UA High. A prestigious high school, harboring many excellent programs for their students. The only people who are enrolled, are super smart people or super talented people. Jirou Kyouka happens to be one of the super talented people. Attending with a music scholarship, Kyouka's transition from middle school to high school wasn't what she expected. Quirks weren't heavily relied on in Japan, so there was less demand for heros. This caused Kyouka to follow in her parents footsteps. Now, it's Kyouka's dream to become a musician.

Ever since the first day of classes, Kyouka has been one of the Class President's targets. Yaoyorozu Momo, also belonging in Class 1-A was constantly on "Jirou's ass" as Bakugou put it. She's the smartest and one of the more intimidating students in Kyouka's class. It all started when Kyouka dozed off in class. She accidentally stayed up late the night before, brainstorming song lyrics. Aizawa sensei, or "Eraser Head" somehow never caught Kyouka sleeping, but Yaoyorozu did and woke her up during the first break.

"Wake up." Kyouka felt someone tapping her head. She shook her head and slowly raised it. In front of her, was Yaoyorozu Momo, the Student Council President. Her menacing gaze stared Kyouka down.

"Sorry." Kyouka yawned.

"Don't come to class if you're not ready to learn." Yaoyorozu walked away.

"Bitch...!" Kyouka clenched her fist.

The next day Kyouka made sure to take the Prez's warning literally, so she stayed home.

Throughout the first couple weeks, Kyouka made it onto Yaoyorozu's "shit list" also as Bakugou put it. Yaoyorozu didn't actually have a shitlist, as far as Kyouka knew. It was just a hypothetical list that Ashido came up with, according to how many times Yaoyorozu has scolded them.

Mineta is number one, because obviously he's a huge pervert.

Bakugou is number two, because he has the worst attitude in class and doesn't wear his uniform correctly. Sometimes he activates his quirk in class, causing a huge distraction when he gets riled up.

Kyouka is also number two, because she has a bad habit of skipping core classes and doesn't wear her uniform correctly either. Like Bakugou, they both show up with no tie and sometimes their shirts aren't tucked in. But Bakugou is the worst of the pair.

Kaminari is number three, only because he's a class clown and troublemaker and conspires with Sero and Ashido a lot.

And finally, number four is Sero. He's also a troublemaker along with Kaminari and Ashido. Kyouka believes that Ashido should be on the list, because she's a troublemaker herself.

Even though the strict Student Council President is in her class, Kyouka didn't have trouble making friends. She's close with Bakugou and his friends, Tokoyami, and Ashido. Kyouka found out during free period, when they all take career focused classes, that some of her classmates could play instruments really well. Bakugou was a good drummer, Kaminari was decent at the guitar, and Tokoyami was on par with Kyouka herself. Since then, their friendships had been strong. Ashido got close to Kyouka because they sat near each other. Eventually they both granted each other permission to use first names.

The class dynamic was a bit strange. Most of the Student Council members were in Kyouka's class so they had their own strict clique. Their clique included Yaoyorozu, Iida, Midoriya, Uraraka, and Asui. Todoroki hangs around them a lot but he's not apart of the Student Council. He's on the basketball team along with Bakugou and Kirishima. Bakugou and his friends were known as the delinquents, and with Kyouka being so close, she fell under that category as well. In movies, delinquents were always the cool ones, so Kyouka decided to just go with it. Kirishima isn't really a delinquent either but he's really good friends with Bakugou so he's considered a semi-delinquent. Other than that, the rest of her classmates are really nice and sweet.

To go in depth about her relationship with the President, it was annoying. At first, Kyouka would mind her own business but Yaoyorozu always scolded her about something little. Whether it be her uniform, or the way she acted in class, Yaoyorozu was there. It drove Kyouka up the wall, but it wasn't worth picking an actual fight with the President. But Yaoyorozu was a control freak and Kyouka refused to be controlled. So to get her revenge, Kyouka decided to just tease and annoy the President.

Kyouka only comes to school for free period, since core classes were boring and easy. Her grades were decent and she showed up for test days, so there was really no cause for concern. Except Yaoyorozu's nagging but Kyouka was fine.

Free period consisted of brainstorming new composition and a little bit of writing song lyrics. The band Kyouka formed with her classmates was for fun, so sometimes they jam out together, and sometimes they don't. Bakugou only comes every other day. He's one of the aces of basketball team so he practices in the gym whenever he can. Kyouka knows Bakugou actually appreciates their little group, despite acting like a total asshole. She knows that because he divides his time for them. Tokoyami only a few times a week because he studys what he calls "The Dark Arts" by himself in some random location on campus. Apparently he's taken some of their curious classmates with him and they all said it was...strange. Kyouka has yet to find out. As for Kaminari, he comes in whenever he feels like it. He doesn't really have a set schedule, but thats what makes him a delinquent. But Kyouka comes everyday, she'll take any time she can in the studio.

The teacher who supervises the studio is Present Mic, a part-time teacher/hero depending on who you ask. He claims that Kyouka is his favorite, but probably because she comes the most. There aren't any second years because Aizawa expelled them all and most of the third years were enrolled in other courses. So Kyouka had the whole studio to herself. She wasn't complaining at all, Present Mic was chill and basically let her do whatever she wanted, because she's the "Ace". Her nickname varies from "Ace" to "Earphone Jack" depending on how Mic feels. He seems to use them both in good moods.

Now a month into the school year, Kyouka was skipping class as usual. She lazily puts on her school uniform, fixes her hair, and searches for something to eat. When she opens the fridge, all she sees is a half gallon of milk, tea, cut fruit, and eggs. "I guess I'll grab something on the way." She yawns, closing the fridge. She didn't feel like trying to actually make something edible this morning. Kyouka grabs her phone and heads out the door. She plugs her earlobe into her phone and puts on her music. Whenever Kyouka listens to good music she feels relaxed. She believes it's a good way to start the day. Looking at the time, if she hurried she could make it to English.

Her phone vibrates, causing the music's volume to lower. "Tch." She scoffs. Picking up her phone, Kyouka sees a text from Kaminari.

Kaminari: Hey! Bring me something to eat pls 3

Rolling her eyes, Kyouka replies.

Jirou: No thanks.

Another quick reply back.

Kaminari: Please, Jirou I'm starvingggggg.

Jirou: Fine. You owe me food next time you come late.

Kaminari: Alright! I'll eat anything you buy, thanks in advance.

As she passes the school gates, Kyouka hears the bell ring. "So much for making it to English." The only thing she could do was make the most out of the last hour and a half of school. So she makes her way to the studio. Kyouka hopes that she doesn't run into anyone troublesome, like the President for example. The President always chews her out and she didn't feel like getting yelled at today.

When she arrives at the studio, she can hear Present Mic shuffling around in his office. Kyouka decides to let it be and goes to set her stuff down. As she places her bag down at the table and grabs her hamburger, she can hear the studio door slam open. "Yo, Jirou!" Kaminari yells.

"Jeez, you're so loud." Kyouka turns back to him. He gives her a cheesy smile, "Here." She throws his hamburger at him and he catches it.

"Thanks a lot, you're a lifesaver." He takes a seat across from Kyouka while she starts to eat. "So, what's on the agenda today?"

"Hmm." Kyouka leans back on her chair. She takes a couple seconds to chew her food and swallow before replying. "Not sure. Maybe just run through a few covers to get the artistic flow going."

"Sounds good." Kaminari replies, taking a few of Kyouka's fries. She finishes her burger quickly so she can start practicing. "Oh also, we have a test coming up."

"For what?" Kyouka throws her trash away and opens the equipment closet.

"Math."

"Ugh." Kyouka groans. She grabs a plain black bass guitar. "I hate math." Kyouka uses a cloth to wipe off the dust from her guitar.

"Ah! Earphone Jack and...Kaminari-kun!" Present Mic yells from his office. He quickly runs out to greet his students.

"What's with that pause..." Sweat drops down Kaminari's face.

"Sensei." Kyouka waves.

"I'm going out for a bit, you two stay here and don't make any trouble, alright?" Without any responses, he leaves the studio.

"Uh, okay..." Kyouka and Kaminari mutter.

"Alright, let's just get started." Kyouka clears her throat.

"Phew, let's take five." Kyouka wipes her forehead. Singing and playing at the same time isn't exactly easy, but if she's going to be a musician she's got to keep it up.

"How about we round that to a ten." Kaminari slumps down in his chair. He checks his phone and his face lights up. "Kirishima says the cafe is open now! Want me to go and grab us some snacks?"

"Yeah that'd be good." Kyouka sits down too and puts her feet up on an empty chair.

"Be right back." Kyouka closes her eyes as she tries to get comfortable. Her shoulders felt tense, and having a guitar strap on one of them didn't help. She makes sure to get a massage sometime soon. Grabbing her phone, she plugs in and listens to music again. She closes her eyes and leans back in her chair.

A couple minutes pass and Kyouka can hear the studio door open over her music. She unplugs from her phone and opens one of her eyelids. "Oh, Kaminari? That was fast-" Kyouka's eyes widen.

The Student Council President, Yaoyorozu Momo was inside the studio. Looking straight at Kyouka, with a file in her hand. "Oh, it's you." She says, looking around the studio.

"Ehh?" Kyouka furrows her brows. "What are you doing here? Did you get lost or something, Prez?"

"No I did not." She replies. Yaoyorozu walks toward Mic's office. "Where is Present Mic sensei?"

"He left." Kyouka puts her elbow on the table and leans on her hand. "Come back next year."

"Hmph." Yaoyorozu crosses her arms. "Well since I'm here, I guess I can scold you."

Kyouka rolls her eyes, "Don't bother." Yaoyorozu slams her file onto the table.

"These are the handouts you missed from the past week." Yaoyorozu sighs. "Start coming to class more so I don't have to do this again." She begins to walk toward the exit.

Kyouka raises an eyebrow, that wasn't as bad as she thought. She smirks, Yaoyorozu gave her the perfect chance for teasing. "Oh, that's what this is. You came all this way to see me." Kyouka leans back in her seat, waiting for Yaoyorozu to turn around. "If you missed me that much, you could've just told me like a normal person."

Yaoyorozu turns back and glares at her, "You're truly a troublesome person."

It had the opposite effect and Kyouka feels sweat drop down her face as Yaoyorozu exits the studio. The way she said it was a lot different than her usual nagging. Yaoyorozu had this vicious aura sometimes, and she felt it this time. Kyouka didn't know why she kept instigating. Maybe this will be the time where she learns better. Or maybe not.

When Kaminari finally returns bearing snacks, he catches Kyouka shuffling through a stack of papers. "Hey Jirou, you'll never guess who I saw in the west wing." The face she gives him as she holds up the stack of papers tells him she already knows who it is.

It had been a week since then. Kyouka started coming to class to finish all her missing work. It surprised all her classmates, that she had not missed a class since the day Yaoyorozu came to the studio. She might be a delinquent, but there was no way she was going to be a stupid one. That's what Kaminari is for. Since she started showing up to class, Yaoyorozu backed off a bit. She still scolded Kyouka about her uniform, but other than that, she was quiet. "Can't believe I have to come to class and do actual work for the Prez to get off my ass..." Kyouka sighs as she takes notes. "Alright, we'll end early for today because I'm tired." Aizawa says. "Stay here until the bell rings for free period. That is all." When he exits the classroom, everyone bursts into conversation.

"Oi, Ears." Bakugou calls for Kyouka.

"What?" She replies, trying to finish off the notes in her book.

"What's with this perfect attendance thing you got going on?"

"I thought I told you." Kyouka yawns. She wipes a tear from her eyes and closes her notebook. As she makes eye contact with him, he crosses his arms and frowns.

"No, that was us." Sero points to himself and Kirishima.

"Let's enlighten Bakugou-kun." Mina pulls her chair over and everyone else follows. They form a small circle.

"Why the circle? It only makes us stand out more." Bakugou scoffs and looks outside the window.

"Because, Kyouka is Yaomomo's number 1 target. She came to the studio and scared Kyouka into coming to class." Mina whispers.

"I didn't get scared!" Kyouka snaps. She instantly lowers her voice, "Damn you guys. I just don't want my grades to slip, alright?"

"Or maybe..." Sero smirks and looks at Kaminari and Mina. "Maybe Yaoyorozu's looks finally got to Jirou."

"Eh?" Kyouka furrows her eyebrows at him.

"Ooh, you could be onto something." Both Mina and Kaminari nod at Sero.

"Wh-What are you saying...?" Sweat drops down Kyouka's head.

"Didn't you say she was hot before?" Kirishima whispers. The entire circle all stares at Kyouka, and she can feel her cheeks starting to warm.

"I said that just because she's hot, doesn't mean she gets to be an ass..!" Kyouka slowly slumps over her desk, to hide her red face. "I don't like her or anything."

"Sure." They all reply.

"Then why's your face red?" Kaminari laughs.

"She's embarrassed." Kyouka can feel Mina patting her head, "There there..."

"You all! Don't move your chairs around!" Iida and his robotic arms point in the group's direction. This causes everyone in class to grow quiet. Before anyone can reply, Yaoyorozu speaks up.

"There's no need to yell, Iida-kun." Yaoyorozu says.

"Forgive me, President!"

"Oh, the queen has spoken." Kaminari playfully elbows Kyouka and she shakes her head.

"Whatever." Bakugou replies, "Are we practicing today?" Conversations around the room start up again.

"...Actually-" The bell rings as Kyouka lifts her head. "Uh, I was going to do some studying."

"Studying?!" Mina, Sero, and Kaminari yell.

"Don't act like that." Kyouka starts to pack up her bag. "I'll come tomorrow. See you later."

"If any of you had a brain, you'd go study with Ears, but you don't." Bakugou follows behind Kyouka.

"Bakugou, you're so mean!" Kirishima yells and follows him out.

Jirou turns around and makes eye contact with a grouchy Bakugou. "Going to practice?"

"Yeah." He replies. At that moment, Todoroki walks past the three of them, making eye contact with Bakugou. "Ehhhh? Got something to say, Half-and-Half Bastard?!"

Todoroki just shrugs and continues walking away. Kirishima tries to restrain Bakugou from attacking Todoroki, "Calm down!"

Midoriya suddenly runs past them as well, "Todoroki-kun! Wait up!"

"Damn Deku..!" Bakugou clenches his teeth, "I'm gonna break that bastard's ankles during practice." Kyouka furrows her eyebrows once more and Kirishima notices.

"A-Ah! He doesn't mean it like that." Bakugou escapes Kirishima's grip and angrily walks away. "Uh, it's basketball lingo for like...making him slip and fall."

"Oh, I see. Well, have a good practice." Kyouka nods. Kirishima laughs and waves her off.

Kyouka makes her way toward the library. She needed a quiet place to do work, and the studio wasn't going to cut it. So for the first time, Kyouka enters the library, with the intent to study for the rest of the school day. She picks a small desk in the corner of the library to sit down and do work. She didn't want to attract any unwanted attention to herself or possibly get distracted. Kyouka wanted to get it over with so she could return to practice.

Kyouka was caught up on school work, but she wanted to make sure she understood it. English and math were her worst subject. For starters, Kyouka was going to study her English. Present Mic was her English teacher and he doesn't cut corners when it comes to grading. She brings out her notebook again and starts to form simple sentences about literally anything. Practice makes perfect.

About 20 minutes in, Kyouka gets stuck. Luckily she was in the library, she had plenty of resources around her. She gets up and walks toward the language learning section. The bookshelf was high and books were pushed neatly in place. Kyouka runs her finger over a couple of books and picks a random English book. She felt iffy about that one, it was for more advanced English speakers. She pushes the book back into it's place. "Need to find something for beginners..." Kyouka walks down the aisle more until she sees a book with giant letters saying "English for Beginners." Just what she needed. She quickly goes to grab the book and scans it quickly. The explanations didn't look too crazy and it was organized very nicely. "This is the one." Kyouka nods her head.

"Huh?" Someone says. The voice sounds near her, so Kyouka slowly lowers her book to find Yaoyorozu staring at her through the bookshelf. Kyouka's eyes widen and she quickly puts the book back in its place, blocking the other girl's face. She shoves her hands in her jacket pocket and quickly walks away, before Yaoyorozu can stop her. Kyouka didn't feel like having a hostile interaction with Yaoyorozu today, she wanted to get work done.

When Kyouka arrives back at her desk, she looks down at her English notebook. 20 minutes of work seemed good enough, so she pushes it to the side and brings out her math packet. Math is Kyouka's absolute worst subject. She doesn't fail tests, but she doesn't like to get close to it. As she was about to start on her packet, she hears someone clear their throat. Having a bad feeling about who it is, Kyouka slowly turns her head to find Yaoyorozu standing next to her.

"Uh..." Kyouka opens her mouth. Yaoyorozu's unimpressed expression didn't change. And Kyouka hated it.

"...Are you lost?" Yaoyorozu's expression softens, to a more confused one.

"Hah?" Kyouka gives her a weird look.

"Um...You know it's free period right?" She starts.

"Uh yeah..."

"So...What are you doing here?"

"I'm...studying." Kyouka says slowly. This was really weird.

"Wow..." She starts, "I can't believe my eyes."

"Alright..." Kyouka scratches the back of her head, "If you're done making fun of me, I'm gonna get back to work."

"O-Oh, I wasn't trying to make fun of you." Yaoyorozu looks a little sympathetic. Kyouka lifts one of her eyebrows up in confusion. Yaoyorozu holds out a book she was hiding behind her back. It was the English book that Kyouka was going to take earlier. "I believe you wanted to use this?"

"Oh yeah." Kyouka takes the book from Yaoyorozu's hand. "Thanks."

"Um." Yaoyorozu clears her throat. "If you'd like, I could help you study?"

Now this was a new revelation. From the very start, Yaoyorozu had been attacking Kyouka, so she wasn't used to this nice stuff. This had to be some kind of farce. So Kyouka decided to go back to her old ways, to get Yaoyorozu to do the same. "Oh man are you sure Prez? Being seen with me won't hurt your reputation?" Kyouka smirks. Yaoyorozu rolls her eyes. "There it is."

"Do you want my help or not." Yaoyorozu deadpans and Kyouka nods. She might as well get help from the smartest person in class.

Kyouka's first actual non hostile interaction with Yaoyorozu wasn't so bad. Yaoyorozu brought her things over so they could study together. Kyouka thought it was going to be strange, but it wasn't at all. Yaoyorozu is surprisingly talkative and nice. "Maybe it's because I'm being a better student?" Kyouka leans on her hand as she watches Yaoyorozu scribble down answers on her paper. She stares at her paper for a couple seconds before nodding to herself, she's most likely happy with her answer.

Something about Yaoyorozu catches Kyouka's eye. Maybe it's the fact that she's not being hostile towards Kyouka. Maybe it's the fact that behind her stoic act, she's just a high school girl, not some untouchable Princess. Or maybe it's the fact that Yaoyorozu's face isn't so bad after all. In a sense, Kyouka could actually see why everyone calls Yaoyorozu cute. She was literally being cute right in front of Kyouka.

"...Huh...Not so bad." Kyouka mutters.

"Huh?" Yaoyorozu tilts her head. The face she was giving Kyouka, was so innocent and pure. It was like if a bunny was innocently just staring at you. "Are you stuck?"

"A-Ah yeah." Kyouka suddenly averts eye contact by looking down at her notebook. "What the hell was that..?"

"Okay, give me a second please." Yaoyorozu stands, bringing one of her borrowed books with her. Kyouka watches the spiky haired girl put the book back in its proper place. To be honest, Kyouka would've just set the book on the librarians desk. This goes to show the difference between the two. As Yaoyorozu returns to their desk, a random student stops her.

The student seems to be in distress, Kyouka recognizes him as one of the track team stars. Yaoyorozu fixes her stature, standing tall and proud. "There's that scary Prez thing." Kyouka felt amused just watching Yaoyorozu scold someone else besides herself. She could see Yaoyorozu shaking her head, and the track guy rubbing the back of his head as she spoke. Kyouka snickers to herself, "Sucks to suck."

The track team guy walks away after Yaoyorozu's quick scolding. She returns looking annoyed, causing Kyouka to feel scared for herself. This wasn't the time to make any snarky comments. Once Yaoyorozu sees Kyouka's distressed expression, her own expression softens. "Forgive me, I had to deal with something." She gives Kyouka a small smile.

"U-Uh..." The smile Yaoyorozu gave her made Kyouka's mouth hang open. Catching herself being embarrassing, Kyouka clears her throat and looks back at her notebook. "Th-This right here." Kyouka points to the problem she was stuck on.

"Ah I see." Instead of grabbing a chair and sitting next to Kyouka, Yaoyorozu leans right over her shoulder. She can feel a part of Yaoyorozu's body brush against her own for a second. Her eyes widen. She sits completely still as Yaoyorozu explains how to solve the problem. Trying to keep her concentration, Kyouka continues to sit completely still. "Understand?"

"Yes." Kyouka slowly breathes out.

"Good." Yaoyorozu pulls back, and Kyouka silently lets out the deep breath she didn't know she was holding. "Due to unforeseen events, I will be leaving first."

Yaoyorozu starts to pack up her things. Kyouka scratches her head, "You don't have to talk like that to me."

"Huh?" Yaoyorozu looks up at Kyouka. Kyouka averts eye contact by looking off to the side.

"Now why the hell did I say that?" Kyouka internally curses herself out. Speaking without thinking really screws Kyouka up. She clears her throat,"...You can be casual. It must be...tiring talking so formally all the time."

"Oh I see." Yaoyorozu nods to herself. Kyouka watches from the corner of her eye. "Okay then. I'll see you later." She gives Kyouka a small wave and smile. Kyouka feels her face heat up and she looks away.

"What the hell...!" Kyouka looks down at her lap.

Kyouka brings out her phone, already typing a message to Mina.

Jirou: Prez approached me in the library, wasn't bad.

It's not like she hasn't seen Yaoyorozu's smile before. Kyouka's seen it when she talks to their other classmates. But Yaoyorozu smiling at her is new. It feels a little different and Kyouka doesn't quite understand it. But Kyouka kind of felt lucky having got to experience it not only once, but twice.

"Wait what am I thinking?!" Kyouka shakes her head. "She's just hot that's all...Nothing more." Kyouka leans back in her seat. She feels her phone vibrate. Looking at the message she received makes her roll her eyes.

Ashido: wtf are u doing in the library
