It was the third day of summer camp, and as usual it was spent by completing tiring training activities. You felt yourself getting a little stronger day by day thanks to Aizawa who watched you like a hawk. Any time you took just too long of a break, the pro hero would bark at you to get back to work. You knew it was supposed to help you but that didn't mean you wouldn't complain every now and then to him. 

After such a long day of work, you expected to return back to the campsite to prepare dinner with your classmates as per usual. You had already made plans to bake some of your favorite cookies. However, Ragdoll had gathered everyone around for one last training exercise. 

"I'm tired," Mineta whined. "Do we really have to do this?"

"Of course!" Ragdoll exclaimed. 

"You kiddies will be going around this here path where class 1-B will be waiting to scare you all," Pixie-Bob explained with a sinister grin. She was clearly excited to see who would get frightened first. "Everyone will go off in pairs of 2 and it should take approximately 3 minutes to get to the end."

"Those who manage to get through without being a little scaredy cat wins," Tiger said. 

This doesn't seem too hard. 

Ragdoll stepped forth with a jar in hand filled with each students name. As the jar went around to everyone, students began forming their pairs on the sidelines. You reached inside the jar, looking over at Todoroki who had gotten stuck with Bakugo. 

"Good luck with him," you giggled.

Bakugo marched over to you and you half-expected him to bark at you for teasing. Instead the spiky haired teen shoved his slip of paper with Todoroki's name written on it towards you. "Trade with me!" he growled. "I know you'd rather be paired off with pretty boy anyways."

"Relax, Bakugo, you don't even know who I'm paired with yet."

"It's probably a million times better than what I got!"

You rolled your eyes, digging into the jar till you felt okay with taking out a name. You unfolded the strip of paper, a mischievous glint in your eyes.  

"Oh Bakugo," you sang. "You really wanna trade?"

"YES!" he snapped. He was ready to snatch the paper from your hands until he noticed how eager you were to give it him. "Wait a minute....who the hell did you get?"

Ah. I guess the jig is up.

You turned the paper around, revealing Midoriyas name. 

"LIKE HELL WILL I BE PAIRED UP WITH THAT DAMN DEKU!"

"Well, I tried," you muttered to yourself.

"Bakugo let's go and wait for our turn," Todoroki huffed. "I have no doubt we can get through this quickly if you stopped with your excessive yelling."

"Tch. Whatever! Let's just get moving," he growled, stuffing his hands in his pockets. 

Todoroki sighed, soon following the boy from behind. 

"Have fun you two!" you laughed.

Todoroki wasn't amused at all.

You felt a light tap on your shoulder and turned to see Midoriya who looked quite relieved to see he had gotten you as a partner.

"Man, I was beginning to think I got no one," he cried. "It would've sucked going in alone."

"Well you're in luck!" you grinned. "I rarely get scared so this should be a piece of cake. How about you? Do you get scared easily?"
