"Ugh, I feel gross." I stood in front of a half-cracked mirror, twirling around in my new school uniform. "What's gross about it! I go around in these all the time! They're cute!" Toga protested. "Yes, Toga pulls it off! You'll grow to love it!" Twice said, moving from side to side.

"Remember what your objective is. You're not just there to live out your youth." Spinner's voice erupted throughout the room. He leaned against the wall fiddling with his knives.

"You're so stuck up, Spinner. I know what I'm doing." I scoffed and checked myself out in the mirror. "I guess part of me missed being a normal high schooler," I mumbled.

"Spinner right. You shouldn't let yourself be fooled by their preaching. Remember, they're nothing but fake hero's. Many are in that course for money or fame. They hold no real will." Shigaraki said as he exited the room next door.

I felt my heart twist a tiny bit. "Yes, of course. I'm there to bring down the people who tormented us for years."

I don't know who I'm fooling—them or myself.

"Slot machine! You're leaving our beautiful nest already!" Dabi pretended to cry. "You really suck," I mumbled.

"Don't be so mean to the person who gave you a haven, friends, and people who understand you. Understand all your twisted desires." He smirked.

Twisted desires. They aren't so bad. I just want someone to understand.

I felt the rage bubbling inside me again.

I saw Dabi smirking while he glanced over to Shigaraki. He mouthed something to him, but I couldn't see what he said exactly.

"You're ready," Shigaraki mumbled.

The next morning the League walked with me halfway. "We'd love to walk you all the way up, but! We are wanted criminals! Any closer, and they'll tear us apart!" Twice formed tears in his eyes. "Compress look! We're sending our daughter to school. Don't leave us! But leave to get information!" Twice was as mixed up as ever.

"Don't call her our daughter, you creep." Compress fixed his mask a bit. "You will do splendidly. A true performer can tell you hold so much potential." He tipped his hat to me.

"Alright, bye-bye. Stay safe getting back. I'll get my job done quickly. I really don't want to be there."

I walked on ahead, still feeling their gazes from behind. By the time I chose to look back, they were gone. A tiny part of me ached. They disappeared so quickly.

I was really alone before Dabi found me. He really did find me people who understood how I felt.

But how could they understand all the feelings inside me? I don't even know what half of them are.

It's too late to think about things differently now. I'm here for the glory of the people I call my friends. This is for them. I'll do this and do it like I'm saying thank you to them.

I finally reached the school and anxiety-riddled my body.

I hate thinking about my school times. They make my head throb. I can only remember awful times when at school. That's why I left. Now that I'm back, it's bringing all these awful memories back.

Someone bumped into me and interrupted my thoughts.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! I was running because I didn't want to be late for class. Otherwise, my class rep will be very upset-"

This boy continued rambling for some time.

"Oh. Are you alright?" He leaned in a bit closer to me. "Yo-You're uhm crying?" He reached into his backpack and pulled out a little tissue pack. "Here." He held them out, but I was still frozen. I hadn't even felt tears rolling down my face. I slowly touched my face and looked at the tears as they stained my fingers.

"Don't worry. It's alright. We all have these days." He reached out and wiped away some tears. I flinched, and he pulled his hand away. He looked concerned, but he smiled sweetly, reaching his hand out to my face again.

"Don't worry." He whispered again.

For some reason, it was comforting me. His eyes, his voice, were all getting to me. When he touched me, it wasn't malicious. It was tender and filled with care.

"I'm Izuku Midoriya, by the way. What's your name?"

With those few words, I felt the world stop. The birds that had previously been chirping away made a sudden halt. I could no longer feel the wind moving, but his fluffy hair was still swaying.

This can't be the guy I'm supposed to...

"What's wrong? Is this your first day? You seem extremely nervous? It's just me. No need to be scared."

Because it's, you is why I'm scared.

"I'll take you to the teachers' office." He tugged gently on my shirt, and my legs just followed him.

I regained myself and forced those feelings that I had believed to be long forgotten back into their little corner.

"Thanks, but I can take myself there. I thought you said you'd be late to class? You can leave now. I'm alright. Just first day of school nerves!" I said, putting on my bravest face. I moved past him. A sudden moment of shock plastered on his face.

"Oh all-alright! Well, see you around!" His demeanor changed, and he hopped along to class.

I had to admit I felt a bit rude shooing him away like that, but I'm not here to make friends. I already have friends. They're amazing and funny, and they understand me. They taught me how to release this anger seeping out of me. I owe them my life.

I owe Midoriya nothing.
