Rumor Said [KRBK]

Chapter 2

It'd only been a single school day, but Kirishima was already popular as ever.

Despite having a digital map of the school, he was completely lost in this new environment. U.A. was huge, and the only way he had found himself standing in the lobby after school is from following crowds of talkative students.

People were all around. Some headed back to their assigned dorms, some talked in the kitchen area, and some hung off the sides of couches. But where should he go? It would be logical to head to the common room, after all, he wanted to make as many friends as possible instead of being a lonely introvert like he was in middle school. Wouldn't want to become a social reject again..

Taking a step towards the common room, he was immediately halted by an arm which slung around his shoulder.

"Ay! New guy!" A guy with yellow hair called out. His hair had a black streak running through it, and Kirishima had immediately recognized him as Kaminari from his class. He was one of the first people to start conversation with him. A black-haired boy who was slightly taller than Kaminari followed shortly behind. 

"Kirishima right?" Kaminari asked, and the red-head nodded. "So your quirk.. hardening.. I guess I don't quite understand. What is it, like, do you harden your di-"

The black-haired boy recognized as Sero instantly slapped his hand over the boys mouth, facepalming with the other.  He would admit though, he too was a bit curious.

"Not in particular.." Kirishima chuckled, showing off his dimples. "I can harden parts of my body. It's like a defensive and offensive sort of thing I guess, but not too flashy.."

"That's still super cool! You can pack a punch and defend yourself from attacks at the same time!" Kaminari responded. "Wait.. So that means you can harde-"

Sero nudged him in the side, trying to hold in his laughter.

They got to know each other a bit more, giving explanations of their quirks and hobbies. Kirishima was glad to have fit in so well, and he finally was able to make his first friends at U.A. They talked to him about all of the teachers, other students in his class, and which classes they were on the verge of failing. They were funny, he had to admit, and he felt comfortable talking to them. He was glad to have made a few friends so quickly instead of having to search for people to talk to himself.

"Ah.. Could you tell me where the bathroom is?" The red-head asked, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm still not familiar with how to get around."

"Oh, yeah it's just around the left corner," Sero replied, pointing in the direction. "Don't get too lost on the way!"

Kirishima headed in that direction, turning his head back to Sero and chuckling. "I'll try not to!" He grinned, before bumping into something.. or rather someone.

Liquid splashed at his feet, and he immediately snapped his head back to see a very pissed off blonde in front of him. The coffee he once held was now spilled all over his white uniform, and the cup rolled past the place Kirishima stood. The red-head stared at the mess in shock for a short moment, still alarmed from the scare.. and the bad impression he had just made to whoever stood before him.

Kirishima looked back up into the blondes narrowed eyes, feeling a moment of fear. He was definitely being judged. The boy scowled and looked down at the mess. Oh god. This was not the impression he wanted to make on anyone here.

 After seeing the scene play out, Kaminari and Sero were quick to be at Kirishima's side. The blonde let out a 'tch' and turned away immediately, leaving his spilled beverage on the floor as he headed straight back to his dorm room.
