The pair headed in, getting some questioning looks from the group that was sitting on the couches relaxing. Alice had gave a friendly nod before heading towards the elevator, almost crashing into a startled Mineta who had just gotten back from a small time away. The purple haired male jumped back, ready to scold the person he bumped into when his gaze locked on the startled girl above him. She looked alarmed, not really sure how to respond to the shorter boy. She'd never met him and after just having an emotional roller coaster of a walk to the infirmary. She was not prepared. "Who is the BEAUTIFUL goddess I just bumped into." He jumped to his feet, giving a bow to her. He couldnt have been taller that 4 foot. "How rude of me." He straightened and ran his hand over the four "balls" that shaped his hair. "My name is Minoru Mineta. Who might you be?" He mentally could have slapped himself for not seeing her before. She wasnt as filled out as Momo, but she was pretty. The freckles were just the icing on the cake.
"Not talking to you is who she is gonna be." Mina appeared a few moment's later. The pink skinned girl linked her arm with Alice, who looked downright confused by the whole interaction. She had opened and closed her mouth, unable to talk before Mina took over. "First, this is Alice. Alice is a Field support student who is staying with us. Second, you are not to talk to her or put your grubby little hands on her. Got it?"
Mineta narrowed his eyes at Mina before dusting himself off. "Well, Then. Why is she here instead of in a support dorm? Not that Im complaining at all. Just curious." The male's lisp was more prominent now that Alice wasnt in panic mode.
"Im not support support." Alice began, which the male's gaze widened. Her voice matched her appearance- that was for sure. "Im a Field support. I take support classes in the morning to help catch up my general studies and then go on an independent study after lunch."
"Ohhh. Thats neat. If you ever need help getting caught up. You let me know." He gave her a wink and darted out of Mina's way before she slapped him.
The female took hold of Alice's shoulders and held her in place. "Do not talk to him. Do not look in his general direction. If he talks to you. You let me know, got it?" All Alice could do is nod in response.
"Good." she let the girl go and eyed Mineta as Alice hesitantly made her way to the elevator. This whole night had turned into something she really wanted to just get passed.
Per her first nights routine, she had gone down stairs to make a nest and settled into getting her work done once everyone had gone to sleep. Kirishima checked on her before he went back up stairs, leaving the girl to her own devices. She ended up passing out on her notes, sleeping for a few hours until she heard the familiar ding of the elevator.
Bakugo frowned once he saw her, staring at her with a mildly annoyed expression. "You are up again?" He asked, sauntering over to her instead of going to shower right away.
"Yeah. Got a lot done, but I did sleep for a few hours." She rubbed her face and let her head fall back, a soft groan escaping her lips. "I dozed off sometime last night."
Bakugo stared at her for a long moment, "About fucking time." he grumbled, his gaze finally snapping to Chess, who had stretched and was now watching Bakugo. "The fuck is up with your cat? He stares a lot."
"Cat's kinda do that. He likes to observe people." Alice mused faintly as Bakugo made his way around the couch to pick up some of her notes. She opened her mouth to object, but the male just turned away from her to read.
"Well its annoying, tell him to stop."
"I dont tell him to do anything. He sort of just does what he wants."
"Thats fucking creepy."
"You know what, it kinda is." Alice laughed to herself, which got a weird look from Bakugo. He sighed and handed her the paper.
"Not so fucking useless today. You actually spelled everything correctly this time around."
"Was that a compliment?" Alice rose a brow and the male looked absolutely disgusted.
"No. It wasnt." He turned on his heel and headed towards the showers, leaving Alice to sit alone with her thought again.
Alice laughed to herself, a faint grin on her lips. Bakugo wasnt all that bad when it was just him. Normally it was when he was in a large group was when he got irritable and yelled a lot. She ran her hand down Chess' back, going back to her work.
The girl's routine stayed the same for the next two weeks. She'd go to classes in the morning, do some work with WildSpire in the afternoon, and then go home and work a bit on her homework at night. She'd work until Bakugo came downstairs to get ready for the day and then try to get some sort of sleep before repeating the process all over again.
She didn't get her medication until the night before her provisional license test. Which wasnt the most ideal, but she was glad to sleep hard the night before. Alice woke up later then normal, making her way downstairs to grab something to eat before she headed to the gym. She had gotten caught up with her work a few days before, leaving her open to put something else in place of it. She spent a lot of time at night just working out or wandering around campus. Aizawa had given her permission as long as she didnt wander to far.
Alice grabbed her gym clothes and headed downstairs. She was up later than normal, but after weeks of not sleeping- she definitely was fine with it. Chess wandered down after her, slipping into her shadows as she waited for the elevator. "Mornin' Alice!" Uraraka appeared next to her, her own gym clothes over her shoulder. "Going to work out?"
"Yeah, I have my provisional license exam later this afternoon with Gang Orca. He said because I wasnt in the country at the time you guys got yours. Ill just have to pass his test and he'll do the paperwork." Alice stepped into the elevator, holding it for Uraraka. "Wanna work out together? I need to practice a few things." Alice smiled to the taller girl. She had gotten a lot closer to Uraraka over the past two weeks. The girl didnt mind just hanging out in her room as she studied or painted.
"Of course I would." Uraraka gently nudged the girl and they both grinned. Uraraka hadnt been this close to someone since elementary school, but with Alice it was such a natural thing. They just clicked, which is something she was grateful for. Uraraka hadnt really "clicked" with anyone here. She had friends, yeah- but nothing where she felt she could just... relax like this. The girl wasnt afraid of touching or being close to her. They could hold hands and Alice wouldnt say a word. Wouldnt judge her. "Is WildSpire ever gonna let you show off your quirk?"
Alice groaned as the elevator clicked open. Some of the other students looked up from what they were doing and waved as they headed to the showers to get changed. "Ive been itching. All Ive been doing is watching you guys practice, every single day. I can literally count the seconds it takes Denki to piss Bakugo off from the moment he opens his mouth or how long it takes Iida to fly off the handle to Bakugo's swearing. Its like a constant reminder that Im still a support student, even if I am being trained as field support." Alice had been writing in a journal about each students quirks and fighting styles. She had pages upon pages for each student she worked with. It was hard not to after almost 2 weeks of observing. Wildspire had explained that it would help in the long run, even if she didnt work with those students side by side. She had to know their styles and Quirks like the back of her hand because sometimes she didnt get to brief over situations when she was called to help.
"WildSpire is the most dramatic person I know. My Quirk isnt /that/ special. So Chess can turn into different things. Great, but Tokoyami and I have a similar Quirk- so you guys already know how I work." Alice rolled her eyes as they headed into the bathrooms and got to changing. They set their lockers side by side so it was easier to talk. "I have 0 idea what she is planning."
"Maybe its a secret," Uraraka tossed her shirt into the locker and grinned. "Maybe she has something big planned."
"Who knows. Ive known Wildspire since I was little, she's literally one of the most dramatic people I know. She always has something big planned."
