Seven

Nobody expect her to be there.

After all She seems to disappear without trace after graduation, they did try to find her, but after the first year of not finding anything, they decided to stop. But not him of course, never once did he stop even...

"Ah crap. Am I late?"

It took them minutes to understand what was happening. And when they did, Shinso Hitoshi was the first one to react, he was her classmate after all during her first year before he was transferred on the Hero department by the time of their second year.

"Na..! Nakamura Alice!"

She give him an awkward smile.

"Sorry, did I stutter you all?"

Alice said,

Of course she expected this kind of reaction, she've been gone for so long then decided to show up herself like she didn't disappear in the first place or something?  

"Alice-chan!"

Just like that Alice almost stumble on the ground as Uraraka cling into Alice.

Out of all the Hero course student beside Shinso, Uraraka was the one she was close with.

"I can't believe it! Its been years since you showed up! The last time we saw you was on our graduation!"

She chirp at Alice, still holding her arm.

"Oh well... It was a long story"

Alice chuckle nervously as Uraraka pull her towards her fellow classmates, their good old friends. 

"So its true"

Iida said as soon as he saw Alice, then she wave at him.

"How are you Alice?"

They all sit down at the round table,

"Oh well. I'm a police officer now, expert field in interrogation"

Alice said, pushing some of her blond locks behind her ear.

"Wow, you really did take a usage of your quirk Nakamura-san" 

Now that was Midoriya, for a moment. Alice almost burst out how her daughter has been wanting an autograph since she forgot to asked one during their field trip, but then she realize.

None of them know,

No one was supposed to anyway.

"So.... Tell us Nakamura Alice"

Now Alice realize she've been surrounded by the former Class A students, her good old friends because of him.

But he's missing, and so does she.

"How your love life going?!"

Kiminari, asked. His eyes shining with excitement and curiosity.

She laugh at his question,

"I'm too busy to have one at the moment! Kiminari-san"

Alice said with a grin.

"Oh! Here are they!"

She knew what they're talking about

"Wow, they do look perfect for each other!"

"I know right?! I heard they hooked up as soon as they become pro!"

She came here prepared, after all. Alice came from the same school, of course she'll see them here.

"Yeah! And I heard they're getting married in two weeks!"

"Talking about lucky!"

Alice didn't look at them, not like she cared anyways, she've seen more than in news and social already.

"Alice"

"If you're about to asked me if I'm fine"

Alice took a sip of the champagne in front of her, looking at her old friends.

"I'm fine, It's been years. I supposed everybody has moved on from it"

Yeah, tell that to yourself dumbass.

Then you saw Mina smiled at her,

"Gah! I thought you haven't moved on, thank God I was wrong!"

Now that was a bold statement of her.

"Oi Mina! Watch your mouth!"

Warned my Iida

"But its true, if it aren't for our Alice here interfering from there high school romance during our first year, Momo and Todoroki-kun should be dating from the beginning" 

She pout, making her purple eyes twitch, fake smile still painted on her redish pouty lips.

"Mina!"

Iida raise from his seat, 

Alice purple iris focused on the walking couple heading towards the group she's in, arm linked with each other. And looks like none of them have seen her yet.

"I mean! No hard feelings Alice"

She tear her eye away from the couple and look at the pink alien like creature in front of her.

"But you have to admit it, Todokori was better off with Momo rather than you"

Alice laugh, laugh that sends chill down their spine,

"Yeah, yeah"

She said as soon as her laughing died down.

"They're perfect for each other"

She added, another fake smiled followed after that.

Ah fuck this Alumni homecoming.

Alice stand up from her seat,

"Got to go greet the couple"

"You-you don't have to do that!"

Protested by Iida, yet Alice hold up a hand.

"That's one way to prove myself I've moved on right?"

Alice said looking Mina dead in the eye.

Heh. Her heart won't survive by the end of this homecoming.

"Yo!"

Alice raise her free hand as she hold her purses tightly with one 

"Nakamoto-san!"

Momo was the first one to reply, arm still holding out to Shoto as Alice walk towards them.

"Its nice to see you back after so many years!"

She said and removing her arms on Shoto as she gave Alice a quick hug.

"Yeah! I heard you two are getting married!"

Alice said looking at the guy beside her.

It hurts.

"Ah yes! Actually I was hoping to see you here so I could give this to you personally"

And with a blink of an eye, she create an invitation out of her. 

She chuckled forcibly at this as she grab it from Momo.

"Thank you, I was actually about to be offended if I'm not invited"

What the fuck was she saying? 

She'd rather get herself not invited. 

"Oh! Then it--"

"Momo"

Alice and Momo both look at the one who was causing her a heartbreak.

This is so unfair.

"Let's go greet the others"

He said, walking past both of them.

Why a was she the only one suffering? 

Then Momo give Alice an apologetic smile,

"Sorry, I don't know what suddenly come into him"

All she ever did was to love him.

"Oh! No problem, you should go and greet the others"

Alice said with close eyed smile, then Momo bow into her for the last time and did an apology before going to catch up with her Fiancee.

Why did he have to break her heart?

As soon as Momo turn around, she let out a deep sigh, putting her free hand on her chest, massaging it a bit.

It hurts, like literally. 

"Oi"

Alice look up, their purple eyes meeting

"Shinso"

"You looked like you're about to cry"

He quickly replied.

"Wanna ditch this homecoming and talk about it?'

"You just hate gatherings do you?"

"Shut up"

"Yeah, yeah whatever. As much as I want to stay here"

'I think that if I stay here any longer my heart can't take it.'

he shoot her a look after Alice share her thoughts with him.

"Lets go"
