Ugh, people.

A knock on my bedroom door. I don't want to get up, but I assume I have to.

There stands Izuku. I was one of the nice kids to him when we were younger. Since he was always around Katsuki, I naturally befriended him. He never told me about his twin sister until recently, I never went to his house. I saw her around sometimes but Itsuki didn't exist to me until this year.

"Aishi! Uh, I wanted to see if you'd want to go to the mall. Some classmates invited us for- uh- bonding?" He squeaks.

"Uh, sure I guess." I say. I don't really want to talk with our classmates, but I don't want to be like Katsuki and completely say no either.

But I guess I already set my own doom.

"You're Aishi, right? The one that Bakugo was worried over." Piercings, aka Kasai, asks when I arrive with Izuku. He told me Itsuki was already in some stores.

"Yeah. Blondie's my cousin." I chew my gum as Pink Alien girl looks around to see if anyone else is here.

"Sero and Kirishima said they were coming, but they're late now. Maybe we should just walk around until they get here." Pinky says.

"Bet. We're going to Hot Topic first. Let's go Mina!" Kasai drags Mina. Izuku and I look at each other and follow.

We walk and walk and walk. I hate malls. So many restaurants, expensive items, and people.

"Holy shit, how do you feel about that Mineta kid, Aishi?" Mina asks. "He's always perving. I just want to kick him in the nuts, then again I'm not even sure if he has any."

"I hate that kid. He's shorter than my 5 year old brother and acts like he's going to get someone to date him by looking up girl's skirts." I say, popping my gum afterwards.

We arrive at Hot Topic. Kasai runs in, looking at the piercings and anime merch. I look at some of the sweatshirts they have. Why are they're so expensive? This is bullshit.

"This is so cute! Don't you think so?" Mina asks me, showing a skirt with a galaxy pattern and cat head outlines on it.

"Yeah. You should get it if you want it." I say, then go back to looking through the clothes.

"Oh!" I pick up some fingerless gloves. They're like fishnet gloves. And it's only ¥600.

"Are you buying those? Just be careful with them, I heard they rip easily." Kasai says.

"Oh, they do? I'll be careful then."

"Izu! Stop fanboying over All Might. Where's the others?" I hear Itsuki's voice.

"They're over there!" I think Izuku is pointing to the section Kasai, Mina and I are at.

"Hey!" Tape Dispenser and Rock come towards us with the green haired menace.

"I found these two and had a feeling I knew wheee you guys would be."

"Awesome! Thanks Mido-Chan!"

Mido-Chan?? Is that what they're calling fire bitch now?

Our group has been walking around for a while. We stopped for boba tea, I got a taro milk tea. I didn't want anyone to wonder why I didn't get anything. When I get home I'll probably purge this. I feel disgusting when I eat.

Itsuki is talking to Izuku, Kirishima and Sero are talking to each other, Mina and Kasai are engaged in a conversation.

I don't mind this at all. I twist the strands of the choker and sip my tea. It's pretty good.

"Anyone want some pocky? I have strawberry, matcha, chocolate, cookie and cream..." Kasai looks through her bag.

"I'll take some." Kirishima says, grabbing a chocolate one and eating it.

"Aishi? You want some?"

"No thanks."

"It's good though!" Kasai smiles. Why is she always smiling?

"Nah, I'm not in the mood for it."

This group of people are too nice. Back in middle school I had this group of friends. They would always come to the mall, but if I ate anything they commented on my weight. I was often left out as well. I left them but I guess there words still got to me? I don't really know.

Who really needs them anyways? I have Katsuki and Izuku. And of course Kiro will be here for me.

"Aishi! Come on, let's take a picture." Mina grabs my hand suddenly. I feel my face turn pink. I wasn't expecting that.

We're all squished in a photo booth. I put up a peace sign. I'm wearing my new gloves.

"Smile!"

I smile slightly. Kasai puts her arm on my shoulder.

This wasn't as bad as I though it'd be. Mina and Kasai are very extra. I wonder how Katsuki deals with them annoying him all the time...

"I'm home!" I call, putting down a bag.

Kiro comes barreling into my arms before I can react.

"Hi! Hi! Hiiiii!" He yells.

"Hi Kiro." I hug him and ruffle his hair. "I got something for you."

His eyes light up. I pull out a stuffed All Might toy.

"Thank you! I love it!" He smiles.

He runs off to show it off to Mom and Dad. He's a cutie.

I go to my room and get my sewing kit out. I put on my Spotify playlist, girl in red playing first.

"Jesus Christ, I had to copy a flying quirk to get up here."

I quickly turn around. Neito fucking Monoma.

"Why are you sitting in my window?" I ask.

"Why aren't you answering my texts?" He asks.

I look at my phone. O h.

"I was at the mall, I didn't know you texted me."

He pretends to hold his chest in pain. "You went to the mall without me? How dare you Aishi!"

I roll my eyes. "My classmates invited me."

He gasps like an overdramatic bitch. "The antisocial cunt is socializing?"

I throw a pencil at him, which misses.

"So, why else are you here?"

"...sleepover?"

I sigh. "Bet. Go microwave some popcorn, I'll grab the blankets. What movie do you want to watch?"

"I was thinking of binging The Umbrella Academy again."

"So you can fawn over Klaus?"

"Yep!"
