Chapter 5: Lonesome

(THERE IS UNDERAGE SMOKING IN THIS CHAPTER, SKIP IF YOU'D LIKE)

The village she led them to was nothing short of beautiful. It wasn't as expensive as the village in the capital city but it was still stunning. The houses were built of glistening sand bricks, some decorated with string lights and others decorated with beautiful colors of fabric, draping over the railings of balconies.

The market wasn't too crowded but it also wasn't empty either. The stands were built of wood with different colors of quilts adorning each structure, everyone decorated with different contents like flowers, fruit, pottery, jewelry, and tons more items.

"Hey Beth how's it going!"

"Sup red-head!"

"Beth, we gotta hang out some day!"

"Beth mija, thank you for earlier today"

The two boys watched as "Beth" was showered with attention and praise while they walked behind her. She flashed everyone a closed eyed smile as she walked past waving at them, answering them one by one.

"Of course Mrs. Elrod! I'm always happy to help" Astraea grinned at the elderly lady in front of her. "Don't ever hesitate to ask!" Astraea took the black bag the lady handed her before turning back to the students behind her. "Come on you two, I gotta show you guys around the city".

She grabbed their hands and started sprinting down the side walk. "Goodbye everyone!"

A large group of people replied back to the red headed girl before turning back to their original tasks, some watching the girl fade into the less populated part of town.

She turned back and started slowing down as she sighed in relief, turning around to the two behind her and stopping in her tracks

"Sorry that it was so crowded back there. I'm known as a big help around that part of the village so a lot of people know me down there, but I didn't want you guys to get caught up in all that." She rubbed the back of her neck while Todoroki flashed a small smile

"It's quite alright Konya. Is your house still far from here?"

"We've been walking for too long so where is it?!" Bakugo yelled, a few people turning to stare as his voice grew louder

"We've been walking for seven minutes. Besides it's up the block so we're almost there". Astraea turned around and started walking again, signaling the other two to follow.

Konya's house was nothing like they were expecting. It was absolutely beautiful

"I know it may not look like much since you guys come from rich families but it's enough for me. I'm just lucky I'm able to live here." Astraea walked over to the front gate of her house, gesturing for them to come in to which they obliged.

The house was a fair size, built of a mixture of sandstone, stone, and brick. The front lawn was filled with white sedums and small daffodils, the two contrasting beautifully with the rich yellow petals and the tiny white buds.

"You grew these yourself Konya?" Todoroki crouching down inspecting the petals on the daffodils.

"Yup. I spent a while on those. My roommate taught me how to garden since most of the flowers I planted before wilted."
Astraea kept walking down the path to the front door, grabbing her keys out of her pocket.

"You guys gonna come in or not?"

"Shut up, we're coming" Bakugo pulled Todoroki by the back of his shirt and dragged him to the door
