new beginnings

"The light from the billboard always shines but it changed twelve times since you went away," -Cigarettes out the Window by TV Girl

It had been a day since you came back from the League of Villains's hideout. Your return had felt more like the first day of school than your real one. You moved into your new dorms, which U.A. had made after the your kidnapping. Many students and teachers welcomed you back with lots of joy. However, unsurprisingly a certain confident blonde had stayed silent. You expected the same to happen the next day, but it didn't go quite as you planned.

Everything went just as normal at school. You hung out with the Bakusquad, mainly around Mina, the majority of the school day. After classes ended, you began to walk back to the dorms with them.

"Hey! We never got to have the game night we were going to have!" Kaminari stuck his head out from behind you and snuck himself in between you and Mina.

"Oh yeah!" Mina exclaimed, stopping in her tracks and pointing her fingers at you. "Let's do it tonight! In the commons!"

The group began to walk forward again. You stuffed your hands into your pockets, and with a closed-eye smile said, "Sure, I'd love too!"

"Since it's in the dorms, why don't we invite the whole class?" Kirishima added in. "I'm sure it would be a lot of fun and a way for you to become better friends with everyone!"

Everyone quickly agreed, and made plans for the game night with the whole class.

By the time you made it back to your dorm room, it was 30 minutes until the planned "party." You threw yourself onto your bed, hoping to get atleast a 5 minute nap before getting ready.

Unfortunately, that didn't work out so well. Your phone started blowing up with buzzes after 5 seconds. Picking it up, you found an incoming facetime from Mina. You slid the green button to pick up, sitting up against the headboard.

"What's up?" You asked.

"What are you gonna wear?!!!" Mina dragged her hands down her face, moaning. "I have no idea what to wear!"

"You act like I know," you laughed, lifting your knees up to your chest and resting your head on your raised kneecaps. "I have no idea what anybody in our class would wear to this."

"Well, I'm guessing just casual," Mina said, ending her groaning fit. "Maybe I'll just wear leggings and a hoodie."

"You'll look good, Mina," you laughed at her whines. "Stop worrying, it'll be okay!"

"Okayyyy," she dragged out her words, "I should probably get going now so I can get ready in time. See you soon!"

"See you soon!" You replied, the both of you waving at your screens before hanging up.

Glancing at the clock, you also had to start getting ready to go down. You rolled off your bed, yawning as your bones and muscles ached.

You moved up to your closet, trying to find what to wear. "Hmmmm," you hummed, grabbing different clothing items and putting them up to your figure in the full-length mirror you had. Eventually, you decided on a sweater with sweatpants.

After a couple minutes, you were fully ready to go to the commons. You headed out your room, making your way to your class.

"Y/N!!!" Izuku shouted once you arrived. "You're here!"

"Well, duh!" You laughed, patting your brother on his back.

"Y/N! Join the game!" Kaminari leaned his head back to look at you from his position on the couch, "We're playing Super Smash Bros! 4 people play and winner stays in!"

"Bet!" You walked over to the couch, sitting where Kaminari was on your left and Mina was on your right.

A few rounds went by, and you were winning them easily. Video games had always been one of your hobbies because you could be lazy while still horribly beating other people.

"I lost, again?" Ojiro passed his remote down to the next person.

"You seem pretty good at this, Y/N," Todoroki stated, "how do you do it?"

You sat with your legs across Mina's lap, your back leaning against Kaminari's right arm. "Umm, I don't know I just do it I guess!"

"Interesting," Iida said.

Another round ended with you winning once again, but you gave your remote to the next person in line to play. You said to your class, "I'm gonna go to the bathroom and get some food real quick, I'll be back!"

You walked over to the restroom which was down a few hallways and not visible to the common room. You went to the bathroom, washed your hands and exited to get some food.

However, before you could make your way back to your class, a shadow creeped up behind you. The figure put both of their hands on either side of your head against the wall. Looking up, your eyes got covered in blonde hair and you saw the boy who was pinning you to the wall.

"Bakugo?!" You gasped, attempting to get him off of you. "What are you doing?"

He placed his hand over your mouth silently. "Be quiet," he tilted his head to the right, "Meet me outside the dorms. You have 5 minutes."

He released his hand from your mouth, and started to say, "Um-" but you got cut off as he briskly left you alone in the hallway.

"What the fuck?" you muttered to yourself, questioning whether your interaction was real or a dream. You pinched yourself, Yep, definitely real.

Thoughts instantly started flooding your brain, and you tried to piece through them and find answers. Why did he do that? What did he mean? Why does he think he can tell me what to do? What does he want outside the dorms? Why did he have to pin me against the wall in an empty hallway to tell me?

You shook your head, shaking your thoughts to the back of your mind. Now, you had to decide whether to go follow him or not.

On your way back to the commons, you made up your mind. You announced to the group, "Hey guys! I'm gonna go to bed now, bye!"

Everyone said their goodbyes, but only one thing was in your mind. If you were ever going to mend your old friendship, you couldn't pass up this opportunity.
