The Phoenix {A BNHA Fan Story}

Chapter One: Entrance Exam

She usually had a decent temper and a fair amount of patience, but the green haired boy sitting two rows ahead of her was really testing both of those. His endless muttering was quickly getting on her nerves and by how tense those around him had gotten, they were definitely riding that limit when it came to their patience as well.

Soraka was relieved when suddenly, a blue haired boy stood up. He pointed out that the papers had four bots while Present Mic, who was on stage announcing everything, had only gone over three. When he then pointed out the green haired boy for his muttering, a hushed giggle went over the crowd. She just shook her head while also silently thanking the blue haired male for making him stop.

After the meeting, everyone who had come to take the entrance exam was filling out the room and it seemed to take ages until her row finally got to go up the stairs and out into the larger area. With a quick glance around, Soraka noticed that some people had already changed out of their uniforms and into more appropriate workout attire. There was a long line to both of the bathrooms that upon further inspection, wrapped down through the hallways. Not wanting to risk being late to her area, she went off to find another place to change that was less crowded.

This turned out to be an even worse idea than just waiting, since as soon as she found an unoccupied bathroom, she also found herself lost. She groaned out loud at her carelessness while locking a stall door behind her and changing into some comfortable, light gray workout pants that clung to her body and a plain, loose, black tank top that had a hole in the back so big that there might as well have not been a back to it at all. Her short black heels were swapped out for white tennis shoes and her red hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, tight enough to stay up but loose enough for some stray hairs to fall back in place on the sides of her face. Making sure she had everything and wasn't leaving anything behind, she left the stall and the bathroom.

She stopped just outside the bathroom door to look around, her eyes searching for any sort of sign that might guide her back to where she needed to be. She couldn't spot one anywhere, causing her to bite her lower lip and start walking in the direction she came. She had taken multiple different turns to get here and didn't exactly remember how to get back, she had even gone far enough to where the voices had died down.

"Examenes you have five minutes to get to your area's!"

The booming voice of Present Mic cut on over the speakers of the school and his words sent her into a panic. She ran to the windows, searching for any way to get them open without breaking them with no luck. There were three ways this could end now.

One, she could run and find her way there at the last second, but already be drained of some of her stamina.

Two, she could run and never find her way there, ruining her chances completely.

Lastly, she could ram herself through the window, breaking it. She would get to her area on time but would most likely set off alarms, delay the exam, and have to pay for the damage.

That last option was definitely not going to happen, she thought as she ran through the halls. Everyone would be outside by now so she couldn't just stop to listen for voices inside, which is why she was caught by surprise when she heard a small murmur of voices inside a room, the door sealed. She didn't know who was in them but she was desperate to get where she needed to be so without giving it much thought, she grabbed the handle and pulled the door open to find what she assumed to be the teachers sitting around.

They stared at her with just as much shock as she was staring at them with. After a moment of hesitation, she quickly bowed.

"I'm so sorry! I got lost and I'm just trying to find my way back!"
