LOST // BAKUGO X OC

End of Semester

Estelle watched some of her classmates mourn the loss of their final exams. She was resting in her seat with fatigue as she spent most of yesterday recovering from her episode and training with Shinsou. The boy was improving a lot, and his training with Aizawa had benefited him immensely. Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Kaminari's moaning.

"They said whoever failed the exams would have to skip training camp and live in summer school hell. We didn't pass the practical's, so we're doomed. Don't you understand, Midoriya!? Or did All Might knock the brains outta you?!"

Estelle snickered at Kaminari's words, watching as he stuck his finger in Midoriya's eye in a fury. She quickly stifled it when everyone turned to glance at her. She couldn't help the slight grin from resurfacing whilst she looked away from the others. The picture now burned into her brain.

"Calm down, Kaminari!" Sero exclaimed in hopes of putting out the fire.

She ignored Kaminari following words in favour of watching Midoriya holding his eye in pain. The grin that she was trying to hide now in full view again. She was totally a sadist.

'Is this seriously bringing her joy right now?'

Hell yes, it was.

Her contentment was cut short by Aizawa storming into the classroom with the slam of the door.

"Once the bell rings, you should be in your seats! Morning, unfortunately, there are a few of you that did not pass your final exams. So, when it comes to the training camps in the woods......Everyone is going!" Aizawa finished with a creepy wide grin.

"It's a last-minute twist!" The group who failed shouted out in glee.

"The good news is that no one bombed the written exam. Five failed the practical badly. Two teams, of course, and then Sero failed as well."

"Awh crap, I knew it", the tape boy cried out.

"Allow me to explain. For the practical battles, the teachers made sure to leave a way for the students to win. Otherwise, you never would have stood a chance. We were interested in observing how you each worked together and approached the task at hand. Of course, Estelle's was a little different, but I have already explained that."

Ojiro was the next to speak up. "But didn't you promise that the teachers wouldn't be holding back?"

"That was just to get you on edge. Besides, the training camp will focus on building your strength. Those who failed need those lessons the most. We were never going to separate you. That was just a logical deception we used." Aizawa responded, once again finishing with his broad, creepy smile.

"Mr Aizawa! This is the second time you have lied to us! Aren't you afraid we'll lose faith in you" Iida shouted as he raised his hand. Estelle groaned into her palms at his voice. He may be helpful, but he was also a pain in the ass.

"I'll consider it, but I wasn't lying about everything. Failure is failure. We have prepared extra lessons for the five of you," Aizawa confirmed towards the losers.

-_-

Estelle disregarded everyone while she packed up her things when she overheard Hagakure yelling out, "Guys! I have the best idea! Why doesn't Class 1A go shopping together?!"

Estelle decided it was time to leave while most of the class agreed to go.

She shuffled on the outskirts of the classroom walls in hopes of avoiding attention and making a break for it. She, unfortunately, failed since Ashido hollered out in front of the class, "Estelle! You coming!?"
