     You're breathing heavily as you rest your hands on your knees.  Your bangs, refusing to stay put and behave themselves, fall in front of your face, completely obstructing your view as you hang your head. 


     'Stupid,' You think. 'Shirokiro Kazume, aged 14, first day of high school at UA High, the most prestigious hero school in Japan, and you can't even walk the three miles to get here without collapsing.' 

     Attempting to tame your bangs, you sweep them to the side and pull the strands behind your ear. Blowing out your cheeks heavily, you dust off your green uniform skirt. You straighten yourself back to a standing upright position, while taking a look around you. A mass of people in odd lines are walking towards a towering building to your left. 


'UA High,' You mutter, gazing at the huge glass building in the shap of a 'u'.
Continuing on your way, you determinedly march towards your school. You look around at the students gathering near you as you approach the mass.
A small, timid-looking boy with fluffy green hair is staring at the building, not different from what you were just doing. Looking at him makes you chuckle a bit. 

'From the looks of it, he must be a first-year too.'

You decide to head in his direction to talk to him, ignoring whatever your anti-social self says.
Slightly diverging from your direct path to the door of the school, you walk towards the boy.
Out of nowhere, a male figure looms over you as he bumps into your shoulder. 

"WATCH IT, YOU B*TCH!" 

Startled and upset, you look up at the rude person who shouted at you.
He is tall, about 178 centimeters, or five foot, eight inches. He is lean and muscular, a handsome build but...
'He's got a horse face.' 

You try not to laugh at the spiky-haired ash blonde in front of you, his lips curled back to reveal his clenched teeth. 

"YOU GOT A PROBLEM, YOU F*CKIN' EXTRA?!?" 

The boy's shouting attracted a couple of people's attention as they walked by.
You look up at him with a steely expression and say, 

"Yeah, your rude horse's *ss is in my way. Move, unless you're gonna apologize for bumping into me."

The boy visibly angered, his eyes becoming slits, his tie flowing.

"FIGHT ME RIGHT NOW, YOU F*KIN' SHORTY!!" He exploded, leaning over to shout in your face. 

'Now you've gone and made me mad...' 

"Who're you calling shorty, you dumb*ss?!" I retorted.

"YOU, DUMB*ss!! FIGHT ME!!" 

With that the blonde dropped his backpack off his shoulder and charged you, hands held out, glowing orange.
'Crap.' 

You stood your ground, waiting for the last second, then side-stepped the rushing attacker, kicked your leg out and swept his feet out from under him as he face-planted into the dirt.
Immediately, he shoved his palm into the ground, pushing down in order to pull his legs around in a circle, heaving his body up into a low sqatting position and shooting up to a standstill.
His right arm twitched as he used the other to wipe his face.   

" YOU.. YOU F*CKING B*TCH!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, his face contorting with rage. "I'LL KILL YOU!!!"

He crouched back to shoot straight at you again, pulling his left arm back to swing a left hook towards your cheek. Noting he was left-handed, you side-step again to the right while pushing his fist to the side, avoiding the punch. Instantly, you realize your mistake as you turn to see his right hand, glowing orange, extended above your head.
'Crap.'

You pull your arms up to shield your head in an 'X' position as an explosion 'explodes' from the raging teen's hand. The blast hurls you backwards, flying through the air. Your hands immediately fall to your skirt, attempting to stop it from blowing up in front of this short kid with weird, purple hair.   

You flip as you prepare for impact, digging your toes into the ground and dragging your fingertips through the dirt to help slow your momentum.
Standing up, filled with rage, you searched for the orange-handed prick, only maddened more to realize he had disappeared into the crowd. 

'That JERK! He has the nerve to lash out and fight me, then just WALKS AWAY?!?' You explode inside your head. You brush yourself off for the second time today, muttering to yourself while you attempt to stand up. Hearing footsteps, you look up to see the green-haired broccoli boy running at you. 

"Are you okay?" He shouts at you, still a couple meters away.

"Yeah, I gue-" 

You cut off as you see the boy trip and stumble over, about to bite it.
You shout, realizing you can't stand up in time to rush over and help him.
Just before he falls, a girl with brown hair in a floaty, long bob with cute bangs taps him on the shoulder. Instantly, the boy stops midair, his nose not even millimeters from the ground. He floats higher until he can stand. 

"I'm so sorry about that!" The girl blurts out. "I just thought it would be a bad omen for you to fall right before the test!" She said,her face flushing. 

"Ahh! It's alright! " he rambled in response. "Um, what I mean to say is thank you for saving me," he finally said, rubbing his hand across his nape, face just as flushed as the girl's.
His eyes widened, as if remembering something. 

"Oh! That's right!" 

He turned back to you, careful not to trip again, and held out his hand. 

"Are you okay?" 

You smile as you notice his freckles arranged in the shape of a diamond on either pink cheek. Grabbing his hand, he helps pull you up off the dirt. You dust off the back of your skirt while thanking him. 

The girl turns back toward us, saying over her shoulder, "I've got to go, see you later! Good luck on the entrance exam!" And with that, she disappeared into the crowd. 

"We should get going too, Midoriya-kun," you say. 

"Ah, ri- hey! How'd you know my name?" He asked, bewildered. 

"Simple," You reply, "It's written on your notebook." 

"Ah, right!" He held out the tattered, burnt notebook with water-damaged pages. You could clearly see the words 'For my future' written on it, as well as his name. 

"Well, see you later," You say, running for the entrance of UA. "Good luck!" 

"You too! " Midoriya says, running towards the door as well.
You smile, thinking of what a good omen it is that you met those two.
'Let's try our best.'

Author's note:
Please remember this is in the standard Japanese format so I am writing the last name before the first name. By you calling broccoli boy 'Midoriya-kun', that means you know him, but aren't close. If the person says it is okay, or if you consider them a friend, you can call them Izuku-kun, or maybe just Izuku cuz I'm lazy and will probably omit it. Hope this helps you.
