chapter 9 :: the surprise

"h-heh?" your expression grew confused and curious as to why is there a crowd of UA students standing in front of your classroom's door. Turns out the word about USJ being attacked by villains has gotten out, especially the part where your class, 1A, fought along with the teachers. Even though they have forbidden you and your class to do so.

You watched as Bakugou called them extras along with the Deku squad behind him trying to make him shut his mouth not wanting to make enemies with the other classes.

He then went on to argue a little with a specific student, you were sure that he was Mr.Aizawa's spawn until you realized the man isn't married, or atleast yet. His purple hair looked like it has just gotten out of bed and the dark color under his eye made you question it even more, is Mr.Aizawa really single or not?. Then again this boy could be his nephew, but if you recalled he said his name was Hitoshi Shinsou.

You stopped your trail of family conspiracy thoughts when the boy himself looked at you. you were surprised but you managed to give him an awkward smile.

"You must be Lu," he said calling your last name.

"yeah, that's me" you answered.

"you don't seem like you're from here," he said to you raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

"she's from china! how cool is that!" Denki answered him bragging about having a classmate from the neighbor country.

"china huh, that confirms my suspicion" he smirked as his face grows mischievous.

your gaze became sharp and your body became alerted. the change in your figure was slight but it was noticeable that you became slightly stiff. His smirk only grew deeper when he saw your reaction. Your grandfather ordered firmly that no one is allowed to know that you are from the lu family. not only he dislikes the attention media is going to give, but if the word got out that two members from the lu family were staying in Japan for a long time,
there will be villains chasing after you and you won't be able to live a day without feeling anxious.

the tension between you and shinsou was getting into the other students and you felt it as the tension grew to the whole classroom and outside. you needed to do something fast so there wouldn't be any more suspicions that lead to untrue gossips.

"you can call me y/n, I'm not used to be called Lu" you put on a warm smile even though it was forced. you relaxed your tensed body and tried to look as friendly as possible. you have been telling people to call you by your first name rather than your last name. it was one of your ways to make sure they won't find out you're from that one family in china that everybody knows.

he was shocked to see your change in expression.

"whether she's from here or not that doesn't matter, she's still one of us" momo stated, shifting her spot to beside you placing her hands on both of your shoulders to relax you. she knows you forced yourself to relax but now your body has come to relax for real.

"yeah!" "she got that right!" you heard Deku and uraraka hyping up momo's word.

"if you laid hands on her just know you're getting it from all of 1A" she stated once again this time having Denki and mina hyping her up.

"So move it bastard" bakugou ordered

"you heard the man" Kirishima backed him up

Shinsou clicked his tongue before turning and walked away. Bakugou left right after and the rest trailed behind him. Momo tapped on your shoulder signaling to start walking back home.

You gave her a nod but you stayed still. 'what just..' you asked in your mind. It felt warm. You don't know why but the way your classmate defended you and kept you close felt very warm. You're familiar with this feeling but never from a friend, it felt like a family and it made you smile.

"one school each year for three years" a voice ringed in your head, it felt like a slap as you snapped out of your thought and sighed bitterly. "right, I can't get too attached.." you said to yourself and started walking home.

Time Skip

you are having a nice dinner with your grandmother, having fun telling what happened at school and how you have grown closer to your classmates.

"oh and by the way dear, your teacher has told you about the sports festival right?" she asked you

"yes actually, Mr.Aizawa mentioned that first thing in the morning" you answered as you recall the shock in everyone's faces and voice. "if I'm not wrong, it's a tournament between UA students that airs on tv, turns out the whole country watches it. As expected from a top school" you said as you picked up your fork to grab another bite of your food.

"Mr.Aizawa told me everyone is obligated to participate but I don't think I will since you know, zu fu probably wouldn't want that," you said remembering his hate toward the media.

(note! Zu fu is what the Chinese call their grandfather. but it is formal since y/n's relationship with her grandfather is a bit more formal because he is strict with her)

"Actually Sweetheart, you will be participating and the whole family including your grandfather will be watching right at the stadium!" she announced excitedly

"heck-" you choked at your food and started coughing.

"oh dear, water honey water" she hands you a cup of water and you drank it.

"COME AGAIN?!?! THEY'RE COMING????" you shouted slamming your hand on the table standing up. your expression was a mix of disbelief, worry, and did I mention disbelief

"now calm down honey, wouldn't you'd want to see them again? I mean it has been a while and tao have been nagging to see you" she said as she pours herself a cup of water.

"it's not that! but why would he want me to participate in this festival? I thought he'd want me to stay away from the media" you asked sitting back down and fixing yourself

"well he didn't want you to at first but after a little bit of discussion we thought that it would be a good exercise and experience for you" you answered smiling innocently

you pouted. you did want to participate at first but remembering your grandfather you quickly threw that urge out of the window. But now that you know you can participate you felt unsure. you should be excited right? but now knowing that he will be watching, that just placed pressure on your shoulder. 'i can't disappoint him, I gotta win, how do I win? I couldn't possibly win, but I have to win' your train of thoughts starts to run with anxiety as it's driver.

you sighed letting your body slumped down to the chair "another tough day awaits tomorrow" you mumbled closing your eyes lazily.

what exactly will happen tomorrow?
