Seeing Uraraka in action was unlike anything else. Sure, she didn't have as much flare as Bakugo did, and she didn't perform as good as Todoroki or Tokoyami, but she had spirit and an incredible quirk. She could think on the spot, plan ahead, and use creativity to help her out. She was much like Midoriya in that way. You couldn't help but admire her. Uraraka never noticed this, but your other classmates did. They encouraged you to speak with her and confess. You hadn't figured out when, but seeing her nerves before her fight with Bakugo, you approached her, and it just kind of spilled out. Luckily, she felt the same, and even thought she lost the battle, she used your encouragement to get her far enough. You promised to have a real talk when she was done, and all she could do was think about that afterwards.
