My Hero Academia: EMTs

Strange Equals- They Finally Meet!

Hotaru:

"They're here! They're here!" I shout as I jump up and down. I look out the common room window and see them coming to the building with their suitcases. "Bakugo they're here!" I shout again as my mentor reads his math book instead of looking up.

I look back into the common room area at my fellow 1-A alumni- like that word, alumni? I just learned it!

Anyway, I look around at the TVs, the couches, the... everyone sitting around doing homework in the middle of a weekend day. I typically wait until five because I have REAL stuff to do. Things like working out, playing sports and video games with Bakugo and his crew, or playing games with Ochaco. The rest of the students are so dull. They seem to do the same things, but they don't want to do much with me, so for me, it's boring.

But as I see THEM walking up the sidewalk, I know it won't be the same. Even Bakugo and his friends only want to work with me for so long. For instance, they're so much stronger than me, so they don't like competing with me in anything- cause we all know they're not really competing; I'm just being humored or coached. But finally, I see someone against whom it will matter how hard I try when I play a sport or compete in trivia. Fellow middle schoolers!

From a distance, I see them as Bakugo stands over me with his arms folded.

Henry, as I can see, has brown hair and a slightly reddish tan. He's lean, which is easy to tell in his purple tank top and black jeans. I don't know his eye color just yet—wait... hazel. It's hard to tell at first because he keeps his black cap pulled over his face, which has to limit his vision a bit, but to each his own.

Then there's Tori, with reddish brown hair, pale skin, chubby, and a little smaller. She's wearing a pink cardigan over a white shirt and blue jeans. I like her casual style, like my red sweater and blue jeans.

I'm shaking with anticipation at meeting them, and I look up at Bakugo with a grin. He raises an eyebrow but shrugs, saying. "Well, you've certainly made progress in the social department. You need me to come with you?"

"Nope! I got this!" I then open the door, run down a few steps, and down a brick path.

Wow, even though I was on the first floor of the dorms, these two looked a lot smaller from there. Um... maybe it's better to back down before-

"Hey, do I know you?" Henry asks.

I bite my lip. Maybe I should have asked Bakugo to come with me? "Um... probably not too well," I say.

"Oh hey!" Tori perks up. "It's that nice, quiet girl!"

"Yeah, you're um... um... I was, um... told who you are, right?" Henry asks.

"Hotaru," Tori says, then pats her brother on the shoulder. "You'll get it." He looks down and away on that note.

"Rrrright..." I say, not sure what that interaction meant. "Anyway, c'mon, you're both carrying big black suitcases; I guess you're moving in like they say." I peek over their shoulders, "Though I wonder where the rest of your stuff is." Indeed, they both have backpacks and decent-sized suitcases, but that's it- and school will be in session for at least another six months! "Well, the dorms are this way, so follow me!" I say, putting on my best friendly smile, a toothy grin I'm told no one can mistake.

I start walking towards the 1-A dorms, and Henry immediately follows as I head back to my school home. However, I notice quickly that I'm soon alone. I look back to see Tori holding her brother's arm. "That's 1-A. Henry and I are assigned to the top floor of 1-B, opposite sides of the top floor."
