Chapter 10

I finish the exam and now is when we find out the scores. 

1st: L/n Y/n
2nd: Yaoyorozu Momo
3rd: Todoroki Shoto
4th: Bakugou Katsuki
5th: Iida Tenya
and so on

Midoriya was in last place and you should've seen his face. I snorted quietly when I saw it.

"By the way, no one is being expelled. I only said that to make you guys try your hardest."

Everyone was in shock and I shook my head. I feel a pair of eyes on me and I turn around to see Ashy standing above me.

"Personal space is a thing, you know."

"I don't need to hear any more of your pathetic ass comebacks. I am here to ask why the hell do you think you're better than everyone?" he says, well, yells.

I roll my eyes and take a deep breath in. "Look, I don't think I'm better than everyone else. I'm just like you and everyone else and all I'm trying to do is do my best. You of all people should understand that Bakugou."

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying that you aren't the arrogant person you portray yourself to be. Hiding your insecurities won't make up for them. So stop being a complete asshole and accept that you can be strong to be weak. No one is best at everything."

"Says the fucking person who wears a hood to cover their fucking face and their body. At least I'm comfortable in my own damn skin."

I stand there is disbelief. "People like you don't deserve to be a hero," I growl and walk away.

I feel my body quiver and I sigh. Why does he have he have to be such a god damn asshole?

I hear someone run my way and I ignore them.

"Hey L/n. He's wrong about it you know?" I look over and see Ashido. She still tries even though I blew her off. What am I? A fucking lure for idiots?

"I don't need you to tell me that. I figured it out on my own," my words were cold and laced with anger.

She runs in front of me ad puts both of her hands on my shoulders. "I'm sorry for what he said L/n. I know you meant well. Don't let someone like him ruin your day. It's not worth it. You haven't done it before so why would you do it now?"

"How would you know that? You don't fucking know anything about me."

"Uraraka was saying how you stood up to him before and then Midoriya was saying how you stood up for him. You've dealt with Bakugou more times than any of us have. If you can do it then, you can do it now."

I looked at her. She seemed genuine. And so, I listened. I nodded and she smiled. "See, you are strong. If you can stand up to a guy like Bakugou, you are strong as heck!" She exclaims.

I shook my head and looked at the teacher. I smile under my hood. Is this what having a friend feels like?

The next class is math and I'm not excited. Math is not my best subject but I have to do it because it's needed for my graduate-if I even do so.

I sigh and walk to my next class. I fidget with my hoodie strings and look through the hall. It's pretty empty with is nice.

"Hey L/n!" I spoke too soon.

I stop and don't really look who's talking to me. I assume they'll introduce themselves anyway.

"That is your name right?" he says and I nod, still not looking at him. "Alright! I knew it! I'm Kirishima. You did amazing during the entrance exam and quirk affiliation exam!"

"I only did my best. Just like you."

"And you did amazing. You remind me of Todoroki a bit if I'm being honest. But you seem way manlier!"

When is he going to leave? Does he need something?

"I have been told I'm like Todoroki. And is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment, the manly thing?"

"A huge compliment. Plus, Bakugou even thinks so, so that's saying something."

I snort and cover my mouth. No way.

"He does now, does he? Good to know."

"Well, he didn't say it but I can see it in his face. Today, you said something to him, right?"

"Specify."

"You defended yourself, right? Like completely with no hesitation?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I was wondering how. How do you do it without being a tad bit scared or annoyed?"

"One, he's not scary. He's more or less angry with me because I can read him like an open book and no one else can do that. Two, if you're saying I don't get annoyed, you're completely wrong. Sometimes I want to blow his head off so he doesn't talk anymore but what good would it do? It wouldn't satisfy me or anyone else and how would that make me a hero?"

Kirishima was silent for a moment and then decided to speak. "You're so right! Ashido was right about you. You're totally smart and cool and definitely manly."

"She's talked about me?"

"That's an understatement. A lot of people have in a good way. Midoriya, Ashido, Yaoyorozu, Tsu, Uraraka, and even Bakugou. We all see how amazing you are."

"Oh."

"You want to sit with us at lunch today?"

"Who exactly?"

"Me, Ashido, Kaminari, and Sero."

"Maybe. I prefer to be alone most of the time."

"Okay. You're always welcome to join us." He goes silent and then looks at me. "Do you know where the next class is?"

I smile and shake my head. "Yeah, its right here Kirishima," I say as I point at the door in front of us.

"Oh. Thank you," he laughs, rubbing his neck.

If I were to say anything about the boys in this school, he's in top 3 in attractiveness. What? I'm a high school girl, what do you expect?
