Being late for school is something you never want to do. Especially when your homeroom teacher is Aizawa Shouta.

     You had woken up ten minutes ago, trying to remember where you were.
'I'm at the hospital still!' You thought. 'What time is it?'

Glancing around the room, you notice the clock reading 8:15 am.
Well, crap. Classes started 15 minutes ago.  Ichiro had already left for university and so you raced out with your stuff for the school.

      Out of breath, you speed-walked through the halls to avoid being even later to class. You hesitated at the door, unsure of whether or not to go in like this. You checked your hair in the reflection of the window.
'Okay, let's do this again.'

     You finally opened the door, and your face flushed slightly red as everyone turned to look at you. Embarrassed, you headed for your seat. 

"Miss Shirokiro, please make sure you are on time to avoid disrupting class. Do it again and I will have you expelled for negligence of duties," Aizawa-sensei muttered monotonely. 

"Yes. Sir." you replied quietly.

     It was difficult to focus through most of your classes. Sleeping in hospital waiting chairs does not provide very good rest. Once school was finally over, you tried to go home without any disruptions, but on the way, you heard distant shouts.
'I recognize those voices'

You ran quietly over to the scene where you saw Midoriya talking heatedly to Bakugou.
'What's going on?'

You heard Bakugou shout at Midoriya. "FROM HERE ON OUT- YOU LISTENING? I'M GONNA BE NUMBER ONE!!!" 

Your mouth dropped open when you realized his eyes were teary. Tough Bakugou was actually just a passionate a**hole.
"AND DON'T YOU DARE GET THE IDEA THAT YOU'LL EVER BEAT ME AGAIN!! F***!!"

He started to storm away, until he was stopped by a large figure.

"All Might??" you whispered.

All Might began trying to talk to Bakugou how he will grow up to be a great hero someday, but Bakugou obviously didn't want to hear it.

"Let go of me, All Might. I can't walk," the blonde told off the hero.

"I'M GONNA SURPASS YOU TOO! I'M GOING TO VAULT OVER YOU AS TOP HERO!!" he sulked away as All Might backed off. 

"Teaching.. is hard" you swear you heard All Might mutter.

Realizing you probably had eavesdropped a lot longer than you should have, you began to walk in the other direction towards the hospital. You had walked about 2 yards when you heard Broccoli-hair's voice calling out to you.

"Shirokiro-chan?"

"Midoriya."

"Sorry! I mean- Kazume-chan?"

"Did you need something?" you asked, maybe slightly impatiently. 

"Oh," he stammered," I was j-just.. um.. maybe wondering if you were able to help me with my English. I-i, I noticed you have r-really good English."
'Oh, I feel bad for saying it like that..'

"Well, I don't really have anything to do until school tomorrow so, if you wanna go to a cafe or something to study," you considered, "I could probably go with you."

"R-really??" the green-haired boy said, shocked. "That's great! I thought you might get the wrong i-idea." 

"Oh..." you said. "No, I wouldn't think that of you. Besides," you smirked, "I thought you liked Uraraka." 

"Whaa-!!" Midoriya blurted, surprised at your outright announcement, started waving his hands in front of his blushing face. "I swear, it's not like that either.." 

"Mhmmm.." 


/////////////////////////////////////


     You and Midoriya walked to the cafe together, talking about how you liked the school and whatever. You got a lot of studying done, and you also discovered Midoriya's incessant need to mutter all his thoughts, barely audible, underneath his breath. It was a little scary, not gonna lie, but it was a little endearing too. 


      After your guys' study session, you ordered a boba tea to go. Passion fruit tea with golden boba. You slurped on it happily, forgetting your worries for a bit. Midoriya had already gone on his way back home, and you were left to wander the streets. Not wanting to go back to the hospital yet, you just wandered around the area, munching on your boba as you walked. Right now, you just needed a distraction. So, you decided to hit the gym. 

     The gym was usually where you went to blow off steam or to beat out your stress into a punching bag. It was very therapeutic. However, you did not expect to see someone else there. Bakugou Katsuki was laying down on the benchpress, lifting about 180 pounds. You were slightly impressed, considering that Bakugou looked like he weighed about 130 lbs. 

     You debated on whether or not you should approach him, but eventually decided to go the other way, towards the boxing ring. Boxing was a hobby that your dad had quite literally beaten into you. However, you still enjoyed it. You were busy beating the absolute crap out of the punching bag, when someone tapped you on the shoulder, saying "Oi."

Immediately, your reflexes caused you punch out at whoever that was. Turning around, you saw your fist caught by none other than Bakugou Katsuki.
"Sorry," you said plainly. "Reflexes."

"Tch," he muttered. "I didn't expect you to be a boxer with that tiny body of yours." 

"My dad used to spar with me a lot," you replied. "How about you?" 

"How about you see for yourself?" he taunted as he took a few steps towards the boxing ring. "We can continue where we last left off." He smirked as he started wrapping his fists. 

"Oh, it is so on.." you muttered.

About two minutes later, you were stuck in a chokehold, underneath Bakugou's arm as you gripped it tightly.
"Give up yet?" He taunted mockingly. 

Not deeming it worthy to waste any more breath responding to him, you instead tried to think of a way out. You reached your arms up over your head, grabbed the back of Bakugou's neck and pulled down with all your remaining strength. Amazingly, it worked, as Bakugou tumbled over top of you, your head slipping out of his grip. Immediately you scrambled to your feet, staggering when fully stood.

"Admit it," Bakugou growled. "You've lost now. Even if you're out of my chokehold, you've wasted all of your energy doing it. There is no way you can beat me now." 

Gritting your teeth, you tried to look for an opening in Bakugou's stance. You darted around, almost drunkenly from lack of oxygen. Suddenly, Bakugou's stance widened. Your chance appeared. You whipped your leg towards him, ready to aim an axe kick to his face. Right as you were about to slam your foot down on his shoulder, his left arm came cutting across his body and hit you deftly in the side of your neck. Your vision blurred immensely, as you staggered backwards. 

"Oi.. " the blonde said, making sure he didn't kill you.
Your response was to finally pass out as you toppled over and your world went dark. The last thing you saw was Bakugou stepping closer to your falling body.
