Lucky Girl (BNHA OC Fanfic)

49 // Trusting The Devil

Thank you guys for the continuous support of this book, I really appreciate it. After this chapter I'm going to release an important authors note regarding my current feelings about this book.

"So he rejected you then?" Akamine sits in the chair across from me whilst I lean forward on the edge of the hospital bed, my face in my hands.

"Yep." I mumble. I don't really want to have this conversation right now, I have to try and figure out how to help out on saving Bakugou without Todoroki.

Todoroki. Man, hearing it from someone else just really set it in stone. He doesn't like me back. It's not like I'm surprised. After I woke up, I questioned Ryu about it and he completely brushed off my questions, telling me to ask Todoroki about his feelings instead of trying to find out through him. I'm almost positive he would have told me if Todoroki did like me, so I was prepared for it.

The shock might be less, but the aftermath is all the same. Just because I was prepared, doesn't mean I don't have to deal with the consequences of what I've done.

Me and him agreed to keep going to way we were, but how are we expected to do that? I told him how I felt and he told me he doesn't like me on that way, but I don't actually know what he thinks of me. I don't even know what he thinks about. That little moment back there gave me a little insight into his head, but that doesn't tell me enough to know anything about him. He knows what I think of him. It's hard to play poker when all my cards are on the table.

"Why did you confess to him anyway?" I move my hands away from my face and look at Akamine, "weird timing if you ask me."

"Yeah well, nothing quite makes you have a different look on life than nearly dying." There's no way I'm going to tell her about the plan to save Bakugou or how that led to what it led to. I don't even know what their plan is, but I've been wrecking my head trying to come up with my own.

"Yeah, but you knew you would survive, didn't you?" I can't help but stare at her.

"I didn't know for sure," I stretch forward, "but yeah, I knew that I had a better chance of surviving then anyone else because even when I'm not fighting to survive, luck does it for me. I assume that's why you're not biting my head off."

"Yes, and because screaming at you isn't going to take back what you've done." I'm shocked to see Akamine acting so calm considering I've just taken a bullet, I was expecting her to freak out and start lecturing me. "But you seriously need to stop acting so recklessly. It's going to get us in a lot of shit. You're quirk make be good at protecting you, but one day your luck with run out, Hara."

I genuinely don't know how to respond, there's no proof that what she's saying is correct, but the certainty in her voice makes me feel like it is. I'm not invincible, sometimes I need to remember that.

Heros are always glorified as coming on top and I guess I thought that going to U.A would give me an extra barrier of protection. That couldn't be further from the truth if I tried.

"I know. Sometimes it feels like I don't have any luck in the first place." I let out a dry laugh before rubbing my face again.

"Well I mean, you got shot in the shoulder and had the connections for it to be healed in next to no time."

"Yeah you're right." There's a long pause between us, and I decide to talk to Akamine about this, since she's the only girl here I can talk to since Mina's left. "What do I do now?"

"Do now about what? Todoroki?"

"Yeah."

"Well did you say that you were gonna be friends?" I nod at her. "Then there shouldn't be a problem then, just keep acting the way you used to."

"We can't go on the way we used to though." I quietly mutter, "I'd actually die." Memories of us holding hands to comfort eachother out of Endeavor's hero company, him putting his hands on me when making sure I'm okay, telling me to relax at the training camp, and even when we ended up pushed against the wall together when the alarm went off. I'm glad that last one happened when it did, if it happened now I don't think I'd actually be able to cope.

I look up at Akamine who is raising her eyebrow at me.

"Doesn't matter." I say simply. Me and Akamine have been caught up in our own things to pay attention to eachother recently, so we've spent pretty much the entire afternoon talking to eachother.

"Shit." Akamine hisses as she checks the time and suddenly stands up.

"What's wrong?" I'm suddenly on full alert, she seems very alarmed and after the week I've had, I'm fully prepared to punch anyone that comes too close.

"I've got to go meet the pros." She mutters to herself, clearly very panicked.

"Why do you have to meet the pros, is there a special meeting thing?" I say jokingly, but she doesn't respond. I slowly realise how bizarre this actually is. "Wait why are you meeting with pros? You've never done that before, you might be a pro but you're an underground one, you do you're own thing and you never get involved with others." It's like something clicks in my head as I slowly process what's going on. "Unless it's for U.A."

She gives me this blank look of pure concern.

"Are you going to save Bakugou?" With this idea already at the forefront of my mind, this ws obviously the first thing my mind was going to jump to, I didn't expect it to be right.

"Yes, and I really need to go." She starts to leave the room as I process what just happened. Shit. I need a plan and quick.

"Can I borrow your phone?"

"What?"

"My phone's dead and I suddenly realised that I need to text Todoroki to sort something out from earlier."

"What? Hara I really need to go. What on earth did you not sort out earlier?" The annoyance is rising in her voice.

"Midoriya and Kirishima ere there so we couldn't talk about... uh.. boundaries?" I sound so stupid as my words come out as more of a question. "I really need to message him as soon as possible so I don't do something that could make him uncomfortable. Please! Akamine I need to do this."

"For God's sake, fine." She unlocks her phone and throws it to me, "just hurry up for my sake, I don't want to me late for saving your classmate."

After fiddling with her phone for a bit, she gets increasingly annoyed.

"What the hell is taking so long? I'm going to be in so much shit if you don't hurry up." She growls, clearly sick of my bullshit at this point.

"And send." I say as I finish with her phone, clicking it off and throwing it back to her. She instantly shoves it in her pocket and says goodbye as she walks out, not even giving me chance to respond to her.

A sigh of relief escapes me and I lunge across my bed to grab what I need.

I dial the number and push my own mobile phone against my ear whilst it rings.

"Hey, kid, what's up?" The familiar and friendly voice rings out.

"Hey, are you still in the building?" I fiddle with my hair, the anxiety rising in me as I process what I'm about to do.

"Yeah course, I wouldn't just leave without telling you."

"Perfect." I mutter quietly, mainly to myself. "Ryu, I need a ride."
