My mother waddles unevenly towards me. She started to hit me as usual.
"Go to the store and get me more drink! You worthless child!" She yelled whilst hitting me. I held back the tears in my eyes. She was getting even more aggressive. I ran out the door and to the shop with the very little money we had left. I hated my life so much, hated it! I had to use my fake ID because I wasn't the age to buy alcohol yet. Luckily I did look a lot older than I really was. I got back to my house and gave my mother her drink, which she didn't thank me for. I bolted upstairs to avoid her and I was going to phone my dad. He worked in an office doing something really confusing that doesn't make sense. I ringed his office and all I had to do was wait for him to pick up.
"Hello, Mr. (l/n)'s office how can I help you?"said a tired and fed up voice.
"Dad, it's me" I chirped over the phone.
"Hey sweetie, how was your first day at UA?" He asked excitedly.
"Great, how is work?" I asked sadly.
"I won't be home until really late tonight then I need to leave super early in the morning, I'm sorry honey, I haven't seen you in ages."
He said, filling me in with bad news.
"That's okay dad, bye"
"Bye"
I put my phone down and felt a tear stream down my face. Why did he always have to work? Why couldn't it be my mother? I lit my face down into my pillow and sobbed. I could hear my mother down stairs blasting music and I think she had friends over.

I must have cried myself to sleep the night before because I woke up mega tired. But today was my battle with the boy, who I think his name was Bakugo. I got into my UA uniform and brushed my hair. UA was really the only thing keeping my life going. All I wanted was to become a hero. I rushed down stairs to see my mother passed out on the sofa, drink I hand. I quickly and quietly took my bag from the table and walked out the door. The cold hit me and I almost fell on ice. As much as it was close to Christmas I hated winter. I carefully walked my self to UA trying not to slip on ice. After what felt like forever I reached my class just before it started. I made my way to my desk and plopped myself down. Then I heard a familiar voice from behind me. I looked around to see Bakugo, damn! I forgot he sat there.
"You ready for our fight later on?" He smirked.
"Yeah" I said bravely "And I'm also ready to win!"
He laughed, "We'll see about that"
