Divided

The beginning of the end

Reina:

   I was walking with Shoto in the hall after the class.

   "I have a question. Do you really think it's okay to have an unsupervised party off grounds with my uncle on the loose. For all we know he could have people watching us right now."

   "I think it will be okay. We fought really strong villains and... We're even stronger now. So even if they did attack us. I think it would be ok."

   "Are you sure?"

   "I'm sure. Let's just have some fun." He smiles lightly at me. His perfect, rare smile.
 
   Ever since my panic attack Shoto and I have been spending a lot of time together. He's become one of my best friends. This class, these people saved me. They make me feel loved and wanted. They're my heroes.

Chihara:

   Mina and I went for a walk after school.

   "You know you have a creepy effect on Bakugo." She looks at me.

   "What do you mean."

   "I mean there's a reason I didn't even attempt to fight him on the party thing. He NEVER goes to stuff like this. Not even when Kiri asks him."

   "Huh." I say that casually but really my stomach dropped.

   What? Me? Why?

   "When did you guys get so close anyways. The only time you guys have hung out is at the mall." She talks while looking straight ahead and I stop in my tracks.

   "What? That is the last time you guys hung out. Right?" I hesitate. "Right?"

   I shake my head.

   "WHAAAT!? WHEN?!"

   "Every night?" I shrug. Her jaw drops.

   "What?! Why?! Since when? Why didn't you tell me?!"

   "I don't know! It was kind of our thing that we didn't really talk about in front of people... I guess. I don't know." I scratch my head. "Plus I thought he might be upset if people found out."

   "Why?"

   "Well he never asks to hang out with me during the day. And rarely talks to me during the day."

   She smirks. "Oh so he wants you all to himself." She nundges my elbow with her own. I blush.

   "Shut up! Your so weird. It's not like that."

   "You totally like him!" Her jaw drops again and looks at me.

   "I do not! If we wanna talk about liking people let's talk about the fact that you and Kiri are in love and both just won't admit it!"

   "Ok. We don't half to talk about it." She puts her hands up.

   "Good."

***********

   Later Katsuki showed up at my dorm right on time.

   That's just like him.

Kaede:

   Before I walked to Denki's room, I got dressed and did my hair and stuff. I put on a gold swimsuit, over it I had shimmery gold shorts and black cropped long sleeve shirt. My hair was up. Then I knocked.

   "Hey." He opened the door and looked me up and down. "You look... Really good."

   "Thanks." I blush slightly and turn away from him. "Not so bad yourself."
