Prickly Pair

I pushed through the huge crowd of people with Hamasaki, holding onto her hand to make sure we didnt lose each other in the crowd. A sigh of relief escaped both of our lips once we saw our classroom.

It was class 1A, another thing I had been shocked about. All Might had told me in my acception letter that the other heroes saw something in me that I didnt and that one day Id be one of the best 1A members. Of course I didnt believe them, but if they thought it then it had to be true. I hoped

I sat down, Hasamaki taking a seat next to me. We talked to one another as the rest of our classmates filled in the room. I couldn't believe all of the different people I was seeing. An energetic boy with green skin and crazy hair, a shy girl who looked completely normal except for her eyes being a deep purple. I wonder what thats about.

A tall and muscular boy, a fast and funny girl, a tall girl with scarily long limbs. There were so many different people here it was almost too hard to process.

Finally our teacher Aizawa had... rolled into the room. We all awkwardly stared in silence, no one knowing what to do. I had heard stories about this but I never excepted it to be like this. It was like this for about ten minutes before he decided to finally get up. He studied all of us before letting out a small grunt and opening his mouth to speak.

"Welcome to UA." He deadpanned, his face only showing signs of drowsiness and boredom. But of course we all eagerly leaned forward to hear the rest of what he was going to say. "This year will be different for you first years, you'll actually be the first to be apart of this."

I looked over Hamasaki exctitedly, a wide smile on my face. We got to be the first... I wonder what itd be... Maybe a new training area or a program or maybe we got to get early private lessons from a hero. Anything at this point would be amazing.

We all followed Aizawa outside to the training grounds, everyone conversing excitedly about what we got to be apart of. I tried to look over all the heads to hopefully see what it was, but of course I was too short (Im 5'2 btw).

I finally was able to push my way through with Hasamaki and was shocked at the sight. Standing right in front of us were the second years. Izuku, Ochaco, Tokoyami, Tsui, Mina, Momo, Denki, Jirou.. everyone. They were all wearing their hero suits too. What was this about?

"As you can all see," Aizawa began, "the second years in class 2A are here. Theyre going to be apart of our new program that we want to try out with you guys." He looked over at second years, nodding his head at them.

A girl in a pink and white hero suit stepped up, her short brown hair framing her face perfectly. She looked at us all with a smile and waved. "Hello everyone! Im Ochaco Uraraka! We are all excited to have you guys here and we all cant wait to work with you!"

A guy with spiky blonde hair scoffed at the last statement. He looked tired and annoyed to just be standing by everyone else. His hero costume was definitely intimidating and intense... his whole vibe was intense. But what do you expect from Katsuki Bakugo.. I had seen and heard a lot about him and he was definitely the last person I expected to want to be a hero. He seemed to have the attitude of a villain.

Izuku soon stepped up by Ochaco with just as big of a smile. "The heroes picked your pairings with us based off of how you did during the exams and whoever you get is who they think would help not only benefit you but also benefit us. And with that, your teacher will not start listing off the pairings."

The two second years stepped back to where they were originally standing and Aizawa started calling off names one by one. I waited impatiently as I watched the kids in my class go to the second year they had been paired with, I was hoping to get Izuku, he seemed like he could help me a lot and his energy was something I liked being around.
