The Punishment

Kirishima POV
My stupid parents are making me try out for UA. It's Saturday morning. I wake up at 5:00am because of my father. I put on a hoodie and some sweatpants and stay in my room until my father starts to bother me. I'm not even gonna try to get in. I'm never gonna be a hero and nobody wants me there besides my stupid parents. My dad walks in right after I get changed. He grabs my wrist and drags me to the backyard.

Once we get out there he immediately starts to punch me before I can activate my stupid quirk. "That's what you get for not using your quirk!" He yelled. "I hate my quirk though." I said under my breath. "What did you say?" He asked angrily. "You don't need to know! I've already told you I hate my damn quirk. Why couldn't I have been born differently?" I said. I struggled to hold back tears, but I didn't want to cry in front of him. "Hero's don't cry, Eijirou!" He shouted only to make me cry more. "Well I'll never be a hero. I'm not good enough to be a hero. I want to actually enjoy my life for once instead of doing this stupid hero crap!" I ran inside and locked the door.

"Eijirou, let your father inside right now!" My mom yelled. "Give me a reason that I should." I talked back to her. She grabbed me and threw me to the ground. "Get the hell up! You're gonna be late to the entrance exam!" She yelled. I got up and unlocked the door. My dad was pissed. He grabbed me and punched my eye. He then went outside and threw me in the backseat of his car. He started driving to UA. I went to the area of the test. "You better get in Eijirou!" My dad shouted.

The first test was a written test. This short green haired boy with freckles comes up to me. "Aren't you the son of two pro hero?" He asked. "Why does it matter?" I asked. "Well um I want to know everything about heros." He said shyly. "Why do you have a black eye?" He asked. "I got it while training." I said. "Oh. Well um, what's your quirk?" 'Damn, this kid wants to know everything.' "It doesn't matter. All my life people have made fun of me for it, and you probably will too! And we won't see each other again because I won't get into UA!" I yelled speed walking away. Then, we had physical tests.

After the tests I got into my dad's car. "How was it?" He asked. "Bad. But don't ask why." I said quietly. "Can we get some sorta food, I'm starving." I asked. "No, because you did bad on your training this morning." He replied. He then reached back there and slapped my face. I regret talking to people a lot. Nobody ever listens to what I say. I didn't say anything. My dad slapped me again. He's probably wants a different son. "Say something, Eijirou!" He said. "Okay, but you hate when I say my opinion." I said. "Well your opinion isn't good enough." "Thanks for the feedback dad." I said sarcastically. It seemed he had enough with me so he locked me in my room when we got home.

I went on my phone. Mina video called me. "How was the test?" She asked. "I did horrible." I said. "Do you wanna hang out at my house tonight?" She asked. "No, because of training." I said. "Can't you take a break at least once?" She asked. "Fine." I said and hung up. My hand was on my eye. I took it off. I found a piece of cloth and wrapped it around my eye. I opened my window and snuck out. I walked to Mina's house.

I ring her doorbell. The pink girl answered. "Hi Kiri!" "Hi Mina." "Come in! My mom made us lunch!" She said excitedly. "I can't eat." I said. "Why?" She asked. "Because I did a bad job training." I said. "What happened to your eye?" She asked. "I did a bad job training." "Come in my room." She said grabbing my wrist. She closed the door. "What do you mean you did a bad job on training?" She asked. "My father." I mumbled. "What about your father?" She asked concerned. "My father is starving me and hurting me and so is my mom. They don't know I'm here right now." I said. I had never told anyone about my family. She walked out of the room. Of course me being honest led to someone hating me. Why do I even bother trying to be friends with someone. She came back in with a grilled cheese sandwich. "Eat this." (Help I keep thinking of all might now.) "No thanks." I replied, I'll get in trouble." "Please Kirishima!" She begged. I was starving but whenever I do something I get in trouble. Everything became blurry. Then, apparently I had passed out.

I woke up in my dad's car. "Eijirou! Why did you disobey me! I also saw a grilled cheese right next to you and the pink girl was crying. Why are you a trouble child?" He asked. I wanted to be the trouble child. I wanted to get attention that I don't even deserve. "Because you can't control me " I said. "Eijirou I am your father! You should do as I say and you won't get punished. Now you can't eat for a week." 'Great.' I thought. 'I haven't eaten in two weeks and humans can only survive for three. That proves that he doesn't care about me.'

At home I was locked in my room once again. I was in and out of consciousness for the next week and of course no one cared. My dad kept getting mad and hitting me. Finally a week had passed. I went to the pantry and got goldfish. My whole body was covered with bruises. As I was eating I opened my laptop. I check my email. I saw something I never wanted to see in my entire life.

Eijirou Kirishima, congratulations on getting into the best hero school in Japan, UA High.

How did I get in? I didn't use my quirk. This has to be a mistake.
