4 - Lunch Rush

'Man, 1st period dragged on forever, like why are the teaching a subject about Japanese to a class in Japan? How many lessons are there in a day again? Seven?! What the hell?! Why?!' You were the most bored you had ever been in your life and you've literally been locked on your own in a basement for hours on end before.

Due to the fact that you haven't been to school since you were seven and you're now in a completely different education system than before, this was all foreign to you. Just the idea that kids sat at a desk, learning about who knows what for who knows how long boggled you're mind. You let out a low groan and dropped your head onto the desk with a not so subtle slam.

The rest of the class was waiting for the next teacher to arrive when they heard your head make contact with your desk. All of them glanced at the people nearest them with bewildered looks before staring apprehensively at the newest addition to the class. They continued to watch as your shoulders tensed and slowly relaxed in tandem with your sigh.

Finally, Midoriya decided to speak up, "uh a-are you okay, (L:N)?" In response he received a short grumble. He decided to try again in hopes of getting an understandable answer, "Pardon? I'm sorry I couldn't hear what you said."

You reluctantly lifted your head to look him in the eye and repeat what you had said. "It's (Y:N), not (L:N) and why do you care?" Your eyes narrowed at him, the last thing you needed was for the other students to talk to you.

"Oh uh... I don't know, sorry (L:- Y:N)." Midoriya quickly changed his mistake when he saw your body stiffen at being called your last name. You gave him one last glare before you tightened your high ponytail and laid your head back down on the desk, gently this time. However, as soon as you did the next teacher entered the room to start the next lesson which meant that you had to pick it up again.

'Japanese history? Ugh kill me now!'

Finally after what felt like days, the bell rang signalling the start of lunch. Now, you were planning to just stay in the classroom and possibly have a nap but that idea was quickly put to rest when you felt your stomach rumble. So, you silently got up and trudged your way to and out the door, heading for the cafeteria.

Upon arrival at the cafeteria you saw that it was packed with students, students you wanted to avoid. As you set your feet in motion towards the queue, you began to ponder whether food was actually worth all the trouble you were going through to get it.

As much as you tried not to show it, you felt so out of place and uncomfortable surrounded by so many people. If there was something you valued above all else, it would probably be personal space. Just as you started to rethink your decision of getting lunch, you were suddenly shoved from behind. You began to stumble forward due to the force when a hand shot out and grabbed your arm to catch you.

"You should be more careful Bakugo." You looked from the hand clutching your arm, to it's owner; Todoroki Shoto. He turned his attention from the inconsiderate blond to you and asked in a polite voice, "are you okay?"

"I'm fine." You forced out behind gritted teeth, and roughly pulled your arm from his grip, to which he didn't he even blink at, as if he expected that reaction. You shift your gaze to the other boy that was looking at you and glared, and he returned that glare tenfold. You swivelled back to face forward and hurriedly ordered the first thing you saw.

You had just done your third lap of the cafeteria and you still hadn't spotted an empty table when you felt a tap on your shoulder. You looked up to meet the mismatched eyes of the peppermint like boy. You raised your eyebrow to cue him to tell you why he's bothering you.
