Aeri and Jungwon escaped to the cafeteria as soon as they could. Once the humour of the situation disappeared, Aeri was left feeling uncomfortable and restless. How on earth would she be able to look Todoroki in the eye after that?

The twins made sure to eat a lot of iron rich foods to prepare for the battles, knowing they'd probably have to fight with shurikens a lot—and now that they'd been told that the elders in their family were watching, they'd do anything to win just to prove themselves to them.

Jungwon had run off somewhere with Kirishima at the end of lunch, leaving Aeri alone as she was packing her things into her bag. She thought nothing of it really, she didn't expect him to stick with her all the time and she was grateful to be alone for once.

She skipped slightly as she made her way through the hallways of UA, heading back to the classroom to deposit her things before she went to the stadium. There was still around 45 minutes until everything resumed but she was bored and wanted to talk to her dad.

Bakugou was waiting at the end of the corridor, peering around the corner with a troubled look on his face. Aeri walked to his side and placed a hand on his shoulder. He flinched and whipped his head towards her, not having heard her coming. He calmed down when he saw it was someone he was comfortable with.

"What are you doing?" She whispered, trying to look around the corner. She caught a glimpse of green hair before Bakugou pulled her back.

"You're gonna get us caught!" He hissed.

"No i'm not, be quiet." she narrowed her eyes at him and crouched low, looking around the corner to where Midoriya was being confronted by the last person she wanted to see right now—Todoroki. She felt Bakugou's legs press against her back as he leaned forward to watch too.

"Are you All Might's secret love child or something? Your quirks are very similar." Todoroki asked, somehow managing to keep a straight face. Aeri had to place a hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud. Bakugou gave her a warning nudge with his knee.

"No i have nothing to do with All Might, our quirks just happen to look alike," Midoriya answered, though he gave too much away with his eyes, enough to make Aeri wildly suspicious of him.

Todoroki nodded and moved to walk in their direction, Bakugou and Aeri jumped back from the wall before he saw them. The blonde went to make a run for it but Aeri grabbed him and pushed his back against the wall before she pressed herself against him. She put a finger to his lips and Bakugou shuddered as he felt his body become mist. Todoroki walked right past them without so much as a glance in their direction and Aeri waited until he disappeared past the doors before she released her quirk.

"That was so fucking weird." Bakugou scowled.

"Yeah i can't believe Todoroki thinks Midoriya is All Might's son," Aeri agreed with him, moving away from his body now that the coast was clear.

"Not that you idiot, the fucking shadow thing!"

Class 1A sat in their box in the stands as they waited for the pair ups of the matches to be announced. She noticed that the majority of the girls were missing and assumed they were running late so she waited patiently for the matches to begin. Bakugou and Jungwon sat on either side of her, seemingly impatient. She let out a disgusted gasp when her friends ran out of one of the openings dresses in ridiculous orange cheerleading costumes.

"What the fuck..." She said, her jaw open. Two particular male classmates began whistling and cheering and she turned to them slowly, rage burning through her at how disgusting they were. "This was your doing wasn't it?" She asked them.
