"Yeah, well maybe if he weren't so useless: he'd have friends", a now 14 year old Katsuki Bakugou whisper-shouts to one of his cronies who felt inclined to laugh along.
[name] was sitting nearby with an irk mark visible on her temple, she didn't like the way Bakugou talked about Midoriya, not at all.

However, a skittish Izuku was cleaning his desk as some not-so-nice comments were written upon it.


"Oi, Izuku," a voice called out, "why don't you stand up for yourself?" The green haired boy turned around and locked eyes with [name] who was now standing close behind him.
"Ahh, [name]! I-," Izuku wanted to tell her why he put up with Bakugou's bullying, but, he was at a loss for words, "I don't know why I can't stand up for myself, maybe it's just that Kacchan's always so mean to me, and I've just sort of- gotten used to it?" Midoriya was always so humble, and it pissed Hatsuyuki off, a lot. "Yeah, well, if I were you, I wouldn't take his shit", she said, nodding at the blond boy. "But, a-aren't you two friends?", Midoriya questioned. "Yeah? Doesn't mean I wouldn't beat the crap out of him if he were talking smack about me.", Hatsuyuki explained. "I'm not as brave as you, [name]-san, I have difficulty standing up for myself..." [name] sighed. "Listen, I get it, okay? But, I'm not brave, I just don't take anyone's bullshit. I'm not any better than him", she indicated to Katsuki, "so don't glorify me when I don't deserve it." 

Hatsuyuki's stoic and cold face softened as she spoke these words to Midoriya, and he noticed it. "Did you need to get that off your chest?" he questioned. [name] smiled as she looked up at him. "Yeah, I think I did. Thanks idiot," she said, standing up and walking out of the classroom as she saw the time. 

[name] walked down the halls towards the front reception. She got the rest of the day off as she got to leave to take a look at her new school. She hadn't told anyone, not even Bakugou, but she was moving schools and she only had until the end of the week to tell him and then she was gone.
