New Girl at UA (OC Character)

9 - Between Them

The heat radiating from my body had finally gone away after my little blow up on that Grape Head kid.

I know I can't be blowing up on anyone, I have to control my emotions. I can't just lose control, it wouldn't be safe for anyone if I did.

I slid the door to my next class open and looked around to the still new but friendly faces and forced a smile at them. Mina and Kirishima waved me over and I made my way over to them.

Mina threw her pink, toned arm around my shoulders, "Girl, where did you go? I could've sworn you were right behind us!" I knew what she was referring to, but I didn't want to let her know the truth.

"Sorry guys, I had to go to the bathroom before class. It was an emergency." I let out a small laugh with the two of them. Behind me I heard the door slide open again, turning my head to see who walked in and it was Bakugou.

"Yo! Bakubro! You were gone too! We thought you had followed behind us too, you two didn't stay behind together did you?" Kirishima was laughing as he said those words to his best friend, leaning towards me to show what he meant.

His crimson eyes followed to where his best friend was leaning and met eyes with me. I couldn't help but hold my breath, "Why would I be with this small fry? I have no business with her, other than to be better." His words were harsh and sharp as they left his lips.

After he said those words, for some reason I felt this pain in my chest, it was strange and I couldn't quite explain what it was. "Nah, I told you guys, I just had to go to the bathroom, this hot head wasn't anywhere near me." I snapped back at him defensively, feeling the walls gets higher inside.

Kirishima put his hand on the back of his neck and laughed nervously, feeling the tension between the two of us. He was about to say something when Iida interrupted him with his loud voice.

"My god! Mineta, what happened to you? Did you get into a fight? We may need to report this to the Principal." Iida sure seemed like a stick in the mud with a lot of things honestly. I turned to look at what Iida meant when he asked what had happened to him and I saw that he had bruising over the center of his face and black char there too. He also had what looked to be two pieces of toilet paper shoved into his nostrils to stop some liquid from coming out; blood.

Mineta looked over towards my direction and I stiffened, even though I know I didn't do anything, I couldn't help but worry about what would happen if he told someone I threatened him, but who hurt him? It looked a punch, but why was there black char? "No Iida I promise I'm fine, I tripped, I'm fine." His voice shook as he spoke, something had to have happened after I left him in the hallway. Or I could be overthinking things, maybe he did just trip.

Mineta had Iida and a girl with black hair hovering over him as he walked back to his seat. "Tsk, haha." The voice sounded like Bakugou's but I chose to ignore it.

My anxiety is seriously getting to me, I need to go for a run later. I thought to myself as we all got up and walked to our seats for the beginning of the class.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the last period before we were dismissed to go back to the dorm rooms and do as we please. All of our teachers so far had just given us the syllabuses and given us a basic rundown of what this school year is going to be filled with. Even Mr. Aizawa seemed like he wasn't in the mood to even take us out to test our skills yet.

Before I was able to start daydreaming, the classroom door slid open and Midnight had walked in, she was wearing normal clothes and everyone was shocked.
