His teacher continued along as Denki just sat there, his friends known as Bakusquad came over to see his score and joke around. Kastuki Bakugou was the leader of the group and had taken on tutoring Denki. They had studied together for 16 hours that week and Bakugou was sure that Denki would've improved. The Bakusquad comprised of Kastuki Bakugou, Ejiro Kirishima, Hanta Sero, Mina Ashido and Denki, they all came over to Denki's desk smiling and giggling, except Bakugou he had his typical 'leave me alone' face on. Denki didn't even notice them arrive until Mina held his shoulder to look at his score.

"Sooo~ Whatcha get Denks?" Mina questioned, her expression dropped as she  saw the score, the others looked closer and Kirishima and Sero began to joke about it.
"Omg dudeee, How'd you fail so hard brooo" Sero laughed and Mina nudged him.
"Seriously though Kamibro, how do you even do that?" Kirishima chuckled.
Bakugou snatched the paper from Denkis hand and was immediately pissed when he felt the back sheet ripped and saw how crumpled it was.
"WHAT THE HELL DUNCE FACE!?" Bakugou yelled pushing Mina aside and staring Denki down, he immediately stopped yelling when he realised how much Denki was shaking.
"Denki. Calm down." Bakugou said calmly, gently touching his hand, Denki usually responds well to physical touch but this time he tensed and this made Bakugou worry more.
"Oooooo soft Bakugou~" Mina teased but stopped as she saw how much Denki was shaking as well, he hadn't moved since seeing his score. All of Bakusquad went quite as Bakugou knelt by Denkis side and tried to get him to snap out of it, after about 6 minutes then class seemed to notice how serious and quiet Bakusquad were compared to their normal jokes and loudness.
"Hey...? You guys okay..?" Ochoco Uraraka asked with a worried tone. "Your awfully quiet-"
"Stfu pink cheeks." Bakugou demanded, it was very clear now that something was seriously wrong seeing as Bakugou didn't shout. Aizawa walked back in and went to the front of the class to announce something but immediately stopped when he saw how quiet and concerned his loud and chaotic class were. Suddenly, tears began to flow down Denkis face, they wouldn't stop, Bakugou reached out to comfort him but within seconds Denki was hyperventilating. Aizawa rushes over and tells the class to leave the room. Bakusquad and Ojiro stayed put, surprisingly Denki and Ojiro were extremely close friends, no one knew but Ojiro was one of Denkis closest friends.
"Ojiro leave. We can handle this, we're his best friends." Sero said gently but sternly.
"Denki is my closest friend. You have never been of help before therefore I refuse to leave him in this state." Ojiro said bluntly.

Ojiro continued to walk over to Denki, he reached towards the hand Bakugou wasn't holding and pinched his hand, Aizawa sighed as Denki didn't respond.
"... You did it again didn't you Denks..." Ojiro said sadly.
"Did what??" Kirishima asked concerned stringed in his every word. Aizawa looks at Ojiro confused. Ojiro sighs and looks at Denki then at Aizawa.
"He was starting to have a panic attack so he short circuited himself." He said his expression unchanging.
"But that makes him go Dumb Dumb mode! Not this" Mina exclaimed desperately trying to understand.
"Idiots." Ojiro said glancing over them, he even directed it at his teacher. "He shuts himself down and the 'dumb mode' is an act to cover up the pain."
Everything goes silent, not even a breath could be heard, the tension so thick you could cut it with a knife.
