Her mind raced a mile a minute. The rays of sun beating down on her body. The nervousness that gnawed at her heart.
A deep breath.
and then another.
Chest rising and falling as she prepared herself.
What if she failed?
What would she do?
She told herself not to think this way. He said she could and that she deserved it.
The nervousness disappeared, her eyes gazing upward.
"Izumi! You dumbass we're gonna be late!" a smack on the back of her head destroyed her piece of mind. The noise of several students climbing the stairs, their faces carrying several different expressions. Anticipation, anxiousness, excitement... they all ranged but the ash-blond in front of her held a look of anger in her ruby red eyes.
"Katsumi! I told not to hit me!" Izumi shouted in protest at her friend's impatient nature.
"Tsk..."
"Katsumi..." another stern voice joined the party, Shoya Todoroki, the dual-color haired girl glared at the blond. "You're too loud." Her warning had nothing to do with Izumi, rather it was the stares the pair received.
Though the intent behind those stairs ranged widely, from jealous looks from girls and horny perverted looks from some boys. The three of them paid none of the stares any mind as they climbed the steps to U.A. Today of all days was the entrance exam. Although offered an exclusive get out of jail free card by her parents Izumi opted against such a thing. She wanted to prove her strength on her own.
"Where are your brothers?" Voicing her concern she noticed the lack of two girl's other half.
"That piece of shit took your dad's recommendation just so he doesn't have to do this one!" Katsumi popped a few explosions in her hands, "He's a fucking bitch!"
"Shoto took our father's recommendation." Always the opposite of Katsumi, Shoya's silent voice made sense of Shoto's absence.
Scratching the back of her head, Izumi's sweat dropped, "Weren't they the ones boasting about how they were gonna get the #1 spot on the exam?"
"Yeah, until they heard you weren't going the recommendation route." Walking up the stairs Katsumi placed her hands behind her head, eyes looking at Izumi who was at her right side.
It made sense... she didn't want to boast but her quirk or... quirks were unbelievable. It was almost a given that she'll get the first-year representative spot. Not to mention her training with her Grandfather Gran Torino and her father. 'This is...' Izumi's thoughts got caught in her mind, her leg throbbing. "Tsk..." she stopped walking, catching the other girls' attention.
"Izumi?"
"It's my goddamn leg!" Her teeth gnashed, even after it healed, that sniveling fucking bastard was still causing her trouble. Always reminding her that he had existed in the first place. She felt a sense of pain radiate from the large scar that marked the side of her shin. Her comment got a nod of understanding, Shoya going to rub Izumi's back. It only took a few seconds to the girl to pull herself together. "Come on lets do this."
