━ chapter twenty two

After everyone congratulates me and Mineta, I head to the surveillance room to watch Bakugou and Midoriya's room. Bakugou was looking extremely mad. "Does- uh- does Bakugou look more aggressive to you than usual?" I whisper to Mina who stood beside me. She shrugged, "no more than usual." She responded

I hummed a response, looking at the fight going on ahead of me. "I don't know why you'd care... Unless you liked him." I could hear the smile in Mina's voice. "And why would you come to that assumption?" I responded, not taking my eyes off the blonde. "Because it's obvious and best friends are meant to tell each other this stuff." She informs.

"They are?" 

Mina nods at me. "How about on Saturday I'll give you a crash course on best friends?" I nodded back to her, finally breaking my eye contact with the fight going on. "Sounds great." I grinned.  

The next day in school, I stood beside Sero, listening to the screaming and crying students in front of us. "Please- bring- us- back- souvenirs-" Kaminari sobbed. My heart was in my throat as I listened to them. "Guys, relax. I don't even know if I passed or not." Sero butt in. "I just slept the whole time- Mineta practically did everything." I pointed at myself, "Me neither, I mean I slept for the most part too." I shrugged.

Aizawa came into the class shortly after. "As you know- Kaminari, Ashido, Kirishima, Sato and Sero failed their practical exams." I furrowed my brows in confusion, yet sighed in relief. Poor Sero. "But you will all still be going to the training camp!" Aizawa smiled. Everyone cheered and Kaminari looked like he could pass out. 

"None of you failed the written exam." As Aizawa went on to explain what else he was to talk about, my mind drifted to this morning. 

"Mai-Chan!" I jumped from my desk and shoved the blueprints of my updated costume away, my uniform half on. "What's wrong?" I asked Nemuri in concern. She squealed and shoved an envelope in my face. "It's for you~" She sang. I took it from her grasp and ripped it open, before squealing in excitement. "It's that I-Island place- preview, thing!" I cried, shoving it in Midnight's face. 

She squealed excitedly, "Oh my god! Oh my god! You have to tell me everything when you get back- Oh! There's a party, we'll have to go shopping! Get you a dress! Make you look great!" She rambled on excitedly. I jumped up and down in excitement. Cheering after every suggestion she made.

A smile overtook my face as I drowned out what Aizawa was saying. I glanced over at the blonde beside me- I'll ask him if he got an invite after school.

After the bell rang signalling the end of school, Bakugou left without a word to me. I frowned to myself and Mina walked up to me. "That was weird." She voiced aloud. I nodded, "Right? Usually he'll say something." I frown. "Forget about it." She pulled me from my seat and we walked home together.

The next day, I was walking towards Mina's and decided to stop in Bakugou's on the way as I was early anyway. Nervously, I brought my hand up to the door, knocking three times. 

Mitsuki opened the door less than twenty seconds after and smiled at me. 

"Well, if it isn't my favourite friend of Bakugou's, don't tell Kirishima." She winked. I giggled and bowed to her. "Good morning, Ms Mitsuki." I greeted. 

"I was just about to head to work, Bakugou is in his room!" She stepped to the side and I took my shoes off, bowing to her again. "Thank you!" I called as she left the house, before walking up the stairs to the boys' room. Without knocking, I walked into the boys' room. 

"What the hell are you doing here?" The boy growled from his bed. He was leaning against his headboard, his phone in his hands. "What? Expecting someone else?" I question. "Kirishima is coming over actually." He informs.

I roll my eyes. "Calm down, I was just visiting my favourite person, Kacchan." I tease. He rolls his eyes, "I know one person who'd be above me on that list." The boy mumbled childishly, looking back to his phone.

I ignored his remark and hopped onto the bed beside him, "I dunno why you're pretending to text when the only person you text is sitting beside you." I speak cheekily. "I have other friends besides you! Bastard!" The boy shouts in my ear. 

I roll my eyes at the antics I've gotten used to. "Kirishima-Kun doesn't count." I respond. "Like you've any other friends besides me and Ashido." He huffs, looking away from the girl. "Hey! Of course I do!"

"Yeah, probably Sero." He mumbles. I gasp and point. "I knew it!" I exclaim, poking at his arm. "What?" He snaps, smacking my hand away. "You're jealous!" I conclude. 

The boy laughs loudly. "You're joking!?" He questions. I shake my head, "You're not denying it~" I sing. "Why would I be jealous of you?" He asks. I giggle, "You're not- you're jealous of Sero! Because I fell on top of him?" I explain.

The boy scowls and looks down to his phone again. I laugh to myself. "C'mon, you're my best friend! I'm not gonna suddenly like Sero more than you just because I fell asleep on him!" I inform. "What about Mina?" Bakugou questions. "Is she not your best friend?"

I think for a moment before shrugging slightly. "I don't think so." I confess. The blonde looks at me in shock. "Really?" I shake my head. "I mean only if I'm yours." I smile slightly. He scoffs and looks away, regaining his cool-boy facade. "I suppose." He mumbles.

I gasp in shock. "I'm telling Kirishima?!" I cry out. 

"Tell me what?!" We hear a yell from downstairs.

Kirishima swings the door open and raises a brow at the two teens. "What did I walk in on?" He questioned. I looked towards Bakugou in confusion, "us talking?" I answered. "Oh sure..." He winked at Bakugou who just shook his head. "We were talking you freak. Get your mind out of the gutter."

"Well, make room for me too then." The red- haired boy jumped between Bakugou and I, smiling bashfully at the former.

"So big news, since you got that invite Bakugou. I convinced my parents to let me go too! Just bought my ticket!" The red-head waved the ticket in our faces. Bakugou grabbed his waving wrist and I gently pulled the ticket from his grasp. 

"The I-Island ticket!? This shit is so expensive- what the hell?!" I exclaimed. "Did you not get an invite?" Kirishima questioned. I scoffed, crossing my arms and leaning back against Bakugou's headboard. "Of course I did, I'm the daughter of the past fourth hero- obviously I'm invited." I explain. "Okay- no need to brag, ass." Kirishima puffed. 

I slapped the back Kirishima's head. 

"Anyway's, I'm heading to Mina's now. I'll call you guys later." I smile, scooting off the bed from the two boys. "What are you guys doing?" Kirishima asked. I shrugged I'm response. "Sleepover." I informed. Kirishima nodded at my words, "me and Bakubro are heading to the shopping centre if you guys wanna meet us there?" He proposed. 

"I don't want them coming." Bakugou huffed.

I spun around to face the two at the doorway, "I'll ask Mina and call you guys, see you soon." I wave at them and head out the door.
