3rd POV

As Y/N sits silently in his wheelchair, of course doing his tradition of not paying attention, looking out the window with a bored look on his face, he looks over to his right and looks at Charlotte who's paying attention, he wants to talk to her but she's been ignoring him

So he's just resigned himself to glancing at her instead of their usual small talk, he looks up to the ceiling, not paying attention until someone calls him out

Chifuyu: "Mr. Pasternak, since you look so bored, you mind telling me the best option to deal with an I.S. focused around Long range sniping?" She awaits his answer, and without moving his head, he speaks

Y/N: "Use your surroundings to your advantage, block their line of sight and get the drop on them, if you can't do that. You're dead" She gets surprised at his dead tone, he'd usually throw in a joke or two in there, but nope, right to the point

Chifuyu: "Very well.... It looks like you are paying attention" She tries to hide her worry as she goes back to teaching, but of course the Stovie isn't doing anything to pay attention, Ichika looking behind himself to strike up a conversation

Ichika: "What're gonna do today? We were plannin' on heading to the mall or the park" Y/N thinks about it for a bit until he smiles

Y/N: "Yeah sure, i'm bored as shit anyways, hey Charl wanna co-"

Charlotte: "Non" She coldly says as she doesn't even face him, at this moment. He remembers that she's still mad at him and looks depressed as he turns away from her, a weak smile on his face as he tries to hide his sadness

Y/N: "Welp, Charl's outta the question"

Timeskip 1 Hour

After class finally ends, Ichika and the rest of the group get up, all except Cecilia, Alexandria and Charlotte, and Y/N's kinda disqualified, he can't get up

Ichika: "Yo, Cecil, Alex. You stayin' too?" The two women nod and Ichika puts up an okay sign before going behind Y/N and pushing him towards the door as Y/N points dramatically with his non broken arm

Y/N: "Well ladies! I'll be back soon! Drive, my chauffeur!" Ichika looks at him with a deadpan expression before he pushes him out the door, Y/N's voice echoing from the hallway"H-Hey! Don't let go you dumbass!! Ah Shit, The Wall!! AAAAAGGHH-"

*CRASH*

Alexandria: "He will be okay, right?"

Cecilia: "Perhaps, Charl, are you not worried?" Charlotte looks away, getting up and beginning to walk out the class

Charlotte: "Why should i worry about some disgusting pig" She's been calling him that ever since the infirmary incident, the other girls are worried about her behaviour, she doesn't talk to almost anyone now, only speaking small responses, and spending most of her time in her room

She's definitely not okay, and that much is obvious, but she refuses to talk about it for whatever reason, and of course all of them are worried about her

But right now, we won't focus too much on her yet, we'll check up on how the rest of the gang is doing, specifically, how Y/N is doing, and you guessed. Chaotic
