𝔖𝔢𝔞𝔰𝔬𝔫 1: ℭ𝔥𝔞𝔭𝔱𝔢𝔯 2~ 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔅𝔢𝔤𝔦𝔫𝔫𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔓𝔱2

Four months before the UA entrance Exam. And my Best friend May has started to become distant. And not in the good way if there even is One. Avoiding me, Avoiding my calls and texts and would even bother to talk to me. Even her parents dont know whats going on with her. 

All of my messages were left on read. Calls? declined. I was worried for my Best friend... Did I do something wrong? Did I hurt her?.. 

It didn't stop there. Soon enough rumours started spreading about the quirkless people in our school. Calling them a bunch of things and even fake stories which were just Disgusting to say the least. No one knew who spread them or who even started them. 

"May.. come on please talk to me." I tried to speak to her once more.. yet again she just shut me down and stormed off. I needed answers.. and fast. 

A close friend of ours Rai was a smart one. Knowing everything about everyone...kinda creepy if I'm being honest but right now that was the last thing on my mind. "Rai.. do you know what's going on with May?" I asked as I sat down next to him during Lunch. 

"Finally glad you asked, took you long enough" Rai took a bite of his noodles. "Not the time." I spoke. 

"Okay okay and yes. I do know." There was a moment of silence before Rai spoke up again "She's upset and jealous if I'm being honest." Upset...Jealous?.. "Wait..Wait What?.. Why?" I was shocked. 

"She's jealous because of your quirk, how good your grades are and how popular you are. Like you she also wants to go to UA but her parents told her she couldn't because of how bad her grades are." Rai explained everything to me. In return leaving me speechless. 

"I..But I thought her grades were good?". "Well that's what she wanted everyone to believe. Yes you help her learn and study but she barely does her exams and homework. You help her better control her quirk but she doesn't care. And her failing at all that is making her spread rumours." 

I felt my blood run cold..May.. what happened to you?.. My once cheerful best friend.. now.. this? "I..I don't Understand...". Rai gently patted my back. 

"She doesn't see you as a best friend anymore Y/n. She now sees you as a rival. She hates how powerful your quirk is and how good your grades are. She believes you don't study or train." That just made me more confused, the reason I am where I am now is the amount of hard work I put in to even get here. 

"Right...I'll...speak to her thanks Rai" I stood up from the table and left, leaving Rai behind. I needed to speak to May Now.

I soon enough found her by her locker, before she could walk away I grabbed her arm, forcefully get gentle. "Why are you spreading rumours about the quirkless kids? and why are you so jealous of me?..." My gaze softened as I looked at her. 

"Why?... Why?.. is that really what you're going to ask. Huh? Little Miss goodie two shoes?!. I hate just how smart and strong you are. I hate how you show off how much money you have, how strong your quirk is.!" She was upset... that was clear. And it hurt.

"May... I never flaunt how much money I have. I-... The reason I am where I am now is the amount of hard work I put in. Flaunting money is the last thing I want to do." I spoke, trying to get her to see my reason.

"Filthy little Liar. You just want others to think you're strong and smart. The only hard work in your life is how much your parents made. You think your life is so perfect. You think just because you're rich means you can get anything you want in life. You think everything is made for you." My eyes widened at her words...never in my life had I thought she'd be like this. 

"May.. Please Just hear-" She quickly cut me off "No way in hell I'm listening to you. I am not listening to someone who claims to have worked hard. Just because your quirk is strong doesn't mean you own anything. You're a filthy little Liar." May spoke, tossing  the now broken friendship necklace at me.

Just like that...My best friend of 9 years..Left me.. it hurt..

It hurt a lot more than it should have.

~~~~~~

2 Months before the UA entrance Exam. My best friend leaving me still hurt. Her words repeated in my head everyday. The times I wanted to give up on UA.. tired of working and training. Seeing the pictures of us happy only shattered my heart more. 

If it wasn't for my father and mother encouraging me to keep pushing there was a chance I wouldn't have went to UA.. but I kept my dream alive. 


I wasn't going to give up that easily.
