Vibrations: Common Enemy

"Chapter 13: Reminders and Announcements"

The bell rang, the class was already preparing to leave only to stop when Aizawa-Sensei still wasn't in the class. Now that I think about it, Aizawa-Sensei wasn't even the one that started class, it was Midnight-Sensei.

I wonder why. The others might be asking the same thing, having the same expression as I am.

I saw Kyoka's jacks fidget before she looked over her shoulder with a look. I shrugged as a response and she furrowed her brow.

Smiling to myself, I thought, 'she looked cute when focused...' then shook my head violently when the missing teacher just walked in the room.

He was walking without his sleeping bag, which was odd, and his eyes were trained on the paper on his hands. What is he doing?

"Please wait for a couple of minutes..." He said before looking up from the papers, "There are a few reminders and announcement to make."

The class didn't respond and stayed quiet for the announcement. Probably because of Kirishima and Bakugo still not here...

"The UA Sports Festival is coming up." The class beamed, "I wish you all good luck..."

"As you can see, Jirou is discharged from the hospital." He announced, there were a few glances towards the focused musician, that includes me, "We are glad that you're alright. Unfortunately, the other two are still hospitalize, it seems Kirishima's awake but Bakugo is still asleep. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the both of them."

I breathed out my relief, so did the rest of us. Kyoka visibly relaxed at the news.

Sensei turned to the doorway, "You three can come in."

Three students came in. A blonde girl, a blue haired girl and Shinso, probably more bodyguards for Kyoka.

"Introduce yourselves..."

The blonde waved at the class with a wide grin, her deep violet eyes were contrasting with the sun, "Hey, 1A!" She placed a hand on her chest, "The name's Yūko Tanigachi. Class 2G."

"My name is Nejire Hado, I'm from Class 3A."

"Hitoshi Shinso, Class 1C."

"One of either three of them will be joining this class for a short period of time to ensure the safety of the students." Aizawa announced his eyes were back at the papers, "Jirou, Kaminari and Yaoyorozu, stay behind the rest of you are dismissed."

The class shuffled in their seats and walked out of the room. They gave the three of us a few unknown glances and gave their greetings to the three people still standing in front.

When everyone was outside, I stood from my chair quickly followed by Kyoka and Kaminari.

Aizawa finally settles his papers to the table in front of him before he could speak, the blonde ran up to Kyoka and hugged the shorter girl. A sting of anger riled up inside me.

"Kyoka!" 

Did she just..? Did she just call her by her first name? I thought....

Kyoka pushed the girl to a more comfortable position, "Tanigachi." She greeted a little coldly, "How any times do I have to tell you not to call me that?"

The girl started counting in one hand then gave it up, "A hundred times!" She said happily, she looked like she was happy having that many scoldings.

"Then when will you learn your lesson?" Kyoka was smiling rather cold, the happy and giddy glint wasn't there.

"When you call me the same way!"

She shook her head and released the blonde's shoulder, she smirks amusingly, "Not gonna happen."

Aizawa cleared his throat and Tanigachi ran back to her place, not even flinching at our Sensei's small irritation.

His gaze landed on Kyoka, "You two know each other?"

"We grew up in the same neighbourhood..." She answered reluctantly, giving me a few quick glances. She might be a little worried at my reaction, I'll assure her later on.

Now I just need to get the spotlight off of her for a second, she looks so uncomfortable when everyone was looking at her, "Why are me and Kaminari here, sir?"

He and the others looked at me, Kyoka visibly relaxed and I resisted to place a hand on her shoulder.

"You two are mostly with Jirou. I advice you to be more alert about your surroundings..."

Me and Kaminari nodded.

"Of course, Sir."

"Sure thing!"

"Kyoka?"

She jumped at my voice and I quickly placed a hand on her shoulder, she calmed when she saw me walking behind her. A smiled slowly spreading through her face.

I returned it with my owned, maybe a little sadder, "Hey, are you alright?" I tried to keep my voice soft and low, showing her that she could talk about what was bothering her.

"Yeah..." She looked down at the pavement with a small shake of her head, "No– I... I don't know.." She confessed which made me feel a little more special, "The school is just taking drastic procedures just to keep me safe. That just makes me feel sick and weak, and I don't want to feel that way..."

I matched her walking pace, hesitated but still wrapped my arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer. I could feel my cheeks start to radiate heat, please don't blush...

She smiled and leaned on me, her head on my neck, "Thanks..." I hummed, "I appreciate it, Mo..."

Yes. I can confirm that I am blushing right this moment.
