The Hero Meets the Villain

Chapter 1: First Day in Everything

////

An alarm from your phone had woken you up from your sweet slumber. You only groaned in reply before rolling over on your mattress and pressed the snooze button.

Yawning, you had stood up from your bed and began to stretch. You walked down the stair with a slight stumble, deciding to follow the aroma and it leads you to the kitchen (obviously).

"Morning, Y/N," Your aunt greeted. You reply, your tone unmatched with her energy. You were quite amazed at how your aunt May could be so full of energy this early in the morning, but you couldn't question it. She's the only joy this household could offer.

You began to do your morning routine; shower, toothbrush, hairbrush, clothing, etc.

You watched May as she was packing your favorite food inside your lunch bag. Your lips lifted into a fond smile. You approached her, ready and prepared as you took the bag from her. "Thanks, May." You said, embracing her sheepishly.

"You're welcome, sweetie," she said as if it was no big deal. "I try the best for you. And I know I'm not like your parents, I know they could give so much to you, but-"

"May, you're enough." You cut off, giving her shoulders a reassuring squeeze. You wanted to laugh at her trying to stop the tears from falling, but she's failing. "Thank you for understanding."

To interrupt the touching moment, the shrill sound of the bus arriving had resounded through the house.

"Gotta go!" You frantically picked up your big bag and stuffed your lunch inside. You bounded towards May and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. After one last look in the mirror, you were ready to go.

The bus door opened itself and you stepped in, taking in the new face of the bus driver and teen passengers.

Transferring to a new school so sudden was hard.

Social interaction is harder.

You gulped and began to trek quickly by the back of the bus. The only available seat was the very last one, by the window. You hastily sat down because if you don't, then you might've fallen and that's gonna be the start of your embarrassing year.

You sneaked a glance at the people sitting beside you. The one sitting nearest to you was a slightly chubby kid, green eyes sparkling as he seemed to be talking about meatloaf (you have ears). The guy next to him was a curly red-head with blue eyes. He was half-listening to the guy, nodding every now and then. Then the girl at the other end of the seat was maroon-haired and wears glasses under those brown eyes.

Before they could notice you, you already looked away, opting to just do some sightseeing, maybe try to familiarize yourself with the neighborhood as you figured that this will be your permanent home now.

Not long after, you heard frantic whispers. With your peripheral vision, you could notice that the big guy was looking at you every once in a while, with a suspicious look.

"She looks like a new student, don't you think?"

"Boone, stop staring. You're going to make her uncomfortable."

"Sorry, I'm just curious. Like what if-"

"You know I can hear you guys, right?" You said, startling the three of them. You offered them a comforting, yet uneasy smile. You outstretched your hand towards them. "Hi. I'm Y/N."

The guy beside you smiled and took your hand. "I'm Boone. These are my friends-"

"I can introduce myself, Boone." The girl glared under her glasses. She reached for your palm and shook it. "Sashi Kobayashi."
