Denki POV

I lazily sit up. This is my second day being forced to stay home. (Foreshadowing because y'all gave me a good idea a couple chapters ago) Well not really home, more like a house that I am being held captive in because the usually place I stay at is too expensive for me right now. And even if I had the money to go back I doubt my teachers would let me.

"Come on Kaminari-tan! Play with me!" Shinso's little sister Eri begs me.

A/N- Read underlined part.

I do research a lot for my books because I care a lot about accuracy and making it as realistic as possible for my readers (aka YOU). I just wanted to point that out but now you can go back to the story.

She wasn't always this friendly with me. She was really afraid of me when we first met at the school festival but since I started to come around a little more after school for some help sessions she had grown use to me.

"Only if I can be a good guy this time." A pout comes on to her lips as she pauses shoving the dolls she wanted me to play with, aka the dolls she didn't like, into my hands.

"B-But! Who will be the bad guy!?"

I sigh knowing that I had to play the bad guy for what felt like the a hundredth time.

"Fi-"

Suddenly my phone started ringing cutting off my response. I hold up a finger as I quickly pick up the call labeled 'Unknown Caller ID'.

"Hello?"

"Where have you been Pika Pika?!"

My eyes widen as I realize what type of call this is going to be. I stand quickly sending Eri a smile as walk to the bathroom and shut the door so the call can be private.

"I, uh, I'm sorry sir. I was sick and-"

"You sound fine to me! People have been asking for you and have started to complain about your absence." It was true. I had gotten a lot better in these past two day but since they won't let me use concealer to cover my bruises they are all very visible. The other half of the sentence shocked me silent for a second. That means my crowd has grown and last time wasn't a one time thing.

"Sorry."

"You should be! I need you here tomorrow or else you might have to find a new job."

"I..I-"

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Kaminari? Are you okay in there? Are you starting to feel worse again?" My English teacher asks through the door.

"Are you even paying attention to me?!"

The door knob turns and I quickly hang up. I gulp as my teacher becomes visible. That was a risky move but the only one I could make, let's hope I don't lose my job over that.

"Are you okay?" He asks again.

"O-Oh yeah! I'm fine. Just had to take a call real quick." Damn you stuttering.

"Who was it?" Fear is evident in his tone. I wish I could back to when they didn't suspect anything.

"Just Kirishima and and the squad. They were worried about me." At least my lie sounds believable. They have been blowing me up and apparently Shinso or Mr. Aizawa said something that scared them because they keep asking if I'm alright. I haven't replied to a single text or called any of them back.

"Oh. Okay. Eri was asking for you." I stand from where I sat in the side of the bathtub and make my way to the living room.

I hope I can get out of the house tomorrow, on Saturday.
