to be honest, i don't care about all the drama that was happening in my class. especially with midoriya and todoroki. all i really cared about was making sure all my little teams of photographers were set up and able to get as many shots as they could to showcase more of the students of ua.

so i was rushing around all arenas, checking my phone, and getting everything situated. being permitted to, i was allowed in all of the arenas and private rooms they had to make sure everything was perfect. right now, i was in the third year's arena talking with that team. 

"don't worry, captain! we've got everything set up already and we'll make sure to capture anything notable!" hinata, probably my favorite third year, assured me. he was as well a part of the volleyball team at our school but decided to take on another club. 

i huffed a sigh of relief, being overcome by the sunshine of the club. "thank you so much, hinata! i need to check on the second years. if anything, text me and i'll be right there!" he saluted me as i rushed out of the room and made my way to the other arenas. 

i checked everything, fixing any issues, and soon i was on my way to the first year's arena just in time to see my classmates walking over to the stadium for the opening. i rush on over, seeing the familiar blonde right in front of me.

"baku!" i rush forward, gaining the attention of the pomeranian. he gives a much calmer look, with no hint of annoyance. reaching him, i grab his hand and pull our pinkies together. "let's do our best!"

he gives a tch, blushing a bit, before nodding and pulling our pinkies down, enacting the promise we made while training a couple of weeks ago. 

"bakugou! what do you wanna do when we win?" i ask as i push his sparkling hand away from me. 

"we? i'm gonna be number one!" i laugh a little. 

"come on, with my quirk i could easily stop anyone from coming like ten feet from me." i reason, dodging a punch he sent my way. 

"yea, but you won't. you haven't even fucking done it on me, asshat." i scoff, jumping up as he sends sparks flying to my feet.

"i don't wanna be an idiot that wins because i force someone to. it's not fair! not to mention i absolutely hate using it." i whine, sending a kick to bakugou's side. he grunts lightly before composing himself. "i'm sure you feel the same."

"yea. but if you don't use that shit on me when we're at the top, i don't want the win!" i groan as i feel a sting on my leg, indicating i had finally gotten hit by his explosions. 

"how about, if you win i'll show you that i can do it on you and you can train against it or something." i reason, not wanting to use it during the sports festival. it made it too easy to win, and i didn't want it that way. i also didn't want to bring up any unwanted memories.

"fine. and if you can even get close to winning?" i roll my eyes as i throw a quick punch towards his face. he easily dodges. i shrug.

"go on a date with me, then." 

"the fuck?!" he drops his defensive stance and i do the same. "a date?!" 

"did i stutter?" i laugh a little. "come on, it'll be fun! we can hang out wherever you want." 

"we can do that normally, you fucking dumbass! why the fuck a date?" i give a cheeky smile, a blush becoming extremely evident on my pale skin. 

"why not? let's make it a pinky promise!" i hold my hand out to him, displaying my pinky. he scoffs and i smile widely as he holds his hand out and looks away from me. i grab his pinky, tying them together and pulling it down. "now if you break the promise, i'll break your pinky!" 

"what the fuck?! where did you hear that dumb shit?"

"oh shut up, now punch me!" 

"tch. fucking idiot." 

with that, we had gotten onto the field as present mic announced us all to the press and audience. i felt nervous with all the people around us, but i was just glad they weren't that close to me. all i could hear now were the anxious heartbeats of my classmates. 

bakugou began to get riled up due to the attention, and i smiled at this. he'd be doing his absolute best with so many people watching him. midnight was up on a platform, guiding the students together and mostly attracting people due to her beauty. 

"representing the students is katsuki bakugou from class 1-a!" i laughed at the response to his name being called up. i knew about this from aizawa sensei. i had been there when he told bakugou that he was representing them and had to give a small speech of encouragement to his fellow classmates, or extras as he called them.

i watched as he walked up to the stage and everyone around us got annoyed due to bakugou being the one coming up and representing us all. they all probably thought we were gonna be portrayed as arrogant, and boy were they right. 

"i pledge, that i'll be number one." i couldn't help but laugh at all of the reactions and booing going around. iida went to scold him and i just waited for him to come back down so that i could slap him over the head for being such an idiot and going with the one he knew would rile his classmates up the most. 

when he came back, i did just that and he yelled at me immediately for it. soon enough, the first game was announced as an obstacle course. we were allowed to do anything we wanted, and i smiled at it. i could show off something that would probably even shock my parents. 

with us all gathering at the start line, i unwrapped the bandages coming from my arms. there had been many noticeable cuts, some deeper than others in areas that would allow it. the blood had yet to seep, as i had been focusing on keeping it inside of me until the moment i needed it. 

with me hanging around bakugou, i guess i felt more competitive. his spirit was contagious and i now had a bigger desire to get to the top because of this promise we made. as soon as the first syllable left midnight's mouth, i propelled myself upwards.
