A black cap adorned by a golden S fit atop Izuku's bushy, green hair. Frizzling on pure anxiety, his nerves jerked about randomly, causing his fingers barely reaching past black sleeves to tremble.
As Izuku clasped a hand around his backpack, his breath was stolen by the fallen picture frame of both him and his deceased mother.
"Midoriya!" Fukukado yelled from the kitchen.
With all of Izuku's nerves on overdrive, he jumped high up. He scurried out the door as soon as he landed.

People watched her walk by. Camie twirled her strands of brown hair as she popped a bubblegum, wondering if she could make friends this go around. Doubt ate at her more, though.

Lazily gazing across the road before curling his eyes up in glee, Shindou spotted his mini-me from the entrance exam trailing behind an aquamarine-haired lady (Ms. Joke, he remembered).

Inasa smiled ear to ear as he beat the pavement beneath his feet with a powerful march. His lips strained hard, but he could do this.

Seiji huffed as he glared at the newsfeed on his phone in his empty house.

The principals of UA and Shiketsu High friendly drank tea during their face call, unbeknownst to the Hero Public Safety Commission.

NO SHIPS.
I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY. They're from the manga Boku no Hero Academia by the mangaka Horikoshi Kouhei. Rights go to him.
Unlike in canon, Ms. Joke isn't a teacher for 2nd years at Ketsubutsu High. Instead, she's a teacher at Shiketsu High. I combined Ketsubutsu and Shiketsu High since there are few students that we know from either school. Also, they're all going to be first years.
Unlike my first published BNHA fanfic, I'm not going to sprinkle annoying A/N's throughout my writing, only before/after the chapters.
After a year of hard work and finally defeating All for One, UA welcomes the greatest hero of Japan and The Symbol of Justice: Deku or as the students of UA know him as, Izuku Midoriya. Being used to the hero dealings in the real world had him crave the years of school stolen from him due to his duty of a hero and he decides to finish his education despite already getting his license.
Yet, the real world didn't prepare him when he quite literally bumps into a quirkless general studies student who sent his heart soaring. They got closer with their very frequent hangouts at the infirmary. Eventually, they realize just how similar the two students were despite being on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to hero strength.
And when Izuku discovers her well kept secret hidden in the pages of her notebook she carries everywhere, he's determined to make this winter the best one she's had yet.
