Sero POV
Today started just like any other. My backpack made a loud thud as it landed on the floor after I had thrown it over my shoulder. Since Mr. Aizawa was not in class yet, the classroom was in complete chaos just like it was every morning.
"Good morning, Sero!" Mina called cheerfully from the other side of the room. "Come over here!" She added, gesturing wildly for me to join her.
Rolling my eyes, I squeezed through some of my classmates who were standing in my way as I walked over to her. She was having an animated conversation with Jiro, Momo, and Denki. Kirishima and Bakugo were in their own little world in the desks behind us.
Not being actively involved in the conversation, I absentmindedly found myself pulling my sleeves over my cylinder-shaped elbows. There was no point in covering them since it was extremely uncomfortable and they created large bumps in my uniform. Even though covering them made no difference, after comments made by Present Mic and some other people in the school it made me feel slightly better.
"Hey Sero!" Mina called, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Do you wanna come over to my dorm tonight? The whole squads coming. Even Blasty Mcsplode over here," She continued, pointing at Bakugo with her thumb. He glared at her but otherwise ignored the comment.
"Sure. I'm down," I answered, glancing at Denki who was chatting animatedly with Jiro. Mina threw me a look of pity that went unnoticed by everyone else. "Jiro, are you coming too?" I asked as an afterthought.
"I'm gonna pass on this one. I don't want to risk getting caught like last time," She explained, winking at Mina.
Our conversations were cut short by Iida yelling for everyone to get in their seats before Mr. Aizawa arrived. With that simple request, the room was thrust into silence as everyone took their seats.
I fidgeted with my uniforms stretched out sleeves trying to make them feel more comfortable as Mr. Aizawa walked into the room, looking as tired as ever. Today was normal classes which was fine by me. I wasn't in the mood for any hero training today.
Spacing out, I found myself staring at Denki. His orangish hair appeared lighter under the fluorescent lights. Not paying attention to Mr. Aizawa either, I followed his gaze to figure out what he was looking at. I found myself looking at Jiro who was absentmindedly twirling her earphone jacks.
Jealousy settling deep inside my chest, I forced myself to look away. All this was, was a small crush. Like anyone else, I would get over it soon. Plus, Denki is my friend if he likes Jiro I should support him. Not even that helped get rid of my jealousy.
The day seemed to drag on, information going through one ear and out the other. The discomfort in my elbows didn't help either but I was willing to accept discomfort over insecurity. The only things I had to look forward to once school was over was going to Mina's dorm and the inevitable daily occurrence of running into them.
The moment the bell rang, signaling the end of school, I rushed out of class 1-A hoping that I could avoid them and get back to my dorm without any incidents. But like always, it was just wishful thinking.
A/N: I'm sorry for the semi-short chapter. I promise they will be longer in the chapters to come. Also, I apologize if I misspell any of the character's names but please correct me sparingly. I might rotate between using first names and last names but I'll try not to.
Thank you so much for reading the first chapter and I hope you enjoy the story~! :D
