Sophie Griffiths

"Hey Shinsou, you alright?" Aizawa-Sensei(my uncle) asked as he knocked on the door. It was the afternoon, I haven't been going to classes or out of my bed after what happened. One of my very close friends outside UA got attacked by villain and died. She was my best friend. She didn't judge, she didn't discriminate because of my quirk, she thought my quirk was cool even! She was the best friend anyone would love to have, but she's gone now and I couldn't do anything about it.

FLASHBACK
"Hey Shinsou, do you want to go to the mall?" She asked
"I've got hero training I need to do with Aizawa, I'm sorry." I answered.
"Your ALWAYS training, can you let it pass this one time?"
"I'm really sorry, but my uncle is really strict when it comes to school, I can't miss it I'm sorry."
"Fine, I'll just go by myself."
~ a few hours later~
I was watching the news lazily when something caught my eye. It was the mall Sophie went to.
I sat up and I heard the lady say "A tragic accident has happened at the mall. Many were were minor and majorly injured only one died. Her name was Sophie Griffiths. The police think it's a villain attack, but no one fully knows the whole story—"
"NO!" I screamed. They showed her dead body and everything. It wasn't a nightmare, it was real and I wasn't very pleased with it. Sophie was my only friend, my best friend, and the villains took that away from me.
FLASHBACK ENDED

"Shinsou. I need you to answer me, are you alright?" Aizawa repeated himself, but this time, he came in. He sat on the bed near me.
"It's my fault Shota, I could've went but I said I had training to do when really I was just tired!" I said.
"It's not your fault and you need to know this. When I was your age I had a friend outside of UA that died too. She... died of cancer. I never got out of bed unless I got dragged out by 'Zashi. A few days past and I still couldn't  get out of bed unless dragged. but this time 'Zashi said something I will never forget. He said,
FLASHBACK SHOTA'S POV
"Sho, you deserve to be happy. You deserve to live a life you're excited about. Don't let others make you forget that. Think about the good times in life rather than the tough ones. Shota, I care about you a lot, please get out of bed before I have to drag you again, please be happy, you know what they say, fake it till you make it."
FLASHBACK ENDED
Shinsou's P.O.V

Fake it till you make it.

"Fake it till you make it? That's a bit dumb, don't you think?" I asked.
"Let me finish, what Yamada said to me stuck with me. Now, get out of bed, even if you are sad, like Hizashi said, fake it till you make it. Also, Nezu said to me if you don't get out of bed you'll be expelled. Just saying. You haven't gotten out of bed for a week now. Also, you need to shower, you smell." My uncle answered. With that he left the room.
Well, if I'm going to be expelled if don't get out of bed, I have to get out of bed. It sounded like the truth anyways, and he expelled an entire class last year so, who knows what's going to happen?
So what do I do?
I get out of bed and head for the shower. After that, I get dressed into my usual outfit. A black t-shirt with a hoodie on top because it's cold today and a pair of black jeans. All black. Perfect.
I go to the common room with everyone already there. I walk to the kitchen and get some cereal, which is what I eat usually. Well, besides from the past week but like, you know what I mean. Anyway once I poured the milk, I grab a spoon from the draw, and head to the table and eat.
Kaminari is the first to notice that I'm not dead, and what does he do? He shouts that I'm alive and 1-A automatically turns around to see me. It's nice to see that they all have smiles on though.

"Hey look it's Shinsou! He's alive!!" Kami comes over and gives me an unexpected hug. Denki is the only person who is allowed to hug me.
"Yay!"
"That's so manly of you bro!!"
"Hooray!"
"Yes!!"
"Yay my goth buddy!"
"Fuck off asshole."
"Bakubro be nice to him!"
"Don't call me that shitty hair!"
"Oh and by the way, Nezu never said he'd expel you, it was the only to make you get up." Fuck you Aizawa. I give him THE look. He gives me THE smile.
