Fire and Ice

12. The next big thing

When I woke up, I felt really good. I  couldn't tell if it was cause I killed someone, or because I actually slept good. Then I looked at the time. "I'm late!!" I quickly put on my uniform and rushed up stairs. "Crap! My tank!" I went back up and put the tube in. Then I went down again. "Hey mom!" I went to the door. Then I walked backwards.

"What are you doing here?" She just smiled. "I turned off your alarm." She said like there wasn't a problem. "Mom! I'm late. And so are you!" She gave me a plate of pancakes. "Take a sec to breathe. It's you and me. I wanted to have a day where we can do what you want." I stared at her. "I want to go to school."

"Come on. We can go to the movies." I finally gave in. "Fine. I'll go change." I went to the bathroom. I glanced at the mirror then looked away. I looked back and there some weird scar on my face. It was a zig zag down my cheek. I blinked and it was gone. But then these weird scars came from under my arms. I quickly went to my room. I put on a gray sleeve sweater over my uniform. Then I went back up stairs. I started eating my pancakes.

Why would my mom stay home today. Does it have something to do with Sroa? Or did something happen to dad. I looked over at my skateboard. I hope not. My skateboard is a project me and my dad did together. We spray painted it. It wasn't anything in particular, but like vandalism. And I like vandalism.

"Ready!" My mom was in her hero costume. I put my plate up and we walked out.

"So! About your friends." She said. "What about them?" I asked. "What do you guys do?" I thought about. "Well, me and Kirishma like to go to the coffee shop by our school. And me and Ashido like to....uh....oh! The ice cream shop." She nodded. "It was nice of you to do the talent show." I looked up at her. "How did-"

"The school called last night. You guys won. $390. Witch makes no sense." She said. "Oh. Wait! $390!! That means $130 between all us! Although, it would be easier if we used it for thing altogether." My mom smiled. "Alright, what's the real reason I'm out here?"

"I want you to meet principal Nezu. The principal of UA high. He wants to talk to you." The principal of UA? That's the school Ashido wants to go to. "Just up this hill, okay?" I looked up and there was a hill with a bunch of trees. "Trees!" I climbed up one until I got to the top. "Be careful!" My mom yelled.

I jumped over to the other branch. I pulled myself up until I got on top again. I kept doing that until I got to the door. "Come here." My mom said. I followed her to a classroom. "Hado, Togta, Amajik. Please come here." Three kids came out into the hallway. 

The girl had blue hair that went to her elbows, and round blue eyes.

One of the boys had blonde hair pulled to a ponytail, and blue eyes.

The other boy had a blackish bluish color, elf looking ears, and
black eyes.

"This is Nejire Hado, Mirio Togta, Tamaki Amajiki, from class 1-A. They'll be showing you around." My mom said. "Is she a new student?" Hado asked. "No. She's my daughter. I want her to have a great point of view on the school." They all nodded. "See you in a bit."

"So, what's with the bandage? On your eye." Hado asked. I felt it. "I-I can't remember." I said. Which was true. "That's okay! We all forget were some scars come from." Togta said.

I felt someone touch my hair. "Oh, sorry. It's just....different. A good different! It's pretty." Tamaki said removing his hand. He started blushing a lot. "Amajiki! Don't be so shy!" Hado told him. "Sorry...." He said. He kind of reminded me of Kiri. But, E isn't that shy. He does get a little nervous around people though.  "Your hair is really nice. Who's your dad?" Togta asked. "EraserHead." 

"Uh...you don't look like him or your mom."

He wasn't wrong. "My dad says I'm like this because of my quirk. My red side from my fire and my white side for my ice." I pulled down at the sleeves on my jacket. "Oh, that's cool!" Hado said. "Fire and ice." Tamaki whispered. I liked the sound of that. Fire and Ice. "So! This is the lunch room!!" Hado yelled. It was so big. "Whoa. What heck." 

"Yeah, we all eat here at once." There wasn't that much about it, but the thing that got me, was that it was big. Everything was big. The gym, the lunch rooms, the classrooms, even the classroom doors. "And that puts an end to the tour!!" Togta said. "Hello, you ready?" My mom asked. I nodded. She took me to the principal's office. She opened the door, and I could see the back of a chair. "Sir, I brought her in." My mom said. "Thank you Midnight." Then she left. The principal turned around. "Hello Tris!" 

"Eh! What are you?" He was like a small white bare with a scar on his eye. I couldn't tell if I was spouses to hug him or be scared. "I wanted to talk to you. He pointed to a chair in front of his desk. "It's about you!" He said. "I-I don't even go here." I pointed out. "Not yet anyway. And if I'm telling the truth, I don't want you to go to school here." 

Good. I don't want to go to school here.

"Instead, I want you to work here!"  

That's not any better!

"How am I going to do that!?" I asked. "When you're old enough that is. But, with you talent, I think when you're a teenager." I just steered down at him. "Is that even legal?" I asked. "You don't have to worry about. I will be waiting though. I've heard so much. From your mom, dad, Present Mic, and I still keep in touch with All Might. Your abilities are a amazing. I will be waiting for you. You could be the next big thing!" 

I just looked at him. He wasn't kidding. "T-the next big thing?"
