Chapter 5: School

Nala's pov:

~Time skip. First day of school for Nala~

Aizawa waved at me as I got out of the car in front of my new school. He told me to call him 'Dad' but I didn't feel comfortable yet. I felt sick to my stomach, and my anxiety was through the roof, but I walked in. I looked down at my schedule, to see my first class, and made my way there. When I walked in, everyone was chatting and having fun. There was a seat in the back that seemed empty, so I went and sat there. I then pulled out my phone, and put my earbuds in to listen to music.

3rd person pov:

Josh and Jackson, the 'cool guys' noticed Nala sitting in the back alone, and decided to go 'talk' to her. They walked up to her, and ripped her earbuds out of her ears. SHe looked up at them, terrified.

"So, you're the new girl?" Jackson asked. Nala slowly nodded. He then made a "tch' before walking away. Nala didn't know what that was about, but she did know one thing. Her earbuds were broken. Now she was grumpy because she had to go the whole day without listening to music. She was always listening to music. Even around the house, she always had her earbuds in.

The teacher walked in, and everyone sat down and got quiet. Class went on like any other, and Nala zoned out most of the day. When lunch came around, she wasn't really hungry, so she decided to just go to the bathrooms, however on her way there, she ran into the guys from class. They teased her, and called her names, but Nala got sick of it. She went to talk back when one of them smacked her across the face. Nala stumbled back, surprised, as she rubbed her cheek.

"Hey! What the Hell?!" She half shouted. Jackson grabbed her shirt, and shoved her into the ground.

"Who the hell do you think you're talking to?" He asked, rhetorically.

"You!" She shouted as she stood back up, and punched him right in the face. They were both shocked, to say the least, but they wouldn't let her do that. Josh went to swing, but Jackson pulled him back, wiping his bloody nose.

"Don't worry. We'll get our pay back." He smirked as he pulled Josh away. Nala sighed, and continued walking towards the bathrooms.

'Great!' She thought. 'Two enemies on my first day!' She avoided everyone for the rest of the day, and when it came time to leave, she was grateful. However, she had to walk home since Aizawa and Hizashi had to stay later at U.A.

Nala walked outside, and started on her way home, however she didn't get far before Josh and Jackson caught up to her. She knew she was screwed. Should she fight back, and risk getting in trouble, or should she just take what they are going to give her, and deal with it? She decided to just deal with it, because she didn't want to get in trouble and upset Aizawa and Hizashi.

"Did you think you could get away that easily?" Jackson asked her.

"What's it to you?" She snapped back. The boys both glared at her. Jackson quickly snatched her bag right off of her shoulder, and threw it, landing inches away from the fountain behind her. Nala let out a yelp in surprise, but to the boys it seemed like she was just scared. They both smirked at the idea. Nala knew she was in for it, just by the looks on their faces. Josh kneed her in the stomach, and Nala doubled over in pain. "C-come on guys. Wh-what did I e-ever do t-to you?" She stuttered, about to have a panic attack.
