The clock read "2:21am."

I got up way earlier than I should've for suhur, excited that it was the first day of Ramadan. However my appearance said otherwise. I had dark circles under my eyes and I could barely walk in a straight line. I couldn't come to a specific conclusion as to why I couldn't get any sleep last night.

It could've been the fact I was ecstatic to start Ramadan, or how hard doing my henna would be, or maybe the fact I couldn't forget how I felt the previous night..

"Yeah, that's not happening." I said to my self. "It's officially Ramadan, no coming face to face with these thoughts until the end of the month!"

I got downstairs and started cooking a quick meal. It felt a little eery, being that it was the midst of the night and I was alone.

Remembering that this would be the first Ramadan I'd be forced to celebrate on my own, did kind of get me down but I immediately smiled again. Just reminding myself why I am, turns my mood around. I'd do absolutely anything to become a hero, preferably the number one hero.

I got myself a plate of food and went back into my room to watch something while I ate.

"It's not like I'll be able to sleep, so might as well stay up until school starts." I said, turning on my T.V.

The images flashing on the screen captivated me for a good while until I noticed that the sun was going to rise soon. I decided that I would do my henna now, and take it off right before I go to school. That way, I could pass some time and have a finished set of henna. 

I quickly finished my food and drank whatever amount of water I could until I immediately stopped when the sacred words of the adhaan was heard from my phone. I patiently listened to it and sat for a moment before I got up.

I made wudu, and stood up to pray Fajr. Afterwards, I took my time doing my henna and decided to get a head start on getting ready for school. I put on my uniform and hijab. I still had about an hour before it was time to leave, so I settled down in the living room and pulled out my phone.

I came to realize that Tik Tok was incredibly addicting, and although I struggled to resist the urge of opening the app, I decided to read quraan instead.

"Might as well improve my memorization skills."

I checked the time after a while of reciting, and realized that it was time to leave. So I quickly took off the dried henna and started my way to school and got there, surprisingly, on time.

When I opened the classroom door, I wasn't shocked to see many people already here. What I was shocked to see was Katsuki in the same state as I was. He had dark eye bags, and for the first time, looked inattentive to his surroundings.

I decided not to bother him and walked to my seat instead.

"So, you gonna tell me?"

I looked up to see familiar spikes of red hair.

"Wow Kirishima, you remembered days later?" I chuckled slightly.

This seemed to get a couple peoples attention, excluding the drowsy Katsuki in his seat, daydreaming.

"Tell him what?" I heard Kaminari say, peeking into our conversation.

"I wanna know!" I heard Mineta yell, clearly curious for a different type of information.

"He wants to know what Ramadan is." I replied. By now, everyone in the class had their attention facing us. However for some reason, a certain blonde was still completely out of it.

"Well, what is it?" Midoriya pitched in.

"Surely they must of heard of Ramadan before.. Well then again, some of them didn't know what my hijab was." I thought.
