     The next morning you woke up with a giddy smile on your face and with butterflies in your stomach. You were so excited to get to school to see Todoroki again. But it you weren't only excited to see him. You looked forward to seeing your new friends as well. You quickly got dressed in your uniform, brushed your hair and ate downstairs in the cafeteria. You practically swallowed your breakfast whole as a way to get to school faster. Even your driver, Harada, noticed your unusually perky nature.

"Someone's excited to go to school," he commented with a chuckle. "Is there some sort of event going on?"

"Uh, no, nothing like that," you timidly smiled. "I just woke up on the right side of bed that's all."

"Well I'm glad to see you happy nonetheless."

As your driver pulled up to the school, you felt the butterflies in your stomach turn into wild hornets. Suddenly a feeling of dread washed over you as you began to wonder how the hell you were going to approach him after you two kissed just yesterday. You looked around the school before getting out of the car and made a dash for the front entrance. You ran inside the girls bathroom, deciding to hide there until the bell rang. You didn't want to risk accidentally bumping  into him when you didn't know what to say yet. When there was just five minutes left you got out and slowly made your way back to class.

What should I say to him?

You thought about all the different types of scenarios that could happen between you and Todoroki. In one, he completed ignored you and made fun of you for thinking that the kiss meant something, in another he embarrassingly confessed his love to you in front of the whole class. All of it didn't fit his personality at all. 

"Hey (Name)!" Tsu waved at you. "How was your weekend?"

You mentally kicked yourself as Todoroki noticed you when Tsu called out your name. You sat down in your seat with a nervous smile.

"My weekend was....great actually," you smiled fondly.

"What'd you do?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Uh....just stuff you know."

The bell rang which caught every students attention. Professor Aizawa stood in front of the class with his sleeping bag on. It looked like he had a long weekend considering his large dark circles.

"Everyone listen up, our plan for today consists of a physical exam. Girls and boys will be divided when it comes to personal measurements. Then we will all come together to test your strength and see how you're doing controlling your quirks. Any questions?"

"Alright I can't wait!" Mineta gushed. "If I sneak around I'll be able to see Tsu's nice body, Ochaco's cute legs! Momo's hot rack and (Name)'s-!"

*SMACK*

Both Tsu and Momo had hit Mineta over the head while the rest of the girls in class gave him the stink eye. You rolled your eyes at the little pervert and out of the corner of your eye you saw Todoroki look down at Mineta in disapproval.

"Again I will clarify that boys and girls will be separated for the first portion so anyone who chooses to disobey the rules will be met with harsh consequences," Aizawa stated firmly.

The classroom door opened to reveal Recovery Girl. "Come with me girls, I'll lead you to where your exam will take place," the nurse smiled brightly.

"I'll see you later, Midoriya!" Ochaco waved to the green haired boy.

"O-Oh okay, later!" he blushed.

You were just a few steps away from walking out of the classroom; you wondered if you should say goodbye to Todoroki too. You felt so bad that you hadn't said a single word to him since yesterday! You were about to say something until Tsu pushed you out since you were holding up the other girls. You felt a tug on your heart when Todoroki looked at you confused.
