I'm right outside the UA gates when I get a text from Hisui telling me that he's in a different exam hall and that he's already left. Now having to enter the school alone, I take a deep breath and charge in before I can have any regrets.

I make my way through the gates and take my time to observe the students around me. Most of them seem nervous while some are super confident, I'm not sure which group I fit into from those two. I'm confident in the written portion, I've always been a top student, it's not like there's ever anything to do but to study when you have no friends, that's changed recently though. Hisui assured me that I would do great in the physical portion of the test but it's not suited for quirks like mine and I'm not sure 10 months of training made that much of a difference.

I make my way to the registration table near the entrance of the school. I give them my name and some other details and they proceed to give me a number. They tell me to just follow the signs to get to the exam halls so greeting them goodbye, I leave.

I continue walking, following the signs plastered across the school. Doubts still swirl around my head but I try my best to get rid of them. Hisui has always told me that the first step to succeeding is to believe you can do it, I still don't think believing in myself will change anything but I have to atleast try.

Stopping at two double doors there's a sign that says group A exam hall. Closing my eyes I take a long deep breath as I try to calm my nerves. This is it, the moment that decides my future, as if almost on que my phone vibrates. Taking it out of my pocket I see a 'good luck :)' from Hisui and I smile.

I'm not surprised that he was able to calm my nerves down at the exact moment that it mattered. Smiling I make my way to go through the door when I suddenly feel someone barge past me, shouldering me in the process. I look to see who it was and they turn to me, with a scowl on their face, their red eyes peircing and intimidating. They let out an aggressive 'sorry' which looked as if it pained them physically. 

Still glaring at me he turns to face the door before taking a deep breath. He calms down, his face now scowl free and turns to me once more to apologise once again. Surprised I blurt out some reply, shocked at the switch of character. The guy doesn't care though, stuffing his hands into his pockets he walks off through the door and into the exam hall.

I'm a little confused but decide to ignore whatever the hell just happened. I follow after the blond boy into the exam hall and look for my assigned seat. Finding it is easy, I slip into my seat, careful as to not bother the girl frantically praying beside me.

Once everyone is sat down the test papers are handed out. On the projection at the front of the room it states the rules and amount of time for the written exam and everyone gets started.

The written exam is simple enough for me, I spend a lot of my time studying, except for when I'm with Hisui of course but that was starting to get less often, ever since we finished cleaning the beach. Maybe I could find another beach for us to clean.

Soon enough the lights dim a little and on stage is non other than Present Mic. He shouts to get everyone's attention and much to his dismay no one seems to have much of a reaction. He starts to explain the rules but I can barely hear anything behind the overwhelming volume of my heart beating in my chest. Hisui had assured me that everything would be fine, and I believe in Hisui's words but I can't help but still feel anxious and doubt myself. Thankfully hand outs where given out so I try to focus on the instructions on that instead of Present Mic's words. I'm pretty sure I hear a student asking a question about the handouts but I don't pay much attention to that. 

Soon enough everyone is getting up so I do the same. I go to get changed and up seeing that same blond boy on my way. The boy seems so confident compared to me, even though he seems to have a bad personality I still envy him. Focusing back on my task I go to get changed and meet in the zone I was told to go to.

I look around, everyone seems so strong and out of my league, there was no way I was going to pass. I laugh a little, if Hisui were to hear me say that he would be furious. A little determined now I try my best to get rid of all negative thoughts. Hisui believes in me, and I believe in him, so in a way I do actually believe in myself. Everything will be alright I tell myself as all the participants start running through the start line. And just like I said everything went great.

"Hey Hisui, over here!" I shout as I wave Hisui over. He sits down, a smile on his face.

"Whats up, did you get the letter from UA yet?" He asks.

"Yeah I've got it here." I take out the letter from my bag and together we watch as I open it.

Out of the envelope comes a small disk. I don't know what to do with it but Hisui effortlessly picks it up and switches it on from the little button on the back. Out pops a little hologram of All Might and I'm impressed by the technology UA has access too, looking over to Hisui however it seems like he's annoyed. Confused I ask if he's alright and he just waves of my concern, focusing on the video. I've never seen Hisui like this, I'm a little worried but I decide to focus on what's infront of me.

On the screen All Might congratulates me as the scoreboard of the exam results pop onto the screen. Looking through the list my name is 36th, way lower than I expected but thankfully I got in. All Might explains how there was more than one scoring system and with a total of 10 physical points and 15 hero points he congratulates me once again before the recording ends.

Exhilarated I look up to Hisui who seems just as happy as I am. He congratulates me and tells me how proud he is.

"See, I told you you would get in."

I grin. "Thank you for believing in me."

I open the front door as quietly as I possibly can but it doesn't seem to be quiet enough as my foster mum shouts my name, clearly pissed. I try my best to ignore her, I make my way to the stairs as fast as I can but to my dismay she's standing right infront of them.

She grabs my hair. "Where the fuck have you been, the dishes haven't been cleaned, the floor is filthy and why has none of the laundry been done yet!" She shouts in my ear as she pulls my hair a little.

"I was out with a friend."

"What friend, you've never had any friend before so why the hell should that change now. You've been doing things your not supposed to, haven't you. Did you finally become a villian, it was only a matter of ti-"

"SHUT UP!" I scream at the top of my lungs. It's not until I've let it all out that I realise the grave mistake I had just made.

"Are you trying to brainwash me." She says, an intense glare plastered on her face. "You insolent child, are you trying to brainwash me!" She yells as she flings me across the room by my hair. It hurts but I don't react, that would only make things worse.

"I, out of the goodness of my heart took in a fucking child like you and this is how you repay me! Your sister is upstairs balling her eyes out while you are here trying to make me do your filthy bidding!"

"Why is she crying?" I ask, trying to change the subject.

"Why? Why do you think, she didn't get into any high schools she picked. A brilliant girl like that rejected from all the high schools, She works so hard everyday and what the fuck do you do? Go out and do who knows what behind my back! I will not allow you to ruin me and your fathers name, if you insist on becoming the stupid villian that you are then tell me so I can take you back to the foster home right this instant!"

"I already said I was out with a friend."

"Are you talking back!" She kicks me in the stomach. "Why are you lying to me? Tell me the truth."

"I am telling the truth, I was with my friend." I tell her a little more desperate now, having learnt from my past mistakes this was about the time my foster mom would shove him in a closet and muzzle me.

"You still insist on lying, huh."

"I'm not lying, i promise I'm telling the truth." I plead, tears now falling down my face. "I have proof, I've got his phone number. I went so we could open our letters from UA together."

"UA? Why would UA send you a letter. You didn't take the exam."

"Yes I did. I even told you that I was taking the exam. I got in, I've even got the letter right here." I hold the letter out to her, my hands shaking. She snatches it out of my hand, pure fury on her face.

"Which course did you sign up for?"

"Gen ed and the hero course."

"So you got into UA's general education course while my daughter is upstairs yet to have a school to go to?"

"No I got into the hero cour-" She kicks me before I can even finish the sentence.

"YOU STILL INSIST ON LYING YOU LITTLE SHIT!" She pulls me up by my hair and drags me up the stairs in one swift movement. I'm to terrified to speak, it takes all my courage just to bite her and scram.

Grabbing the letter and my phone which had fell on the floor, I run out of the house. I keep on running, not sure where to, it isn't until my legs buckle over and I collapse that I stop to take a moment to breathe and calm down. Once calm I get up and sit in an alleyway instead so I'm out of sight. I take out my phone and scroll through my very little contacts list until I get to Hisui's, I call him but just as soon as it starts ringing he hangs up. Distressed I call again, a slight wheeze escaping my mouth as I learn that Hisui switched off his phone.

He looked sad while we were meeting but I don't understand why he's ignoring me. A fresh wave of tears stream down my face as I bury my head in my knees. Hisui wherever you are please answer me, I need you more than ever right now. No matter how hard I cry though the outcome is still the same, Hisui's phone is switched off and he even blocked me.

Was everything a lie, did he actually hate me, did he think I was a villian like a everyone else did. Was he just playing with me this whole time, I continue to sob, more tears stream out every time I try to slow them down. 

"Please Hisui. Even if you never talk to me again, even if its just this once. Just please pick up the phone." I beg to no one in particular, I'm too overwhelmed right now to do anything other than hope for him to answer. I should have known that there isn't anything hoping could possibly do for me.

I don't know how long I've been sitting in this alleyway but it's starting to get late which means staying here will start to get dangerous. I couldn't possibly go back to the house though, I'd be in for a world of pain. I sigh, I doubt my foster parents would pay for my uniform and everything else so I'd have to find a way to get enough money in two months, I sigh again. First I'd probably need a new house cause there's no way I'm going back there.

While lamenting I hear a familiar gruff voice, curious I get up to look for where it's coming from. Disappointed I see that its just the aggressive blond boy from the entrance exam, he seems to be talking to someone else even though he's alone. I dismiss it as him just being on the phone but it's wierd that he's turning as if to look at someone talking.

I decide to eavesdrop a bit but he isn't really saying anything significant. He just seems to be fighting with someone named Deku. Bored now I decide to just turn away but before I can even leave the blond boy turns to me.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asks as if forced to talk to me. "Are you okay?"

Even though I'm a little confused I answer anyway. "Don't you remember me?"

"Why would I remember you when I don't even know you. Or are you just that irrelevant." He grunts then apologies as if forced to once again.

"I was at the entrance exam."

"Oh no wonder I don't remember you, everyone there were a bunch of weak extr- Damnit Deku can you stop!" He turns behind him shouting at someone but like usual no one is there.

"Who are you talking too?"

"What does it look like, this idiot right here." He points behind him. He obviously thinks someone is there so I stop questioning it. "Anyway what do you want. Why are you here?"

I stay silent for a while considering if I should tell him, he seems to get increasingly angry the more I make him wait but he doesn't say anything, whatever ghost that's following him sure is doing wonders to his personality. "I have no where to go." I eventually tell him.

"What, you ran away from home or somethin'?" I nod, still a little hesitant. The guy seems to sigh as if regretting even getting involved with me before he signals for me to follow him. Curiosity gets the best of me once again and I follow without question.

He turns to me. "Did you get in?"

"Huh?"

"Did you get into UA?" I nod, he seems to accept that answer easily. He continues to walk and I follow in silence, it doesn't seem to be a problem though since he doesn't bother starting another conversation with me.

We walk into a neighbourhood, I have no idea where I am any more and I'm starting to think it was a bad idea to follow him but I've got no excuse for me to suddenly just leave. I sigh, we're in a neighbourhood so if something bad where to happen someone is bound to help me.

"Wait here." The blond stops and makes sure to catch my attention before waking into a building leaving me standing out in the open.

Confused I wait for him anyway, I might as well since I've got nowhere to go. Not that long after he leaves he's returned along with some shouting directed at, I'm assuming, his mother. He walks out of the house and surprisingly he holds out a stack of money.

"Take it." He says.

"That's a lot though." I look at the money in his hands. We don't even know each other so why is he giving it to me.

"If you have nowhere to go then that's not nearly enough. The old hag..." He looks over to his side as if talking to someone. "-ny mother is all for helping people and all that shit so she doesn't mind. Just hurry up and take it." He snaps.

Cautiously, I take the money from his hand, expecting this to be some kind of dream. As soon as the money is out of his hands the blond boy huffs as he makes his way back into his house.

"Wait." I tell him. "What's your name."

He looks at me unimpressed. "Katsuki Bakugo."

"I'm Hitoshi Shinso. Thank you."

He stares blankly at me for a second before making his way back into his house. "See you at UA", is all he says before he's complete gone and has shut the door.

I stand up hugging the money to my chest. Surprisingly he gave me quite a lot and it would probably be enough to pay for the school. Now all I need to do is earn enough money for the uniform as well. That would be difficult but I'm in a good position right now. I smile before walking away to wherever my legs would take me.
