The tired girls trudged into their locker room. They were done with another heroics class that pushed everyone till they felt like collapsing.
"Ugh, I really need to ask about getting my costume changed to a more breatheable fabric." Tsuya groaned, plopping down onto a bench.
Uraraka fanned herself with her hands in an attempt to cool down.
Mina struggled momentairly to pull off her boots. "I need new shoes for my costume, too! I must have had a growth spurt or something!"
"I want to buy a fan or something." Uraraka said. "Would anyone like to go shopping later?"
Momo smiled. "I'd be up for it, Uraraka."
In a nearby locker, Mineta peeked at the girls through the ventilation holes. He had snuck in immedately after class, hiding just before the girls arrived. "Oh man, oh man, finally, my dreams are coming true!" He murmured to himself.
Jiro smirked. "Yeah, I want to get some 'grapes'." The girl carefully enunciated the word and looked toward the locker Mineta was in. Half of the other girls managed to keep a straight face, the other half grimaced in disdain as they understood the message.
Jiro unplugged her earphone jack from the wall. She had thought she heard a locker door slam when they were walking down the hall, so she decided to check for Mineta, just in case.
Fortunately, the girls had formed a plan beforehand for situations like this. "You know who that reminds me of? Mineta." Toru piped up. A few giggles were forced from the students.
"You know, he's so small and cute, like a teddy bear, perfect to cuddle with!" Mina sighed.
"I know right." Uraraka said, she mentally slammed her head into the wall.
"He's totally adorable." Momo continued on, she placed a hand on her heart with a smile.
"I especially love the way he cries all the time." Jiro said with an eye roll, a bit too sarcastically. "It, uh, shows he isn't afraid to show his true emotions and be vulnerable." She quickly added. Mineta positively shook with excitement, hardly able to contain himself.
Momo gradually made her way over to the locker, hiding a combination lock in her hand. "I love that too! Kiroshima acts waayy too tough all the time for my liking."
"Bakugou is angry all the time." Tsuya noted. "And Todoroki is pretty standoffish." Mina tacked on.
"Yup. That's why I like Mineta." Uraraka said, she wanted to wash her mouth out with soap after uttering that sentence.
Momo leaned against the locker above the one Mineta was in. Carefully, she locked his door closed. Due to his limited vision, Mineta was unaware of what happened. Momo stood in front of the ventilation holes, blocking his view of the girls. They quickly got changed, singing his praises the entire time.
Momo bit her lip. She couldn't move to change unless someone took her place. Uraraka saw her predicament and quietly rushed over. The two quickly changed places and Momo hurried to get dressed.
"I wish I could finally get the courage to tell him I've got a crush on him, I don't know how much longer I can bear it!" Mina cried
Mineta's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe it, a girl had a crush on him? Well, of course a girl had a crush on him, right? He was cute, just like the girls had been saying.
"What do you think he would say? Ribbit." Tsuyu asked.
"I don't know. Maybe he'd reject you? He has all of us interested in him." Jiro replied.
"That's so mean to say! He doesn't even know the rest of us like him!" Toru exclaimed from somewhere in the room.
"True." The rest of the girls admitted.
"Sorry Mina. You're right, guys." Jiro returned.
"Whoever has the guts to ask him out first, gets to be his girlfriend. It makes the most sense." Ukaraka offered.
"I'm for that." Momo and Tsuya agreed. "Sure." Jiro replied. "May the bravest girl win." Toru declared with a v for victory sign.
"We should probably get to class, we're going to be late if we take any longer." Mina said, walking towards the door.
"Okay everyone, let's go." Momo said.
The girls filed out through the door. Uraraka stood with her back to locker until the other girls left. The brunette walked calmly out the door, then ran to catch up.
As soon as they were a few yards away, the group breathed a sigh of relief. "I am so glad we had a plan for that, if we hadn't, I don't know what I'd have done!" Mina exclaimed.
"We would have been in a pickle." Momo commented.
"Thanks for thinking up that plan Uraraka, Tsuya, and Jiro." Mina said gratefully.
"I still think we should leave him there." Jiro muttered.
"We want him to be expelled, not die." Tsuya replied.
"Whatever." Jiro mumbled.
Meanwhile, back in the locker room, Mineta quickly discovered that he was stuck. He tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. "Oh no, oh no! What happened?! What do I do?! They can't find me here!" He rattled the door again, hoping it was just jammed. "Noooo!" Tears welled in his eyes.
"Th-they'll find me in here! And suspend me! I can't leave now! I finally know that the girls love me! I have to make my move! If- if they- WAHHHHH!" He began sobbing in the locker.
The girls trooped inside the classroom and circled around Aizawa. The yellow sleeping bag and partially asleep person was propped against the chalk board.
"Mr. Aizawa!" Ukaraka yelled. "Mineta is in our locker room and-" "He tried to spy on us getting changed!" Toru interrupted.
"I locked the locker with a combination lock I made." Momo continued. "Momo and Uraraka stood in front of the locker so we could get changed." Jiro added. "He should still be in there now. Ribbit." Tsuya finished off the story.
Aizawa blinked up at the girls. "I'll go take a look." He said dully, unzipping himself from the sleeping bag. The teacher tiredly strolled out the door.
Iida stood up from his desk, chopping at the air around himself. "HOW COULD HE INVADE YOUR PRIVACY LIKE THAT!? I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HE WAS UP TO SOMETHING THE MOMENT HE LEFT. I AM SO SORRY LADIES, MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES!" He bowed multiple times.
"It's fine Iida, it's not your fault." Uraraka said, gesturing wildly as she tried to reassure her friend.
Most of the guys were shocked. Mineta being really perverted was an accepted fact, but him going that far was something few predicted. Bakugou snorted at the many jaws that dropped at the story of the girls.
Todoroki frowned and Midoriya scowled. The later expression seemed foreign on the greenette's face.
Many of the guys had jumped to their feet concerned and angry at the news. "Did he really do that to you guys?" Kirishima asked the girls worriedly. He had become good friends with several of the girls and treated them like sisters.
"Yep. Ribbit." Tsuyu replied. "Good thing we had a plan." Toru said. "That would have been a nightmare otherwise." Mina said with a shudder.
Bakugou glared at Iida. "You can set up whatever the heck you want. But count me out." The blond sneered.
"Those of you who are interested may sign here." Iida whipped out a piece of paper and began passing it around the room.
"That's really not necessary!" Ukaraka assured him.
The male members of the Bakusquad stared down Bakugou when it was handed to him. The blond somehow managed to scowl at all of them at once.
"He didn't see anything, right? I'm pretty sure you guys said that Uraraka and Momo blocked the locker?" Kaminari asked.
"He didn't, thankfully." Momo replied. The sign-up paper had finished being passed around. Even timid Koda had signed up to help.
Kirishima walked to Midoriya's desk and politely asked for the sheet. The redhead stood with Kaminari in front of the annoyed blond. "What?" Bakugou growled.
Kirishima placed the sheet in front of Bakugou.
Bakugou rolled his eyes and then shot glares at his watching classmates. The room had fallen silent in favor of seeing what Bakugou would do.
Bakugou closed his eyes and seemed to sigh. With a half hearted scowl, he wrote down his name.
There was a stunned silence as everyone tried to understand what just happened. Kirishima and Kaminari grinned and high fived each other. Mina cheered. Uraraka and Deku smiled.
Todoroki raised an eyebrow. His mouth twitched as he tried to suppress a wry smile.
Iida fixed his glasses and coughed to hide his bark of laughter. Bakugou grumbled something under his breath.
The class was happy. The most antisocial and abrasive person in the class was finally getting somewhere
Aizawa could hear Mineta's sobs from the end of the hallway. Entering the room, he immedately unlocked the locker door. Mineta tumbled out, still crying. "M-m-mr. Aizawa! The g-girls locked me in h-h-here! I couldn't get o-u-ut!" He managed to get out.
"I wanted to p-play a prank on the other guys, but I ran in the wrong locker r-room!"
Aizawa sighed and grabbed Mineta's collar to ensure he didn't run off. "We're going to class." The teacher said.
"I promise, I didn't mean to be in there!" Mineta sniffled.
"Save it for the jury." Aizawa muttered.
"J-jury!?" A fresh bout of tears welled up. "You don't believe me?!"
Aizawa gave Mineta a deadpan look. "You will get the benefit of the doubt before the board. But with me and your track record, it's most likely you're lying."
The boy couldn't hold back any longer, and sobbed all the way to class.
Aizawa rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration. This is not what he wanted to be dealing with today.
When they arrived at class, nobody could take their eyes off of Mineta, most of them glaring at him.
The board of teachers was somber. "Here's the hallway footage." Mock annouced.
Mic stood and gestured to specific parts of the screen as the footage played.
Mineta was seen checking the hallway to make sure that nobody was there, and then sneaking into the girl's locker room. The screen changed ro another camera, this time inside the room. Mineta hid in the unused locker, giddy and grinning. The teachers watched as the group of tired students filed in, unaware of the hiding boy.
Mic paused the video, frowning deeply. "I think that is sufficent evidence for everyone here?" Aizawa questioned.
"I agree." Stated Midnight.
Nedzu frowned and sipped his tea. "It seems the accusations are not unfounded. Aizawa and others that have classes with him, what is the track record of Mineta regarding such actions?"
"Unfortunately, very consistent with what we see here." All Might confirmed.
"I see." Nedzu replied.
"His behavior doesn't seem very heroic to me." Recovery Girl added.
"I move that the board votes wether or not Mineta is expelled." Midnight said.
The room was silent as the teachers eyed each other.
The silence was broken. "I second the vote." Snipe replied.
"All for Mineta's expulsion, say aye." Said Nezu. All of the teachers responded.
"All opposed." Silence. "It is settled, then. Minoru Mineta is officially expelled from U.A. High. Meeting dismissed."
With solemn faces, the teachers walked out of the room.
Aizawa made an announcement before class started. "Minoru Mineta has been expelled."
The room erupted into whispered conversations. Some were slightly guilty and sad, but most were over joyed. Mineta got the consequences for his actions fair and square.
Aizawa whistled sharply. The students shut up. "There is now a spot open for the Heroics Course. All of the other classes will want to get in. Some may try to cozy up to you, some may try to draw attention by confrontation. Try to make new friends as one of them will undoubtedly get in next semester, but remember that you are one class and you are all Heroes in training."
The students all nodded. Aizawa nodded back with a sense of finality. "Use what common sense you have. Don't break the rules, stated and unstated, or there may be another spot open by next semester."
"Yes, sir/Yes, Aizawa-sensei ." Came the reply from the students.
Hello! This story is a collab project one of my friends (who also doubles as my beta) and I are doing.
Arc 1 is currently expected to have E titled chapters. Arc 1 will continue for a while because Shinsou and others need to spend time growing and getting stronger. Immediately throwing Shinsou in A Class:1) would be OOC for the teachers, 2) it's not very interesting, and 3) doesn't teach good life lessons.
Chapters should come more frequently then I usually put them out because it'll be two people working together.
