I sigh deeply before leaning my head back, it rests against Reo's shoulder as I take a minute to breathe.

"I-"

"Uhm Who are you, fine gentlemen? I'm currently having a class."
All might says, giving all 5 guys a weird look. 

Reo shifts slightly and wraps his arms around me tighter, he was getting protective.  Actually, all boys seemed to shuffle behind me in like a protective guard. I go to step forward to try and explain the situation but a warning growl about moving from Reo stops me. 

"Hey... Reo. It's okay, I'm just trying to talk to All might."

Reo just digs his entire face into the crook of my neck, moaning softly the vibrations making me shiver just a small bit. His soft hair tickles the side of my face, the fabric from the shirt was warming me up.

"ah.. sorry teach... my- these people were my internship people or whatever they're called."

All mights sweat drop but he wears a small confused smile.

"Okay.....Uhm. well... I guess they could stay, I mean.. there really isn't anywhere else they can go."

All might says while scratching the side of his face. I sigh before Reo moves impossibly closer, small sounds leave his mouth. he must be sleeping, I smile softly as I gently reach up and caress his hair. I twirl a small piece around my index finger, it falls off in a cute curl and I can't help but giggle. Reo squeezes me before relaxing again, I lean into him as I glance back towards the class. Many wear confused looks, while some others just look on in shock. Some girls had their mouths wide open.

But more importantly, Todoroki wore an angry expression, a wave of anger I've never seen before and it made my heart drop.

oh no. what have I done?

wait... I don't care about him, I've grown stronger I don't need a man in my life. I'm a strong independent woman. 

I try to tell myself that I don't care, but there will always be the nagging feeling in my chest that I can't live without him. that I need him. he was like air to me, and may still be. but I'm growing from that little phase I had, I have myself. I'm my own person I don't need anybody. 

But that's what I tell myself.

Thankfully after some other races, the boys were pried off of me and sent home but All might, but not without Haru trying to get a goodbye kiss. Like always I just pushed his face away but still gave the dumbass a hug because I couldn't resist his puppy eyes. I swear that man has some power being used on me it's not even funny at this point. But f course while I was bidding my farewells, a pair of eyes were digging holes into me. it was extremely uncomfortable but I tried with all my might to not turn and look because one of the boys would've definitely fought someone. 

Anyway.. after all that we changed back into our uniform and chatted about them, I was bombarded with questions about them. I just told the girls to look up the '14th pro hero agency' and they were on their way. A little incident later in the locker rooms, Someone left with bleeding eyes.. aka Mineta. stuff him for peeping. 

"urgh, class time..''

Mina groans she, leans up against me speaking about how much she hated homework and classwork in general. Again the burning sensation of someone's eyes digging into me was felt while Mina just dragged on, I tense up as I feel another pair.

Don't turn around. Don't turn around. Don't-

I turned around.

And not surprising but its Yaoyorozu and Todoroki, they were walking side by side. too close for comfort, but that's in my eyes.

wait... I don't care. thats their own thing to worry about I can't control that. if they want to be close they can...  so why does it hurt? urgh, that's so annoying.

"So we will be spending the summer at a lodge getaway thing. But that's only if you pass your end of term exams. if you fail you'll be doing classes back here to make up for it. so don't slack off."

Aizawa spoke up, people looked extremely excited but I for one was tensed. I was sitting between two people that were eyeing me. Their gaze was sharp with different emotions. 

It was a week before the exams and I was kinda scared. I placed 3rd for grades or something with Bakugo. during the past week I grew some balls and talked to Bakugo, it was awkward and he didn't want anything to do with me, but after some more chatting and me revealing the truth that I was not, in fact, using him for his money he grew more comfortable around me again. Thankfully... I didn't want to lose my first friend.

I sighed as I shifted in my seat. 

"what's wrong?.... you idiot"

Bakugous rough voice spoke up, he was calm for once.

"I'm-"

"Don't you dare say you're scared you won't pass. I know for a fact that you're going to do fine, I've experienced your smarts and physical power head-on. so don't let that go to waste or ill beat you up, Dumbass."

I smile and slightly nudge his arm, he is just a big softy after all.

Then the entire class stands in front of many pro heroes, we all thought today we'd face robots but due to the rise in villain activity, they had to ramp up the training. we will be versing the pros...

"your pairs have been decided already!....''

blah blah blah.... wait... Yaoyorozu and t-todoroki?

I don't care... I don't care. I don't own them. i- 

I swallow the thick lump in my throat. why am I feeling this way?

"since there is an odd number of students it has been decided that y/n will fight on her own."

"That's not fair-"

someone tries to speak up but Mr. Aizawa cut them off.

"Remember. Innocents dying isn't Fair, disasters aren't fair, this vicious world isn't fair. but that's why heroes were born.. to give those that can't have it, a fair world."

I was stunned into silence, why me? I'm not stro-

I'm Strong. I'm Strong.

I'm-

am I? Am I Really?

am I strong enough to verse a pro on my own-

"y/n... Youll verse Natsuya, am i clear?"

I nod, completely numb. what is this feeling?

Why am I feeling this?

wait... Natsuya?

I glance up and see the 5 guys smiling at me, I let out a surprised breath. They're here? will-...will they cheer me on?

"you'll do great!"

I hear Haru silently cheer, giving me a wide smile and a huge thumbs up.

I freeze but can't help the biggest smile to overtake my face, my cheeks dusted with light pink.
