Aizawa ranked all of the students on their performance, Erin getting third place, Bakugou getting fourth. She smiled to herself proudly, congratulating Todoroki on second place.
"I really need to work on my strength, that's what I lack most in." Erin mumbled to herself, lost in thought. "Although, I can't get too muscular. As a female, most of my opponents will automatically think lesser of me. So, if I can try to avoid looking like a fucking tank, I can easily use that as bait." She continued to ramble in a hushed whisper,
"Oi, Snow-white!" Bakugou yelled in her ear, causing her to yelp slightly. "Oh god, don't be like Deku." He scoffed, overhearing all of her rambling.
"If you wanna work on your strength, you can train with me if you want. BUT WE'RE NOTHING MORE THAN TRAINING PARTNERS. I hate your guts, you hate mine. Am I clear?" He yelled, causing Erin to roll her eyes.
"Were you insinuating you thought I saw you as a friend?" Erin scoffed, a soft laugh escaping her lips. "Sure, buddy. How about tomorrow after school? We can meet at Mitzu's Dojo." She offered, earning a small nod from Bakugou.
Kaminari made his way over, a giant grin on his face. "Looks like Bakugou is making a friend, huh?" He teased, jumping back as Bakugou turned to face him.
"I DON'T NEED FRIENDS, PIKACHU!" He yelled, hands up as small explosions sparked at his palms. "But-You should sit with us at lunch. Y'know, just so you're not a loser on your first day." He scoffed, rolling his eyes.
"Bet! A new girl. A pretty one for that matter~" Kaminari cooed, shamelessly flirting with her.
"Your presence alone is a blessing on my sad, sad life. Accept my love or I shall perish, M'lady." He continued to joke, earning a disappointed groan from Bakugou and Todoroki.
"Then perish." Erin stated with a cold stare, only a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Bakugou grinned, as Todoroki chuckled gently.
"Now, if you'd excuse me; I'm hungry." She grinned, making her way back to the changing rooms.
Making her way back to the changing rooms, she found an extremely short purple-haired person following her. She turned around to face them, and they jumped back out of shock.
"Uhh, hi?" Erin questioned, only for the purple-haired midget to take off running the opposite direction.
"Oookay then," She shook it off, entering the changing room.
"Hi! You must be Harper! I'm Mina! We're going to be such great friends I can already tell!!" A pink haired girl was instantly in her face, causing her to close up a little bit.
"Uh, yeah-H-ey, wha-Uhm-" Erin stuttered, instantly making rook between her and the pinkette. "Excuse me, I-need to change," Erin pushed her way past the horned girl, anxiously scurrying over to put her uniform back on.
"Hey, you should come sit with me at lunch! We can talk, get close, talk about that reaaaallly cute boy your always with~" Mina grinned, excitement basically radiating off of her.
Erin swallowed harshly, tensing up. Her fists closed as a way to stop fidgeting. "I-Todoroki? Uhm, I actually-I'll be sitting with Bakugou and Shou-Todoroki." She breathed out anxiously, Mina's sudden extrovertedness startling her.
"Oh!! Okay, maybe some other time. I'll see out around!" She grinned, taking off to go to lunch. Erin shortly followed after, a huff sending the strands of hair in front of her face flying upwards.
While she was walking, she heard footsteps behind her. Looking back, She saw the same purple-hair?ed kid running. They ran into her ass, bumping her forward.
"Hey! Watch it!" Erin said through gritted teeth.
"Sorry!" They said in a lisp, before running off again.
"What the fuck is up with this school?" She questioned herself, finally making it to the cafeteria. Scanning the tons of tables, she found Todoroki and Bakugou, who seemed to be sitting in silence. A few other people sat over there was well, including Kirishima, Sero, and Kaminari.
"Erin! We got you a plate already, come on over!" Kirishima yelled to catch her attention, which she shyly nodded and made her way over to their table.
"Hey guys. Sorry I'm kinda late-Some pink-haired girl tried to make me sit with her. Then, some purple-headed dude groped my ass-" She scoffed, Todoroki tensed as she said her second sentence.
"It was weird-Cause I'm not sure if he meant to, or he just ran into me," She trailed off, as the guys started more conversation.
"Purple-headed? Like, purple balls on top of his head?" Kaminari asked, directing his attention to Erin.
"Mhm." Erin hummed, taking a bite out of the apple that sat on her tray. "Really short, Maybe up to my waistline."
Everyone winced, "That's Mineta. Class perv. Definitely didn't do it on accident. Now all we'll hear in the locker rooms are; 'GUyS i GroPeD HaRpERS aSs'" Kaminari mimicked the lisp, getting a small laugh from Erin.
As she was laughing, someone bumped into her, yet again her ass being groped. She turned around to find Mineta, her smiling face turned into a scowl.
"Sorry! God, I'm clumsy today!" He laughed it off nervously.
Erin turned to face him completely. "I'm not going to waste my time or energy to beat you up or completely overwhelm your infant-sized body with energy waves; I'm sure you'd find pleasure in that, anyways. Just know, if you touch me one more time I will snap your spine so hard that your head will quite literally be up your ass." She said in a venomous tone, her cold glare piercing into his very soul.
"Have a good day! Remember to keep a Plus Ultra attitude!" Erin shouted excitedly afterwards, a large smile on her face as she turned back to the group. Half of them sat there with shocked expressions on their face, whilst Bakugou was losing his shit.
Todoroki grinned, chuckling as Mineta scrambled away with horror. "I highly doubt he'll be coming back anytime soon." He joked a bit awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable with so many new people.
Erin, who was sat next to him poked his leg from underneath the table. He jumped slightly, his hand instinctively going to his leg. The girl next to him smiled reassuringly to him, intertwining her pinkie finger with his. He loosened up slightly, coughing awkwardly as he turned his face away from her out of embarrassment.
"We should all come over to my place later! Throw a little party, just us." Kaminari offered, his eyes lighting up.
"Uh, no thanks. I have to be home after school. I have a lot of training to do. Maybe some other time, Kaminari." She smiled softly, squeezing Shouto's pinkie finger gently.
"Oh, okay. Maybe some other time, yeah." Denki smiled to himself softly, continuing a conversation with Sero.
The table grew awkwardly silent after a while, everyone basically staring at their trays. "Hey, uh, awkward question-Bakugou." Erin coughed softly, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, Snow-white?"
"How do you build up your resilience, strength wise?" She asked shyly, using her free hand to fidget with her skirt.
"Just by working out. Pushing a little more each time, longer workouts, heavier weights, different opponents." Bakugou grinned, "We can practice it tomorrow, if you want."
Erin nodded her head in thanks, as the school bell rang. Everyone started getting up, ready for their next classes. "That would be super helpful! Thank you, Bakugou." She smiled, both her and Shouto getting up.
The duo stayed close to each other, pinkies still intertwined. "You wanna go to Mitzu's after school?" Shouto asked her gently, as they walked side by side.
"You bet! You like peppermint ice cream, and I'm guessing; no certain colour. You like neutral colours, because bright colours are too attention-drawing."
"And you love mint chocolate chip, and based off of your room; black and white are your favourite colors."
Erin grinned up at Shouto, who was slightly taller than her. "Correct once again!" She turned her face away from Todoroki, her cheeks heating up slightly.
The duo walked into their next class, carrying on with their school day. Erin smiled to herself, for once in a long time she was happy. She felt appreciated.
