  I walked home and unlocked the door on the side of the garage. Sliding in I shut the door and turned off the alarm system. Of course mother wasn't home as she stayed after high school hours sometimes. It was 5:09 pm when I put your stuff down. I looked around the house taking in the woods in the back yard from the window. I miss home. I lived in America most of my life. Even when we moved when I was 6-9 to Dubai we came back.

   It wasn't much easier than it was in the US. Yes I could speak Russian and Arabic mildly. And yes I still play my instruments,sports,and other things here. But it was different. I felt so out of place in a country I never really bonded with. I let out our three dogs in the fenced back yard. Cody is a tea cup yorkie,Hailey is a mount old German Shepard,and Halo is a king German Shepard. I let them back in and went up stairs.

   I walked into my room and put my book bag down. I had a loft bed that was white. It looked like a house. I planned on making some improvements to in later years. I walked under it to my desk and work on my home work. In the US I as a AC student,had STEM class, and was in the Gifted program.(AC means Advanced by two grade levels,STEM is science,social studies,engineer,and math class, and Gifted is just when your hyper active) I sighed as I struggled to translate the Japanese in my head. I was a fluent speak now and could read fine. But I do miss English.

   The 9th grade wasn't hard,just stressful. I had piano and tuba to practice constantly. I also need to practice lacrosse. Plus this hard school work!!! I should stop complaint but it's quiet hard to not complain. The dogs were all laying in the middle of the room on my rug. I opened my lap top and texted my friends in America.

Me:Hey guys
Marco:hey Kait
Tormorris:hi
Novi:Whats good
Gleen:hello there....
Xavier:General Kenobi
Me: I regret making this group chat

We all talked a little bit. I had three group chats to dived up my friends. I only had three female friends though as I didn't get along well with many of them I middle school. It was weird to read my friends talking about high school. I had to stay one more year in middle school basically as 8th grade here in Japan was Middle school to. I closed my blinds and turned on my lamp and fairy lights around the room.

7:00 pm. Mom should be home any minute. I changed into my pjs and walked down stairs. I turned on the kitchen light and pulled out the pot and started boiling water. The least I could do is start cooking dinner more often. Moving here was difficult,and my mother was always trying new things. So I attempt to ease up her work load.

I hear the garage open as the dogs begin whining knowing mom was home now. They all paced at the door. I rolled my eyes and finished up making pasta for dinner. "Hey baby cakes! How was school?" She asked as she set bags down at the bar. "Good,nothing unusual. Oh,this boy is suppose to be transferred to our school for a day or so for tomorrow but that's it." I started making our plates. My mom sat at the table.

"Wow,look at you actually helping out for once." She said with a smile. I didn't say anything and began to eat. Those words cut deep into heart. My mom has been married three times. Everything would be perfectly fine before it went down hill. A long few months of disagreement simply let to divorce. It never bother me,which people say isn't normal. One divorce at before I was born,one at 7,at 12. But the last one did something cruel. His quirk was Manipulation. He could manipulate a person so until they weren't them selfs.

My mom was loving but each divorce seemed to leave her a little crueler. And she didn't even know it. If I said anything I'd be yelled and and constantly emotionally beaten. So I kept my mouth shut. It was around 9:00 pm after I was done putting up a fake smile to please my mom and not make her worry and clean the kitchen. Before she went live to sell her jewelry she had to ask the question we've both been avoiding.

"So,has your quirk showed up at all?" She asked gently. I hissed at the question in my mind. "Uh,no.." I said quietly. "Looked into any university's or anything?" She asked while grabbing the pieces of jewelry or live. I want to bark how I had many high schools in the US who asked for me to apply. For god sakes Im 14 but about to go to school with 15/16 year olds. "Uh yeah. I have a few I've applied to. UA, Vern Hill, and this one organization called UNSC reached out to me."

"Hum.." was all she said. "Well I have to go to bed." I said quickly. I waked over after turning off the kitchen lights and check all the doors were locked. I gave her a hug and a kiss before she went live. As I closed my door I could hear the faint "1970-1980s Hits" play quietly in the back ground. I charged my phone as I climbed up to my bed. Eniji Todoroki was 32 now. I laughed at the thought. Mother had a recording of many of the current hero's fight at the Sports festival. I lived watching it,no matter what I'll become a hero to.

  I drifted off to sleep as tomorrow was a school day.
