Part 10-The Dorms

            Soon, you students would be going back to the school after the series of villain attacks shut the hero course down for a bit. You would be staying in the new dorms, and going to internships. You missed Denki, Mina, and especially Hitoshi. After about a week of not talking to any of your friends, you finally were able to go back. You said goodbye to your family, and got on the bus to U.A. You take your new school-issued emergency alert phone out of your backpack. They  had given you one so you could stay in contact with your teachers over email, to look things up for classes, etc. The back of the case was dark; navy blue with bright yellow U.A. letters. You didn't have the time to use it until now, considering all the work you needed to do over break. "The dishes won't do themselves!" one of your parents had said. But with their quirk, the dishes could... Why did you have to do it? 

         You pressed the power button on the phone. It seemed like everyone but you was already listening to music or texting. Even Deku used YouTube all the time to watch videos of pros 'for research'. You spent the bus ride familiarizing yourself with the phone, messing around with the settings until you were content. When you were at your stop, you put your backpack on your back, your phone in your pocket, and your roller luggage bag in your hand, and stepped back onto the U.A. grounds, breathing out a sign of relief that you didn't even know you were holding. "Oh, social life, how I missed you."

        Mina was right outside the bus, as if she had been waiting to see if any of her classmates would be on it. "Oh hey (Y/N)! Guess what guess what guess what!" She tapped her foot so quickly and impatiently, not allowing you even a second to guess. "We are in the same hallway!!! Of the dorms! It's like living in the same house kinda! But not really! Also, Denki and Hitoshi are on the other side of the hallway! Isn't that great? I can't believe your luck! They are like your best friends! You can talk to them all the time!"

        You put your finger up to her lips. "Talk less." 

         "What?" 

           "Talk less, smile more. I'm thinking. Hush." Your mind was racing, still confused. How could Hitoshi be in the dorms? From what you had heard, the dorms where you had been placed were only for Hero Course students, classes 1-A and 1-B. There were supposed to be separate buildings for the class dorms. So what did that mean? You could not wrap your head around it. Did that mean everyone shared a common room? Or that we are all allowed to shower in the same- your thoughts caught you off guard. You shook your head. This was a school. You could not think like that.

            You and Mina took your bags up to your rooms. She was a good distraction, and the area  smelled like a new hotel room. The dorms were pretty big, in each of the was a table, a desk with a chair, a bed, a clothing rack and a dresser. Nothing too fancy, anything else would be up to you to bring. As you were unpacking your clothes into your dresser, Aizawa came around and knocked on your doorway, leaning against the frame. You were caught off guard, considering that the hallway was mostly for girls. You were just putting your underwear away. How embarrassing. You slammed the drawer shut, hoping he wouldn't notice. "Aizawa-sensei, how can I help you, sir?"

            "Well, I received an internship application from you. Why would you want to intern with me when I'm already your teacher? You already would know the basic stuff that I'd be teaching during work studies, don't you think your time would be better used somewhere else, getting some new information?" He slumped against the door, his hands in his pockets, visor haphazardly dangling over his hair, about to fall. Oh, so that was what this visit was about? Was this an impromptu interview? You had heard some of the students had been summoned away already to talk about their work studies with their mentors. Was this just a casual conversation, or would what you said here determine your placement?

             Mina barged into your room and started gushing, totally not noticing the teacher was right against the door, breezing past him. His eyes widened at the intrusion. "Hey, which guy here do you think is the cutest? I totally think everyone thinks Todoroki is hot! I mean, they all have great abs, but not me. I think-" 

            You pushed her out the door. "Don't you know how to knock? Aizawa-sensei was here first! Talking like that could get you expelled!" She looked around the room until she saw the teacher, who had by now decided to sit on your bed. He was a very unusual teacher. He stared at Mina in annoyance that she had interrupted. 

           "Quit wasting my time. Get out. Besides, students are not allowed in other student's dorms." Mina made a strangled squeaking noise when she realized that you were not pulling her leg, and that the teacher was actually in your room. Aizawa's stare was enough to make even Mina shut up. She backed out of the room, no doubt going to bother Ururaka or someone. You look out the door after her, making sure she wasn't just spying around the corner.

          "Hello? I'm still waiting for an answer?" You turn back to Eraserhead, shivers going down your spine at how uncaring he seemed to be in your room. Even if you hadn't settled in, this would be your home for the next semester! You cleared your throat. What you said could affect if you got an internship or not, and you had to make it up on the spot. You thought quickly over what you had written in your application letters.

          "Right. Ok. Even though you are not the most popular hero, I think you're pretty great. I mean, none of us students have really seen you in action doing 'normal' hero work. We saw you fighting villains at the U.S.J., but that wasn't really a realistic scenario, because there was a ridiculous amount of them. Usually heroes go against one or two villains. I know you take them down all the time on your patrols just like any pro; I've seen the clips. And you held your own against all of the villains in the U.S.J.; you saved all us students' lives! If you ask me, you are definitely one of the best heroes. It would be an honor to learn anything more from you that I can in a more open setting." You hoped you did not overdo it.

         "The flattery at the end was a bit excessive, but if you feel that way I guess you can be my intern." Aizawa rolled over on your bed. "How come the students get such soft beds? I have to use a sleeping bag under me to even NAP on my bed." He had a weird smile on his face, shutting his eyes. It became apparent that he was not going to leave anytime soon. Your teacher was odd, but loveable. You left him to whatever rest he was doing, popped into cat from, and followed Mina's scent trail, which lead you to a common room area. Everyone was crowded around something, talking loudly. You transformed into a human so you could see what was going on over everyone's shoulders. Eraserhead should probably be here to calm the students.

       "Hey Denki, what's going on?" you ask over the crowded noise.

        "There's a new student in the hero course! Look who it is!" You looked in the middle of all your classmates. It was none other than Hitoshi Shinsou. He looked pretty overwhelmed by all the attention, sheepishly grinning and taking the compliments your classmates gave him with a hand on the back of his neck.

          "No way! Really?" you replied. Hitoshi saw you gazing at him, and he smiled. 

            "Hey friend, how are you?" 

                You exploded in response with, "Congrats on making it into the hero course Hitoshi! I've missed you! But now you have to deal with Bakugou all the time!" You shouted. Bakugou was the only one not here, he was probably sore about losing to Hitoshi at the sports festival. Hitoshi shoved through the crowd to go outside, motioning you to follow. You wove your way free of the tangle of your classmates, who protested, and followed him.
