"Take the applications you haven't finished with you and do them for homework." Aizawa says as we gather our things to go. "We'll continue this tomorrow too, so don't stress yourselves out at home."

I zipped my bookbag and threw it over my shoulder before walking out of the class, sticking my hands in my pockets as I walked out of the classroom doors,  noth bothering to say my goodbyes to the rest of the class as they huddled around one another in conversation that I truly wasn't even intreested in.

"Damn man, do you ever wait for anyone?" Eijiro asks me as I round the corner. "I damn near have to sneak out of class before it ends just to catch up with you."

I didn't bother to answer him. Regardless if I waited or not, it wasn't like we weren't going in the same direction. He'd catch up eventually, so what'd it really matter?

"See you guys tomorrow." A voice calls to us. The New Girl is walking in the same direction as us, but she's behind us, walking with Ochacho, Mina and Jirou, smiling at us. Her slender hand waving at the two of us– and for some reason, I felt my face getting hot, which instantly annoyed me.

"See you tomorrow Ceioni!" Eijiro waved back at the girl, giving her a toothy grin. I on the other hand, just looked over my shoulder at her before turning my head.

"You could try to be nice to her." He says again as we continue walking down the hall. I frown.

"Why should I?" I ask.

"Because she's actually trying to be your friend." He replies, crossing his arms over his chest. "I should give her some tips as to what I did." I could see him giving me a mocking smirk from the corners of my eyes.

Cheeky little shit.

"Excuse me?!" I grit, glaring at him as he chuckles at me.

"Ah c'mon!" He throws his arm around my shoulder. "We're best buds aint we?"

"Get off of me." I tell him, which only makes him drop more of his weight on me. I growl, narrowing me eyes. "Eijiro get the fuck off me!"

He snorts in response, a grin on his face; the asshole. To my pleasure however, he removes himself from me. We exit the building and trot down the stairs. We both bank left once we're out the gates.

"Oh sweet you guys walk this way too?!"

Jesus why is she behind us? I cringe when she pops between us, hooking her arms in Eijiro's and I. I let out a groan. I just want to go home, away from all of this. Away from Kirishima, away from her, away from the outside world. I need a nap.

Yeah, a nap sounds nice..

"We can walk home together!" She chirps excitedly with a wide grin on her face. I breathe in. Choosing to ignore her altogether. Maybe if I pretended she wasn't there, she actually wouldn't be.

"Sweet." Eijiro says slowly, removing his arm from her hold and throwing it over her shoulder, making her giggle. She fucking giggles! It's the most annoying thing I could ever hear in my life.

"How far do you live from the school?" Eijiro asks her as we continue walking.

"I live a few blocks away." She says softly. She looks over at him as if she were going to ask the same thing, only for Eijiro's smile to widen.

"Really!" He says. "I live on that street too. We can probably walk home together."

"I-I don't mind that." She says again. She then looks over at me. Her lips purse together as I try not to look at her, but curse good my peripheral vision. She then turns her head yet again, making me give a sigh of relief. She then continued her conversation with Eijiro damn near all the way till we got to my street, which was a street over from them– something that now became way too close for comfort to me. But that was out of my hands.
