Opposites Attract

Annalise

"YOU IDIOT GO BACK TO RECOVERY!" I shout as my father stood in the doorway of class, wrapped up to the point you couldn't see his face.

My father ignored me and started walking to the front of the classroom causing me to huff in irritation, "My well being is irrelevant. What's more important is that your fight isn't over yet. The UA Sports Festival is about to start."

"UGH! Why would you scare use like that!" The class all shouted as I leaned back into my chair, I've been looking forward to the Sports Festival since I started at UA.

The sports festival gives us the chance to show off our skills to pros. It's the best way for pros to see what we're made of. And for agencies to keep us in mind for after we graduate. There were so many pros that I wanted to work for. But the Best Jeanist would be awesome to work for.

He was my favorite pro when I was younger just because I thought he looked funny. Which he does, but that's beside the point. Most kids looked up to All Might when they were younger, but I looked up to him. He was awesome.

"Let's go kick some ass!" Kirishima shouted causing Kaminari to put his hand against his face.

"Wait a second." Kaminari said and Jiro started, "Is it really such a a good idea to hold the sports festival so soon after the villains snuck inside?"

"They could attack once we're all in the same place." Ojiro mentioned.

My father sighed as I leaned forward in my seat, pressing the front of my body against the desk, "Apparently, the administration thinks this is a good way to show that the threat has been handled and our school is safer then ever. Plus they're beefing up security compared to past years. This event is a huge opportunity for all students at UA. It's not something we can cancel because of a few villains."

"Uh, I'm sorry but why not?" Mineta asked and you could practically hear the fear in his voice, it's funny, "It's just the sports festival."

"This isn't just the sports festival, this is like the most important thing for first years and stop starring at me like that you pervert!" I say trying to keep my cool but loosing it by the end.

"Calm down." My dad said looking at me before continuing, "Our sports festival is the most watched events in the entire world. In the past, everyone obsessed over the Olympic games. But then quirks started appearing. Now the Olympics have been drastically reduced in terms of scale and viewership. For anyone who cares about competition, there's only one terminate that matters. The UA Sports Festival."

"That's right and the top heroes everywhere will be watching. This is where you get scouted." Yaoyorozu said and I nodded.

"Sure, unless you're dead." Mineta pointed out and if everyone else wasn't in the room I totally would drop kick his ass out the window, what a buzz kill.

"She's right, after graduating a lot of people join pro agencies as a sidekick." Kaminari said.

"Yeah, but that's as far as some people go." Jiro said, "They miss their chance or go indie and stay eternal sidekicks. Actually that's probably where you're headed. You're kinda dumb."

"It's true that joining a famous hero agency can garner you greater experience and popularity. That's why the festival matters. If you wanna go pro one day, this event could open the path for you. Once chance a year. Three chances in a lifetime. No aspiring hero can afford to miss this festival. That means you better not slack off on your training. Class is dismissed."

I was sitting on Todoroki's desk in excitement as I started talking about how I was so excited. He just looked up at me as I continued talking. His usual plain expression on his face.

"What agency would you want to go to? I want to go to the best jeaniest, I think he's totally cool." I say as Todoroki looked at me, "I mean wouldn't that be so cool!"

"I'd probably just join my dad's agency." Todoroki said but I could hear a coldness in his voice that made me scrunch my eyebrows together, "What?"

"That's so boring!" I say and he looked at me shocked, "You aren't even considering anything else? I mean yeah you're father is like the number 2 hero and that'd be awesome to sign with his agency. But come on you gotta think of something better than that."

"You really just speak your mind, don't you?" He asked and I nodded with no shame, "So am I walking you home again?"

"Yeah, you should just get used to it. Oooh let's go get a snack too!" I say excited and again I saw his lips twitch.

"What, like a date?" He asked and I could feel my cheeks heat up.

"I mean if that's what you want, but if that's not what you want then no I guess. Honestly I just want to get a good snack, but now that I think about it, if you wanted to go out on a date I guess I would be okay with that. I mean I could totally see us, like opposites attract and all that stuff but like I didn't expect-" I just was unsure of where I was heading, but too nervous to stop talking.

"A date." He said simply which shut me up and I nodded.
