Mistakes (Kiribaku)

Status Bar

Kirishima's P.O.V

   I didn't tell Bakugou one part of my plan. Everyday, at 11:59, I would send him a message. A short one that either said, just friends, crushing, falling, uninterested, interested, and so on. Just so he could be caught up. I didn't explain that part because I knew he would ask for a status any time of day and I would be too nice to deny. When I got back to my dorm, I immediately got a text. Checking it, I saw it was Mina.

Mina🌺: I'm so confused???

I frowned a little, I typed back.

Kirishima🏳️‍🌈: about what???

Mina🌺: Sero.

Kirishima🏳️‍🌈: why are you so confused???

Mina🌺: because I don't know if I want to get back with him. We woke up this morning and we had a talk and I said I would think about it and he just messaged me asking if I made up my mind. But I'm scared of saying I want to be with him. He might hurt me.

Kirishima🏳️‍🌈: okay, here's the deciding factor; did he hurt you. Short answer: no. You broke up with HIM, for something BAKUGOU did. He did nothing. I don't even hate him. So, if you want to go after him, I say go for it!

Mina🌺: but what if he hurts me?

Kirishima🏳️‍🌈: anything worth having is worth the risk. What is he worth to you?

Mina🌺: everything.

   I stopped texting and let her decide. We were both adults and I couldn't rely on her to tell me everything I needed to do and vice versa. Turning off my phone, I plugged it in and started studying. School would start tomorrow which was another obstacle in this week. He would have to find some way to go around that. I didn't have class all day. It started at ten and ended at two thirty, leaving a few hours for lunch and early dinner before school started back up at seven and ended at ten at night. I was taking psychology classes and they had extra night classes that helped with extra credit. So, if I took these classes, I would be a year ahead of everyone else. There weren't a lot of people in the classes but they were open for people to sign up. It was me, two other students and the professor. Lots of people preferred parties over studying. One of the students just did night classes because she had kids and had to be home all day and had her husband stay with the kids. She was sweet. We got grouped together and we all learned about our lives. Her name was Rei and she had four kids and a husband, she didn't talk much about. The other girl was Momo and she was in this class and morning classes as well. She wanted to become a therapist like me. She was good at it too. It just came naturally. She was about the same as me while Rei was in her early thirties. It was a quiet class and I actually enjoyed it more than morning classes.

   My phone dinged, signaling a text and I looked over at it.

Bakugou: which night class are you in?

Kirishima: how did you know I was in night classes?

Bakugou: Mina told Sero, Sero told me.  Anyways, is it eight to eleven of seven to ten?

Kirishima: and why do you want to know?

Bakugou: Jesus Christ I thought maybe you would enjoy it but never mind. Just forget it.

Kirishima: it's seven to ten. Why?

Bakugou: how do you sign up?

Kirishima: you didn't answer my question.

Bakugou: you didn't answer mine either.

Kirishima: I asked first. Answer or I leave you on read.

Bakugou: fine. I thought maybe, on Monday, I would start classes with you and then, I don't know, we could study together. I was a junior in psychology before I dropped out when my parents died. I want to ease back into things. I didn't know if you could sign up in the middle of the year.

Kirishima: you can. If you want to be in tomorrow, go to the campus and ask for night classes from seven to ten in psychology. You have to fill out an application and they decide if you can be in or not. The class has three people. I'm sure you could make it!

Bakugou: Thanks.

   I turned my phone off again and went back to studying. It was sweet that he wanted to get back into college. I didn't know he majored in psychology but then again, we never talked about college that much. I knew he dropped out though. It would be nice to have him in class. I wondered if he would cause trouble or be relaxed. I shook off my thoughts and went back to my text books. I had picked up some other classes as well, like algebra and literature but I didn't have those classes at night or everyday. It was Wednesday algebra and Friday literature. They were minor classes.

   After a few hours of studying, I closed my textbooks and put them on my shelves. Taking a quick shower, I got ready for bed. Now that I was back in school, I had to get back on schedule. One of the things I did enjoy about college was the times of classes. I didn't have to get up super early and the teacher were often more late than the students. Laying down in bed, I scrolled through my phone checking Instagram and twitter before clearing my apps and going to messenger. Clicking on a familiar name, I typed out a simple message, hitting send and plugging in my phone before I drifted off to sleep.

Kirishima: Current status: just friends
