Torn (Book 2)

"Maes!"

Y/N POV

I look out the window.

It looks like the storm is clearing up...we'll probably have school tomorrow...

The Next Day at Lunch...

"That storm was really random..." Itsuka says, making conversation.

"Yeah...it came out of nowhere," Kirishima comments.

"Dabi caused it," I state, nonchalantly, eating some of my lunch.

The table goes silent.

"What?" I ask.

"Anyway...how's class going?" Itsuka asks me and a few of my other classmates.

"Same as always..." I mumble.

Bakugo scoffs.

"What's the matter, Puff Puff?" I ask Bakugo.

"Nothing. I'm. Fine," Bakugo says, stabbing the meat he's eating.

"Something is definitely wrong, bro..." Tetsutetsu says.

"Y/N, How the f##k do you always finish your essays when you have like...twelve different jobs?" Bakugo asks.

"I cram...and bullsh#t through them," I say, truthfully.

"...how?" Jirou and Kirishima ask, starring at me, wide eyed.

"I don't how I get an A. The teachers are always like 'I can tell if you didn't read the book' or 'I can tell when people bullsh#t through their paper.' No, they can't. You can tell when people are bad at bullsh#ting through their paper. I normally am so busy I can't read the book, I just skim through a summary and comments about the book with spoilers, and I got and A. In reality, they all kneel before my Throne of Knowledge, unaware that it was born from lies...Hell, I normally can bluff through things to the people here and they think I'm serious..." I grumble, finishing my bento.

"...well, now we have two annoyed people at the table," Monoma comments, drinking his grape juice out of his wine glass.

I feel my phone buzz.

I take it out and see that it's a text from Huges:

Maes Huges: Hey! Later today Gracia and I are going out on a date. Elicia normally stays with a friend, but she really wants to hang out with you while we're gone. Do you mind babysitting her for us?

Me: I would love to spend time with Elicia! It's been a while since we've seen each other, sure!

I put away my phone.

End of the Day...

I head to the military headquarters and enter my office.

I get changed and start on some paper work.
