A few days later, I got released from the hospital. I followed Aizawa to his car, lugging all of my gifts behind me. Katsuki passed along the gifts from my classmates since they weren't allowed to see me. I held a large, heart-shaped card with a message from my classmates telling me "We hope you come back to us soon!" in my hands and set down the five plastic bags holding flowers; books that Yaomomo gave me; iron supplements from Shouji, Iida, Tokoyami, and Koda; Jirou And Kaminari made me a song; Kirishima, Mina, Ochako, Midoriya, and Toru gifted me a class photo with a custom frame they made out of wood, glitter, and painted hearts of different colours; a full bag of snacks such as chocolates, chips, and candy (most of which, I ate); balloons; Shoto gave me large bouquet of white and red roses; and Bakugou gifted me a necklace with a gold, magnet-shaped pendant (I almost cried when I revived it).

"I gave the class three free periods to do whatever for you and I regret it." He mumbled. "How is all of this fitting in my car?!"

"A better question is how we're going to get it out." I gestured to the balloons squished together and taking up the whole other half of the backseat.

"Damn kids..." he grumbled as the car started and we drove away.

Aizawa's house was quite normal-looking. It was just another house in the neighbourhood. I hauled all of my things into my room. I pushed the door open with my foot and let out a huff as I set all of my things down. My room was empty except for a desk, a lamp, an empty shelf, and a bed with a plain white bedsheet.

"Decorate it how you like, I don't care." Aizawa said as he stood at my doorway. "You can't leave this house without being under supervision, understand?"

I nodded my head. "I promise to be the best illegitimate daughter!" I bowed a bit.

He rolled his eyes, but his lips tugged upwards slightly. "You're going back to school tomorrow tomorrow, so here", he dropped a package of papers on my desk. "is all of the work you missed."

I frowned at the two-inch thick stack.

"Most of it is English, so I pray for you." Aizawa said as he left.

I plopped down in my desk chair and sighed. I whipped out my phone and put in my password. The screen was cracked and the only app I had was google and contacts. I opened the dial and tried to remember the phone number on the school files I read a week ago. I typed in what I think is Katsuki's home number and clicked the call button. I nervously played with my necklace as I listened to the obnoxious buzzing.

"Hello, who the fuck is this?" A familiar voice  growled on the other end of the line.

"Hey, Katsuki. It's me, Rei." I replied.

"How the fuck did you get my number?" He asked.

"It's on your school record." I stated simply.

"How the fuck did you get into my school records?!"

"I had to hack in about a week ago and I remember seeing your number there." I responded as I grabbed a bag of honey butter chips from one of the plastic bags holding the gifts from my friends.

"I can't believe you used to be a villain..." he muttered.

"I can't believe I'm not." I responded as I opened the bag. "I can't believe you're my childhood best friend more."

"Damn, I should've known you were Rainy-chan." He said. "I thought you seemed like her, but I thought she was gone." He paused for a moment. "You still fucking lied to me, though."

"I'm really sorry." I pleaded. "I wish I could just...do my life over."

"Everyone feels like that at some point." Katsuki tried to comfort me. "I think there's a hard stage in life you just have to overcome. If you restart your life, you'll have to do the hard stage all over again." He stated.

"Wise words from a not-so-wise man." I chuckled.

"What do you mean?!" He snarled.

"I mean, it isn't wise to be so trusting of me considering I'm a traitor." I responded as I crunched on the chip.

"You're not a traitor. We know you aren't." Katsuki softly replied. My eyes widen in surprise for a moment. "You would've been a traitor if you fought us and left with those bastards."

"I was a spy, though..."

"You were just doing what you had to do. You were raised to be a villain and this is how it turned out." He explained. "You're still Rei to me, though. You're  still the same girl I l-listen to even w-when you're s-speaking bullshit." He stammered. "Yes, listen listen listen..." he mumbles.

"Did you just stutter?" I giggled. "Did I just hear Katsuki Bakugou stutter?!" I teased.

"Shut the fuck up, magnet-face!" He growls. "I'm going to hang up!"

"No! Don't go!" I blushed a bit after realizing what I said. "I-I mean...go if you want." I nervously stuttered.

"Now looks who's stuttering." I could hear the smirk in his voice.

"Shut up!" My face was the shade of a firetruck, but thankfully, he can't see me.

"I have to go. The old hag is calling." He groans.

"Oh, okay." I'm a bit disappointed. "I'll see you tomorrow at school." I feel sad for some reason. 'I wish I talked to him a bit more.' I then hear a beep as he hangs up. I put my phone down and decide to get cracking on my work.

"Alright," I say out loud to myself. "First page, 'There, Their, and They're'. Why are there three different 'there's?!"
