"I want to take you out." Everyone stared at the monotone boy, wondering whether he was joking or not. Most likely not, since he's not the type of person to joke around. I cleared my throat.

I didn't see Todoroki in that light, but maybe he didn't mean it like that.

"Take me out?" I repeated. He nodded with his eyes closed. I pursed my lips. "Since I owe it to you, anyway." 

"Do you mean on a date?" I asked him. His eyes widen just a little bit, causing me to smile. "N-not as a date. I meant as f-friends." He stuttered. It was the first time I've seen the unbothered boy so flustered.

I dropped my shoulder. "If you really want to, sure." Kirishima suddenly joined the conversation. "Hey! Since you guys are already going, do you mind if we tag along? Besides, Yona still owes us from losing a game!" I chuckled from the boy's enthusiasm.

Todoroki nodded his head and everyone cheered. "I'm sorry, Todoroki." Todoroki gave me a thumbs up. Aizawa cleared his throat, making everyone go back to their seats.

"How the hell are they still at it?" I moved swiftly across the room, trying to get away from Bakugou. "Why the hell aren't you using your quirk on me?" He asked, his eyes furrowed. I took heavy deep breaths in while running, trying to stable my breathing.

"I don't know how to control it yet." I was ashamed to say it, but it was the truth. My quirk was something too powerful for me to handle. In the past, I could do it due to fear of my father. I promised myself I wouldn't use it in a real battle.

Bakugou suddenly stopped running, catching his breath. After I was far away from Bakugou, I also stopped. I stood up straight and breathed quickly.

"Come here." Bakugou said, waving his hands towards me to him. I walked faster to get to his side. He eyed me up and down.

"Tell me what your quirk is." He said. 

"My quirk is called Acoustic Kinesis. If I hum, it could rupture bones in a second." That was the main part of my quirk. "If that's your quirk, how could you manipulate sound waves?" 

"I shaped my quirk to be how it is now, but it's still hard to control." Bakugou nodded slowly. "Sero, come here." Sero jogged over to us, standing next to me and in front of Bakugou. "Tie her up." I widened my eyes. 

"Wait what-" Tape was over my mouth as his other elbow wrapped cloth around my arms to trap them.

I glared at Bakugou.

Sero gave me an apologetic look and I ignored him. Bakugou grabbed my chin, making me face him. "Try to escape in less than five minutes. If you can't you're going to have to give me hill sprints later." My head hurts at the thought of hill sprints.

My body wiggled as Sero tightened the cloth, making it harder for me to breathe. I tried to tell him to loosen it, but he wasn't listening. I was suddenly panicking. I could definitely use my quirk, but I didn't want to hurt them. 

I was trapped. My heart was racing quicker and my breathing was harder. I tried talking but it was no use. They couldn't understand me. My chest was tightening up and tears threatened to fall.

I activated my quirk, making my eyes light up. Bakugou noticed and backed away. 

I sent a tiny sound wave into his ear, manipulating it to deafen him a little. At least to distrust his hearing for a bit. He held onto his head and Sero loosened his grip on me. The cloth immediately went back into his elbows, running to Bakugou.

I also ran to Bakugou, catching my breath.

"Are you okay?" Sero asked. Bakugou got up. "Good. Do whatever you need to do to escape." I hit Bakugou's shoulder. "Don't pull stuff like that! I could've seriously hurt you!" I was a little angry, since he was taking it a little too far.
