Brainwaves

Chapter 6 Secrets

After what felt like a neverending day, school was finaly over for that friday, and the weekend could now begin.

"Hey guys, what if we all went out for pizza today, to welcome y/n to the class?" Kaminari says as you were all walking out of the school building.

"I think that is a great idea, way to show initiative for friendship Kaminari." Iida says in his usual supportive voice.

Your guess was that Kaminari just really wanted pizza, and tried to hide it behind class spirit. Not that you were conplaining, pizza sounded amazing.

Everyone else also seemed to agree, even Bakugou, to your's and other's surprise. So then you went back to the dorms to discard your bags, and also change, then collectivly walked to the pizza shop.

"Did you and your old class ever do stuff like this." Midorya asks, trying to make some smalltalk along the way.

"Well, no not really, Shiketsu really prioretises learning over leasure, I swear people there were brainwashed into being robot heros." You say, adding on a laugh as well, you found your joke funny, though it seemed like no one else did.

People were now looking at you with sad eyes. "No guys don't do that, its fine, what im trying to say is, it was a really focused school, and the students acted accordingly." You say, trying to get their pitying eyes off you.

"That sounds like my old man honestly." Todoroki says. At some point during the conversation he had showen up right next to you, no idea when.

You share a look for a split second, a look that says "I understand you." And it was a nice moment to connect with someone you hadn't had a chance to talk to yet in your class.

~~~~~~~~~

"Why isn't the pizza done yet, i'm starving." Kaminari says. He was being dramatic, you had only been waiting for your food for 5 minutes, he would survive.

"QUIT YOUR WHINING IT'S GIVING ME A MIGRANE." Big words coming from he guy who is litteraly screaming but ok. Maybe Bakugou was one of those people who got hangry. Though you wern't sure if you would actually be able to distinguish that from his actual personality.

"So y/n," oh no, Mina has now turned the attention to you again "we wanna know more about you, we have had a whole year to get to know eachother, we don't know much about you though, like where are you from, do you have any siblings, what made you wanna be a hero?"

Shit, you didn't know if you could answer any of those questions honestly. Had this been a few years ago, you would have probably set of an explotion due to nervosity, but you had learned to control that. Your brainwaves no longer spiked in stressfull situations, which is why it looked so natural when you lie.

"Well, my life really isn't that interesting." You start. You felt bad about this, but these people would look at you a whole lot different if they knew the whole truth.
"I am born and raised in Kyoto." You had know idea where you were born or raised. Every time you moved, there would just be another dark room. For all you knew, you possably wern't even born in Japan.

"I don't have any siblings, so I guess I was a bit spoiled as a kid, being raised as an only child." Another lie, in that moment you felt a tear in your chest. You hoped Hina could forgive you, you never wanted to hide your sister. But if telling them about your sister, meant telling them about her death, then lie is what you had to do.

"Oh, I was sort of the same, i'm also an only child, so I guesd my parents spoiled me a bit too." Momo excitedly says, happy that you to have things in common, even if those things were only figments of your own imagination.

"So why did you wanna become a hero y/n?" Izuku asks. It was the one thing you hadn't already answerd. It was also a question you had never gotten before, so you didn't have a rehersed lie for it.

"Uhm, well, I guess I just always knew. When I was a kid I would always watch the heros on tv, and from then I knew i wanted to be like them, I wanted to help people." You say, praying that it sounded belivable.

The first time you ever had seen a hero, was 3 years ago. You didn't know it at the time, but up until that point, your parents had been training you to be a villan. Telling you that hurting people was the right thing to do. Even though that was all you had ever known, your moral compass still told you otherwise.

When you first saw a hero in action, you knew it was all fake. They had been feeding you lies since the moment you could hear. You no longer wanted to be what they had convinced you to.

"Awwwwww, that is such a cute story, you are going to be an amazing hero y/n." Ochaku says.

Welp, they bought it at least, but you didn't know how much longer you could keep up with this lying. It felt so wrong, it felt like something they would make you do.

~~~~~~~~~~

Despite the investigation of your life, the time you had spent with the class was actually quite enjoyable. It felt nostalgic for something you hadn't even experianced before.

But the lying had taken a toll on you, and your brain was fried. You needed some peace and quiet, but you didn't feel like going to your room right now, you needed air.

Whilst in the elevator in the dorm building this morning, you had noticed that the elevator went all the way to the roof. That seemed like the perfct spot for peace right now. You got into the elevator and headed to the roof.

A/n: Do you guys think you will be alone on the roof? Do you think you will have peace and quiet? I guess we will see...🧡
