Itsuka and Izuku weren't meeting up at the beach today seeing as how it was a rest day, after all, those were needed so that your body could repair its muscles properly and keep you from injuring yourself. Because of this blessed day, she had more sleep to help her stay energized throughout her day and she met up with Sukami and Nawara after saying goodbye to her parents. The trio had gone to eat some breakfast together at a place called "Yukihira Diner" which also went by the name "Restaurant Yukihira" before going to school since it had 5-star ratings across the board online, and everyone who went there said it served the best food in the world hands-down. Itsuka, Sukami, and Nawara went in there expecting great food and service, but what they got transcended that. The food was served in no time at all. What's more, every bite they ate they were hit with giant amounts of flavor, wave after wave, never letting them rest and blowing their clothes off in the process of eating. The food was so heavenly their faces wouldn't stop blushing and their bodies wouldn't stop feeling hot. They split the bill among themselves and struggled to get their shaking legs to carry them out of the diner, where the red-haired owner with a scar on his eyebrow thanked them and wished them well.

'Who knew tasty food such as this existed right under our noses?' Itsuka would definitely be back here someday, she had a feeling she would never get tired of the food. Her body felt amazing with the extra rest and the amazing food to start off her day, she felt as if she could fight an army by herself.

'Oh my god, I can still feel the warmth coursing through my body!' Sukami was fidgeting and rubbing her thighs together while walking, resulting in some odd stares from strangers that caught her in the act. For some reason the odd stares and whispering about her weird behavior made her feel even warmer inside, this was a strange new sensation for the young girl.

'This is so embarrassing...' Nawara was probably faring the most embarrassment out of the three of them. The food was too good for her body to handle. 'I need to change my underwear...' Yep. The food was definitely too good for her body to handle. She looked at the two girls who were standing on either side of her and got their attention.

"Um, I-I, uhhh. I need to make a quick s-stop at my house before we continue to s-school..."

Itsuka looked at Sukami who was still in her "weird mode" and then back towards Nawara who also seemed to have something going on. She wasn't gonna pry, the sooner this was done, the sooner they got to school. "Sure where do you need to go?"

Nawara's voice was so slow she was almost whispering out of embarrassment, "I need to go home and change..."

Itsuka looked at her friend with a puzzled expression, "What exactly do you need to ch-"

*Drip*

Itsuka stopped mid-sentence and looked at the ground under Nawara, where something just dripped, then the dots connected. Itsuka gained a dust of a blush on her cheeks and nodded to her friend to lead the way.

Nawara lead the way. But Itsuka's gaze hadn't been missed by her. 'She definitely saaawww!' If she could disappear off the face of the earth right now, she probably would have done it instead of live with the fact that her friend had learned an embarrassing thing about her.

...

Nawara came out of her house and joined her two friends again. With the effects of the food gone from their systems and the three of them ready to walk to school again they embarked on their journey once more. Itsuka tried to speak to her blue-haired friend and tell her that it was fine and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. "Hey Nawara listen-"

Nawara promptly ignored Itsuka, kept her gaze down, and picked her pace up so she was a step or two in front of the orange and silver-haired girls, 'I'm not talking about it, no way no way no way no way.' She definitely didn't want anyone to see the embarrassed blush on her face, especially Sukami.

Itsuka sighed, she felt really bad for her friend but she would come back to normal eventually, they say time heals all wounds right? Shifting her gaze towards her other friend Sukami, who was confused as to why Nawara was acting the way she was, smiled a bit. Nawara had gotten lucky that Sukami had been too busy with herself to notice what happened, otherwise she would have probably gotten teased to death by her. Through the rest of their walk to school, Itsuka and Sukami engaged in some small talk about anything that came to their minds. Sukami noted that Itsuka seemed to be in a good mood today, to which Itsuka answered with the fact that she had a good dream last night. Itsuka asked Sukami how things were going with her studies and Sukami said she wasn't studying as she usually did. Then Sukami proceeded to tell Itsuka about a funny video she saw online yesterday and explained it in perfect detail which made Itsuka laugh. All throughout their walk they kept talking with each other. Eventually, Nawara slowed down and matched their pace, and then proceeded to also join the light-atmosphere-talk they were having which put the trio back together.

Itsuka sweatdropped at Nawar's behavior, 'I guess time heals wounds faster than I thought?' At the thought of time she remembered Izuku and stared at the sky for a good moment, she really was in a good mood today.

...

The trio arrived at school about 5 minutes early and were making their way to class. However, Itsuka noticed an underclassman passing by that needed help carrying some heavy book and offered to help. "You two can go ahead and beat me to class, I'll catch up once I'm done here." They nodded and then left Itsuka to help the student.

Once they finished getting the books to their location, the underclassman thanked Itsuka, and then they both made their way to their class for the day. Itsuka entered the class and started her routine for the day. First, she put a stop to some boys attempting to set a stink bomb next to where the teacher would be. Then she stopped some other boys from trying to escape school from the window and hop on the trees outside. 'If you're going so far as to jump out a window to leave school, why even show up?' After that, she also stopped some boys from trying to copy homework answers from one of the shy girls in the class. When class started she still wasn't done, she stopped some boys from shooting the teacher with spitballs. She also stopped some other boys from stealing the teacher's papers while the teacher was in the bathroom. In addition to that, she caught two boys cheating on a pop quiz that they were taking. She even stopped some boys who were trying to waste time by initiating a fight with both the other boys and the teacher. Overall, it was a busy day for her.

She offered to help her teacher with some things before she left and once again told her two friends to go on home before her. After she finished some tasks for the teacher, she packed her stuff and finally got ready to leave school. The school was pretty much empty seeing as how most students had gone home, the only ones left were students who were members of some kind of sport or extracurricular after-school activities. Itsuka liked it when it was peaceful like this, with no loud sounds and no annoying classmates to deal with all the time. This was one of the few moments she could enjoy the silence. Itsuka was just exiting the building behind two boys with black and brown hair when she heard them start speaking with each other.

"Dang I got another bad grade today, the teacher pisses me off so much."

"Did you even attempt to study?"

"Who wastes their time studying these days?"

"Hah loser!"

"..."

"..."

"You didn't study either did you?"

"...No"

"Well since we both failed our exam, wanna go take our stress out on that?"

"If you're thinking what I'm thinking then I'm all for it!"

Itsuka was holding back a snicker at how bad these two boys were when it came to school, and she decided to ignore what they were talking about till they said a certain something.

"That useless Deku better be ready for a beating."

Itsuka's heart froze for a split second and then started beating quicker. Dreadful thoughts filling her head.

"I'm gonna enjoy watching his face scrunch in pain, it'll definitely take my mind off things."

'No, no no no. It couldn't be right?'

"After you're done with him, I'll kick so much mud and dirt onto his green hair, it'll be like it was always brown!"

At that point Itsuka had enough, she lunged at the black-haired boy and gripped his collar with so much force, she was hurting her own hands in the process.

"What the, hey, what do you think you're doing!?" The brown hair stood off to the side, not wanting to get involved.

"Are you talking about a boy with green hair, freckles, and who goes to Aldera Middle?" Itsuka wasn't simply asking a question, she was demanding answers. Her tone was heavy and the look in her eyes told them that she was really upset and probably mad.

"So what if I am? He deserves to be beaten up!"

"Why would anyone deserve to be beaten up!?"

"Because the darn loser is QUIRKLESS!"

"I-I..." Izuku started, trying to look her in the eyes but failing. "I-I don't have the best h-history with o-others."

Itsuka froze and loosened her grip, that's why Izuku shook when he thought he annoyed her, that's why he's always jumpy and not good socially. That's why Izuku thought she would hurt him. It all clicked in place for Itsuka, who suddenly felt sick to her stomach. Why had he never told her before?

She had never asked what his quirk was.

'Of course, he wouldn't willingly admit that he was quirkless, it's probably caused him lots of pain and so he doesn't mention it.' Itsuka's heart clenched, and a certain thought entered her mind. 'Did Midoriya think I would be the same as everyone else and hurt him?'

The boy in her grip spoke again, "Even if we don't do anything to him, I already know he gets it plenty of times from everyone over at Aldera. Heck, he's probably on the ground and injured right now!"

That one sentence brought Itsuka back from getting lost in her thoughts. She spun her body, lifted the boy over her shoulder, and slammed him as hard as she could onto the ground, to make sure he felt some pain which judging by his painful yell he probably did. Then picked her bag back up and sprinted as fast as she could to Aldera.

When Itsuka woke up today she had been expecting a light and relaxing day, with she and Izuku meeting up tomorrow as usual to train for UA which was a couple of days away. She had thought the worst thing that would happen today would be that she would be dealing with the boys in her class. Itsuka could never have expected something like this to happen today. 'Hang on Midoriya, I'm on my way!'
