Yoko's POV:

I hummed happily as I followed Shoto to U.A.

Suddenly, we were swarmed by reporters.

"HOW DOES ALL MIGHT LOOK LIKE WHEN HE IS TEACHING?"

"WHAT'S IT LIKE LEARNING FROM ALL MIGHT?"

"Uh...uh...." I edged closer to my brother.

"Hey, aren't you two Endeavor's children?" a reporter shoved her microphone into my face.

"Piss off." Shoto snarled, a irk mark appearing on his head.

As we got mobbed by the reporters, Aizawa came out and shooed the news press away. To us, he said, "Get in. Class is about to start."

"Yes sir!"

We sped into the school, not wanting any more trouble.

"Nice work on yesterday's training." Aizawa said, handing out papers to us. "I've looked over your grades and evaluations."

"Now, onto homeroom business." he continued. "Sorry for the sudden announcement, but today, you'll be picking a class president."

"ME!"

"I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT!"

"THAT POSITION WAS MADE FOR ME!"

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"I WANNA BE LEADER!"

"IN MY ADMINISTRATION, GIRLS WILL HAVE TO SHOW 30 cm OF THIGH!"

I stared at Mineta in disgust. Personally, I wanted to be president too. It's not like I was super responsible or anything, but in my middle school I won the Leadership Award, so I guess I sort of have that 'leader' vibe? The only time I was actually the 'leader' for anything was in group projects...

"Ugh." Chisako scoffed. "I just want to eat."

"OUR TRUE LEADER..." Tenya screamed, "...NEEDS TO BE CHOSEN BY A ELECTION!"

Typical Tenya.

"THIS IS JUST A CLASSROOM! NOT A CONGRESS!" our class yelled back.

"But Iida, we haven't known each other long enough to build trust!" Tsu interjected. 

"And everyone will just vote for themselves!" Kirishima added. We all nodded along to Tsuyu and Kirishima's protests.

"Precisely why anyone who manages to get more than one vote will be the best-suited individual for the job!" Tenya chopped the air. "Will you allow this, Sensei?" he asked Aizawa.

"However you do it, just do it quick." Aizawa mumbled, then went into the corner to sleep in his yellow sleeping bag.

I accepted my piece of paper. I wanted to write down my own name, but I felt like that would be selfish. I was already selfish enough.

So then who should I pick?

I scanned my classmates. Who would be best at being a president??????

Momo?

I've known Momo for a while, and she's definitely a suitable candidate for president. We didn't go to the same middle school, but if we had, then she would've won the Leadership Award instead of me.

Momo Yaoyorozu. I scribbled down her name without a second thought and handed it in. 

In the end, it was revealed that Momo would be vice-president and Midoryia would be president. Don't get me wrong, but the way the curly-haired boy was trembling up there, I was having my doubts.

Perhaps Tenya could take Midoryia's position.

"Soba is the best." I exclaimed as I ate another mouthful.

"Spicy food is better." Chisako said, taking a sip from her ramen.

"Soba!"

"Spicy!"

"Soba!"

"Spicy!"

"Spicy soba." Tsuyu interrupted.

We both stared at her, then went back to eating.

"Security level 3 has been broken. Students, please evacuate in orderly fashion."

"Security level 3??" Momo frowned, standing up immediately.

"The hell does that mean?" Chisako yelled as all the students in the cafeteria started to rush out in not so much of an 'orderly fashion'.

"It means, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!" Bakugou yelled from where he was standing with Kirishima.

"DON'T YELL AT ME, BITCH!" Chisako yelled back.

"SAYS YOU!"

"Chisako, its not time to be flirting!" I grabbed her wrist. "We have to go!"

"I'm not fli--mmh!" She complained before Jiro clapped her hand over Chisako's mouth.

"Go go go!" We got pushed around. I winced as I got shoved around. I thought I heard Shoto's voice so I swung my head to look for him, but I couldn't spot him anywhere.

And when I turned around, I realized I had been separated from my friends.

Ah shit. 

Amidst the crowd, I saw a certain blond waving his arms around, with Sero next to him.

"Kaminari! What's going on?" I called, trying to get to my classmates.

"Dunno! Ack!"

I grabbed his hand and Sero's. "I'm getting claustrophobic."

I didn't exactly notice that Sero's and Denki's faces were beet red. Really, I had other things to worry about. Like getting the fuck outta here, as Bakugou would say.

"L-look! There's Iida!" Denki said.

"Yoko! Kaminari! Kirishima! Please do not worry!" Tenya said, just as he got smacked into the window. Ouch.

A few seconds later, he got thrown up to the exit sign and he yelled, "ITS JUST THE PRESS! THERE'S NOTHING TO PANIC ABOUT! THIS IS U.A! BEHAVE IN A WAY BEFITTING THIS GREAT INSTITUTION!"

"The fucking press triggered the U.A. alarm?" I cursed.

Soon, the police arrived and shooed the press away. I found Shoto (he clicked his tongue and stared down at me, which I'm pretty sure was his way of saying he was relieved I'm ok) and my friends. Back in class, Midoryia and Momo came to the front of the class to announce some president-y stuff.

"Go ahead, class president." Momo said enouragingly.

"W-we would like to choose the other Student Council members!" Midoryia stuttered. "But before that...I believe...that Iida is better suited to be class president!"

"What?" Tenya gasped. I guess my thoughts from earlier were coming true.

"You all saw how well he led everyone in a time of crisis." Midoryia said smiling. "I think he's the correct person for this job."

"Whatever. Just get on with it." Aizawa grumbled, glaring at everybody. "What a waste of time."

"I ACCEPT!" Tenya thrust his hand into the air, tears in his eyes.

I grinned. Maybe I should've voted for him in the first place.
