My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is one of Akimoto Eli's favorite shows growing up. The six main characters of the show are the reasons why Akimoto is who she is today. When you're a child who grew up watching shows like that, you are bound to be influenced by how they act. Akimoto Eli, who looked up to Pinkie Pie the most, grew up like her and became the life of the party.

Akimoto realizing how oblivious she was to other people's feelings shattered her heart. For a girl who always considered others before herself, hearing this from one of her closest friends may have caused her to overthink everything she has ever done for them.

"Akimoto," Sero snapped the girl out of her trance. "–what's up? You've been staring at your phone the whole time."

Akimoto shook her head as she exited out of the messages app. Kirishima was texting her nonstop after they parted ways at the mall when they hung out for fruit shakes. "Yeah, yeah, I– I'm fine. Someone's just texting me nonstop."

The guy sitting beside her sent a questioning look. 

Akimoto sent a grin his way and leaned back on her chair. Staring down at those flooded messages, she was uncertain if she could face him today. The question roams around her head like it was mosquitoes landing everywhere, distracting her.

The girl scrunched her whole face as she hides her cell back in her bag. 

I'll forgive Kirishima, I will. I just don't know if I feel like it yet. 

Bakugou, from Akimoto's front, was too busy cramming everything that they've learned for the upcoming test. He didn't know that Akimoto was already overthinking how dumb she was that she didn't even ask everyone how they were doing the moment she walked in the room.

Did I even say my usual greetings? Did I even talk to people? Do I have to? Won't that be too much? Did I even say good morning to my brother? He was too sleepy, I'm sure he would just smack me using his teeny-tiny spoon– but wait, did I even say good morning to my mother?!

"Bakugou! You're awfully quiet, I thought you were going deaf!" Kaminari slapped the top of Bakugou's table. "Why are you studying?"

"Stop bothering me, the tests are coming up and I haven't studied the material." He gripped his pen harder as he jots everything down.

"But don't you study at night? Why cram now?"
