(A/N I left a pic of Bokuto cake for ya)

The following day was silent for all of us. I put my thumbs up at Ochaco who was comforting me earlier on in the morning and took a seat.

Dad was fast asleep in the corner of the room after explaining the exams. It was a writing one, we weren't fighting or anything. Most of the class groaned but he ignored it like always.

Iida and Momo got to the front, the robot-like guy coughing to get our full attention.

I gulped nervously, not liking the idea already.

"As you all know, we are all here to become heroes..." He said slowly, only making my stomach twist further. "Can any of you tell me any other reasons?" He asked, I knew it was rhetorical, everyone else did.

Except for Denki. Like the idiot he was, his hand shot up. I facepalmed silently, rubbing my face in frustration.

"For the hotties"-

"I didn't even tell you to speak!" Iida shot his unbelivably straight arm at him. The class chuckled slightly, I heard Katsuki groan.

"What engine exhaust here is saying," he leaned back on his seat. "Is that you people need to set your priorities straight and stop acting like a bunch of hooligans."

Did Katsuki just say 'hooligans'... what- why-

He'd never-

"Yes. Again I did not tell you to speak but Bakugo is right. You all should remember why you are here and refrain from creating problems with eachother." He pushed his glasses up like the smartass he was.

"Afterall, heroes are not only physically strong but also mentally strong. That is all." He bowed and let Momo talk about what was going to be on the exams, all the crap I heard weeks ago.

My eyes wondered off onto Tsuyu, her back was hunched over and she didn't seem happy. Not like when I first moved to the school. I exhaled and supressed any guilt.

It isn't my fault! Someone's feeding her lies!
But who?!

It has to be someone in our class... but everyone's too sweet to do that...

When we were dismissed to go to the room we were taking the exams, everyone was ahead of me because of how slow I was being. I couldn't help it, I hated mystery's.

And I hated malicious people more.

My heart dropped the moment I tripped over a foot, expecting my knees to hit the hard mopped floor.

However, rough hands latched onto my waist and I fell against a hard chest, not even making them stumble.

I nervously glanced up, seeing Katsuki with a frown deepening on his face. His fury-filled eyes darkening frighteningly.

"Why are you saving that bully?" The guy who I assumed didn't trip me on purpose snarled.

That bastard-

"She's not a bully. You're just a gullible prick." Katsuki spat back, still holding onto my waist as I awkwardly stood with my knees still bent. I didn't even know how the guy who tripped me looked like. And I couldn't recognise his voice either.

"I hate idiots like you. Disguising hate as some kind of sick justice for something that doesn't even involve you!"

My chest rose, barely processing that it was Katsuki saying all of that.

"What did you just call me!? You must be her shitty boyfriend. You guys a bullying duo or somethin'?" Him and his friends' laughed. So these people also saw the anonymous posts...

"Katsuki, let's go." I snatched his arm, barely dragging him away when all he did was scream insults at the other people- whoever they were I didn't turn around to see them.

It's strange how they know me but I didn't know them... yet they assume how I'm like based off of lies.
There's so many versions of me that exist in people's minds that aren't actually me...

"Fucking useless pieces of shit." He hissed under his breath. "And you! Why don't you ever watch where you're going?!" He yelled at me, just how dad does.

"At least I didn't get hurt!" I fought back with a low voice, stubbornly glaring at the shiny blue floor. "And we're going to be late!"

For the exams, I focused the whole time, no matter how tricky it was. The whole scenario that just happened sneaking in my head at the most random times.

After the first exam, we were granted a short break for fresh air. Just ten minutes but it was enough for me to determine who the drama-stirring bitch was.

The break was at the cafeteria. All I got was milk, sitting alone with my eyes scanning all the different groups.

I began to furiously sip at the milk when I realised I wasn't getting anywhere with my guesses.

"So you not only have a grinch face, but a pedophile face too?"

"You saw me cry once and now you won't shut up." I snapped, glaring at the blonde sitting next to me.

He crossed his legs, leaning back with his eyes closed. "You won't find them out like this. Whoever is creating the rumours about you most likely is charming and 'kind'." He mocked, appearing relaxed with his unusually softened brows.

"I know that..." I dropped my head on the table. "Which makes it a million more times frustrating!" I banged it against the table twice more.

"Yea hit your head another time, that's bound to make you any smarter." He sarcastically said. I shot up and slapped his shoulders.

The day was over and we were all told to prepare ourselves for physical training the next day.

Denki, Jirou and I walked home together since Katsuki was nowhere to be seen after class.

They were "arguing" with eachother but I knew they were flirting otherwise they wouldn't be smirking and enjoying the dumb squabbles they had.

"Why don't you guys just get a room." I interrupted, ignoring their embarassed shouts as I came through the automatic doors of the dorms.

I chucked my backpack on my bed and went straight to take a shower.

After all that thinking...

Authors note:
