I woke up the next morning by the sound of the annoying alarm on my phone. I turned it off before sitting up in bed as I pushed on my chest since it was a little sore. I gathered my uniform and made my way down to the bathroom that's connected to my room. Once I was ready, I went down to the sofa in the living room to wait there as usual. Just as I passed Eri's room, she just opened her room door to walk out. I stopped and gave her a warm smile. It wasn't the best smile, but it was something at least. I still felt like shit, but at least I was able to give a smile that wasn't hard to keep up like during the previous days.

"Good morning." I said as she joined me and continued walking.

"Morning." she replied in a tired tone.

"You know you can sleep in a little. I'm so used to waking up at the same time that I keep on waking up earlier than what I want." I said as we made it to the stairs.

Once we passed the main bathroom, she went in there to get ready while I went to the sofa. Melody soon joined me on the sofa and fell asleep on my lap. I petted her softly as she slept. Her purring made me drowsy and eventually made me nod off, but not for too long cause Eri came out of the bathroom and sat on the chair to the left of me, which I then woke up. It didn't matter too much since Yamada walked out a minute or so later. I was almost expecting him to ask how I was doing, but I then remembered that Eri was in the room too, which if he were to ask, it would compromise the little lie that everyone knows.

Shortly later Aizawa came shuffling out of their room, which we then went to the door to put on our shoes while Yamada finished up piecing the lunches together. He handed them out like he always does, but I then noticed that Eri was given the bento box that I usually use. It's the black and pink one that has cherry blossoms on it. The one that I was given was a little bigger than the other three that were prepared. I lifted it up and down a little as anyone else would if they were feeling something for the weight. I could feel that it felt heavier than what I was usually given. I knew that they now both were trying to get me to eat more to gain weight. Once we were in the car, I tucked it in my backpack like I usually do with my lunches.

"Y/N?" Eri asked quietly. I looked to her as I hummed. "When you brought me to your school for the festival, you said that we could go to the mall sometime. When are we going to go?"

I thought about it for a second, "Well, when do you want to go?"

Sheepishly she answered, "Could we go when you get done with school today?"

"Sorry, but I have hero duty after school today."

"When do you get done?"

"I get done at eight this time." I replied, which she then didn't say anything more. "How about we go on Saturday. I was supposed to work but something changed and I was given the day off...well, actually the whole weekend. We could all go then." I then asked the two up front, "What do you guys think?"

"Fine by me, but I'm sleeping in." Aizawa said half asleep.

"I'm always up for a trip to the mall!" Yamada said in his usual energetic manner.

I gave a smile to Eri as she too began to smile. She looked like she remembered something before she asked me, "How was hero duty yesterday? You left really early."

I gave a sigh so it seemed more realistic, "Yeah, it was tiring. So many things happened one after another. I'm still worn out."

"Do you have to do it early again today?"

"Nope, I start at four and get off at eight."

She then looked bummed out that I was going to have to be gone for even longer. I tried to give a smile to show her that it'll be alright. Not too long later we made it to the school. Once the car was in park, I felt my phone buzz. I pulled it out of my pocket before looking at it. I had oddly received a text from Aizawa.
