  You walked into Class 1-A without a care in the world, humming softly as music blasted in your ear from your earbuds. The people that were already in the room turned to look at you, confusion on their faces. You noticed the blue-haired boy from the exams rushing up to you, his hand coming down in a chopping motion. You took out one earbud, smiling.

"Are you lost? Class 1-B is on the other side of the hall!" He shouted, continuing the chopping motion. You gasped and burst out laughing, covering your smile with your hand.

"Oh no! I'm actually supposed to be in this class."

The boy's eyes widened and he bowed, a guilty expression on his face. "My apologies! I didn't even introduce myself yet and I already assumed things about you! My name is Tenya Iida, from Somei Academy!"

You giggled at his stiff behavior, tilting your head. "Y/N L/N. Nice to meet ya, Iida."

"Fuck me, why is the gas bitch here?" You heard a deep voice groan in annoyance, and you turned to see Bakugo sitting in a chair, his feet on the desk. He was glaring at you, face twisted in annoyance. You smiled at him, wiggling your fingers.

"Long time no see, firecracker."

"Don't fucking talk to me, ugly ass." Bakugo snapped, explosions popping in his left hand. "Don't come near me, either, or I'll kill you."

"Aah, scary! Will I meet my untimely demise?" You fake-gasped, smiling softly. Bakugo scowled at you, flipping you off.

"L/N?" You heard a slightly familiar voice call out to you from behind Bakugo. You leaned to the side, craning your neck to see who it was, and caught a glimpse of spiky red hair. You grinned, waving.

  "Long time no see, Kirishima."

  Kirishima grinned widely back at you, waving you over. "Come sit by me, bro!"

  "I don't fucking want her near me!" Bakugo snapped, whirling around to glare at the shark-like boy. You ignored his outburst and promptly flopped onto the seat next to him, lazily draping your arm over the back of your chair and smiling.

"What's up, you guys?" You drawled, E/C eyes twinkling. Bakugo growled at you, glaring, while Kirishima merely smiled.

  "I'm really excited for our first day here! What about you, L/N?"

  "I was just thinking about snails, and how I'd like to be one." You sighed dreamily, propping your head up on your hand. Bakugo and Kirishima stared at you for a while, silent.

  "Are you fucking mental? You got put in the hero course, in the top hero school, and you're thinking about snails?" Bakugo snarled, eyebrows furrowed. "You're a fucking airhead!"

  "Hear me out, at least!" You pouted, although your eyes sparkled with amusement. You had never seen someone get so riled up before. "Snails can just move around slowly all day, without a care in the world. They get to see the world, travel, don't even have to wear clothes or brush their hair. Plus, they get to have a house on their back that doesn't even weigh them down. I'd love to be a snail."

  You tilted your head, smiling gracefully. "Wouldn't you?"

  The two boys in front of you were taken aback by your words, one more angry than the other.

  "No, I fucking wouldn't!" Bakugo snapped, narrowing his eyes. "Get your head out of the clouds and pay attention to the world outside of your stupid baby brain! I haven't even known you for a day and you're already pissing me off the most out of everyone here!"

  "Chill, bro, it ain't that deep." You laughed, fixing the sleeve of your uniform. "Things aren't meant to be taken seriously unless needed."

  Bakugo was about to yell at you again, when you all heard a voice come from the front of the classroom.

  "If you're just here to make friends, might as well pack up your stuff now."

  You glanced up towards the classroom to see a shaggy looking man, who was carrying a yellow sleeping bag. You wondered if it was a banana one like you had seen in stores, with a cute little face on it. Your mind wandered off to bananas as the teacher spoke, a dazed look gracing your face. Bakugo smacked your arm harshly, making you snap out of it.

  "Get up, fucking weirdo, the teacher wants us to do a quirk assessment." He grumbled, staring venomously into your soft E/C eyes. You blinked once, then smiled and stood up.

  "I hope you're ready to be my puppet again if I need it, partner."

  "Fuck off. I don't want you near me." Bakugo barked, storming past you. Your eyes followed him as he stomped out of the classroom, until you felt someone tug at your uniform sleeve.

  "Let's go, L/N!" Kirishima said, grinning at you. You turned to him and smiled, feeling excitement build up in you. You had a goal for the first time since you got here: try to befriend Bakugo, and impress him with your skills.

  "Alrighty!"
