Trial by Fire

Oh, it is on Boom Boy! (2)

Chapter 2

    The bell rings, signaling that class is over. While everyone piled out of the classroom, I stayed behind to walk with Katsuki. "So, I met the so called idiot Deku that you've been talking about. I don't understand why he annoys you so much, he's a sweet guy." Bakugo look at at me with a face that basically said 'really? You don't see it?' I giggle before giving him a little shove.

    "You don't know him like I do Tess, he's an annoying nerd but." He pauses before continuing, "he can be optimistic and caring." As Katsuki says this I can't help but smirk while he subtly complimented his childhood friend.

    "Katsuki Bakugo, did I just hear you compliment Deku? The main person who you complain to me about daily? I didn't know that the Katsuki had a soft side for someone other than me." I tease.

    "Shut up Tessa! No, I did not! Come on, class is starting soon." Bakugo says reluctantly as he marches ahead in front of me. I shake my head smirking, before following after him off to the Foundational Hero Studies training yard for the next class.

-o-

    The challenge or assignment that All Might had planned for us was to race each other across a piped factory yard. I eagerly look over to Bakugo, hoping to challenge him, but he was too busy glaring at Midoria. 'Poor kid.' I think to myself before walking over to Bakugo, tugging his arm, and dragging him behind me.

    "You will not be picking on him today Katsuki. Instead, you'll compete against me." He grumbles something along the lines of 'he deserve it' in reply but doesn't argue back nonetheless.

    As I turned to walk over to All Might to inform him that me and Bakugo would like to go first, the whole class stared at me in shock. "What? Is there something on my face?" I questioned, not understanding why I'm receiving all these stares from everyone as they're speechless. It's not long until Kirishima speaks up.

    "Sorry Tessa, we're just shocked that Bakugo didn't yell at you. I mean, considering he just met you today and you pulled him away without being yelled at or blown to pieces; It's a rare sight to see." I now looked shocked and a little mad at Bakugo, 'he's been doing that to them?' I wondered before replying.

    "Well, you're not entirely wrong with that statement. Even though he does have the tendency to insult everything that breaths, he also favorites a few people. I for one, am one of the few. I'm sure if you take some time to get to know him He'll open up more to you a bit more. Sure, that may include forcing him to do things in order to get him to open up a little. Now, he may not express that he's taken a liking to you, but he respects you; I've heard a couple of things about you all from him. I've only met him a couple months ago around the time of the sports festival, but he's become like a brother to me. Plus, he's learned not to piss me off. So, he kind of has to deal with it when it comes to me."

    I look up to see that half of the class is taking notes, I look around even more confused than before, "Where did you get the papers and pens from?"They all point to Momo who looks down and scratches her head nervously. I cover my mouth as I let out a small chuckle, 'have they really not thought of this?'

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when Bakugo shouts at me, "Tess! Are we racing or not?" I sigh before meeting up with him at the staring point, 'it sees like he has already asked All Might for me.' I'm a bit relieved that he wasn't there when I talked to the rest of the class about getting close to him. As I prepare myself to beat Bakugo, I can't help but look over my shoulder to him before doing a bit of trash talking. "Try to not be too slow Katsuki, I don't want to wait too long at the finish line with out you."

    Bakugo grits his teeth before replying, "In you dreams loser." With that I smirk as the signal goes of and we take flight. Bakugo uses his blasts to propel himself through the air, while I use my wind quirk to carry myself across the course. I pull the wind currents to push me forward and I surpass the explosive ball of anger I call a friend. It doesn't take too long before I reach the finish line where All Might stood and Bakugo followed shortly after.

"You owe me Oreos for wining Katsuki." I say as I pass by him, feeling his heated gaze on me as I making my way to watch the rest of our class. When I reach the rest of my classmates, they comment on how good I did and congratulated me for beating Bakugo in our short yet fast race.

Second chapter let's gooooo! Although, i am getting really mad at wattpad's copy and paste feature because I'm copying from my word document that i write on before here. i do that just incase my story gets deleted but when i go to paste it here i've got to indent everything -_- Anyways, I thank you all for supporting me and my stories so far.
