[name]'s eyes darted to the top of the list, making her way down until she reached her name.

second, tied with... todoroki shouto.

she looks one place down and sees spikey's name, much to her enjoyment, and exactly as she planned.

she glances to the blonde, who realized the same and looked over to her as well, glaring daggers at her. [name] sticks out her tongue playfully, but keeps the straight face.

bakugou's face glows with annoyance and sparks his hands but angrily looks away right after.

[name] snorts. i was hoping for more of a reaction but ok.

her eyes shoot back to the list. now who's the unlucky fellow getting kicked on their first day..?

midoriya izuku. shame, i kind of liked him.

"about last place getting expelled," aizawa says, bringing back the attention to him. "there's no one under rank 20, so no one's getting kicked."

"even if there was, it's just a lie," he grins.

most of the students stare in horror. "it was a logical lie, to get you to fully use your quirks."

"it was obviously a lie," yaoyorozu speaks up. "he can't just expell students on the first day."

idiots, [name] thinks. liar, she thinks again, referring to aizawa.

she glances to midoriya who was then being approached by aizawa, being sent to the clinic.

he'd never hesitate to expell a regular student, [name] says to herself. he saw the potential in him too.

whatever, [name] brushes off. maybe it would be better off to paint him as some merciful liar rather than some terror teacher to avoid scaring the rest.

--

walking home alone after class, [name] doesn't remember ever doing so.

back in america, her middle school wasn't of walking distance, so she would always be driven around by a driver.

in japan where the streets are safer, and her house within walking distance, it was best for her to walk home. she liked the serenity too.

her attention is caught by students mingling as they walk a few meters behind her. she takes a quick glance to see it was three from her class, midoriya, iida, and uraraka, if she recalls.

should i... try and make friends?

her head shoots back to its former position, keeping her eyes on the road in front of her.

no, doing so would only accept my mother's forced wishes on me.

she takes a deep breath.

i can't. not yet.
