Chapter Thirteen
The eating contest ends not long after it's begun. Thankfully, Sato has won. Except he's being taken to the nurse's office with an upset stomach, which is to be expected.
"For the sixth event, it will be a singing competition!" Nemuri announces, "Since most of everyone's class has already participated in one of these events, I'll mention that people who have already participated can participate again in another event. This singing contest can be a solo or a duet. You have ten minutes to choose someone to represent your class, and choose a song to sing."
Izuku turns towards (Y/N). When they were first getting to know each other, he caught her singing. He thought it was beautiful. Even though he's only heard her sing once, he thinks she might be the best candidate for this contest. The rest of class 1-A discuss potential people, while Izuku and (Y/N) just stand off to the side.
"(Y/N), do you think you can sing?" Ochaco suddenly asks.
The (H/C)-haired girl's face suddenly turns red and she looks down at the ground, "I-I don't know..I only sing sometimes at home."
"I'm sure you'll be great, (L/N)-chan!" Tenya says, waving his hands around like he always does.
The girl continues to blush, but nods, "Okay..but what should I sing? Would it be better if i sing with someone else?"
Momo giggles, wrapping her arm around the shorter girl, "You can choose either. If you want to sing with someone else, go right ahead. Either way, you'll be great."
"T-Thank you, Yayorozu-san."
"Well then shorty," Katsuki hisses, crossing his arms, "What are you going to do?"
The (E/C)-eyed girl in front of him rolls her eyes at the nickname. She puts her index finger to her lips, thinking. Her eyes glide across her fellow classmates, searching for a good duet partner. Eventually, she just closes her eyes and smiles.
"I'll just go solo." She mutters, turning away to think of a song.
Izuku watches from beside Denki and Eijiro. The two boys are just talking together, when they notice the green-haired boy's pained expression.
"What's wrong, Midoryia-kun?" Denki questions.
"Did you want to sing with (L/N)-chan?" Eijiro finishes.
"EH?!" Izuku squeaks, "N-No! I-It's not that!"
The boys chuckle, "Then what is it?"
"I-I just feel..I feel like she wants to duet with someone. I don't want her to feel bad if she doesn't win. She might blame herself.." Izuku then begins to mutter, "She has had self-esteem problems in the past..."
Denki and Eijiro glance at each other and smirk evilly, they grab Izuku by each arm and pull him towards (Y/N). Surprisingly, the girl doesn't even hear the green-haired boy's cries of protest.
"Hey (L/N)-chan, Midoryia-kun here wants to duet with you!" Eijiro and Denki say in unison.
"Huh?" the girl responds, turning around, "Izu-chan?"
The blond and red-haired boys quickly run off, leaving the two lovebirds to chat.
"Kirishima and Kaminari-kun kind of pulled me over here.." Izuku responds, rubbing the back of his neck, "But if you want a duet partner I'm totally up for it!"
(Y/N) smiles softly, "Okay then, I already have a duet song idea, if you want to join me."
"Sure!"
Sometime later, the other classes have already gone. This leaves Izuku and (Y/N) as the next contestants.
"You two will be great!" Ochaco and Tenya yell from the sidelines, as their two friends walk up onto the small stage.
"Now, we have Midoryia Izuku and (L/N) (Y/N) with Hurt People!" Ken announces, "Yamada-sensei, hit it!"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
(Y/N) starts off, "'Cause hurt people just hurt people. They do it, they do every day, yeah. Hurt people just hurt people. Why are we used to the pain? Ooh. How many times until we had enough? We just gotta find a way to love. My heart is broken just talking about this. 'Cause hurt people just hurt people. They do it, they do everyday~"
Izuku smiles, knowing his cue to come in, "If I felt all my lies I know that I'd be broken. Take all these pills and quell fucked up emotions. Bill, you're so sick, why can't you just be open. You just be open, you just be open. Push you away to save you from my visions. Killing myself, lately, that's been my mission. Know I'll explode like it's nuclear fission. Stuck on these visions, stuck on these visions."
His crush takes her cue to come back in, "Hurt people just people hurt people. They do it, they do every day, yeah. Hurt people just hurt people. Why are we used to the pain? Ooh~"
At this point, the crowd is in shock. (Y/N)'s voice is almost angelic. While Izuku's is surprisingly deep. Together, they sound amazing. As everyone listens to them, Tenya and Ochaco glance at each other and smile, knowing that their alliance with Denki and Eijiro, as well as some other classmates is working.
When the pause ends, Izuku begins to sing, "I got burns on my wrists, but that helps keep me focused. Heroin missed its chance, I'm here unbroken. Girl, I'm too fucked up, you can't fix these problems. You'll never solve them, you'll never solve them. I think about you and it drives me crazy. Wish I could fix my mind but it's too hazy. Twenty years old is too young, you won't save me. Can't help me, baby, can't help me, baby."
(Y/N) glances at her best friend, and joining in for the final lyric, "'Cause hurt people just hurt people. They do it, they do every day, yeah. Hurt people just hurt people. Why are we used to the pain? Ooh~"
The two sing together, "How many times until we had enough? We just gotta find a way to love. My heart is broken just talking about this."
(Y/N) tries to get the highest notes for the final lyrics, "'Cause hurt people just hurt people. They do it, they do every day."
When the song ends, there's an awkward silence. At first, the two friends think that they did horrible. Until the crowd jumps up on their feet and begin to clap loudly, bright smiles spread across their faces. (Y/N) turns and locks eyes with Izuku, smiling. The two step off of the stage and wait for the results.
After a few minutes, Nemuri steps onto the stage, "We chose the winner of this Singing Competition purely based on how much the crowd loved it. As you can guess, our winner is Midoryia and (L/N) with Hurt People!"
Without thinking, (Y/N) turns and wraps her arms around Izuku. This hug lasts for a few moments. As it's about to end, the rest of class 1-A approaches and most of them make a hugging circle around the lovebirds.
"Alright for the seventh event," Ken begins, "this will be a little different. All of the classes will be participating in a soccer tournament!"
"Go get your gym uniforms on in the changing rooms, then we will explain how this tournament will work." Shota says from beside his fellow teacher.
In one of the girl's changing rooms, (Y/N) sits on the bench. Ochaco notices her pained expression and sits down beside her.
"Is something wrong, (L/N)-chan?" She asks, "You look scared."
This brings (Y/N) out of her phase, "Huh? Oh..well, I'm just nervous. I've only played soccer once and I was really bad. I don't want to bring the entire class down."
"Don't worry, we'll do fine. Either way, I'm pretty sure we're winning this year's Sports Festival." the brown-haired girl responds.
"You're right, I'll do my best!"
"That's the spirit, (L/N)-chan!" Mina yells from the opposite corner of the changing room.
A few minutes later, all of Yuuei's first year classes are standing in a small soccer field, that somehow was set up while they were changing into their gym uniforms.
"For this tournament, all eleven classes will be pit against each other." Toshinori explains, a board appears behind him, displaying the information, "The first round will be class 1-A versus class 1-B, the second is class 1-C against 1-D, then 1-E against 1-F. 1-G against 1-H, 1-I against 1-J, and since the eleventh class hasn't come close to winning any of the games today, they are not participating for the rest of the Sports Festival! Now, for each winner of each round, that class is pited against the winners of the next round. At the end, we'll find out who truly is the best class..well, least for soccer."
"All classes except 1-A and 1-B, you can go watch from the stands. It's time to begin!" Nemuri says.
(Y/N) swallows, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.
Soon enough, the first round begins. ------------------------------------------------
Quick A/N:
I found a mistake in the anime.. It shows that there are eleven classes when Midnight is talking about the classes participating, it shows that there are TWO E classes. They didn't put the J class in it! They just added another E class and I spent five minutes trying to figure out why there were still eleven classes even though an E was added!
Also, sorry for not posting! I'm trying to get back into the groove of things after finishing my final exams!
