chapter 5 - First Day Jitters
It had been months and it was now time for my first day at UA High. I slammed my palm on my clock as it screamed at me. I shuffle out of bed and rubbed my head from a small headache that happens when I stand up to fast. I slipped my feet into my slippers and walked out of my room flipping the lights in the hallway and kitchen on. Giyuu walks out of my room into the living room. I walk out into the kitchen and open the cabinet. I grab the kettle and a mug and place the teacup down on the counter while I put water in the kettle. I place the now water-filled kettle on the stove and turn it on to heat the water.Β
I walk back to my room and open my closet getting out my uniform. I typically wake up early before going to school because I like to have breakfast and do other things before literally everyoneΒ in my apartment complex wakes up to leave for either work or school and makes a bunch of noise. I never really bothered getting to know anyone in my building or the other buildings apart of the same apartments. I only really interact with my friends when I see them and some just assume as the child of Pros I live on my own for safety from villains who might threaten my parents. But people who are close to me know it's just because my parents are shit and only care about themselves.
There are four buildings in total and I live in the third of the four. I button up my shirt and slip my arms through the sleeves of my blazer. After I put my socks on I stand up and walk back to the kitchen as the kettle was making the high pitch "screaming" sound it makes when it's heated up. I turn off the stove and carefully pour water into my teacup. I grab some jasmine tea from the pantry and place one of the bags into the cup. Once the tea infused the water, I threw the bag away, poured some milk into the tea, and stirred it. I sat at the counter and sipped on my tea.Β
I heard a knock on my door and got up to answer it. Who's be up this early at 6:00? I ask myself as I look through the peephole on my door. I sigh seeing that it was Tokiko, Yumi, and Hikari. I open the door and see my three friends in their UA uniforms with smiles on their faces. "What do you guys want? I'm surprised you're up this early." I say letting them in. "We wanted to walk to school with you and we know you wake up early to make yourself tea." Yumi says. "So we thought we'd join you!" Tokiko says. "But can't you guys make tea at home?" I asked closing the door.
"My little sister broke my mom's teapot..." Yumi says. "I don't know where my dad put ours..." Tokiko says. "And I don't have one sadly." Hikari says. "Ok, luckily I just heated some water so take a seat and I'll get you guys teacups." I say to my friends. They all take seats at the counter and I grab three more teacups from the cabinet, pour water into them, and then place the tea bags into them. We all talk as we drink our tea before we have to go. The four of us had gotten into the Hero Course and we were all hoping to be in the same class. Unlike mine, their letter didn't say which class they'd be in so we had no way of knowing.Β
We finished our tea and I set the teacups in the sink to clean later. I slipped on my school shoes and swung my bag onto my back. I opened the door and we all walked out. As we walked along the sidewalk to the train station we talked more. Once we got to the station we sat together and waited for the train to come to a stop. Walking off we started on the walk to UA. I told my friends to go ahead and I'd see them later. I told them I wanted to catch my breath but it was really just because I was nervous. "Hey! It's Hitomi!" I hear a familiar voice call my name. I turn to see Sero waving to me. He had a yellow-haired boy walking next to him.Β
"Hey! You got in! That's great." He smiled. "Yeah, I'm glad you got in too," I say. "also please just call me Nozomi." I add. "Sero whose this?" The yellow-haired boy asks. "Oh! This is the girl I told you I ran into at the train station coming home and I also saw her at the Entrance Exams and saved her." Sero says. "Nozomi Hitomi." I say to the yellow-haired boy holding out my hand. "Denki Kaminari. So you're really the Steel Heroes' daughter?" Kaminari asks shaking my hand. "Yes..." I sigh. "Wow! Well, I hope we're in the same class Hitomi-chan!" Kaminari says with a smile. "It's just Nozomi." I say. "Do you want to walk with us to class?" Sero asks. "Sure." I sigh.Β
I take in a deep breath before walking in through the door. We stop by the shoe lockers and put on the shoes they provide us to walk into class. We walk to the classroom marked as 1-A and Sero opened the door. I looked around for any of my friends but none of them were there. Damn, I guess they're in 1-B. I say to myself. A seating chart was set on the board and I followed it to where I would be sitting. I was sat in a row next to a girl with a black ponytail and was reading a textbook even though it was the first day. I grabbed my phone from my bag and just listened to some music before class started.

It's a little shorter than most idk why my chapters are shorter lately I just have written them like that. But yeah and now you know what kind of person Nozomi is! A person who wakes up early just to be up before everyone else.
