I listen to the crickets chirping outside my window as I stare up at the blank ceiling of my bedroom. I glance at the clock hanging up on the wall. It was hard to see the hands of the clock in the dark, but with a little help from the moonlight, I was able to read the time. '2:30 AM...' I let out a grown and bury my face in the pillow. 'Sleep, you have school tomorrow.' I scold myself. 'Everybody is asleep except you. You don't want to show up after almost a month looking like a sleep-deprived zombie! I need to try and look presentable.' I forcefully shut my eyes.

'I wonder why they even want me back...' I think. 'If I were them, I wouldn't trust myself after finding out I was a spy. I'm glad that they want me, though.' If they didn't let me come back to them, I wouldn't know where to go . I would obviously be in a prison cell, but I would be lost emotionally and mentally. 'Am I a hero or a villain? Can I even be a hero? I'm not cut out for that...' Despite what everyone says, I was still raised differently. What I'm doing now is just like hair dye; I can change the colour and how it looks on the outisde, but my roots are still the same. 'No, stop thinking like that. Even Katsuki believes in you! Don't let him down.' I slap my cheeks lightly a few times and sigh. 'Why does Katsuki even believe in me? He should hate me after lying to him. Not only did I lie about my identity, but I also lied about being his childhood friend. He hasn't even spoke to me about that yet. I really hope he's taking the news okay...'

I toss and turn, hoping to be able to fall asleep and stop these thoughts. The more I think, the less I'll sleep. I try to calm my thoughts and stop thinking completely, but to no avail. 'That damn Tomura...I really wish he didn't tell Katsuki then. The timing wasn't right. Speaking of Tomura, what's he up to now? He won't rest knowing he failed to kill All Might.' At least, that's what Katsuki told me. 'Knowing Tomura, he's probably already brewed up another plan. Hopefully not.' I frown and my brow furrows at the thought of the pale boy. 'He's not going to sti still until he gets what he wants, and he most likely will have a grudge against me.'

I hear the wind howl and the breeze chills me as it comes through the window. I get up an shut it. I stare at the lights that illuminate the city down the hill. Since, this neighborhood is on a hill, I get a nice view of Musutafu's skyline. I then turn my attention towards the dark blue sky. The shining stars made the nightsky seem pitch black compared to its brightness. 'I wonder if Katsuki is staring up at the sky now.' I feel a smile grace my lips and my eyelids feeling heavy. I lie back down in bed and close my eyes. 'Finally, sleep.'

"Here you are." Aizawa states as he drops me off in front of the school. "I'm going to be waiting in the classroom, so don't be late." He then drives off to where I can only assume is the parking lot of this school with his yellow sleeping bag olled up in the passenger seat.

I hang my head low as I make my way to the entrance. Thankfully, it's early in the morning so nobody should be here-

"REI!" A voice snaps me out of my thoughts.

I recognize the voice to be our class president, Iida's and my breath hitches in my throat. 'Out of all of my classmates, I'm sure he's going to be the least trusting of me.' I stop and let the tall boy catch up to me.

"I'm happy to see you." He states. I look at my feet, trying to cover my eyes with my hair. "Of course, we're all happy to see you." His friendliness catches me off-guard. "You can finally tame that dog, Bakugou."

I giggle softly before saying,"I really am sorry. I'm actually really surprised and touched by the fact that you all still trust me."

"I was hesitant at first." He replies. "You were a great actor and I was disappointed that I was fooled, but the longer you weren't here, the more our class fell apart. Bakugou was more irritable and would get into fights and arguments with everyone. His behaviour spread to the rest of us and we all started blaming ourselves and eachother for what happened; Todoroki is back to being cold and distant, Midoriya stil thinks he could've saved you, the girls don't want to talk about and are still very shocked, Kirishima wishes he fought back more against you at the USJ so that you wouldn't have been caught by the league, and the classroom is gloomy and has this negative air." He explains.

"I'm really sorry." Is the only thing I managed to say. Well, what else could I say?

"Anyways, I am relieved our class will be back to normal." He says.

"REEEIIII!" A voice screeches. I turn around and see Kaminari running towards me at full speed. He gives me a big hug and almost squeezes me to death (but I don't mind). "OH MY GOD, YOU'RE HERE!!!!" He starts to tear up.

I smile at him and pat his head. "Yes I am." I reply. "Surprisingly." I add.

"What do you mean 'surprisingly'?!" He exclaims. "You put your life on the life for us and betrayed the league for us!"

"I thought you all would be pretty upset that I was a spy..." I respond.

"Well yeah, but you fought the villains!" He exclaims. "You did something good."

"But none of it would've happened in the first place if I wasn't a spy! I should've- eh?" I'm taken aback by another hug from behind. "Shoto..."

"Will you be quiet? We know what you've done and have accepted it. You should too." He states softly.

I feel my heart swell. "You guys are too kind."

"Don't cry, Rei!" Kaminari says through sobs. "You're going to make me cry more than I already am!"

"Have a tissue, Kaminari." Iida passes Kaminari a small packet of kleenexes.

"Thank you, Iida!" Kaminari grabs the tissue and violently blows his nose.

"REI?!" A few more voices shout. I look behind me and spot Tsu-chan, Yaomomo, Mina, and Toru in the distance. They start running towards me. "WE'RE SO HAPPY YOU'RE OKAY!" They exclaim. They join the hug and I start to feel a little tired with everyone's weight on me, but I'm enjoying it.

"R-Rei-chan?!" I spot a familiar brocoli-haired boy walking with Ochako. "REI-CHAN!" They alos start running full-speed towards me and the others. They join the hug. "Rei-chan, I'm so sorry!" Midoriya starts to tear up.

"What?! No, I should be the one who's sorry! I put everyone in danger and lied about my identity!" I say.

"NONONONO!" Everyone starts to shout and talk over eachother.

My eyes fill with tears, but happy tears. "Thank you, everyone."

"Don't cry!" Everyone starts to tear up as well.

As the other students start to arrive, my classmates all join in the group hug. Everyone around me makes me feel so loved and safe. This foreign feeling feels like a drug; makes me feel light and happy. The only thing missing was a certain, explosive hedgehog who was nowhere to be seen.
