2 ||| Off to a Great Start

"What the hell did you just say to me extra? Bakugo asks you raising his voice.

You think for a moment on how to respond. If you use your mind control power now it would look too obvious, meaning you'd need to go about this a different way.

Dammit, using that power would've made this so much easier.

"I called you an asshole. In all fairness you did call me a dumbass first." You say trying to hopelessly reason with the blonde.

Bakugo steps closer to you and while it looks like he's going to say something, his red haired friend jumps in between the two of you, "Hey now bakubro, come on. We were told in an email last week that we're getting a new classmate."

Ashido jumps in from behind you as well, "He obviously didn't read the email. Doesn't give him the right I treat sweet little Mori like that though. She's shy ya know!"

The rest of the class mumbles in agreement and Bakugo steps back grunting, "I read the stupid email, I just forgot. Can't believe they're letting some random join us in the second year. Did you even go to a hero school before this?"

Before this?

You freeze up on the question, thinking of what you were really doing before this. Memories of Shigaraki yelling and abusing you come flooding in your mind. The chill of all for one's voice is whispering in your ear, "Come with me young one, I will take care of you now."

No, stop. Make it stop. I can't have an episode right now.

You try to calm yourself to no avail as your breathing picks up. All hope seems loss until you feel a warm hand on your shoulder. You look over and see a seemingly upset Jirou.

"Are you really that stupid Bakugo? The fucking email told us about her, she's the girl that Hawks rescued. Don't you know anything? Before this she was..." Jirou pauses and looks at you, "She wasn't in a good place, so why don't you try some sympathy asshat."

You look at Jirou with happiness and thankfulness in your eyes. She returns your silent thank you with a slight squeeze of your shoulder before letting go. Looking back at Bakugo, he looks a lot less hostile then a moment ago. He stares at you and you look back taking the chance to focus on him.

"Fuck, she better not cry. Aizawa would fucking kill me."

Oh great, he really cares.

Going against what was in his mind Bakugo looks to you ushering a quiet, "Sorry," before abruptly walking away.

You think about saying something, but know it's in your best interest to stay quiet. The others in the room awkwardly stare for a moment but they too try to put the event behind them. They all slowly return to their conversations, seemingly forgetting what just went down.

You feel a tap on your arm and when you look over you see Ashido smiling, "Hey Mori, wanna go grab a bite?"

You can tell she's trying to make you feel better and you appreciate her kindness so you nod, "Yeah sure, sounds nice."

She starts walking towards the door and you follow. You realize then that Jirou is following silently next to you. You look over at her and she simply nods smiling slightly, "He's a jerk, I'm sorry you had to ho through that already. And I'm sorry I mentioned your past as well."

She looks like she genuinely feels bad, making you worried about how it may strain your blossoming friendship. You shake your head at her, "No worries, I appreciate you ending the situation. And it's okay, I already assumed everyone would know who I was. Well clearly not everyone"
