Cherry

Midoriya went after me and Bakugou in particular seemed shocked. Everyone knew he had a quirk but I had zoned off so maybe something happened. Tiny explosions came from his palm as he suddenly ran forward.

"Hey! Deku, you bastard! Tell me how you did that or you're dead!" Midoriya screamed but lucky for him, Mr. Aizawa's scarf wrapped around him and kept him contained.

"What? Why the hell is your damn scarf so strong?" I wonder how many pounds it could hold, I've always wanted a pet hippo.

"Because it's a capture weapon made out of carbon fiber and a special metal alloy. Stand down. It would be wise to avoid making me use my quirk so much. It gives me serious dry eye." Sensei answered. His scarf went back to him and his hair floated down.

"You're wasting my time now. Whoever's next can step up." The next few tests went by in a breeze, I did pretty well.

"All right, time to give you you're results. I've ranked you all from best to worst. You should probably have a good idea of where you're standing already. I'll just pull up the whole list. It's not worth going over each individual's score."

I hope I'm at least in top five." He pulled up a hologram of the list. I saw my name immediately in the 2nd place.

1st: Momo Yaoyorozu
2nd: Cherry Nakamura
3rd: Shoto Todoroki
4th: Katsuki Bakugou
5th: Tenya Iida
6th: Fumikage Tokoyami
7th: Mezo Shoji
8th:  Mashiroa Oijiro
9th: Eijiro Kirishima
10th: Mina Ashido
11th: Ochaco Uraraka
12th: Rikido Sato
13th: Tsuyu Asui
14th: Yuga Aoyama
15th: Hanta Sero
16th: Denki Kaminari
17th: Kyoka Jiro
18th: Toru Hagakure
19th: Minoru Mineta
20th: Izuku Midoriya

I mentally tried to connect the names to faces. Mr. Aizawa took down the hologram. "And I was lying, no one is going home. That was just a rational deception to make sure to make sure you gave it your all in the tests.

Momo spoke. "I'm surprised the rest of you didn't figure that out. I'm sorry. I guess I probably should have said something."

"That's pretty nerve-wracking, huh?"

"I'm always up for a challenge!"

Aizawa walked off. "That's it, we're done for the day. Pick up the syllabus in the classroom. Read it over before tomorrow morning.

I was walking out, Momo had agreed to come with me. She was really nice. "You're mom is Ebony Nakamura right? The designer?" I nodded.

"That's so cool. My parents always buy me her clothes, I absolutely love them. It's so cool, does she design your clothes."

"Oh, uhm, sometimes. I'm usually her model to see what she does and - and doesn't like. I could introduce you." Her eyes shimmered.

"Would you really? That would be amazing! Oh, there's my limo. I'll see you around Cherry." She waved as she left. I breathed out shakily and went to my own limo.

I glanced around before I got in. I felt like someone was watching me.

We were sitting in hero basics class, everyone was talking with friends.

"I think the Sun would blow up if we poured a glass of water on it." Tokoyami stated. "I think it would go out if we dumped a sun sized bucket of water on it." I replied. Our conversations were always strange but Tokoyami was very nice.

"That's if it doesn't completely evaporate as soon as it gets within a certain distance of the sun."

"I AM HERE!" The doors burst open revealing All Might in his golden age costume. "Coming through the door like a hero!"
