DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own My Hero Academia, just the plot and this book.
In this chapter I referenced some stuff from Vampire diaries so that's where the non Japanese names are from.
Enjoy! :)
I hate mornings, they always wake you up from a good nights sleep just to tell you that another stupid day has started. As you can tell I'm not a morning person so waking up in the morning is always a hard task for me and this morning is no different. I'm even having problems with the easiest task ever, EATING! I can't even focus on eating so there's no way I'm gonna get through any of the boring stuff at school today. I just hope we're gonna do some hero training today cause that could help me stay up but as of right now I can barely keep my eyes open I need some coffee, hopefully Ochaco's up so I can ask her to pick us up some coffee before we meet up to walk to school.
Ochaco lives pretty close to me so we usually walk together and since Ochaco lives next to a café we sometimes stop by before leaving for school. But right now I'm a little behind schedule because I stayed up late last night attempting to study but I ended up failing miserably because I get distracted easily. I make my way down stairs to grab the rest of the stuff I need for the day before quickly dialing Ochaco's number. As I waited for her to answer I start to put my shoes on and finish my toast at the same time. When she finally answered I stopped in my place...
"Hey Mina, what's up?"
"Hey, Just wanted to tell you that I might be a little late."
"*giggles* You stayed up late again?"
"I was trying to study ok! Just got a little distracted."
"Let me guess, you where watching Vampire diaries?"
"It's not my fault! You know it's an amazing show with amazing looking men!"
"I mean your not wrong but still Mina you could've waited until the weekend."
"Says the one that agreed to binge watch it with me tomorrow *giggles*"
"Oh shut up Mina *giggles* I only agreed because tomorrow's Friday. But anyways have you left the house yet?"
"I'm getting ready to. Sorry for making you wait."
"I'm actually leaving now too so don't worry about it."
"Perfect! Since your over there can you get us some coffee? I'll pay you back~"
"Yeah I'll get it but you don't have to pay me back."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really. You just need to buy me lunch."
"Ochaco! Coffee isn't even as expensive as food, especially at your favorite restaurant!"
"Mina, I buy your coffee all the time. This is your chance to pay me back."
"You've only bought me coffee three times!"
"We've only gotten coffee three times!"
"But Ochacoooooooo!"
"But Minaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Ugh! Fine I'll get you lunch."
"Awwww! Thanks girl, love ya."
"Oh shut up."
"*giggles* Alright, see you soon."
"See ya."
I hang up the phone and walk out the house, I make my way to our spot. When I got there Ochaco was already there waiting for me with our coffee in her hands,
"Hey girl!" I jumped from around the corner and shook her a little, scaring her she let go of the coffee but quickly caught them with her quirk.
"Good save! But you should be more careful, we could've lost our coffee." She turns her head slowly, still stunned by my sneak attack she looks at me with a deadly/frightened face.
"Well maybe you shouldn't scared me! Why did you do that anyways?!" I shrug my shoulders,
"Cause it's fun?" She stares at me with an irritated face. Decided it would be best not to discuss it further she hands me my coffee and we start our walk.
For the first minute we walk in silence, which is kinda bothering me. I try starting a conversation but she completely ignores me like I'm not even here.
"Ochacooo! Are you still mad at me?" She finally looks at me and nods aggressively
"You know I hate it when people scare me."
"Yeah I know. I just thought it could help you wake up a bit." She shoves her coffee in my face
"That's what this is for." I chuckle a little, when Ochaco's upset like this it's kinda hard to take her seriously, but when she's actually mad it's a completely different story. Lucky for me she's not that upset cause there's no way to get her to stop being mad at you until she feels like it and that could take forever!
I pull her into one of my unbreakable hugs and mushed my face again one of her pink cheeks.
"I know and I'm sowy. I just thought it would be funny to see your reaction." She rolled her eyes and smiled
"Ok fine, I'll forgive you." I release her from my hug and we continue to walk.
"What do you think were gonna do in class today?" I shrug my shoulders,
"Not sure, but I hope we do some hero training cause I'm tired of having to do math all the time." She looks at me confused,
"We only worked on math yesterday, before that we spent the hole day training."
"And in that span of time I realized that I'm bad at it and that I wast my time trying to do it."
"Didn't Kirishima let you come to one of his tutoring sessions? How did that turn out?"
"Ugh. Just thinking about it makes me upset."
"Was it that bad?" I nod in response. I go on to explain everything that happened yesterday, how Bakugo is my new tutor, how we keep arguing and how we got kicked out of the library. At the end of my story she was a laughing mess, "How is this funny!?" She calms down a little before speaking, "What you went through wasn't funny, just the fact that y'all got kicked out the library is priceless!" I crossed my arms impatiently waiting for her to stop laughing at my situation. When she finally stopped laughing she apologized, she took a deep breath before laughing a little bit "Ha~, Ok I'm done *ahem* so what do you plan to do?"
"I wanna try to get on Bakugo's good side, it's the less I can do for Kirishima." She nods,
"So how exactly do you plan to do that? Bakugo is kind of a jerk." I look at her with a face that screamed 'oh really? you don't say.' Bakugo IS a jerk. Actually calling him a jerk is an understatement, he's a fucking asshole!
"I don't know. It's like every time I try to be nice to him he just finds it annoying, like that one time I asked him why he's always upset all the time." From behind me I could hear something being hit, I look behind me to see Ochaco face palming, she looks back at me,
"Of all the things you could've said, why that?"
"I was just curious. It's not normal for a person to be upset all the time for no reason."
"Well now I get why he got upset. Mina you can't ask people stuff like that, especially if that person is Bakugo."
"Yeah, I realize that now. Bakugo is... how do I put this, special." She nods in agreement as she sips some of her coffee.
"Ochaco, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while."
"What's up?"
"Damon or Stefan?"
"I thought you were gonna ask me something that related to what we were talking about?"
"I was getting aggravated just thinking about that Pomeranian so I decided to change the subject. Now, answer the question!"
"Pfff Well ok, I'm gonna have to say Stefan."
"What!? Why Stefan!? Damon is way better and hotter!"
"Stefan's cute too! And Damon's a jerk!"
"Sure he's cute but Damon is F.I.N.E! And his mean attitude makes him even more attractive."
"But Stefan's so sweet and kind. Damon's rude and selfish."
"That may be true but he will do anything for the people he loves, and did I forget to mention he's hot!?"
"Nope. You said that about three times now."
The rest of our walk to school consisted of us debating on which of the Salvatore brothers was the better person to date. When we finally made it to our class most of our classmates were already there. Parting ways with Ochaco I sat down in my seat, waiting for whatever today was gonna throw at me. When the bell rung Mr. Aizawa slowly came out of his sleeping bag, we waited for for a minute before he finally started talking. "Today we're gonna be training in the Unforeseen Simulation joint so put on your hero outfits. Further instructions will be given when you get there."
25 minutes later
"Alright, now that everyone's here we can start. Today we're gonna be doing an activity called "Bodyguard". In this activity you will be partnered up with someone, one of you will be the bodyguard and the other will be the "injured" civilian. The job of the bodyguard is to get the civilian out of that building safely." He points to one of the big gray buildings behind him. "The only way you can fail is if you civilian "dies", the bodyguard leaves their partner or if the civilian uses their quirk. If I call your name you're the bodyguard of your team, that same person will come up here to draw a person to be your civilian."
As people's names were being called I looked around to see if I could find Ochaco or Kirishima anywhere. Soon enough I saw Ochaco walking towards me with Midoriya walking behind her, he looks nervous. "Hey best friend! Hey Midoriya." Twiddling with his fingers he nervously waved at me, I look at Ochaco confused and she just shrugged her shoulders, "Who do you think you're gonna get?"
"I don't know but I don't really care who I get to be honest."
"You say that now but when you get Mineta your gonna be upset~."
"Don't jinx me Ochaco!" I push her lightly as we share a laugh.
"Uraraka! Come pick your partner."
"I'll be back in a sec." she walks away leaving me with Midoriya, it's a little awkward cause we never really talk unless it's about school. I could talk to him about All might or something that has to do with hero's, but didn't I yell at him yesterday? He might think I don't like him or something I should apologize, I don't want him to think that I'm a mean person, cause I'm not. "Ummm, I'm sorry about yesterday, I didn't mean to yell at you I was just a little frustrated with Bakugo."
"O-oh no, I-it's fine. I know how Kachan can get."
"Cool, guess I don't have to worry about you hating me anymore."
"H-hate you? W-why would I hate you? I know that we don't get the chance to talk much but that doesn't mean I hate you. You're a really nice and fun person and I was hoping that one day we could get to know each other." He looks up from his hand to see me smiling at him. He starts to freak out a little with a blush on his face, he's so adorable. "I-I didn't mean that in a weird way! I just meant like i-in a friendly way!" He stops freaking out when I stared to laugh. "It's fine Midoriya, it wasn't weird at all. Your such a nice guy, no wonder why Ochaco re- *loud muffling noises*" someone (I'm assuming Ochaco) jumped on my back and covered my mouth!
"HAHA Mina! Mr. Aizawa just called your name, so instead of talking Deku's ear off maybe you can SHUT UP and go pick your partner."
"U-Uraraka, I-it's ok, she wasn't bothering me. We were just tal... ok I'll stop talking now." I couldn't see her face but I could tell that she was glaring at him from behind me which scared the poor boy. I pull her hand off my mouth before I started making my way to Aizawa. "It's fine Midoriya, Ochaco's right. I should hurry over before Mr. Aizawa get's upset." I quickly make my way over to Aizawa, before reaching into the box to pick my partner I pray to the gods to NOT give me Mineta. I reach into the box and pull out the ripped sheet of paper that had my partner-to-be's name on it.
"Nononono! Give me Mineta God! GIVE ME MINETA!"
"Wow. Mina wants me so bad. *that ugly laugh he dose*"
"Pshhh, like Mina would be into a grape."
"It's actually Grape Juice thank you very much."
"On second thought God forget what I just said...Just give me anyone else!" A hand was placed on my shoulder, I follow the arm to find Kirishima's eyes looking down at me. "Who'd you get?" I hand him the sheet of paper "Read it yourself." Ochaco already over here looked at the paper too and it didn't take them long to start laughing. I roll my eyes and make my way to find my partner while Aizawa was calling other people. I find my partner by himself leaning against a tree with his eyes closed and his hands in his pockets.
"Aye, Bakugo."
"..."
"Bakugo."
"..."
Is he def or is he just ignoring me? I walk up to his left ear and take a silent deep breath.
"BAKUGO!"
He covers his left ear with both of his hands. "WHAT THE FUCK PINKY!? WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!"
"Ohh! So now you can hear me." He rolls his eyes at me and looks away, "What do you want!?" I cross my arms and point behind me, "Mr. Aizawa is almost done calling name's so I came over to get you." He looks down at me with his normal annoyed face "That doesn't explain why you're bothering me, I'm capable of walking on my own, I don't need a chaperone." I think his annoyed vibe is contagious cause I'm pretty annoyed now, "Well Bakugo if Mr. Aizawa is almost done calling all the bodyguards to pick their partners and I'm over here trying to get you to come with me instead of hanging out with literally anyone else what do you think is going on here? I know it's a lot to think about so don't hurt yourself ok."
His eyes opened wide with anger, he got off the tree and faced me completely. "YOU DUMBASS! WHY'D YOU PICK ME!"
"Why are you blaming me!? I didn't pick you on purpose you idiot! The whole thing was random, I can't control that! So if you wanna yell at anyone go yell at Mr. Aizawa or the stupid box!"
"Why would I yell at a box!?"
"Because you yell at everythi-OCHACO!" I don't know when Ochaco and Kirishima came over but they did and she used her quirk on me! Kirishima went over to Bakugo to try and calm him down but Bakugo being himself refused it listen. "I'll put you down when you calm down." She turns around to face me, I cross my arms and bring my legs up to my chest and stick my tongue out at her. "HA, Jokes on you! I looove floating in the AHHH! *thump* *groans* air..." as I struggle to pick myself off the ground she laughed at me.
"Your a meanie Ochaco."
"That's pay back for what you did earlier."
"What I do? Oh do you mean when you scared Midoriya or the whole Stefan and Damon thing?"
"What do you think?"
"You might hit me if I tell you what I'm thinking." She face palms before dragging me to where Kirishima, Bakugo and everyone else was all lined up at. She placed me beside Bakugo and looked at us like she was our mom or something. "Y'all need to try to get along." Bakugo rolls his eyes at her and I glared at her she pats my shoulders and wished me good luck before going to her partner.
(BG)= bodyguard (C)= civilian
In total there were ten groups of two, the groups where:
(C)Aoyama (BG)Iida,
(BG)Asui (C)Yaoyorozu,
(BG)Uraraka (C)Kirishima,
(C)Ojiro (BG)Hagakure,
(BG)Kaminari (C)Minteta,
(BG)Kota (C)Sato,
(C)Shoji (BG)Tokoyami,
(C)Jiro (BG)Sero,
(C)Todoroki (BG) Midoriya
and finally
(C)Bakugo (BG)me.
"Now that everyone has their partner and everyone knows their roles I'm gonna need all the civilians to put these on." Aizawa was holding a box filled with these weird looking handcuffs. "Can I ask why they look like that?"
"And can I ask why I have to put them on!?"
Aizawa walks up to Bakugo and held out his hand, asking for his in return. Bakugo looks at him like he's stupid and shoves his hands in his pockets. Aizawa inhales hard and takes Bakugo's arm by force, leaving no room for objections. "These handcuff prevent the person wearing them to be able to use their quirks. We usually use them to help prevent villains from escaping but today we're using them to keep the civilians from using their quirks." As Aizawa explained what the handcuffs did he put the first pair on Bakugo and the longer he listened the angrier he got. "So we're not allowed to use our quirks!?" Aizawa nods "Yes. Only the Bodyguards can use their quirks."
"He already said this Bakugo, two times to be exact." I added my two cents in just to get him riled up. He growled at me but I ignored him , he turned his attention back to Aizawa, "Why didn't you make me the bodyguard!?"
"Cause I fell like you're not fit for that role, and in order for you to get to that point you'll need to understand what the person you're saving is going through."
"He's basically saying you suck at saving people."
"You're lucky I have these stupid fucking handcuffs on or you would be dead!?"
"See! This is the EXACT reason you're not the bodyguard! You're being mean for no reason!"
"No reason!? YOU WERE JUST TALKING SHIT!"
"I was just jok-*muffled noises*"
Aizawa covered our mouth's with his scarf thing before he tugged it, making it squeeze our mouth's enough so we couldn't make any noises. "Could you two stop bickering? It's starting to really annoy me, keep it up and I'll fail you both, understood?" We both nod and he released us.
"Why dose everyone keep on interrupting me!? Y'all could interrupt him to you know!?" Everyone stares at me for a good minute before walking towards the building we'll be observing each other in. I was silently walking next to Bakugo, we didn't say anything to each other, we didn't even want to look at each other and I hated that. If we're gonna get through this we have to try to get along for today, granted I don't like him and vice versa but we still need to get through this without trying to kill each other.
"Hey, I was a jerk earlier and I'm sorry about that but if we want to get through this we should try to get along. So are you actually gonna try to cooperate or are you just gonna ignore me and still be mean?" It takes him a little while to look at me, his normal angry face wasn't as intense as it usually is but he still looks a little upset. "I'm only agreeing with you because I don't wanna be the only one that fails, so don't mess this up for me Pinky !" I ignore his last remark, rolling my eyes at him and look forward with a pleased smile on my face, now we can finally get through this without yelling at each other... hopefully.
To be continued...
Before I end this chapter I wanted to talk about the Vampire Diaries references that I made in this chapter. If you remember in the beginning of the chapter Mina and Ochaco are arguing about which Salvatore brother is better. I wanted to put that dialogue in there so that you guys could see what type of guys their into. But then I thought about how some people don't watch Vampire Diaries so I thought I should explain. Damon (the one me and Mina's into) is the bad boy between the two. He's really selfish, a hottie and has no remorse but when it comes to the people he cares about he will protect them no matter what. He's also the type of guy that opens up around the people he loves (sound familiar???). Then there's Stephen (the one Ochaco likes), He's the good brother. He's really kind and sweet and always tries to help people (do you see what I'm getting at here?) Basically Damon represents Bakugo and Stephen represents Midoriya. I thought it was a cool little easter egg to put in there, if you can classify that as one, but yeah that's it for this
, I'm happy that people are enjoying the book so far and I hope that you'll keep reading, Kingbob is out.
