Shadow Alchemist

Chapter 9

Rina’s P.O.V

I woke up to something throwing my door open and shouting something that my tired ears couldn’t comprehend. Next thing I know my blanket is being thrown off of my body.

“Rina, didn’t you hear me?” My older sisters voice rang through my head. Her voice was grating and all I wanted was to sleep.

“What time is it?” I questioned.

“5 am, common you gotta say goodbye before I leave.” I felt a tick mark form on my forehead.

“YOU WOKE ME UP AT 5 IN THE FREAKING MORNING SO I COULD SAY GOODBYE?! How considerate of my proper sleep.” I threw my pillow at her now seated position. 

“Oh come on you get up at 5:30 anyways.” 

“Ya, 30 minutes of extra sleep is important for my mental health.” I heard her laugh. I started to stretch out my tense muscles. Realizing the comforting smell of the sweater I was wearing. My mood went from sleepy to wide awake in a matter of seconds. 

“Hey Ri, when did you get that? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you wear a giant sweater like that to bed before.” She walked up to me to tug on the longer sleeves. 

“Well you see I stole it from someone,” her expression was a mix of disappointment and curiosity. 

“You stole something?” I nodded, “Who the hell did you steal it from?” 

“Wouldn’t it be more fun if you guessed.” I gave her a small smirk. Realization hit her like a freight train. 

“No you didn’t.”

“Oh I did.” I winked at her.

“HOW?” 

“Well Mitsuki forced him to deliver some cookies, they are in the cabinet, then he stayed I explained some stuff and I guess I didn’t realize that he took it off. You see I was going to wear it after training yesterday to embarrass him, but he blew up my leg and my poor little fingers.”

“You will forever be one of the weirdest people I know.” I laughed at her and shooed her out of my room so I could get ready. I dressed in my school uniform, throwing my hair up into a high pony and adding a bit of mascara. I looked in the mirror seeing my new shiny leg. A sudden wave of sadness washed over me. I could give up my alchemy, but it’s the only thing that I have left connecting me to Papa. I hope one day I find a way to change these metal limbs into real ones. I shook my head throwing a smile on my face ‘Never feel sorry for yourself, You’ve been through so much it only makes you stronger.’ I chanted in my head to help brighten me up. 

“Ok, WINRY LETS GO I’LL DROP YOU OFF AT THE STATION REAL QUICK!” I shouted through the house. I grabbed the sweater and put it in my bag. Maybe today I’ll get to finally put my plan into action. Opening the door I let the fresh air fill my senses. The taller girl chased after me and we made a fairly silent walk to the station with a few comments and laughs. I know for sure that I’ll miss her even more than before. I almost forgot what it was like having someone around like her. I mean sure I hang out with Sukie, Izu, Iida, Uraraka, and even sometimes Kirishima but it’s nothing like having my family around. I miss her and Eds’ yelling and Al's small attempts at making them stop. I started to get teary eyed at the thought.

“Ri are you ok?” Winry put her hand on my back as we approached the station. I nodded letting some tears out. 

“I’m just getting a little homesick is all, it’s nothing to worry about.” She gave me a hug and we talked a little more before we went our separate ways. I walked alone in silence. It was making me kind of uneasy. At some point it felt as if someone was watching me. I take out my phone to check the time realizing I had to hurry to get to school. Ignoring the feeling I walk faster managing to get to school and into my class in record time. Still almost late. Because the stupid reporters were outside. 

My eyes scanned the class to find my favorite hot head, SUKIE! I ran over to his desk and sat on top of it giving him an ear to ear grin. 

“What do you want idiot?” he scowled.

“Why whenever I’m around you I have to want something?”

“Because that’s just how you are.” 

“What? I’m not like that at all jerk.” I pouted crossing my arms looking the other way.

“Rockbel! I must ask you to remove yourself off of the top of that desk!” Iida practically yelled at me. I gave a sigh getting off not wanting to get a scolding from my mother. 

“Anyway Sukie, I wanted to see if you wanted to come over later today?” 

“Why should I?” 

“Welllllllllllllllllllllll, I have nothing to do today and Izu is busy so why not ask my second best to hang?” I was internally chuckling waiting for him to blow.

“SECOND BEST, DAMN DEKU DOESN’T EVEN COMPARE TO ME!” everyone was sweat dropping not knowing the situation 

“Oh really? He wouldn’t get mad at me for saying that.” I crossed my arms looking away from him. Everything got really quiet. Almost to quiet. 

That was until, “DAMN DEKU!” I turned to see Sukie holding him up by the collar and Izu visibly shaking. Almost everyone was trying to get Sukie to put him down, but alas no one could do it. So I walked up to the two putting my hand on Sukie’s shoulder.

“I was just kidding Sukie,” I stated with a smile, “You’re my number one.” Things got quiet again. Oh no what did I just say? God Rinna you are such a dumb ass! You just said that in front of the entire class. I looked at his now red face as he now glared at the floor, dropping Izu in the process.

“Tch, whatever.” he grumbled sitting in his chair. Everything went normally and Aizawa walked into the room. 

“Today,” he gave a long pause, “We will be picking a class representative,” everyone let out a relieved sigh that things were going to be normal. We did a little vote and I ended up with 2 votes. I voted for Sukie just to make him happy still he exploded screaming.

“WHO THE HELL VOTED FOR DEKU.” I ignored him congratulating my little broccoli. It was adorable to see him so nervous in front of the class. The day went on casually but I couldn’t stop thinking of when I told Sukie that he is my number one. I mean he is but why the hell would I say that? Out of everything that is what I decided to say. 

Anyway, it was time for lunch and I was ready to shove sooooo much food down my throat. I had gotten a tray and sat next to Izu, Uraraka, and Iida. 

“I just don’t think I’d be the best class rep.” Izu gave a sigh and I sat next to him. 

“What did I miss” I asked shoving some bread into my mouth. Tasty. 

“Midoriya is having doubts about being class rep.” Iida responded.

“WHAT? Izu you’ll be great I know you will.” I gave him a smile after swallowing another bite of my food. Our conversation continued and I was eventually yanked up from my seat almost spilling my delicious soup all over me. 

“You’re sitting with me bitch.” oh it’s just Sukie. Wait no he is dragging me away from my food.

“NOOOOOOO! SOMEONE SAVE ME I’M BEING KIDNAPPED! I NEED MY FOOOOOOODDDD!” Sukie gave me a look like I was insane and then an intruder alarm went off. My heart dropped and everyone flooded through the doors freaking out. Sukie still had his hold on my arm as we were pushed against one of the lockers. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 “WOULD YOU ALL SToP FUCKING PUSHING!” Sukie yelled as I was pushed further against him. He looked at me to make sure I was alright, at the exact same time I looked up at him we were so close, my heart was beating out of my chest. Then someone bumped into him and he kissed me.
