Freak: Part 8 (Tokoyami)
I walked all the way to the nurse's wing to get checked up on, and sat down on a bed as Recovery Girl checked my back.
"Nothing seems to be broken, you'll probably just be sore for a while." She told me and kissed my forehead.
"Thank you." I told her. Recovery Girl had been the only one in the school, besides Shoji, to know about my extra arms. Due to me needing to do a physical before joining the school. I had shared why I preferred not to say anything, and she respected my choice to keep it a secret.
"I had hoped that when you got to reveal your secret, it would have been on your terms." She told me, and handed me a different jacket. It was more like Shoji's jacket, but multiple arm holes instead of just one big hole. I took it and put it on.
"If it had been on my terms, it wouldn't have gotten out at all." I said and walked out of the room. I walked all the way to my classes section the whole way, people were staring at me in the walk ways. I reached up and let my hair down and cover my face, even though there was no reason to do it any more. There wasn't much left to hide.
I stepped down into my classes section and I could sense everyone turned to look at me. But I didn't look at anyone as I walked all the way down and sat in a seat in the very corner, all by myself.
"You should apologize." I heard Kirishima say quietly. I don't know who he was talking to, until someone answered.
"Why should I apologize to that nasty freak?" Bakugo asked, and something in the back of my mind snapped. I whipped my head around and looked at him, only to see Kirishima flinch while he was already looking at me.
When Bakugo turned to see what Kirishima flinched at, he too flinched as I was directly in front of him already.
"Maybe you should apologize, because you're the reason that any of this happened." I told him, and grabbed his jacket with all of my hands, and lifted him out of his seat. "All because you had to open your goddamn mouth and be a sarcastic asshole, I got put in that arena. Because of your loudmouth, I stripped for the entire world to see and reveal that I've been hiding the fact that I have eight arms. And because you couldn't keep your mouth shut for five seconds, to begin with, I had to come save your ass! So don't you dare sit here and call me a nasty freak!"
"Y/n." Someone behind me said.
"What?" I demanded and turned to see Tokoyami standing off the side. When I yelled at him, he flinched. And I finally realized that I had become extremely aggressive. I turned back to Bakugo and got right in his face.
"If you talk to me like that again I will not hesitate to kick your ass!" I told him. "Do I make myself clear?"
"Yeah, whatever!" He said, and I shoved him back into his seat. I walked over to the other entrance into our section and walked down the path, not really caring where I went.

I ended up outside, hiding up in a tree. Besides a janitor's closet, this was the darkest place I could find. I used some of my webbings to make a hammock between two branches and was attempting not to fall asleep.
"Mind if I join you?" Someone said, and I turned my head to see Tokoyami climbing up the tree. I sat up and scooted over so he could sit next to me in my hammock.
He didn't look at me, but Dark Shadow crawled into my lap and I hugged it with all of my arms.
"Why did you never tell us?" Tokoyami asked quietly, but he still didn't look at me. I looked away, while I stroked Dark Shadow's head.
"It's not something I'm proud of, hiding who I really am." I told him. "But my whole life, I've been treated like I'm disgusting. All because I was born more spider than human. My own mother's ashamed of the way I turned out. So I've always tried hiding them. But now instead of just the school knowing, it's the whole city."
"Plus whoever else in the world was watching." Tokoyami pointed out and I sighed. "You're not disgusting. I think you're rather adorable." I flung my head to look at him, and through the feathers, I could tell he was a bit shy at telling me.
"You do?" I asked him. He nodded, and finally looked at me before panicking.
"Why are you crying?" He asked me, and he placed his hand on my cheek before wiping away a few tears that hadn't soaked into my mask yet. I lifted my hands and wiped at my tears.
"Nobody's ever said something like that to me." I said and even with all my arms free, I struggled to keep up with the amount of tears coming out of my eyes.
"Well extra arms or eyes, you're pretty cute." Someone said and I looked down at the voice to see Tsuyu, Uraraka, Shoji, and Deku.
I smiled and jumped down from the tree. Landing on my feet in front of them. Uraraka instantly had her arms around my neck, giving me a great big hug.
"This just means you can give better hugs." Uraraka said, and I couldn't help but laugh before hugging her back. I lifted all of my arms and the girls hugged onto me, and Uraraka dragged Deku into the hug. Shoji came over to join with his giant arms too.
Tokoyami laughed at us as he was climbing out of the tree before I shot my webbing at him and dragged him into the hug as well.
Dark Shadow ripped me away from the hug and held me in the air, in a hug of its own. Growling at the others, even Tokoyami.
"Dark Shadow, she's not yours." Tokoyami said, and I couldn't help but laugh as Dark Shadow only held me tighter.
"Attention!" Mr. Mic called out through the loud system. "The next round will begin soon!" He then called out the next student that was going to be fighting, and we made our way back inside.
We made it back to our section just as the next student walked out of the tunnel the same as I did. Getting ready to fight in the middle of the ring.
"Ready?" Midnight called out. "Fight!" She then hit the button on her remote, and now it was working again. The cage's walls dropped and kicked up dust, as the force field went up. But the spider didn't race out as it did before.
The dust cleared only to show off that the spider hadn't moved.
"Did you kill it?" Deku asked as we all watched, waiting to see what it would do. But it did nothing.
Although it wasn't dead as it tightened itself into a ball, and hid under its own legs.
The student that was in the arena used their quirk to poke at the spider from a distance. But the spider kicked at the quirk before curling back into a ball.
"It looks like this herding game might be over, due to the fact that the creature is too afraid to leave the cage." Mr. Mic announced and my entire class looked at me. I faced all of them, and they all stared at me in either amazement or horror.
I laughed lightly to myself and smiled. Even though the mask on my face covered it.
"I told you I was scary" I told Tokoyami, and we all started laughing really hard.
