The next day of school started a bit different than the other days. As Suzuka, Izuku and Katsuki approached school, they were surprised to find a huge crowd of reporters waiting for them at the gates. As the three teens approached, the reporters turned on them, like a pack of wild dogs to a carcass. Suzuka was prepared and before the reporters could descend, she threw up a quick shield, which they pressed in on eagerly.

"Could you tell us what it's like to have All Might as your teacher?"

"What do All Might's lessons consist of?"

"Does All Might wear his silver age costume or a does he have a new costume he uses in the classroom?" The reporters questions were many, and had it not been for Suzuka's shield she was certain that the three of them would have been crushed by the massive sea of reporters.

"Damn reporters. Can't even let student's come to school in peace." Katsuki groused from behind Suzuka.

"Hey, aren't you that sludge villain kid?" One reporter asked from the other side of the invisible barrier. Katsuki glared at the reporter, igniting his hand as he did.

"Walk away." Katsuki threatened. The reporter gave a placating smile, pushing off against Suzuka's shield and disappearing into the crowd.

"I've already told you parasites to get out of here." A tired voice came from the other side of the wall. The sea of reporters parted, and Aizawa stood just on the other side of them, eyeing Suzuka, Izuku and Katsuki warily. Once he realized they were alright, he beckoned the three children forward, and Suzuka gladly pushed them through the wave of reporters. "All Might isn't on campus today, now get out of here, you've disturbed my students enough already." Aizawa snapped at them, stepping to the side to let the teens through.

"Thanks for the assist." Katsuki grumbled, taking off down the hall as Suzuka let down her shield.

"Yes, thank you Mister Aizawa." Izuku smiled at their teacher. Aizawa rolled his eyes, following Katsuki down the hallways.

"Just hurry up and get to class. You're late."

As Aizawa had said,the rest of the class was already in their seats and waiting for the three of them when they arrived. Suzuka gave the room a sheepish grin as all eyes landed on them. Quietly, she slunk to her seat, burying her face in her hands as she took it.

"The reporters got to you too, huh?" Mezo asked, turning around in his seat.

"The bunch of vultures." Suzuka groused, pulling her books out of her bag. Thanks to Katsuki, she still had half a math worksheet to do before their next class.

"Yeah, nobody wanted to talk to the freak with six eyeballs." Mezo teased, turning all of his extra appendages into eyes. Suzuka snorted, pushing one away from her face.

"Shoji, our class is beginning, so if you wouldn't mind…" Aizawa trailed off, giving Mezo a very pointed look. Shoji cleared his throat, bringing his arms to his side.

"Sorry, sir." He said bashfully. Katsuki snorted from beside him, his eyes narrowed at the multi armed boy. Izuku stifled a laugh, earning a tough look from his sister.

"I've finished reviewing your battle simulations from yesterday, and I must say, I am impressed. Bakugou," Aizawa turned to the ash haired boy, who glared up at his teacher, bored. "You're talented, so don't sulk like a child about your hand to hand with Midorya." Aizawa told him. Katsuki growled audibly, looking away from the teacher and off towards the wall. Behind him Izuku frowned and Suzuka gave him a questioning look. "As for the Midorya Twins, not bad. Suzuka, good job staving off Iida to capture him, but I think you relied too much on him making a mistake like he did. You didn't have a good plan of action, which is vital to a successful hero mission." Aizawa scolded her. Suzuka frowned at him, she did have a plan, until she realized he'd removed anything out of the room she could use as a weapon. She made a mental note to be more adaptable in the future "As for Izuku, I see the only way you were able to best Katsuki is by hurting your arm again, which not only destroyed the building, but put your partner and the bomb in danger. You're strong, but you can work harder. I don't want to hear any excuses about how you can't control your quirk. that line is already getting old." Aizawa told him cooly. Suzuka glanced over at her brother, who was watching his lap in shame. "You can't keep breaking your body while training here, but your quirk will be very useful if you can get a handle on it, so show a little urgency, huh?"

After Aizawa was done reviewing everyone's battle, he had another surprise for them, today they would be electing representatives for their class. Suzuka couldn't help but be excited, she had been her class rep in middle school and was hoping desperately that she would again have the seat in high school. Beside her, she saw Izuku give her a thumbs up and she grinned at him happily.

"In a normal classroom, the class rep would just be more work, cleaning duties and responsibilities, but here at UA being the class rep allows you to prove to hero agencies that your responsible and reliable. It's a good way to show off with something besides your quirk." Aizawa told the class. Well that was news to literally everyone, and the entire class began to shout about how they deserved to be class rep. Suzuka felt her heart sink, she wasn't the most popular student, she mostly kept to herself, so she knew that this class rep decision would be more of a popularity contest than anything.

"Everyone silence! Please!" Iida shouted above the others, surprisingly quieting them all. "The class rep is an important job, it requires responsibility and it's not something that just anyone can do. You must first have the trust of every student in the classroom, therefore logically the best way to fill this position is democratically. An election is the best way!" He informed them. Suzuka smirked, rolling her eyes. It was pretty obvious that Iida wanted that rep position as well.

"But we've only known each other for a few days, how do we know who we can trust?" Tsuyu asked.

"Besides, everyone will just vote for themselves." Kirishima chimed in.

"Most people will, but that means whoever does get the most votes must truly be the most suitable candidate." Iida told them as if it were obvious.

"It's a good thought…." Suzuka muttered, glancing over at Izuku and Katsuki. Katsuki was watching her with pursed lips, and Suzuka gestured with her hand, as if to say What?

"Do what you want, just decide before my naps over." Aizawa said, already crawling into his yellow sleeping bag. Suzuka wondered for a minute where he kept the damn thing when he wasn't in it.

Even if it didn't make much sense, voting for a class rep was the best way to decide. Most people voted for themselves, like Kirishima said they would, but to everyone's surprise three names came out above the others.

Izuku Midorya- 3 votes

Suzuka Midorya - 2 votes

Momo Yaoyorozu- 3 votes

Suzuka didn't like the results, not one bit, and she sighed as she watch the blackboard with a frown. She had liked being class rep, but I guess this year it was not meant to be. Katsuki growled, slamming his hands on the desk.

"Alright, which of you idiots voted for him!?" He huffed, watching the classroom through slits. Suzuka rolled her eyes at him, only to be ignored by Katsuki as he continued to glare at them.

"What?! How did I get three votes?!" Izuku stammered. Suzuka forced a smile, shrugging at her brother. "I'm sorry you didn't get it, Suzu." Izuku said from his seat. Suzuka waved him off with a smile.

"It's alright, Izuku, I'm sure you'll do great." She told him despite how very jealous she was. In all honesty it wasn't fair that he won, as much as she loved her brother, she was still sore about the quirk mess, but, like she'd feared, it was a popularity contest and Izuku's new quirk was flashy while Yaoyorozu was openly smart. Suzuka never stood a chance, even if she did get more votes than she'd expected. She knew Izuku was one of her votes, but the other was a mystery considering she gave Tenya Iida his only vote.

Who was my second vote? Suzuka wondered to herself, planting her chin in her palm. In front of her, Shoji turned to give Suzuka a smile.

"You were close." Shoji offered and Suzuka grinned at him.

"Almost." She said raising her index finger and her thumb. It must have been Shoji. She thought to herself happily.

Suzuka sat quietly at her lunch table, snacking on her fried noodles and an egg roll she'd picked up from Lunch Rush. In her left hand she was reading a book, just one of the many "suggested reading" titles from Cementoss' reading lists. She was actually surprised to find that she already owned most of the titles, but what was the harm in re-reading them?

"Hey, girl. Whatcha reading?" Mina Aishido asked Suzuka as she took a seat across the table from her. Suzuka froze, eyeing the lunch room carefully. She was surprised to find that several other girls were joining her at her solitary table.

"Uh-" Suzuka sputtered, showing off the cover as her mouth was still full.

"Oh, that's on Cementoss' reading list, huh?" Hakagure chimed in, taking a seat next to Mina.

"Oh, you've started that?" Aishido asked, cracking her chopsticks.

"You haven't?" Momo Yaoyorozu spoke as she sat to Suzuka's left. Aishido looked thoughtful for a moment before shaking her head.

"Nope, reading is bo-o-oring." She teased, digging into her lunch. Yaoyorozu rolled her eyes at Aishido, turning to Suzuka with a smile.

"I love that book." She told her. The table grew awkwardly quiet while the girls began to eat their lunch, before Yaoyorozu spoke again. "I hope you don't mind us sitting here?" The creator asked Suzuka. Suzuka shook her head.

"Oh, not at all." Suzuka smiled. "I'm used to eating lunch alone, so it's nice to sit with people. At my middle school no one really wanted to sit with the class rep." She confessed sheepishly. "Except my brother." Suzuka added as an afterthought.

"You were class rep at your old school? That's neat!" Hakagure cheered, while Aishido nodded her head in agreement. "It would have been cool if you both would have won! Could you imagine the looks on those boy's faces if girls got both of the positions?"

"Izuku will do just fine." Suzuka's voice was quiet. She didn't doubt her brother's abilities at all, but still, she was sore. The girls around Suzuka began to chatter mindlessly, and Suzuka couldn't help but smile at her new lunch mates.

"Hey, ladies!" Kirishima smiled at them as he sat to Hakagure's left. Denki Kaminari followed quickly behind Kirishima, placing his tray next to the redhead's. Suddenly Suzuka was feeling cramped and she looked around the lunchroom for anything to distract her. Izuku was happily sitting at a full table with Tenya and Ochako, but the twins made eye contact and he gave his sister a quick thumbs up, which left her feeling a fraction better about being set at a table with strangers. But she did wish that somebody was there that she was familiar with.

"-The way you wrapped Iida up was so manly!" Kirishima finished. He'd obviously been talking to Suzuka for quite some time, but she was too preoccupied to listen.

"Oh, uh, thank you!" Suzuka rubbed the back of her neck, embarrassed. "it was just dumb luck." She poo pooed.

"I don't think so," Kirishima said again, taking a big bite of his food. "I know that's what Aizawa said, but if you ask me, he's such a hard ass- Hey! Bakugou!" Kirishima suddenly shouted, waving off behind Suzuka. Suzuka turned in her seat, surprised to find Katsuki heading her way, lunch tray in hand. He'd nearly made it to their table when a loud siren began to ring out. Katsuki froze where he stood glaring up at the ceiling, as Suzuka and the rest of her table did the same.

"Warning, level three security breach! All students please evacuate the facility now!" Came a hollow voice. The students in the lunchroom began to panic, and before Suzuka could even stand, she had nearly been knocked out of her chair by a terrified second year.

"Oh!"she gasped as their entire table was jostled, the rest of her classmates getting to their feet.

"This is not good!" Kirishima shouted as the cafeteria broke into mad chaos. Suzuka glanced towards her brother's table to find that he was already in the process of forcefully vacating his seat. He dared a terrified glance Suzuka's way, but a wave of students came between them, pushing Izuku, Tenya and Ochako with them. "We need to get out of here!" Kirishima explained, pointing off to the doors

"Right!" Suzuka agreed, as she too let the students corral around her. Panicked, Suzuka looked around behind her, seeing Katsuki's ash blonde mop several students back in the mob. "Kachaan!" Suzuka cried out, catching his attention as he strained to see over the her attentions directed elsewhere, Suzuka had managed to lose her footing, the poor girl tripped, falling down into the mob of people.

"Midorya!" She heard her group of friends call out collectively as they were quickly herded away from her.

"Oh-HEY!" Suzuka shrieked, bringing her hands up to her face as fellow students stepped around her. She could feel her anxiety rising as hundreds of people seemed to stampede over her. Several hands wrapped around Suzuka's arm, and they yanked her up out of the crowd. It was Mezo, and on his back rode the little purple haired boy, Mineta.

"Are you alright?" Shoji asked her, pulling her closer to him. He gave her a quick once over, as did Mineta, though his eyes were much more lascivious than Mezo's.

"Yeah, do you need mouth to mouth Midorya? I accept!" Mineta asked proudly, like a martyr.

"I'm fine." Suzuka muttered, ignoring Mineta and checking herself. Her face paled as she turned to look out into the crowd. She'd lost her book, it was one of her favorites.

"What's wrong?" Mezo asked her.

"My book!" Suzuka said frantically. Did she leave it on the table or had she dropped it when she fell? She couldn't remember. Again she turned, trying to look amongst the crowd, but to her chagrin another large wave of students pushed their way past her and Suzuka found she was again separated from her friend. "No! Hey!" She shouted as the group corralled her into the tiny hallway, shoving her up against the windows brutally.

Suzuka began to panic, but this time it was not about her lost book. Her face was shoved forcefully into the cold, hard, pane of glass as her fellow schoolmates stampeded around her. She tried her best to shove herself away from the window, but she wasn't strong enough to move them and in her panic she couldn't concentrate enough to grasp at the kinetic field around her. Another shove collapsed her arms underneath her, and she was fully pushed against the window, her breath hot on the glass. She began to hyperventilate, she couldn't breathe, she was going to suffocate.

"Move, losers!" Suzuka heard a feisty shout behind her. There was a rush of heat at her back, a small explosion, and the shoving stopped as a new body pressed against hers. On either side of Suzuka's head were hands, and in one of those hands was clutched her book. As the pressure of students was alleviated, Suzuka took a deep breath, turning where she stood.

"Kachaan!" She gasped, coughing as she did. Katsuki said nothing, as he pushed against the crowd at his back, giving Suzuka ample room to finally breathe. The boy eyed Suzuka quietly, checking first her face and then the rest of her. Once he knew she was okay, his look of concern quickly gave way to one of annoyance and he growled at nothing in particular.

"Shield, please! Now!" He demanded, as someone shoved him. With a growl he pushed back with more force. Now that Suzuka could breathe, she was more than happy to oblige. Once they were in the safety of her bubble, Katsuki relaxed, but he did not move, leaving one of his hands at Suzuka's eye level, while handing her the book that he clutched in the other. "I found your damn book unattended." Suzuka looked at the book in silence, taking it from him gently. She could feel her eyes burning, but she quickly wiped them away with the back of her hand. "Dori-?"

"That was terrifying!" Suzuka blurted out suddenly, turning her face into Katsuki's sleeve. She didn't want to cry, but now that she was safe she could barely contain the tears. Katsuki took an uncomfortable step towards her, lowering his face to her level. He knew as soon as he saw her disappear under the crowd, he needed to get to her, fast. Katsuki feared the worst when he saw Suzuka shoved up against the window, and he fought tooth and nail to get to her. Thankfully, she was as barely worse for wear, a few scrapes and a bruise above her eyebrow. He'd expected her to be shaken, but he was loathed to see her cry.

"Suzuka-" He started, as a loud voice interrupted him.

"Listen up! Everything is okay!" It was Iida, and as soon as Suzuka heard his voice, her sobs stopped. Taking a deep breath, her and Katsuki both looked for the blue haired speedster, who had somehow found his way above the exit sign, where he stood proudly, shouting to the crowd. "It's just the media outside! There's absolutely nothing to worry about! Everything is fine!" He spoke again. Suzuka turned around, glancing out the large window behind her. He was right, from her spot on the window Suzuka could barely make out a crowd of reporters and cameras behind some bushes.

"Damn vultures." Katsuki hissed his face mere inches from her own. Surprisingly, the rest of the panicking students began to calm, quieting down from a riotous mob to a hushed crowd.

"We're UA students! We need to remain calm and remember we're the best of the best!" Iida continued, causing Suzuka's face to flush. He was right, she felt so silly for panicking the way she had. She dared a brief glance at Katsuki, who was watching the scene unfold behind her with narrowed eyes. It was only then that she realized how close he was and how wet she'd his sleeve.

"The police are here." He muttered, removing his hands from either side of Suzuka's head. He seemed unbothered, and with a sigh Suzuka dropped her shield from around them. She needed to apologize for crying all over his sleeve, and as the students around her began to file out in an orderly fashion, she made a mental note to do so.

"Alright class rep, let's begin." Momo said quietly from where she stood up at the podium. The trek back from lunch was surprisingly uneventful, considering what had happened during lunch. After the reporters were removed, the chaos dwindled back into monotony and class continued as usual. As promised, once they returned from lunch, the rest of the class officers were to be decided by the class rep and deputy rep, but it was taking a bit long than usual, Izuku seemed terrified at the podium.

"Right, we'll have to pick the rest of the officers." Izuku muttered, looking to Suzuka for help. Suzuka offered him a weak smile and he frowned at her before looking down at the podium. He opened his mouth to speak, but seemed to think better of it, before closing his mouth altogether. "No, no I have something to say." He told them before looking out at the class. "I've thought a lot about this, and I think that Tenya Iida should be our class rep!" Izuku blurted out. The class muttered amongst each other quietly, several of the students looking watching her expectantly. Suzuka's eyes grew wide and she looked down at her desk quietly. Katsuki scoffed from the desk beside her, sitting back in his seat with a huff. "I've thought a lot about this, he was able to capture everyone's attention today and get us in line during the confusion, so I believe that he should be the one leading our class from now on." Suzuka hated to admit, but Izuku had a point. While everyone, including herself, was busy panicking, Iida had an idea, and using his idea he may have saved several students from injury. He was able to lead the class out of the chaos. Suzuka sighed, and she stood up where she sat, tearing her eyes away from her desk to look at the speedster behind her.

"I agree." She spoke quietly, smiling at him. Tenya returned her smile, and as Suzuka sat down she felt much happier about her decision. Even if she did get more votes than him, she felt he definitely deserved it more than her. The class around her began to chatter excitedly.

"If the Twins vouch for him, I'm good."

"He totally saved my life, I'd have been crushed if it weren't for him." The students echoed their sentiments.

"If Midorya is nominating me for this job, then I humbly accept, and I pledge to carry out the duties of class rep to the best of my abilities!" Iida told them, gesturing wildly. Suzuka bit back a snort, shaking her head as Kirishima muttered something about manliness.

After school that day, the twins and Katsuki caught the train home together. During class, Suzuka was nominated to be Class Historian, which she was okay with. She loved note taking and record keeping was pretty similar. She'd loved being class rep, and even though she didn't get the job, she was perfectly okay with being on the student council.

"I was glad to see you making friends at lunch." Izuku said suddenly, jabbing Suzuka playfully with his shoulder. Suzuka glared at him.

"I'm capable of making friends." Suzuka told him flatly. Izuku gave her a small smile.

"I know you are. You've just… never had the opportunity to." Izuku continued carefully. Suzuka gave a soft laugh as she smiled at nothing in particular.

"Class reps weren't always popular in middle school. Nobody wanted to hang out with the teacher's pet." Suzuka told him as Izuku frowned at her. Katsuki shifted next to Suzuka.

"Damn nerd." He muttered quietly. Suzuka ignored him as Izuku spoke again.

"I was glad you were okay during the chaos." He continued, his tone a bit more quiet. "When I saw you disappear, I was worried."

"You can thank Kachaan for that. I was a mess until he got to me." Suzuka told him honestly. She dared a glance at Katsuki, who seemed to be preening. "It's part of the reason I advocated for Iida for Class Rep. What kind of Rep cowers when there's danger?" Suzuka continued. Sure, she had been a good class rep, loved the extra duties, but was she a great one? She wasn't exactly popular with the other students. Izuku frowned at his sister, turning to the ash blonde.

"Thank you, Kachaan." Izuku muttered. Katsuki glared at him.

"I don't want your thanks." He spat cooly as the train stopped at their destination. Without another word, the three exited, making a b line for the terminal exit. Once outside, Izuku turned to his sister and Katsuki.

"I've got to meet Toshinori, are you sure you'll be okay to walk home?" Izuku asked his sister.

"What, am I invisible?!" Katsuki raged. Izuku opened his mouth to speak, his jaws flapping quietly. Suzuka sighed, putting a hand on Katsuki's arm.

"Katsuki, he knows you train after school." Suzuka muttered, smiling at her brother.

"Like I wouldn't walk you home first?!" Katsuki continued, his mood barely pacified. Suzuka rolled her eyes.

"I'll be fine, Izuku." Suzuka assured him. Izuku nodded, waving them off as he left towards downtown. Suzuka turned to Katsuki, surprised to find him watching her. "What?"

"You were a great class rep, you know." He told her. "You were always quiet, that's why you didn't have more friends, but your whole class liked you."

"I-what?" Suzuka asked again, flabbergasted. Was he complimenting her? She didn't really know what to think, it wasn't often that Katsuki spoke to anyone like this. You could tell he was uncomfortable, Katsuki watched her for a moment, shrugging as he turned away from her.

"Being pushy doesn't make you a great leader, that's why I voted for you, not Iida." Katsuki informed her. Suzuka felt her heart jump somewhere in her throat, but she slowly pushed it down.

He voted for me? Suzuka was certain he'd voted for himself, as he had one vote on the board, but now that she remembered, Kirishima didn't have any votes. If Suzuka wasn't red before, she was now, and her cheeks grew hot like the sun.

"Kachaan-" Suzuka started, but she stopped when she met his eyes. They smoldered, his red eyes did, and he watched her with an intensity she'd only ever seen out of him when he was close to tearing off someone's head. It's a look that said he meant what he'd said, no posturing, all seriousness. "Thank you." She said quietly, bowing her head. "That means a lot to me."

"Tch, I'm only telling you the truth. Quit snivelling." He returned. Suzuka glared at the boy, all of his compliments thrown to the wind.

"I'm not snivelling!" She growled, shoving him to the side to walk past him. Katsuki scowled at her outwardly, but as soon as she passed he smiled at her. Suzuka glared at the ground beneath her feet with soft eyes. Suzuka decided then and there that she was going to make an effort to be more social. Suzuka wanted to be liked, just as much as the next high schooler, and if Katsuki and Izuku believed she could do it, then so did she.
