The next week flew by and soon enough they had quirk training again.

"Class today we have- "

Quirk training. Celeste finished the sentence in her head.

She sighed and slammed her head on the desk, hoping no one around her noticed. Aizawa Sensei had made an exception for the first quirk training class, he wouldn't make it twice.

"You good?" The deep voice from behind her asked. She turned to the insomniac and let out a hidden smile, nodding her head for his concern.

As the class stood up and started heading towards the locker rooms Shinsou pulled the girl back.

"I wanted to ask... the others... they didn't know what you looked like. Or your quirk. Did they?"

Celeste stood in shock and gripped her hood down lower and shook her head.

"I thought so. They all looked too surprised when your hood fell off last week. Will this be your reveal?"

He asked her in a monotone voice. She nodded again and tensed up at the thought.

"I know what that feels like... if you feel scared at any time just let me know ok? I'll try to help." He muttered, opening the door for her.

They walked to the locker rooms together and she left him with a nod of thanks. She entered the locker rooms and the girl's gaze fell on her.

Celeste clenched her fists and took a deep breath. Better in a smaller group than the whole class right? She thought and pulled down her hood.

"H-hi girls..." she mumbled with her hand on her neck.

The other girls in her class looked at her in shock. The first to react was Mina Ashido.

"Wow, wow WOW! Your like so pretty! Why did you hide yourself?!" The alien girl cried running up to her with only half her uniform on.

"Mina! Respect her privacy!" Momo Yaoyorozu said, trying to suppress her curiosity as well.

"I... um... well..."

"Your hair is gorgeous! What do you use for the volume?" Toru Hagakure cried as a floating shirt approached her.

"Girls! Give her room to breath! Ribbit! It probably took her a lot of courage to do that! Ribbit!" Tsuyu Asui cried from her locker.

"Well... I'm going to explain it later with the rest of the class." She said quietly. "I'm really nervous around people... sorry. I'm trying to be more open I swear... I just."

"Hey, your good Celeste. Your being open now. Look at it this way, now you'll have more support!" Jirou cried and smiled at her.

Celeste felt her eyes well up in tears and the rest of the girls gathered around her for comfort. She cried tears of joy and relief, having been so scared of rejection she neglected the feelings of those around her.

After some time she and the other girls changed into their hero costumes. This would be their first trial with them so Celeste was excited. She loved her costume because it made her feel like a real hero. She smiled and looked in the mirror one more time.

While it was revealing, she needed it to be if her quirk was going to be effective. She had on a black skirt that was slightly shorter than she'd like. Her blood red v-neck top fit her figure well with long sleeves and the shoulders exposed. Large black chunky boots adorned her feet and added some height to the 5'2 girl. Her hair was down and the curls bounced perfectly on her shoulders.

Ochaco hugged the girl from behind and passed her, her cloak. Celeste smiled at her classmate and put it on. She raised her hood for what she hoped it would be the last time.
