Chapter Sixteen: Celebrity
"OH MY GOD, IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?!"
"IT REALLY IS HER!"
"CAN I GET AN AUTOGRAPH!"
"I uhh.." I find myself stuttering from atop Kirishima's shoulder, reporters of all kinds surrounding our small group. Typically I don't have this problem, since most fans have the decency to leave me alone and I tend to avoid walking by any nearby media stations.
However, today was different.
"Oh, you three are wearing U.A. uniforms!" One reporter says, shoving a microphone up to my face and effectively ignoring Kirishima. "Tell us, what is it like having the number one hero All Might as your teacher?"
Well that explains a lot, I think to myself, struggling to find a way to answer her question. Thankfully, Kaminari speaks up so I don't have to. "I'm sorry, but we're going to miss our train if we don't hurry," he says, the smile he had worn before is now long gone. "We can't afford to be late to our classes."
"Can we at least get a word in from the mystery singer herself?" The reporter continues to press, but the boys merely push their way through the masses.
"I'll give you something," Kirishima says as we see our train pull into the station. "Come out to her concert tomorrow, you don't want to miss it."
I can't help but smile and ruffle his hair a little as thanks, resisting the urge to sigh in relief as the reporters rush to harass some other people not to far away from us.
Ama.. I think to myself as we hurry to our train. I hope you're faring better than me right now.
Ama's POV-
"Can this morning get any worse, Momo?" I ask Yaoyorozu as we enter the gates of the school.
This morning was hectic as hell, and I fucking hate it. I stopped by her house on the way here, since she offered to take me to school in the mornings. I accepted on the condition that I could walk over instead of her picking me up, since it would be too much out of her way.
But on our way here, we were swamped with reporters from every direction. It took all of my strength not to scream, I don't know how my sister deals with these people at her shows or conferences. I don't normally have to worry since I'm not the leader of our soccer team, and normally my teammates and coach take care of the press.
"I don't know Ama," Momo responds with a slight sigh. "I'll admit I'm not really used to the celebrity treatment, but by your reaction I assume that it's not something you like?"
I groan as we head towards the classroom. "Not at all. My sister loves it though, for the most part. Creepy guys aside, she likes making them happy. Though that's only if she's alone, she doesn't like it if someone else she knows is caught up in it."
"Isn't that a little selfish?" Momo questions, though I don't sense any ill intent in her words. "Not to be rude, but your sister seems to be more of the self centered type."
"That's not it," I reply, shaking my head and ignoring the slight insult for Zai's sake. "Sure, my sister is egotistical as shit, and she loves the spotlight. But the press can be dangerous, and can easily make people uncomfortable. She doesn't want anyone to have to deal with that."
"Ah, I guess that makes sense," Momo says with a smile as we enter the room.
"Hey guys, look!" I hear Kirishima from across the room, and I look over to find him carrying my sister on his shoulder. Zai isn't paying much attention to the others, quietly reading a tattered old book. "How much you wanna bet I could use Zai as a dumbbell?"
"Are you kidding?!" Iida says in shock, waving his arms with frantic robotic movements. "Handling a woman like that isn't proper or appropriate!"
"Aww c'mon man! Zai, you're cool with it right?"
"Go for it, Kiri. As long as I don't drop my book."
I roll my eyes as Kirishima shifts her a bit in his hold. My sister crosses her legs so he can keep his hand under her thigh, lo and behold he effortlessly lifts my sister into the air over and over while she continues to read her book.
Wait. My sister is reading?
HUUUUUUH??!!!
"I can sense you scrutinizing me, little sis."
I blink a couple times in surprise, quickly taking my seat as my sister merely keeps her gaze on her book. A few of our classmates laugh as my face begins to fluster, some more trickling in as they continue.
What entertains me most is Bakugo's face when he sees Zai's position, a scowl firmly planted on his face. "What the hell is this?" he screams, tossing his bag at Sero.
"Oh yeah Bakugo, wanna give it a try?" Kaminari says with a laugh. "It would be great training for your fight tonight!"
"Wait, how'd you find out about that?" Zai asks, raising a brow in confusion. "I only told one other person, and Bakugo, ironically enough, doesn't seem like the type to run his mouth about it."
"Oh, well Mina saw you guys chatting after school the other day," he explains, the pink girl giving my sister an enthusiastic wave. "So of course she told all of us, didn't you see the group chat?"
"To be honest, no. I didn't have time to since I was busy preparing for my concert tomorrow. Speaking of which, you're all able to make it right?!"
"Heck yeah!" Mineta cries, pumping his fist in the air. "A free concert with plenty of ladies in short skirts!"
"I only gave you an invite because Kaminari asked me to, so shut your damn mouth before I do it for you-"
I cover my mouth in surprise as Bakugo suddenly punches the grape boy in the face, effectively cutting off my sister. "YOU DISRESPECTFUL LITTLE RAT, I'LL KILL YOU!!" He screams, his palms sparking up from his quirk.
"You know, if I didn't know any better I might have thought you were defending my sister," I say in a low tone, but loud enough for the blonde to hear me. "I never took you for a gentleman, granted you don't look like one."
"I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THAT DAMN PEACOCK!" he argues, clenching his fists before gesturing to Kirishima. "Hand her over!"
"Dude, those statements totally contradict each other," Sero says with a sigh.
Regardless, Bakugo forcefully grabs Zai from Kirishima and holds her the same way the redhead did. "I don't know how I feel about being manhandled like this," she jokes as the blonde begins to lift her up and down like a weight.
"It's not that hard, though you could probably lose a few pounds ya peacock!"
"I can feel the muscles in your hand shift more than Kirishima's did. Therefore you're struggling more to hold me up with just your hand," my sister retorts, turning a page in her book. "If I'm so heavy, then that proves that Kirishima is naturally stronger than you."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" He screams, and I cover my mouth as he chucks my sister across the room. Even as she's thrown she doesn't drop her book, and for a moment I thought she'd actually crash into the desks nearby.
Thankfully Tokoyami stepped in, using Dark Shadow to catch her before she hit anything. "What the hell are you thinking Bakugo?" Iida cries in outrage as Tokoyami sets her down. I can feel my own anger being to boil beneath my skin, as the robotic boy scolds the blonde.
"Oh she would have lived that, don't be such a wimp!" he argues as I make my way over to him.
"HEY! I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS TO BEAT UP MY SISTER, YOU GOT THAT?!" I yell as my sister finally puts her book down. "I WILL NOT HESITATE TO RIP YOUR SPINE FROM YOUR ASS AND FEED IT TO MY CHIHUAHUA!"
"OH SHUT THE HELL UP, SHORT STACK! YOU COULDN'T REACH ME IF YOU BUILT YOURSELF A DAMN LADDER-"
Zai cuts in front of me then like a blur, the only reason I know it's her is because of her vibrant purple hair. Within the next couple seconds she has Bakugo pinned to the desk beside him, one hand holding his wrist down and the other against his face to hold his head.
"Now listen here you little shit," she says with a devilish grin on her face. "Only I'm allowed to yell at my sister. Now I advise you to shut the fuck up, unless you want your tongue ripped from your mouth and fed back to you."
"Man, I wouldn't try anything else," Kaminari says with a shudder. "Having both your spine and your tongue being ripped out doesn't sound good." I look over at Momo, who has pressed her lips in a firm line as she watches Zai.
My sister, who currently has the explosive boy at her mercy in front of all of our friends. My best friend, with a sinister grin on her face and a terrifying glint in her eye. Zai may be a kind and happy person, but when it comes to protecting the people she cares about..
She's the scariest person I know.
