I walked down the stairs of the exit and felt a buzz. I took my phone out of my pocket and saw a text from Tokiko. "Sorry! We waited for you but we couldn't be late. We'll meet you at the rink💜" I said with a purple heart at the end. I replied with a simple "ok" and put my phone back in my pocket. "Hey! Nozomi!" I hear a voice call for me. I turn to see Sero running down the stairs. He trips and falls. "Oh shoot!" I say running to help him. "Are you ok?" I ask extending my hand to help him. "Yeah, I just fell." He sighs taking my hand. "You headed home? If so I could walk with you." He says. "I need to grab my stuff for ice-skating and then I'm meeting my friends at the rink." I say as we both start to walk. 

"Wow, you ice skate?" Sero asks. "Yeah, I did it to get out of the house when I was younger." I say. We both looked at each other and Sero gave me a small smile. I couldn't help but return the favor and I fixed my face into a small smile. "Ya know, you should smile more often! Your smile is really pretty." He says complimenting me. "T-thanks." I say lowering my head to hide my flustered face. We walked for a while in silence before we made it to the train station. After the train ride, we were in the city where I live. "My apartment is just up there. Do you want to come? I can walk you home after I get my stuff. You said you lied in Tokyo so it's not that far from the rink." I say. 

"Yeah, sure thanks!" Sero says. I stop at the mailbox to pick up my mail and then we both walk up the stairs and walk to my door. I shuffle through my keys looking for the one that opens my door. I find the right one and push it into the keyhole, turn it, and open the door. I hang my bag up and slip off my shoes. I turn on the lights and pick up a pair of extra house slippers for Sero. "Here ya go. I just need to put on some civilian clothes and pack my bag, I shouldn't take long." I say handing Sero the slippers. "Okay!" He says taking the slippers and putting them on. I walk to my room and close the door behind me as I walk in. 

I just grab a black tank top and some white shorts with my blue tenny shoes. I change my clothes and brush my hair out again pulling it back into a ponytail. I slide my closet doors open and grab a grey jacket. Slipping my arms through I put it on and tuck the long sleeves up so they fit my arms. I remove the hair tie from my wrist and pull it around my hair into a ponytail. I grab my skate stuff and put it in my bag with my skates and pull it on my shoulder. I walk out shutting my door behind me. "Ok I'm done and ready." I say to Sero who was sitting on the floor petting Giyuu. "So you found my new friend huh, Giyuu?" I say crouching down to pet Giyuu on his head. 

"You live alone?" Sero asks. "Yeah, my parents were too busy with their work so I used some of my money and bought this apartment for me and Giyuu." I say. "I guess being the child of top heroes has its downs." Sero laughs. "Yeah, I guess. My childhood was a mess and complicated. My parents trained my brother and me until my brother went missing then they stopped and I trained myself. I was cared for by the maids and many caretakers my parents hired. They tried to make me forget my brother, Rinomi, didn't exist but they weren't successful. I moved away when I was 12 and have lived here since." I say standing back up.

"Wow, I guess it was complicated for you. I'm sorry to hear about your brother." Sero says. "It's fine...we should get going before it gets dark." I say lending Sero a hand to help I'm up. "Yeah." Sero says taking my hand and standing up. We left and I walked Sero home saying my goodbyes. I wasn't actually going to skating, that's later in the week, I was going to visit my brother.

Morning came and I hit my alarm shutting it up. I shuffle out of my bed and walk to my bathroom. I brush my teeth and take my hair out of its braid and brush it out. My hair is really long so I keep it up when I sleep so it's easier to handle in the morning. After, I walk back to my room and put on a black long sleeve shirt before putting my school shirt on. I pull my skirt up to my waist and straighten it to fit my waist comfortably. I thread my tie through the collar and tie it. I don't like when people see the scars on my arms so I typically wear clothes that cover my arms.  

I have my usual morning tea and then put my shoes on and grab my bag. I pet Giyuu goodbye and leave my apartment. I made my train just in time and before long I was back at UA. I walked to the class and sat at my desk. We had homeroom as usual and then lunch. I grabbed my lunch and sat at a table by myself. It's not that I don't like people or anything I just like to be alone typically. "Hey!! Nozo!" I could hear Tokiko's voice. I saw her, Hikari, Yumi, and two other people walking over. The others were one girl with short black hair who walked next to Tokiko and the other was a boy with short dark brown hair who walked next to Hikari.

"Hey guys." I say to my friends.
