Quick Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who decided to read my story! It has been a long time since I have written a fanfiction so forgive me if I am a little rusty :) If you have any suggestions, comments, or criticisms feel free to let me know!

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BE-
I smack my alarm clock and breathe out an annoyed sigh. The sun beaming in through the window hits my face and I start to rub the crust out of my eyes. My door creaks open and my mom pokes her head in , "Good morning! Be down for breakfast in 10! Don't forget to dress comfortable today, you have the entrance exam in an hour!"

"Thanks," A yawn stops me mid-sentence, " I'll be down in a minute. Make sure Jasper doesn't steal my food." The feline culprit has made it a habit to steal at least one item from my morning breakfast and today I am not having it.
I slip out of my pajamas and into some comfortable but presentable athletic gear.  The goal for today was efficiency and heroism! I was gonna be a hero doing heroic things...well fake heroic things, but it was a start. I come out of my room and go downstairs to see my dad sitting on the couch, still in his pajamas, and my mom rubbing his shoulder while sipping her coffee.

"Morning," I call out before sitting at a stool on the island. My mom slides a plate of pancakes and bacon over to me before going back to dad and her cup of coffee.
"Morning Y/N. Good luck on the exam today! Not that you'll need it my little hero!" I roll my eyes at the comment and begin to eat my breakfast, a small grin resting on my face. It was then Jasper decided to make his presence known by launching a surprise attack on my bacon.

I. Think. Not. You. Furry. Brat.

I shield the rest of my plate from the beast and call out, "JASPER! YOU CRETIN!" Jasper shoots me a smug look before leaping to the floor and consuming his bounty. "...I may have lost the battle, but I will win the war." I keep an eye on Jasper while I finished eating, little brat.

"Don't bully Jasper too hard. You were the one who brought him home in the first place," Dad said, looking at me smugly. 
"Well, I wouldn't have to bully him if he would respect the sanctity of breakfast!" I say with a sigh before grabbing my bag and slipping some sneakers on.
"Try to make some friends Y/N! These people could be your future classmates after all. Don't hurt anybody too badly and try to-"
I cut my mom off with a peck on the cheek and a smile, "I will try not to over-do it Mom, don't worry. I'll try to make a good impression and I won't kill anyone...yet." I say the last point with a playful smirk and she rolls her eyes.

"I love you!" Her and Dad both call out and I reply, "Love you guys too! Now I seriously have to go or I'm going to be late!" I close the door behind me and step out onto the porch. Taking a deep breath, I jump over the steps and set off to U.A. This is it!

--------

Y/N stands in awe at the gates of the school. She knew that the school was big but she didn't know it was this big. A look of determination pulls itself onto your face as you walk in, striding confidently. Too confidently. You misstep and brace for impact, you can't believe that the first thing you do on U.A grounds is trip...how embarrassing. Right before your face makes friends with the concrete below you, you feel something wrap around your waist and pull you upwards...huh?! Your back meets a solid wall and you stumble at the sudden impact...

"Sorry about that!" The voice snaps you out of your head and you turn around to see a boy...a cute one at that. He's pretty tall and has shoulder length black hair and...what's up with his elbows? "Good thing I saved you before you fell! My name is Hanta Sero but you can call me Sero!" Once again his voice brings you out of your thoughts and you manage to utter out a reply, "Oh! Uh, thanks for that Sero! I'm F/N L/N, nice to meet you!"

You realize that you are still very close to him and that something is still wrapped around your waist. Your eyes trail down to your midsection to see...tape? Sero notices you're stare and rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, "That's my quirk...I can shoot tape from my elbows. I shot some out to save you before you fell...let me help you get it off!" He gives an awkward chuckle before tucking his fingers into the tape; he pulls it from your waist and discards it in a trash can near by.

--------

I can't believe that that just happened. This has to be a dream. I just embarrassed myself in front of this guy and I haven't even been here for 5 minutes... This isn't how I expected to make friends...but I'm not gonna complain. "So Sero, are you here for the entrance exam?" I cock my head to the side and awkwardly smile. He shoots back a dorky grin and I can feel my face flush slightly.
"Yeah actually! Do you maybe want to walk in together?"
"Yes, please, I am so nervous I have been flipping out all morning." I walk next to Sero and can't help but wonder about his quirk. "So, about your quirk, can you reel the tape back into your elbows? How much tape can you produce? And how strong is it? And-"

"Woah! One question at a time! Yes, I can reel it back and from what I know, it's pretty strong--last time I tested it, I got to about 220 pounds before it snapped. As for how much...I think about a mile in each elbow? But if I make too much, I get pretty sore and my arms are out of commission for a while."

"That's actually really cool! I haven't met someone with a quirk like that! You're kind of like that one Western hero, Spiderman!" I can't help but smile at him, my excitement clear, "Mine is kind of vanilla compared to that..." 

He pats my shoulder, "I'm sure your quirk is super cool! I'm actually surprised you like mine... I get made fun of for it a lot...cause of the...elbows." He looks at the ground before shaking his head and grinning at me again, "What is your quirk anyways?"

"I can control the air around me. Like I can make it solid and shape it or use it to push stuff around... And I roller skate a lot! So, when I skate I use my quirk to propel myself forward. But when I use it for too long or over-do it, I kind of deflate and get really tired. I have to take a very long nap to recover." I look up at Sero expecting to see a look of disappointment but he... looks excited?

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THAT'S AWESOME! ESPECIALLY THE ROLLER SKATING PART!" He holds his arms up in excitement and gives me a reassuring look, "It's not boring at all! And I'm sure you'll do great on the exam! Good luck to both of us!" My face softens, "Yeah!"

 I guess despite the... trip...I'm off to a good start!
