I had managed to learn my way around the school after that traumatic first day. To all the important areas, anyway. Like the food court. Even so, though, Kaminari insisted on walking with me at all times. I found his concern sweet, but it was a bit annoying when I just wanted to go to the bathroom.

"It is not possible to get lost in a bathroom! Just wait out here! I will be fine!" I shout. He pouts and leans against the wall next to the door, attracting a few stares from the girls walking in behind me. One of them walks up to me and starts asking about him.

"Is that your boyfriend? He seems to be... really protective." She says, glancing at the door.

"No, he's not. It's a long and anxiety-filled story that I don't want to revisit." I answer, entering a stall and going about my business. At least Kirishima wasn't doing this too.

"I am... coming through the door like a hero!!" a loud voice shouts, the door slamming open as All Might struts into view. Literally. Struts. I smile as I notice Midoriya fanboying over the number one hero standing in front of us with his hands on his hips. After explaining what we were going to be doing in the lesson today, he presses a button on a remote controller. Boxes hidden in the wall to my left slide out, numbers from one to twenty-one painted in bright yellow on them.

"I'm sure you all remember the application forms you filled out for your hero costumes! Please grab the suitcase inside the box that has your seat number displayed! Then, change into your hero costumes and head down to Ground Beta!"

I walk over to box twenty-one and grab the case inside it, then walk outside the door.

"(Y/N), hold up!" Kirishima calls, running up beside me. I tilt my head at him, wondering what he needed.

"Yes?"

"What does your hero costume look like?"

"You'll see."

"You're no fun."

"Says you."

"I'll have you know that I am very fun!" he exclaims dramatically, placing a hand over his chest.

"Uh... sure."

We reach the changing rooms and split up. I notice Yaoyorozu already inside, her bare chest facing away from me as I enter, and I quickly avert my eyes. No nip-slip for me, thanks. I find a dark corner and start changing, happy with how the costume turned out. The shirt was a black singlet with a slit down the spine for my fins to sprout when I transformed, and a small hood was attached to the back. I tie my bandana around my neck and grab my pants, securing them in place with a belt that had two hooks on the sides of my waist in case I needed to attach something there.

My shoes were simple running shoes, with Velcro to secure them instead of laces. They were designed to be able to be put on and taken off in a rush due to my quirk affecting my physical appearance and abilities. I also had wrist bands to help circulate my blood when transforming, as I used to have a problem with my veins being cut off for a while. I was past it now but there weren't any guarantees it won't come back. They were black, with a dark blue stripe through the middle.

The last part of my costume was a black cap. I pull it over my head snugly and grin, walking towards the door. I wanted to test it out. I had requested that it be imbued with a quirk, so that nobody could see me in the cap was facing forwards unless they were looking for me specifically. Yaoyorozu finishes changing and walks towards the door, colliding with me on the way.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, (Y/N)! I had no idea you were there!" she says, bowing apologetically. I instantly feel bad and turn my cap backwards, deactivating the effect.

"No, I'm sorry. I was testing something out. Sorry." I say, averting my eyes. She straightens up and tilts her head.

"Testing what out?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

I meet up with Kirishima and Kaminari outside the room, momentarily taken aback by their appearance. Seeing someone out of their uniform was really weird if you weren't used to it. Kaminari looks over at me and freezes, his eyes wide. He stares for a while before coming back to himself, coughing awkwardly and looking away. Kirishima glances over and gives me a once-over before grinning and sticking his thumb up.

"Looking good, (Y/N)!" he says. I laugh lightly and look away, rubbing the back of my neck.

"I feel like I went a little overboard." I say, keeping my head down.

"If you wanna see overboard, go find Bakugou." Kirishima chuckles, draping an arm around my shoulders and dragging me off. Kaminari follows us, looking slightly conflicted. I glance back and give him a grin, which he returns, but he almost seemed... jealous. I shake my head to clear my thoughts and allow Kirishima to drag me through the corridors, eventually coming to a stop in the battle centre.

"Today, we will be doing mock battles! You will all be split into teams of two and pitted against eachother, one team playing the villains and the other playing the heroes." All Might declares.

"But there will be one person left over!" the boy with blue hair suddenly shouts, raising his hand straight up into the air. I look around, wondering who will be left out, and realise some people were staring at me. I lower my head and shuffle my weight a bit, feeling uncomfortable.

'Well, you've definitely left a mark, haven't you?'

"I know! That's why one person will be chosen to be a victim! The victim will be in every round and will avoid both teams, as they will be playing the role of a confused civilian and won't know who to trust! They are basically another objective. Whoever captures the victim first will be half way to winning!"

'God, I don't wanna do that. It sounds so tiring.'

"Ah, I see. Forgive me interrupting!" the boy says, bowing deeply. All Might does a 180 jump, his fists clenched in front of him.

"It's fine! Now, time to draw the teams!"

Team A: Midoriya & Uraraka

Team B: Shoji & Todoroki

Team C: Kaminari & Jiro

Team D: Kirishima & Sato

Team E: Mineta & Sero

Team F: Tsuyu & Mina

Team G: Ojiro & Hagakure

Team H: Bakugou & Iida

Team I: Aoyama & Yaoyorozu

Team J: Tokoyami & Koda

'Wait a moment...'

"Young (Y/N) will be the victim! And for the first round, the heroes and villains shall be... these guys!!" All Might shouts, pulling out two balls. The black one had the letter D on it, and the white one had the letter C.

'Oh boy...'

~

"So, you're the heroes, right?" I ask as Kirishima and Sato walk into the building ahead of us.

"Yep, and we're the villains!" Kirishima calls, grinning at me over his shoulder. I sigh heavily.

"Of course I'm the victim. Of course I'm the only person who isn't actually allowed to do much." I complain. Kaminari laughs and pats my back.

"I'm sure you'll live. Just run fast, run far, and don't get lost."

"Don't even mention that."

"Sorry..."

I walk into the building and head up to the fourth floor, two down from the roof. The weapon was on the third floor, as far as I knew, so I thought this would be a good place to hide.

Bad choice.

Kaminari walks around the corner while I'm facing the other way, so I don't see him coming. At all. I yelp in surprise as he grabs my wrists, struggling to tie the capture tape around them. Breaking free, I turn to face him and leap backwards, putting some distance between us.

"Aw, come on, (Y/N)!" Kaminari says, approaching me again. I get into my role and step backwards, maintaining the same distance.

"Stay away!" I shout. Suddenly, my back collides with a wall. I had inadvertently trapped myself in a corner.

'Amazing fucking job, (Y/N).'

Kaminari dashes forwards, pinning my arms above my head as he gets the capture tape out again, his chest pressed against mine. Thinking quickly, I make my legs go dead. He struggles to keep a grip on me as he's forced to take on my whole weight, and I use the opportunity to break free and run down the hall.

"(Y/N), come back!" he calls, sounding genuinely upset. I almost obey him before reminding myself of what I was supposed to be. I come across a flight of stairs leading upwards and bound up them, then finding myself on the roof.

"Found you." someone whispers ominously, right next to my ear. Their hot breath tickles my neck before I feel them grab my arms. I quickly jump backwards - directly into Kaminari, who was running up the steps after me.

"Ohoho, why hello there, Kirishima." Kaminari says, frowning at him. I back off to the side, out of reach of either of them.

"Come to steal my prize, hero?" Kirishima shoots back, smirking. He had really gotten into the villain role. Nevertheless, I didn't like the way he called me "his prize".

"I'm nobody's prize, thankyou very much." I say, glaring. The two boys look at me and grin, then make eye contact for a moment and nod. The interaction made me feel very anxious. They start walking towards me, caging me in against the railing. My eyes go wide as Kaminari places his hand under my chin, lifting my face up to his. Kirishima wraps an arm around my waist. Neither of them try to use the capture tape.

"UH WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING." I ask, honestly worried. I ignore the intense fluttering of my heart and lean back over the railing, both my hands gripping the steel bar until my knuckles turn white.

"You're so cute when you're flustered, (Y/N)." Kirishima purrs, his voice sending chills down my spine. I shiver, my eyes darting around as I search for a way out of this.

"Indeed she is, Kirishima. Maybe we should hold her like this more often-"

"WELP THIS HAS BEEN FUN BUT I GOTTA GO BYE!!" I shout, flipping myself over the railing and out into the air. The boys drop the act immediately, their faces morphing into worry and concern as I fall down the side of the building. I grab a windowsill that juts out into the open, wrenching my arm painfully. I hiss through clenched teeth and grab the sill with both hands, pulling myself into the building.

"Do you see if she's okay? We really shouldn't have done that..."

"REALLY?! I thought it was a wonderful idea!" Kirishima shouts, his voice dripping with sarcasm. I lean out the window and glare up at them.

"You ever try to pull that again and you're gonna be the ones falling off a building!" I shout up at them.

"It was Kaminari's idea!!"

"Dude!"

I ignore them, walking out into the corridors again. So far, I hadn't come across anything else worth mentioning. I wasn't sure which floor I was on, though, so maybe I should go back to the window and count the floors-

"Gotcha!!"

Tape suddenly wraps around my arms, surprising me. The person who spoke had a female voice, so I assume it was Jiro. Lo and behold, once I turn around, she was standing there proudly with her hands on her hips.

"Kaminari forgot to turn off his speaker. I'll make sure to punch both him and Kirishima later for you." she says, winking. I smile.

"The victim has been caught by the hero team! Five minutes left!" All Might shouts, his voice being broadcasted through the building by speakers. In the end, the hero team won, I was freed and I got to laugh maniacally as Kirishima and Kaminari were smacked on the back of their heads by Jiro. Hard.

"We're sorry, (Y/N). We shouldn't have done that." Kirishima mutters dejectedly. I huff and cross my arms.

"At least you're apologising."

"Right, uh... sorry (Y/N)." Kaminari quickly says, kicking at the ground. He seemed distracted, but I brush it off.

By the end of the lesson, I was so tired of running away from everyone else that I had to get Kirishima to support me as I walked to the gate, and even then I only just barely managed to make it home without falling off.

It was a very eventful day.
