The sun filtered through the curtains of Vespera's dorm room, casting soft, golden rays over the cluttered space. Her bed was half-made, with blankets lazily tossed aside, while her desk was covered with textbooks, notes, and scattered accessories. It was the usual morning chaos before heading out for the day.
Vespera stood in front of her closet, chewing on her lip as she carefully considered her options. Today wasn't about hero training or schoolwork; they were heading to the city's largest mall, a chance to relax and have some fun. *Arcades, food, shopping,* she thought, her mind racing through the possibilities of what the day would bring. She wanted to look good but also keep it casual enough to be comfortable.
She flipped through hangers, brushing past her usual hero attire and a few dresses before landing on a tan long sleeved top and a pair of low-rise jeans with a dark wash. Vespera slipped them on, the denim fitting to her perfectly, as she looked in the mirror getting a glance at the full outfit. She nodded in approval, grabbing a pair of black shoes and slipping a few bracelets on.

"Yeah, yeah, give me five!" Vespera called back, rolling her eyes with a small smile. She rushed to the bathroom for a quick touch-up, swiping on some lip gloss and lightly running her fingers through her curls to give them extra bounce. One final glance in the mirror, and she felt satisfied.
When she stepped out of her room, she found Mina waiting, bouncing on her heels with excitement. "You look cute!" Mina said, giving her a once-over before linking arms with her. "Come on, everyone's already downstairs."
Together, they made their way down the hall, passing by various classmates who were also gearing up for their day out. Bakugo was grumbling something about crowds, Todoroki seemed indifferent but followed along, and Kirishima was already talking about how he was going to crush everyone at the arcade.
The group finally gathered near the front entrance of the dorms. Kaminari was leaning against the door frame, chatting with Sero and Jirou. When he spotted Vespera, his eyes lingered for just a moment, flashing a quick grin. "Lookin' sharp, Ves. Ready to lose at some game?"
Vespera smirked, raising an eyebrow as she walked past him. "In your dreams, Denki. You'll be begging for mercy."
Kaminari laughed, but there was a hint of interest in his eyes. "We'll see about that."
"Alright, everyone ready?" Iida's voice boomed as he clapped his hands together, taking his role as class rep seriously. "Let's make sure we all stick together, and—"
