There were only a few people in the library at times like this. It was lunch time and the bell had gone about ten minutes ago now, it was the number one rule in the school library that students weren't allowed to eat in here. All you did was grab your school bag, filled with books and uncompleted sheets of work and sat by the entrance to the library with your food.

You snacked on your rice and bread quite quickly and then downed them down with a bottle of water. You had opened the doors and slid through, after having put your bento back inside your bag as you bypassed the teachers with a small smile in greeting. The lady nodded at you, after having seen you here more than you had thought and she you found a seat near the window, against the wall as your bag was placed on the floor under your chair.

The notebook was taken from your bag and you opened it to the right page as you stared at the words. It was for Japanese and you really wanted to complete the work but it was a little difficult. You grabbed a pen from your pencil case and held it in your right hand, ready to write when your eyes narrowed on the words. You followed the letters and waited until it made sense but when you blinked, it only got more puzzling.

The library was quiet and only a few students whispered towards their friends. There were people reading to themselves and others working like you should've been doing and there were kids playing on board games that were provided by the school. There was also laughter and yelling outside where the majority of U.A's students resided at lunch time and at breaks. It got louder in the library for a second when the door opened and then there was another voice.

His voice was a bit high-pitched but you guessed he didn't realise that he was that loud when his friend stopped and shushed him quickly. The other boy; you saw him through the spaces of the bookshelves, was blushing a little when he looked around to see if he had gotten unwanted attention. You smiled to yourself when you saw that he sighed in relief as no one saw.

He had black hair but it had a tinge of green, it looked good though, like it was almost natural and he was following another students as he walked away though you didn't see him.

You had looked back to your work, watching the empty spaces that you were required to fill and you sighed to yourself. You could feel a tiny pain in the front of your forehead and you knew you couldn't do the work no matter how much your tutor told you to try.

You heard the boys again and there was a chair scrapping behind. The table you sat at seated six people though you stayed on the edge by the window and behind your table, there was a another that seated four people, it was circular as yours was rectangular and you heard the but with the black hair speaking lowly, "Hey.. Todoroki-kun, how long do we have do be here?"

"I just need reference material for my Japanese assignment. You don't have to be here."

"E-eh? B-But I want to be here.."

"Okay, then sit down and lower your voice." The other boy's voice was low as he made himself quiet so he didn't disturb anyone. He was more cautious of his surroundings as he, too, didn't like those loud people in the library who spoke as if they were the only ones there.

He looked around quickly after finding the page he needed and saw a girls back, your [H/C]-coloured hair tied in a messy ponytail when you seemed to pull it in what Todoroki thought was frustration. He saw your shoulders that were raised and tensed but his eyebrows raised as he hadn't seen you before.

He got a piece of paper, a pencil in hand and scribbled while Midoriya tried to entertain himself in some books, 'Do you know who she is?'

Midoriya looked up when he felt his friend nudge him and then his eyes widened at the note, reading it over a few times before looking to Shouto's face, his bi-coloured eyes focused on your back when Midoriya saw you as well.

'I think her name is [Lastname] [Name]? Why?'

You turned when you noticed they were being really quiet, turning back around quickly when Midoriya and Todoroki got a good look at your blushing face when your brain short-circuited at the sight of those eyes; one grey and one blue, that watched you with a calculative look,

'Nevermind.'
