The Lonely and The Brave

Chapter 15 - "Hello." -

Monday Morning

'Please tell me whatever Mathew sent me is coming today...' Kira thought as she ate a couple bites of a bagel. She felt uneasy ever since she had received Mathew's voicemail, and even just heading to SFIT with her friends couldn't calm her. She kept what Mathew had said only to herself, so no one had any idea she was so nervous.

'I'm falling back into my old habits...' She thought, tugging on her backpack straps.

"Kira?" Hiro's voice snapped her out of her thoughts as he placed his hand on her shoulder, "Are you okay?"

"Hm?" She looked up at him, "yeah, just... Thinking..."

"About?"

"...Elizabeth..."

It wasn't a complete lie, Mathew did say that whatever he was giving her was from her sister. He kissed her forehead, making her cheeks flush pink. He knew it always made her mood go up.

"Aww~" Honey squealed, taking a picture of them, "You two are seriously too cute!"

"Mhm," Kira rolled her eyes slightly at the blonde, "You say this every time we do anything."

"It's only the truth..."

Hiro chuckled softly, "Okay, we've established this many times, Honey..."

"It is getting a bit annoying," GoGo added, blowing a bubble.

"Okay okay, I'm sorry," Honey laughed.

Kira reached into her backpack, pulled out her headphones and plugged them into her phone, playing some music. She was silent for the rest of the walk until they got to the front doors.

"I'm off to my first class," She stated, muting the volume,

"Me too," Wasabi replied. They were taking the same class.

"Let's hurry. I don't want to deal with the 'why are you late?' Lecture again."

Wasabi laughed, "Alright."

"See you after class, Kira," Hiro said, and gave her a quick kiss.

"See you later, Hamada," She grinned, and she and Wasabi walked to their class.

"You're literally like a love struck puppy," GoGo said as the rest of them headed towards their labs, "Or however the saying goes. Can't go a day without talking to Kira."

Hiro's face flushed red, "Sorry that I like spending time with my girlfriend..." He mumbled.

Honey giggled at him as Fred went to get his mascot suit in order to prevent himself from bursting into laughter.

Kira let out a gentle sigh as she sat down in her seat, taking out everything she had for the class.

"Something wrong, Kira?" Wasabi asked, sitting down next to her.

"I guess..." she opened her notes, "It's nothing... Just a couple of stuff that's been bugging me..."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Nah, it'll go away eventually..."

The professor walked in shortly after and class began. However, Kira wasn't really listening, she kept staring out the window, wondering what her sister would give her.

"Ms. Scarlet, are you paying attention?" During the time she had been daydreaming, the professor had been giving a lecture and noticed she wasn't paying attention, so he walked over to her.

"Ms. Scarlet," he repeated, louder this time. That got her attention, and she looked up to see her professor standing next to her.

"Oh, um..."
