Next task: find Todoroki's room.

That was easy enough, I plopped down onto my surprisingly comfy bed and pulled out my phone. My little dumbass forgot that I have his location, and he has mine. I started to giggle, imagining the look on his face when I show up at his door.

Jiro kicked me, "Stop giggling like a creepy old man."

I stood up, "Ladies, I will be off, but I will be back before you know it!"

"Hold up, hold up! you're not wearing any shoes."

I paused and swivelled around, realising I was still in socks. Begrudgingly, I sat back down as Momo disappeared in the kerfuffle, probably to get changed.

Now, this was the dilemma. We were at a beach, meaning there would be sand everywhere. It wasn't too warm today, so I won't melt in my clothes. I could either were sandals for the sake of the beach atmosphere, boots to go with the outfit or simply wear slippers and then go barefoot.

Jiro, the love of my life, seemingly understanding my dilemma gently sat down next to me and smiled. This kind of smile made me feel fluffy inside, but I was also kind of scared.

"Barefoot. Wear some sandals and then casually take them off."

"How did you-"

"Just trust me."

With that, all my worries were gone. I put on my sandals and Jiro waved me off, reassuring me that this was not the last of her.

Walking down the corridor on my way to Todoroki's room, I saw Kaminari. He saw but, but he didn't see me, and it gave me such a feeling of ecstasy. Todoroki's room was only a few doors down from my room, which was perfect. So, I knocked on the door and waited.

It wasn't too long before Midoriya opened the door, with a smile on his face. That smile dropped when I wasn't someone he initially realised. He looked so freaked out that I just wanted to scream with laughter, but I held my cool.

"Is, uhh, Todoroki Shoto around? He took something of mine that I need back."

He stared at me, absolutely gobsmacked as his brain took a second to catch up. As if regaining some rationality, he shook his head and gulped, trying not to look at me for too long. "He's not a-around right now! Wh-Who- Erm, can I take a message?"

I smirked and looked behind him. "Tell him his BEST FRIEND came to take back what he stole many years ago!"

At the sound of my voice, his little cute ass face popped up from behind Izuku, his expression turning into a mixture of amusement, awe and annoyance. Despite it all, he managed to bust out a small smile, "How did you find me?"

"I won't reveal my secrets. Now, give it back."

"Give what back."

"My heart!!"

Midoriya let out a huge sigh of relief as he collapsed onto his knees, looking like he was almost close to tears. "Oh, what the heck... It was just Kisaragi-san."

I crouched down next to him and smiled, reaching out to touch his cheek. "Sorry about that, did I scare you? Haha, you were so cute trying to protect him like that, well done!"

Instantly, his face turned pink with embarrassment as he just stared at me, unsure of how to react. That made me laugh even more as Todoroki, grabbed me by the collar and dragged me up to my feet. Not wasting my opportunity, I threw my arms around his neck and squeezed.

"I missed you!"

He gave up, "Let's just go."

"Yay!"

~~~

"Have you checked the class group chat?!" Jiro ran up to me as we were catching the elevator, her hair slightly dishevelled and her face flushed from laughter. She couldn't form words and it took her a minute to calm down, "Please just... Please read what Kaminari said!"

I pulled out my phone, my heart beating with excitement because I wanted to laugh like she was. Midoriya was also going the same thing, and Todoroki was peeking over my shoulder.

There was no way.

"'Some really hot dude just walked into Todoroki and Midoriya's room.'" I paused, rereading the message a few times. "There's actually no way. There's NO WAY."

Jiro couldn't hold herself back and started crying from laughing. This was in no way an exaggeration; she was actually crying. Tears were rolling down her face as she grabbed my arm to support herself. Midoriya didn't know if he was allowed to laugh, so he looked like he was about to shit himself with the way he was sucking in his cheeks.

Todoroki placed a hand on my shoulder, "Good for you."

The elevator doors opened, and we stepped out onto the bottom floor. "Midoriya, do I really look that different?"

"H-Huh?! W-Well, from a distance, maybe... Th-That's probably why Kaminari said that, so don't get too upset!"

"Upset?" I laughed, "This is going to be so funny. Oh my God, Todoroki, can we please, please, please hold hands?"

"What's in it for me?"

"You get to hold hands with this hottie- okay, wait I'm joking. I'll buy you some soba! Okay, still not satisfied. I'll cook for you? Bake? Treat you like the king you are? I do that anyway, damnit, I'm such a great lover. Y-You can sleep over at mine! Breakfast in bed! I'll get you some freebies from work! Please, just hold my hand!"

I thought I heard him giggle, but maybe then again, I was wrong. He held out his hand, "Please take care of me."

"Oh, I will."

"Don't say that, you sound really creepy."

Interlocking fingers, we finally arrived at the main section of the beach where the majority of the class were. I was having the time of my life, swinging our arms as an embarrassed Todoroki trailed after me. Man, he was so cute to tease.

"We should go say hi to Kaminari!"

Without even waiting for a response, I squeezed his hand a little tighter and headed off to where Kaminari was building a sandcastle with Sero. Bakugou and Kirishima were a little bit off to the side, fighting over a... seashell?

Anyways.

As we got closer to them, Kaminari casually glanced up, and his eyes widened when he realised who it was. He immediately dove at Sero and tapped his shoulder, whispering under his breath. I didn't hear what he said, but when Sero looked up at me, he rolled his eyes and then winked at me. I grinned. Of course.

"Hello!" I said in the best English accent I have.

"Kaminari, hello," Todoroki said from next to me, seemingly getting over his embarrassment. "How are you?"

"I-I'm great!" His eyes flickered towards me. "H-How about you?"

"Great. Ah, this is my..." He hesitated and I gladly came forward.

"Lover!" I held up our intertwined fingers, "See?"

Kaminari started hacking. He choked on his spit, or something because he was coughing and grabbing at his chest. Sero was cackling and even Bakugou who had overheard was laughing, even though his laughs sounded more like grunts than anything.

"What would Kisaragi say about this?!"

Hmm?

"Aren't you two like a thing??"

Todoroki and I glanced at each other, not surprised that he thought that because to be fair I am a clingy bitch that loves to show affection, but it was still really funny. I nudged Todoroki, edging him on, and he groaned, "That's right."

"A CHEATER?!"

I grabbed Kaminari's face and forced him to look at me, really look at me. "You have got to be kidding me."

His jaw dropped, "There's no way."

~~~

"I'm disappointed."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, be better."

"Yes, ma'am."

"What was with that message on the group chat."

"I apologise, I panicked."

"What are you gonna do to make it up to me?"

"Offer my heart, my soul, my entire body."

"Did you just propose? Damn, even your proposal was a letdown."

"I'm sorry-"

"No off-topic conversations while the teacher is talking."

Aizawa began his lecture, "As I am reminded you for what feels like the 43rd time, 1-A is a program designed to teach you how to use each other's abilities to further your own career. You will be split into two groups: the performers and the supporters. Kaminari, Midoriya, since you both perform and compose, you'll be placed with the other supports until it's your turn to show us what you've got."

The class just seemed disappointed. No one said anything, but the atmosphere just kind of shifted as everyone remembered that this wasn't a vacation. There were murmurs here and there, apparently, that was enough to set Aizawa off into another one of his lectures.

Aizawa shut the notebook he was holding, "How naïve. As of right now, you are all at the bottom of the food chain. No, you're not even on the food chain. You're little specks of dust that are so insignificant and puny that no one pays attention to you. Will you stay that way forever? Is this what you came to UA for? To play around? There are people who will do anything to succeed, even if it means dragging you down in the process; paparazzi fishing for any kind of scoop, your biggest mistake, your worst fears, twisting the truth for the enjoyment of the public; countless sleepless nights wondering if you'll ever be good enough. As of now, you are the biggest embarrassment I've ever laid eyes on. Will you have a 'I-thought-this-was-going-to-be-fun' attitude the whole time? If so, you are not welcome on this course and are free to take the next bus home."

Crap. No, no, I'm not allowed to laugh. It'll be really bad if I laughed.

I made the horrible mistake of glancing over at Todoroki. He was biting his cheek and staring straight ahead, facing the same problem I was. He probably saw me in his peripheral because he turned away from me.

He wasn't wrong. In fact, this would probably be a great wake up call if I haven't heard the same speech from him and my dad repeatedly throughout the years. It's like the adults don't understand that I get it, but I do get it.

I grew up with my mum in the spotlight, I know exactly what it's like.

Aizawa seemed pleased at the suffocating atmosphere. Motherfucker looked like awkward silences were how he got his will to live. He cleared his throat and started talking in this really monotonous, bored voice. "Since no one left, I'm assuming you all know what you're signing up for. Anyway, your task for today is to..." His eyes skimmed across the notebook he was holding, and I swear there was a small smile on his face. "'Have a social media post be made of you.' The storage component of the second bus is filled with music equipment. Do whatever you want with it."

I probably looked as stunned as I felt.

"You have a time limit of the entire day. Well, good luck."

What kind of task was that?

He really said do what you want and then just left. He walked towards the shade, leaving the class confused and restless behind him.

It was so vague and sudden that I felt like this was a joke. They could have just said sing, or something, but this was just so weird. Why the added detail of the post? He also said 'have a post be made of you' so that means we couldn't do it ourselves. Man, what kind of school did I decide to go to...

I already had a slightly vague idea of what I was going to do. Make my momma proud.

Raising my hand to the sun, I watched as my bracelet shone with the sun, twisting and shaping it to get all its beautiful angles. Like magic, a wave of relaxation washed over me, calming me as quick as time. I closed my eyes for a bit, relishing in this temporary haven that I knew wouldn't last too long.

Taking a deep breath, I glanced around to see most people had disappeared, gone to figure out what they were going to do. Todoroki remained there, watching me.

"All good?"

I grinned, "Never been better."
