"Hey sweet-cheeks! Why are you two so late?!" 

I giggle at our overenthusiastic art teacher. "I'm sorry Ms. Artiste, I fell asleep and this idiot didn't wake me up..." I point at Bakugou.

"Tsk, you're the one who fell asleep... Not me." He retorts as he makes his way to his seat.

Ms. Artiste smiles and shrugs. "I won't mark you late as you are one of my best students. But don't let this happen again." 

I nod and walk over to my seat which is next to Denki. He shoots fingers at me as I sit down.

"Yo Hibiki. What happened with you and Mineta?" He asks.

He must've heard when Bakugou blurted out that Mineta did something to me.

Denki doesn't need to know and he never will. I'll just have to fake it and play along.

I shrug my shoulders nonchalantly. "You know Mineta, he's a pervert. I just don't feel comfortable around him."

Denki hums in disbelief before turning back to his paper. 

He doesn't have to believe me, I'm just glad he didn't ask anymore questioned. I would not know what to say if he kept pushing.

Yawning from my previous nap, I grab my pencil and start drawing.

Ms. Artiste wanted us to draw a self portrait with our insecurities, because she says "Our Insecurities are what makes us unique."

What ever that means, she didn't account for my shitty drawing skills.

After what felt like hours, Ms. Artiste finally told us it was time to present. First up was Deku and to no ones surprised, it was almost a perfect self portrait with a lot of scars all of Deku's body and one of Bakugou's gauntlets in his hand. 

As always, Bakugou growls and starts an argument about how it's his gauntlet and shouldn't be in Deku's drawing. And then Deku defending himself by saying that Bakugou was amazing and he wishes to be just like him.

He seems like a stalker fanboy, but its still adorable how much Deku appreciates Bakugou. They are part of the big four after all.

I wish someone could appreciate me as much as Deku does Bakugou.

After Ms. Artiste pulled them away from each other and calmed them down, the next up was Iida.

He didn't have the most accurate but it was a nicely drawn portrait. Behind his drawing was a large shadow of what looked to be his brother Ingenium.

He revealed that one of the things he's the most insecure about is his strength and if he's always going to be in his brothers shadow the rest of his life. He scared that he will never live up to the name he inherited from his brother.

Poor guy, that must be tough.

Next up, Kirishima. 

His was pretty much just a picture of a rock with pointy red hair and beady eyes.

Apparently he drew it as a simple rock for a reason.

He says that he feels his quirk isn't as useful or cool as the others. He says he drew himself as a simple bolder because he felt he was nothing unique as he didn't even have a powerful quirk.
