Sakura Todoroki goes to UA High School with her twin brother Shoto. With a friendly personality, it's easy for her to make friends, but she faces challenges with Katsuki Bakugo, the aggressive kid in class. With the two of them constantly fighting...
It was soon time for the tournament and the whole class joined me in the booth until each battle was announced one by one. Shoto won the first round by surrounding Sero and half of the stadium in ice. I sat there, stunned by his actions. He seemed upset and went overboard. I went down to get ready for my fight and waited by the entrance as Shoto walked in.
"What was that?" I asked him.
"Nothing." He responded. "Just letting off some steam."
"... Are we keeping secrets now? I know that something happened before your fight. You used your fire for a few seconds before you were told to start. What was that about?"
"We'll talk later. They're about to call you in." He walked away and I looked back at him before walking out to the cheering crowd.
I walked to the platform to meet up with Aoyama and took off my shoes before waiting for them to tell us to start. I knew what Aoyama's quirk was and I really didn't want to drag this fight, when I knew that I could beat him pretty easily. "Let's just make this quick, Aoyama! It's been a long day!"
"I agree!" He yelled. "But don't be so cocky! I'm planning on winning!"
"Then, no hard feelings!" We were told to start and Aoyama immediately started shooting his belly button laser at me. I dodged and then started flying towards him and dodging his lasers. I quickly landed a punch that knocked him out and heard the crowd cheering as Midnight announced that I had won.
I went back inside to join the others, but I stopped when I saw Endeavor standing there. "That was great." He smiled. I looked down and soon heard him huff. "Look at me when I'm talking to you. You're being disrespectful." I slowly looked back at him and watched his expression soften. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm proud, and I wish Shoto was more like you. I just wish he would stop being stubborn and use my quirk."
"It's his quirk." I unintentionally talked back, causing anxiety to quickly fill me up.
"You two got your hot side from me."

"We got it from you, but that makes it our quirk too. It's not just yours anymore..." I couldn't believe what I was saying. I haven't talked to him like that in years and although I was scared to, it felt relieving. I didn't want to be scared of him anymore. I didn't want to feel weak anymore. I just wanted to be my usual self all the time. "... and while we're on the subject, you know why Shoto doesn't use his hot side in a fight. He... hates you."
"Well, you use the quirk. You don't hate me?"
"... No, I'm just scared of you. You know that."
"... I don't want you to be. Don't you think it's time for you to let go of the past and move on?"
I scoffed once he said that. I couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. I quickly felt my anxiety turning into anger. I was ready to snap. "Let go of the past and move on? Let go of the years of abuse?!" I yelled on the verge of tears. "Because of you, Shoto and I didn't have a normal childhood! We were scared of being physically disciplined anytime we did something wrong, and Shoto!... My dearest brother Shoto got the worst of it, because he not only got hit by you, but his face was scarred because of our disgustingly weak mother and I hate her for it! I fucking wished that she'd die like Toya!" I suddenly felt a hard slap against my face and the shock paralized me.
