~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nervous jitters had me rushing through my morning routine. Today was the very first day of high school and my emotions were a wreck. I was going to freaking Yuei! The excitement of following my dreams was overwhelming, but so was the anxiety of what I would have to do to actually achieve that dream.

Nothing good comes without hard work and sacrifice. I just had no idea what I would have to sacrifice and I was never big on making new friends. That's what made me the most nervous, the social interactions.

Taking a deep breath, I focus on my hair, remembering that I already know two people in my class. Well, three, if you count the teacher. I'll have to make sure I don't turn into a fan girl or something equally embarrassing!

I raced down the stairs and fidgeted nervously when Hana and Sora turned to look at me.

"The uniform looks very nice on you, Ren." Hana rushed over and hugged me, then led me to the table for breakfast. Sora watched as I ate, asking me small questions to help me relax.

"Are Shinsou and Bakugo going to walk with you to the campus?" His question was innocent but I knew he was also being protective.

"Yes, they are. The best place for the three of us to meet is at the corner of the game cafe about six blocks from here." He nodded and slid some money my way.

"This is for lunch. I would rather you have cash instead of a card so you can keep up with your weekly spending. I know we've talked about handling money properly and now you'll have to put it in practice without us. You'll do great, kiddo."

I thanked him profusely before mentally doing the math and seeing how much I could spend each day. The Matsun's had always been very open about expenses and how to budget money wisely. I was very grateful to them for trying to teach what my parents obviously never thought of.

It's not like my father ever wanted me to have the knowledge to escape him and mother never had the chance. Running out the door, I bid them farewell, excited to see how the day would play out.

A shock of blond and purple hair were the first things I noticed as I walked up the hill to the cafe. Well, at least their hair is easily recognizable. Purple is hard to miss and they both have the MOST unruly hair. Snickering, I gained their attention, curious as to what Shinsou was showing Bakugo on his phone.

"Fucking finally, squish. You took your sweet ass time." I paused, extremely confused?

"Squish, where the heck did that one come from?" He smirked and leaned into my personal space.

"You make an excellent pillow." Heat engulfed me as I blushed all the way to the roots of my hair.

Shinsou burst out laughing and threw an arm around my shoulders. "I have to agree with him, short stuff. Your lap is quite comfortable."

Before I could melt into a puddle of absolute mortification, Shinsou shoved his phone under my nose. Pushing it back slightly, I instantly started cooing over the adorable box of kittens, missing the smirk Shinsou shot Bakugo.

"Oi, no way in hell we're going to be late for the first day. Let's get a move on, idiots." He grabbed my hand and yanked me forward.

Laughing loudly, I latched onto Shinsou's hand and dragged him along with me.
