I hear fighting coming from above my room. Can't they fucking be quiet, I just want to sleep god damn it. I get dressed into my uniform and walk upstairs. Dad started yelling at me. I just pretend I don't hear and walk out. After I get outside, I fly up and just go flying as fast as I can.

I walk over to my seat, and I see Shoto. He comes over to my seat and sits in front of me. He gives me a little smile and says,"You know you have dried blood on your face?" Oh, thanks, not like they'll do anything about it. I've tried telling them multiple times now.

He just nods, and we start class like normal. Always, what I hear is just blah, blah , science, blah ,blah ,blah, smartys, more blah, blah. I just look over at Shoto and make a dead face. He just shakes his head, and I take a nap. I wake up right before the teacher slams a ruler on my desk.

I catch it and look up at him. He looks scared and tries to play it off, but I haven't let go of the ruler. I catch my hand on fire, and he lets go fast. What scared Mr. Lolerts? I give him it back, and he goes to his desk and starts grading papers. Shoto is over at his desk, trying not to laugh.

I use the feather of mine on a necklace I gave him, and all his siblings have one. I make it cover his mouth, and It feels weird, but he stops after a while. I stopped controlling it, and it just fell. After what felt like forever, it was lunch time. I was sitting there eating when I felt someone come up behind me.

Touch me, and I'll make you regret it. I get thrown out of my seat, and I just flip up onto my feet. Okay, you asked for this, you little shit. I get into a fighting stance and just smile while popping my neck with my hands in fists. Come at me! He was hesitaten but then he lunged at me, and I punched him right in the nose. He grabbed onto his nose, and I swept his feet out from underneath him. He ended up grabbing one of my braids and pulled me down. Oh, you motherfucker.

We were both throwing punches for a while when I felt something on my ankle and threw me. Oh, so we're usin quirks now? He looked scared and started backing up. I just ran at him full force with my hands on fire. I burned him a little and punched him on the back of the neck on a nerve, making him freeze and drop.

I won. He looked scared and was breathing hard. I just sat back down and started eating again. Shoto looked at me and said,"Damn, anger issues much." Shut up, I don't have anger issues, I have built rage. There's a difference. He just shakes his head, and we go back to class.

He looks at me and says,"I can't believe you did that." Meh, he deserved it. Anyways, he's okay. I've had worse done to me. He just nodded, and we went into our classroom. Class was boring like usual. School went by fast. I just didn't want to go back home. I stayed at a park for a while until it started to get dark.

Fuck I don't wanna go home. I slowly walked home just taking my sweet old time. After a while, it started raining, so I just put my hood up. I finally made it to my house and I went to go open the door when it opened and a man ran out and I got smacked by a flying plate. Fuck!

I hold my face where it hit and slam the door. Mom and dad are fighting like usual. Don't even notice me. I just walk into the kitchen and get me a pop and walk down to my room. After a while, I hear." Copper, get your ass up here!" Fuck me. I get upstairs, and dad looks mad.

Y-yes, sir? He grabs me and yells,"You're getting into fights now, huh, and failing classes!" He just chucks me, and I try to breathe right. I get kicked in the side, and he yells,"Get your ass up!" Right when I get up, he hits me again. He keeps yelling for me to get up, but then keeps hitting me.

He finally just sits and throws his beer bottle at me. I wipe some of the blood from my face and try to get up. He looks at me and says,"Go get me another beer." Y-y-yes sir. I run in there and don't see any. Shit! Shit! Shit! No. I slowly walk in there. Uh y-your out.

He looks mad and stands up and grabs me. He just let's lose, and keeps hitting me over and over again without stopping. I look over and see mom. She just watches him keep hitting me, and I can't get up. Even drunk, he's stronger than me.

I try to push him away, but it doesn't go well. I can feel the blood drip down my face and taste it in my mouth. He yells in my face," You can never do anything right, we never wanted a daughter only a son but we got stuck with you, and you fail at everything, fuck you failed at ending your own life that one time! You're useless!It should've been you who died, not your brother!" I keep crying and just kick him in the stomach and run out the door, and keep running.

I don't look back, afraid he'll be behind me. I try to fly, but it hurts. The rain pounds on my head, and it stings on my cuts. I look back because I hear something. That was a bad choice because I ran into someone and fell on the ground. Shit.
