It was like any other day at U.A, I stuck to my corner seat in class and kept to myself. I naturally didn't stand out much since I was quiet and introverted. My quirk also wasn't the flashiest so it was guaranteed I wouldn't get much attention and I liked it that way.

So why did I decide to become a hero? Well, when I saw passionate people pursuing that field, I wondered what it would be like to feel just as passionate about something. And I just happened to end up in the hero class that way, since my Quirk and martial arts history suited hero work the most.

As I was lost in my random thoughts about life and space here or there, someone approached me.

"Yua-Chan, here's the printout for the lesson today. I saw that you didn't grab one."

I smiled sheepishly (although it was hard for others to tell that I was smiling), "Thanks Ochako-Chan, I was lost in thought. Like always."

Uraraka giggled, "It's no problem. Try to pay attention next time okay?"

With that, she gave a small wave and made her way over to her friends. Most of my interactions with my classmates were like this. They interacted with me for a short amount of time and then went on their way.

I didn't mind too much. It's not like I had some sob story about "being used to being alone." I just liked being alone. I didn't feel lonely, because my own world was vast enough to entertain and satisfy me.

Even though my classmates spared glances at me or even talked behind my back at times, I didn't really care. I wasn't someone to get easily angered or flustered by things like that. Since I didn't give my attention to others, they didn't give much to me either.

So how did I end up this way?
