I took my phone from my bag, putting my earphones in as I walked towards the bus stop. I placed my hands inside my blazer pockets, walking quick.
"There you are!" Mina ran up to me, wrapping her arms around my waist. "I'm so glad to have another girl on the team, Yona. These idiots are... morons." Kirishima and Denki waved at me and I did the same.
"Bakubro went to go and get a drink. The bus will be here in 15 minutes. We came here extra early because we wanted to see you." Denki said. I giggled. Denki gasped. "You giggled because of me! Cute!"
"Who's cute?" We turned around and saw Bakugou. His hair was spiky as always, eyes redder than ever. I looked down at the ground, not knowing what to say to him. I looked at Mina and she nodded at me, knowing what I was trying to tell her.
"Bakugou, give me your drink!" Mina quickly took the soda from Bakugou, leaving him speechless. Not for long, though.
"Damn pink freak!" Bakugou scowled at Mina and Kirishima tried to calm him down. "Are they always like this?" Despite the loudness and hustle, I could tell they care a lot for each other. I smiled fondly at the four, feeling out of place.
I awkwardly stood there, gawking at the group. I clutched onto my bag and slowly moved away from the group, not wanting to seem uncomfortable. Pleading for the bus to get here sooner, it did. I smiled widely.
"It's time to go," I murmured. They were still chatting. I cleared my throat and the first one to notice was Denki. He awkwardly chuckled. "Let's go." He said. I was the first one to get on the bus, seeing only one empty seat.
I decided to leave that for the four and stood up, holding onto one of the handles. Bakugou obviously stole the seat from Mina. Mina then complained about how Bakugou should be more of a gentleman, instead of a dick.
Her comment made me laugh. The four talked and talked. Tired, I grabbed my phone from my pocket, texting Shoji.
"Yona, you okay? You seem quieter." Kirishima said. All eyes were on me as I felt my knees give out.
"Y-yeah, sorry. I was just spaced out." I took in a breath, not knowing how long I was holding it for.
"You wanted this airhead to join our team, Kirishima? Come on. I'd rather take Mineta than this moron." I didn't bother looking at Bakugou. Everything suddenly seemed so... tight and uncomfortable.
My throat was suddenly hurting.
"Bakugou, don't say that." I wanted to say a lot of things, but not just yet. We're not at that level yet. I sighed and clenched my fist, hiding it from the group.

As we walked into school, I excused myself to the bathroom. I opened one of the stall and closed it behind me.
I leaned my back on the door. I did a breathing exercise, which helped a little. Once I picked myself up, I got out of the bathroom.
"Woah." I felt my feet stumbling onto something. I gasped and fell on the floor. I rubbed my ankle before looking up, trying to soothe the pain.
"Oh, it's you. Number girl." I looked up and saw a very familiar face. Not even a second later, I placed my hand on my mouth, covering it and gasping.
"Shinso!" I quickly stood up, trying not to embarrass myself in front of the boy. He looked different. Probably because he was wearing the school's uniform. His hair was the same, making me smile.
He had his arms crossed against his chest. "I thought you took the hero course. What are you doing here in this wing?" I cleared my throat and fixed my skirt. He noticed my awkward form and hummed.
