Villainous Hero

21 | Hero Exam

"Please stop" the sickly woman pleaded over a river of tears.
"Don't kill me now. I need to tell my son goodbye." The woman's eyes focused on mine like they had the moments before her death.

The despair of dying alone is what she was afraid of. She had died without her family and without the luxury of love.

Thud

My body jerked awake by the harshness of a hardcover book hitting my head. Realizing I fell asleep at my desk I then felt very embarrassed. My arms covered my face, not just to hide my blush. I did it to hide the few tears that escaped while I had been sleeping.

Bakugou has done the honor of waking me up by the looks of it. He had a shit-eating grin on his face and a book in his hand.
Who gave him another book?

My facial expression showed obvious hate for him. Until Aizawa's voice called my attention.

"If you want to sleep I'll be more than happy to diss-enroll you from this school. Then you can sleep all you want." He sounded pissssed off. And I've been trying so hard to stay on his good side.

I bet he's a big fan of Professor Snape. Legit evil on the outside but I know he's sort of a softy deep down.

Aizawa's eyes turned red and angry as his gaze intensified.
DEEP DEEP DOWN.

I nodded in understanding just so he'd stop giving me that death glare. It took everything I had not to roll my eyes.
This is so exhausting.

Some laughs and snickers were heard in the otherwise quiet classroom. That dream though...I'm glad I was woken up from it. The dark feeling in my heart has only grown in size. My nightmares have been following me everywhere lately. Every time I nod off it seems they are right there in my subconsciousness, waiting.

My head rests on my clenched fist. Dark feelings whirl around like a maelstrom inside me.

An angry feeling rose uncontrollably. Normally I'd be sleeping in and living my own wonderful life. Why do I have to sit here and listen to what I'm told to do by these people? I hate being told what to do. It's my way or the highway. I glared at my desk.

If it was my way, I'd be somewhere far away from any responsibility. Really though, I just want all this stress and heartache to go away.

"If you don't want to fail like Suzuki, I suggest you ace this test." Aizawa handed down all the written test sheets and the clock started counting down.

Kaminari reaches behind him and held out the stack of tests. I reached out over my desk for them but before I got a good hold Kaminari let them go. He probably thought I had them.

The pile of papers fluttered to the floor and scattered.

"Ugh, the heck Kaminari" I muttered.

"Oh sorry! Slippery fingers!" The electric blond shrugged and chuckled. He twisted in his chair to look straight at me. One eyebrow was cocked and a smirk was on his lips.

"Next time try not to two-time with my best friends." Kaminari sounded aloof but there was an obvious warning in his voice.

My eyes narrowed.
What is he even talking about?

I stood up from my chair and started picking up the fallen tests.

"That's enough Denki, you don't have to be rude to her," Kirishima whispered loudly from his desk that's besides mine.

"We were never even dating." I barely heard Kirishima's voice as it came out a quiet whisper.

What just happened? Could it be that Kaminari was meaning the incident with Bakugo at the Sports Festival? That was so long ago it seems.
