The rest of the day was nothing short of average. Lessons, classwork, thinking, ignoring classmates. The usual. At the end of the day, it was time to study. It went by as quickly as you'd expected. "If anyone has any questions, you can let me know. I'll try to help the best I can." After helping out a little while longer, you were all heading out.

"Oh so where am I going?" Denki asks, not knowing where the dance studio was. You thought for a second. "Let me drive." He furrows his brows. "Can't you just give me the directions?" You don't answer and instead get out of the car. Watching you walk around the front to the drivers side, Denki unbuckles his seat belt. "Okay then.." You guys drive for about twenty minutes before you pull into the parking lot of a very professional looking building.

As the class regroups, you search for keys. "Hold on guys, I have to find my keys." you say, looking through your arm rest. Deku was admiring the building. "Your keys? You have a key to this place?" They all follow you to the door. "I sure do." you say, letting them in. The building was just one huge room with a couple bathrooms and a secret viewing room behind the mirrors, which lined two of the walls. Denki makes faces in the mirror.

"It makes sense since your parents—" You slap his arm. "Oi!" He rubs his arm, being dramatic. "Sorry, geez." Moving on, you roll out two big speakers and set up your laptop to the projector in the room. "Alright. I'm obviously not a professional but I'm gonna show you the video a few times, let you try to copy it while it plays. Then we can go over it slower." Momo raises a hand. "Um. Can we change first? Most of us are in uniforms." You point to the bathrooms. "Go on." They all disperse. Ten minutes later, they were all ready.

"Boys. Girls." you say, getting off the floor. They separate and you play the video. For three times, you watch them try to copy it while it played. "Alright," you finally say, "Let's do this." You weren't all that enthusiastic while showing them the steps. "Now boys, you turn the opposite way and—" You keep teaching them and run through the dance every time something new was added.

They had questions too. "How do I keep going back and forth?" "I can't get this part!" "Wait what comes next?" "I forgot.." And you had your critiques. "No no, make the hair flip bigger girls." "No guys, you have to glide, not step." "Bakugou, you're late there." You guys worked until it was getting dark. They'd gotten better and better. It was relieving for you to know it wouldn't be as hard as you expected.

With the group's fatigue in mind, you decide to wrap things up. "Alright, one more time and then we can all head home?" you question. Murmurs of agreement go around. "Great." After the last run through, everyone gets going. Today, parents would be around to carpool home. Denki follows you to your car. "So are we still on for tonight?" he asks. His question catches Sero's attention and he eavesdrops. You think. "Um, yeah sure what were you thinking we do this time?" He shrugs. "I was gonna let you decide again." You nod. "Alright. You should drive this time." Soon, everyone was taking off to their destinations.

Sero got to talking to the rest of the Bakusquad. [Which includes Jirou]

Studying with Denki was less time today, since both of you were tired. And fortunately, you weren't too tired to take him home afterwards. However, being tired didn't hide Denki's frustration from your eyes. He still seemed very bothered at times, but you left it alone.

The rest of your day was spent sleeping. But Denki's wasn't over yet. He had dinner with his mom before his dad got home. When he went to his room, he opened one of the group chats exclusively for the Bakusquad members. There were half a million notifications.

After back reading, he learned of Sero's assumptions. He had thought that you and Denki had something going on, even though Denki has a girlfriend. Kaminari hurries to shut them down. He hadn't wanted to tell them about the extra help you'd been giving him but he didn't want to look like a cheater either. So, he came up with something.

"NO WAY GUYS! I AM NOT A CHEATER!"

...he messages. Immediately, they wanted him to back up his story. "Y/n has some electricity problems at her house and I've been using my quirk to help fix it." Sero counters him. "But she was asking what you guys were gonna do tonight?" Denki realizes he had to have been listening in. "She meant which part of the house we would fix. Bc there are issues in a few places." Mina wasn't sold yet. "Has she never heard of an electrician? Why didn't her parents call one?" He makes up a lie. "Too expensive." That made all of them back off.

"Oh so she can't afford it? Maybe we could help her?" Kiri suggests. Denki refuses. "NO! I wasn't supposed to tell anyone. I'll handle it. dw" They all settled and move on.

The next day, you show up to school in the same sort of outfit. Leggings. Hoodie. Head wrap. Eye patch. You were minding your own business on the way outside during lunch period, music blasting through your headphones.

Someone runs up to you, trying to get your attention. You feel them tap you and turn around. "Yes?" "Hey, Y/n." A small group. "Can we talk to you for a sec?"
