"So guys, have you decided what pro agency you wanna go for?" Mina asked.

"Mt. Lady's my top choice!" Mineta said. Ew.

"Bakugo." I stood in front of his desk.

"Hm?" He looked up at me.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Best Jeanist." He said bluntly. I busted out laughing.

"What the hell is so funny!?" He stood up immediately.

"G-good luck..." I laughed.

He grumbled, "Where the hell are you going?"

"I'm staying here."

"Huh!?" Mina walked over.

"I got permission from the principal to stay here and study my mom's quirk. Of course, my dad is going to be here helping me train. So, I'm not going to do any fun stuff like you guys." I explained.

"Wow! That's so cool!" Uraraka said.

"That's so stupid." Bakugo said at the same time as Uraraka.

"I- it's not stupid!" I shouted.

"Good luck all by yourself!" He laughed in my face.

"Screw you." I grumbled and left the classroom. It wasn't stupid. He's the stupid one.

A few days later, it was finally time for everybody to split up. Everyone had their own internships.

I stood next to my dad as he talked to my classmates. He even scolded Mina for being improper.

"Bye, Mina!" I hugged her tightly. She hugged back.

"I'll call and text you when I can!" She sniffled. I giggled at her antics.

"Mina, your train." Kirishima reminded the girl.

"Oh, right!" She pulled away from the hug. She waved to us and went off to her train.

"Bye, kiri!" I waved as he left to his train. I waved to Denki as he left as well.

"Bakugo!" I caught up to him as he triad to leave without saying goodbye.

"Bye." He said, turning to face me. I smiled.

"Bye." I said. He gave me a small wave and left as well. Now, I'm alone.

"Izumi. Let's go." My dad called out to me. Well, not completely.

My dad drove me to the school, and I changed into my hero costume.

"Ok, dad. I'm ready." I smirked. He nodded.

We spared for a while, and he taught me a few things. We spent hours outside training until sundown.

"Wow, you two are training hard." A woman spoke up, making me lose my balance. I fell onto my butt.

"Rei? What are you doing here?" My dad helped me up and then walked over to the woman. I followed him and stood next to him.

"I saw you guys training, and I came to say hi." The blonde woman said.

"Dad, who is this?" I asked, looking her up and down.

"Oh, this is Rei. She's the guidance counselor." He said.

"There's a guidance counselor!?" My eyes widened.

"I thought I told you."

"No, you didn't." I huffed.

"Sorry, kiddo." He patted my head.

"You're forgiven." I smiled, "well, I'll leave yall to it." I walked back inside the school building.

I walked into the locker rooms and headed to the showers. I took a shower and changed back into my uniform.

I walked out of the locker room and headed to the faculty lounge. Should I change my hero costume? I feel like I should. I get too hot too quickly. Hm..

I sat down and grabbed my laptop. I put it on the table and opened it up. I looked up my mom. I stared at a picture of her costume. Should I use hers as a reference?

I looked up at a clock. I should get going. It's late anyway. I closed my laptop and stood up. I put it in my bag and headed home.

I stopped at a convenience store and grabbed some candy on the way home.

I stepped inside my apartment and slid off my shoes. I ran down the hall and into my bedroom.

I tossed my bag on my bed and laid on the floor. My cat, Mochi, laid on my chest.

"Hi, baby~" I cooed at my cat. She purred as I pet her. I laid on the floor with her for a while, eating snacks.

I got up and changed into my pajamas. After that, I put my bag on my desk and sat down. I pulled out my laptop and opened it back up.

I studied videos of her fighting. She was... awesome. That's my mom? She's so cool! I took notes on her moves and the ways she fought. I even drew a rough draft of a new costume.

I ended up falling asleep while drawing. The next morning, when I woke up, I was in my bed. I looked around my room, confused.

I shrugged it off and put on a tanktop and some leggings. I put on my running shoes and went on a morning run.

After my run, I took a shower and changed into different clothes. I grabbed my laptop off the charger and put it in my bag. I grabbed my bag and left the house.

I stopped at a cafe and got two coffees and two jelly filled donuts. I ate my donut and took the coffees and the donut to UA.

"Hey, dad." I greeted, stepping into the faculty room. He waved, doing paperwork. I set the coffee and the donut on the table.

"Thanks..." he mumbled, sipping on the coffee.

I walked to the classroom and sat down at my desk. I pulled out my laptop and opened it up where I left off. I clicked on an interview.

"Hahaha! He got so mad!" She laughed. I froze. I felt something falk down my cheek. I wiped it away. A tear?

"Why are you crying...?" I asked myself as tears ran down my face. Was it because of her? How could a laugh sound so nice? How could someone be so pretty? I cried silently.

The next week went by like that. I ran in the morning and studied my mom. Then I trained all day with my dad and then went home and studied more.

I texted Mina all the time. Even if she couldn't respond all the time. She seemed exhausted. I understand that so much.

I even called Bakugo. The call was very interesting... to say the least. I called him, of course.

"What the hell do you want?" He asked rudely.

"Geez, I was just trying to call to ask about how your internship was going." I pouted.

"Why?"

"Cause I'm bored." I sighed.

"Hah! I told you. You're lonely."

"Shut up." I huffed. He chuckled.

"I miss you guys..." I said.

"So you are lonely." He said.

"Of course I am. There ìs nobody to talk to."

"I bet those idiots miss you too." He yawned.

"What about you? Do you miss me too?" It when silent. I was about to say something when he spoke up.

"Yeah. I miss you." My face turned pink.

"Idiot..." I grumbled.

"Whatever..." he grumbled as well. We continued to talk until we both fell asleep on call.

He misses me, too.
