Kai [Bakugou x OC]

Chapter 6

9th April |The next day

I lifted my head from my desk. Apparently, I'd slept there while trying to do homework. Well, 'slept'... It wasn't a very good sleep at all.

Taking the tilted reading glasses off my face and rolling the knots out of my neck and shoulders, I stood up from the desk in my room. I walked to my closet, taking out my uniform.

Grey's uniform is still in the closet — she's probably still asleep. I ought to be quiet.

So, I tiptoed out of our room and took my shower.

I then made breakfast, packed myself and Noriko some money for lunch, and waited for Grey to finish changing. She finished quickly, and we made off.

As we made our way to school, I noticed a huge gathering of reporters at the gates of UA. It seemed that a few students were stuck and getting harassed.

While I walked over to the crowd, I realised the lack of Grey's presence.

She must've left to avoid feeling too many bodies... Smart, her quirk would probably freak out.

I marched through the crowd, only to immediately regret it.

It was so loud.

My heart began to beat faster, and I felt like I could hear everything around me too clearly.

"WHAT IS IT LIKE WORKING WITH ALL MIGHT AS A TEACHER?"

"WHAT'S THE SYMBOL OF PEACE LIKE IN PERSON?"

"ARE YOU ONE OF ALL MIGHT'S STUDENTS?"

Holy shit, I can not deal with this.

As quickly as I could, I forced my way through the sea of people, grabbed the student in the middle and slung them over my shoulder like a potato sack.

And then?

I strode. I put on my angry face and walked with the greatest deliberation through the crowds of people. With each footstep, my faux confidence and intimidation rolled off my body and pushed the noise and people away from me.

Once I was inside the gates of UA, I stopped and put down the student who I had over my shoulder.

As it turns out, it was a very angry Bakugo.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING RAT?! YOU THINK WE'RE FRIENDS JUST BECAUSE I WALKED HOME NEAR YOU ONCE?? NO! DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME AGAIN!!"

Jeez. I wonder why he's mad. Is he okay? Maybe I shouldn't've helped... I'll ask about it...

"Are you okay?" I asked calmly as I began to walk towards the school building.

"Fuck off."

"Ok then," I walked a little slower and let him get ahead of me. I dawdled up the stairs and wondered through hallways. It was in this time that I realised that the reporter incident was the first or stressful situation I had ever been in without Grey or her support.

"Kai?" I heard a quiet voice.

"Hey, Pipsqueak."

After our simple greetings, I walked to class with Midoriya.

Once we had reached the classroom and taken our seats, Mr. Aizawa began to address the training from yesterday. He spoke about Midoriya's urgent need to learn quirk control and Bakugo's lack of emotional control.

"You need to pick a class representative."

There was a rush of offers and people began yelling out reasons they should be voted for class president.
