Shinso Hitoshi
——————

I slowly entered the classroom, the same thing every day. Every day, I wished I wouldn't wake up from my sleep. The voices I heard as I walked into the classroom instantly ruined my mood. I looked to the side and saw three of my classmates. They were standing in front of the desk of a boy I found pretty likable, Shinsou. His hair had a beautiful indigo/purple tone, and I somehow liked the way he interacted with others. But the others didn't really like him, and he knew that or so I thought. They were only polite because they didn't want him to "take advantage of or control them."

"But Shinsou, don't even think about controlling us," the girl in front of him laughed nervously. He looked like he wanted to reply but settled for a nervous smile. These people had been getting on my nerves for a while, but today I'd had enough. I exhaled loudly and slowly walked forward.

"You know, I don't really care what my classmates do, but you three are seriously annoying," I muttered, pointing at them with my finger. "If Shinsou really had bad intentions, he would have already taken advantage of it." I exhaled and placed my hand on my forehead. "Seriously, stop sucking up to him. It's obvious to everyone that you don't like him you're just scared of him."

The girl standing next to the desk glared at me. "How about you, you depressed chick, sit back down and mind your own business?"

Sighing, I slowly looked at her. "Listen, Shinsou seems like a really good guy, and it pisses me off that you're treating him this way." The three of them started laughing and gave me a look.

"Are you in love with him?" one of the boys asked.

"No, I'm just being reasonable. Why are you sucking up to him? Behind his back, you're always murmuring that he'll probably become a villain, just because you can't recognize that he has an amazing hero quirk!"

The girl stared at me in shock. "You've lost your mind!"

The three of them walked past me and out the door. I exhaled and sighed. "Now I can finally get some sleep." Slowly, I turned around and was about to head back to my seat when I felt a hand on my arm. I followed it and met Shinsou's eyes directly.

"Thank you. You're right, they don't really like me... no one does."

I smiled warmly. "But I do!"

He looked at me, confused.

"Let's grab something to eat together later. I'm still tired," I yawned and walked back to my seat with a smile. As I passed by him, I noticed the small smile forming on his lips.

I'm usually a quiet person and don't like to get involved in other people's business. But still, it really bothered me that such a nice guy was treated so poorly just because of his quirk. And who knows? Maybe we'll become friends soon.
