As the students returned to their dormery, Hailey exhaustedly fell face first onto the couch. 

"I am ready to pass away." She said through the sofa cushion.

"You worked really hard today, Hailey. Don't give up on us now!" Denki teased, ruffling her hair.

"Yeah, you were the MVP today!" Kirishima cheered. 

Hailey sat up and smiled at her classmates, "You guys are real sweet. But I wouldn't have done so well, if it weren't for you all inspiring me to be the best version of myself." She said genuinely.

Mina's eyes watered and she squeezed Hailey from behind, "We must protect you!" She sobbed.

Hailey giggled and patted on Mina's arm, then noticed that Izuku was staring at his phone in excitement. 

She smiled fondly at him, "Hey Izu, you tell your mom about getting your license yet?" 

Midoriya looked at and returned her smile, "Yeah, she said that she started crying and was really proud of me."

'That is just so precious.' Hailey gushed in her thoughts. 

"Of course she would be, you really shined during the exam." She winked, causing the green haired boy's face to flush.

Just then, Bakugou entered the room with a serious aura around him and called to Midoriya. 

"You. Meet me outside out front later." He said and as he walked by Midoriya, said something else that only Midoriya could hear.

Hailey noticed and walked up to Midoriya, "Hey, what was that about?" She asked, lowly.

"I-I don't know.." Midoriya answered, but Hailey wasn't convinced.

The common area was as vacant as it was dark, the only light source came from Hailey's phone. 

She sat on the couch, legs pulled into her chest, as she looked through series of text messages she had with her mother. When she made it to the most recent, an icon right of above her message bar read 'This Number Is Disconnected'. 

Hailey sighed, disheartened again. 

She was having no luck coming into contact with her mother in recent days. Hailey assumed that her mother had destroyed her cellphone so she wouldn't be tracked by the villain that was.. 

Hailey let out another sigh, she had almost forgotten what her father had become. 

Although she knew that everyone was sleeping, except Bakugou and Midoriya, Hailey refused to give into her stinging eyes and cry. She wiped her eyes and sniffled.

"How did my life go this far into shit?" She murmured.



"Oh I didn't know anyone was still up." Piped up a tired voice.

Hailey let out a surprised squeak, but then relaxed as she recognized All Might's now skinny form.

"Shouldn't you be in bed, Young Roselle?" All Might inquired, and turned on a lamp to provide some light.

"Y-yeah I am.. sorry All Might." Hailey nervously chuckled. "I was just..I was just.." Hailey trailed off and looked back at her phone screen.

"Just what, Hailey?" All Might questioned.

Hailey panicked. She could either tell her teacher about her mother's digital trail being completely gone or the two students that were probably fighting outside somewhere.
