I strictly avoided making eye contact with any of the now silent students as I set a small box on the teachers desk, glancing up to acknowledge him.

"I've got it! Your punishment is to do whatever she wants you to!" Aizawa announced.

No one in the room was happy, immediately everyone was shouting and yelling their opinion, I stared at the teacher in shock, he grinned proudly. I was horrified he would suddenly spring something like this on me. I turned and quickly slipped into the hallway, escaping to the teachers lounge.

Present Mic grinned at me. "Did he get it?"

I nodded shortly, sitting on the couch opposite him and setting a pillow on my lap.

"Do you think I should go see his reaction to it later?" He grinned.

I shrugged, not really knowing if he should. I just wanted to go home and watch disney movies with my brother. Present Mic sighed, I wasn't used to referring to him as uncle, so I stuck with Present Mic in my head. "Well, I guess there isn't much to do except go home! Yeah! Let's grab some food on the way!"

I nodded and stood, quickly following the excitable man down the hall. I hoped I didn't run into anyone from that one class. Unfortunately, my one prayer went unanswered as several students spilled around the corner, arguing amongst themselves. Present Mic immediately began yelling excitedly at them while I ducked my head, trying my hardest to stay out of view. Again, I failed as the golden haired one with the black bolt in his hair slid up and took my hand.

"Hey! You're really gorgeous ya know? What's your name?"

I offered a nervous smile instead of words, and a second later I was whisked to someone else's side. "You can't just flirt with everyone Kaminari! It's not fair to the rest of us!"

"Don't pull her around like that! It's rude and unbecoming of a UA student!!" Another person boomed as I was pulled to someone else. I ended up feeling like a chew toy as I was spun from person to person, Present Mic just laughed.

When I eventually was released I leaned against the wall, watching everything spin. The class was too busy yelling to notice my absence.

As soon as I regained my footing and sense of direction, I took off down the hall. I didn't hate people, I actually really loved having friends, I just couldn't deal with large groups of new people unless I had at least one person.

I waited behind the wall until Present Mic walked outside, alone. Only then did I slide into place beside him, not saying a word.I ran silently down the hall, my footsteps were the only sound, everyone was already in class. I was the only person not in one at the moment, I was also the only person not in uniform. I tucked my long white hair behind my ear before sliding a door part way open.
