"Sasaki chan let's go to lunch yeah?" Surprised, I jolt up from my book lowering woman in black to turn to Ochako raising a brow by her bright beaming smile.
"Wait…what?" Lost, I blink baffled taken aback. Did I hear that right?
"Come on we won't get seats if we stay around here." Excitedly, Ochako beams brightly at me making me sigh shakily still trying to comprehend her decision.
"Ochako…I…why would you want me to sit next to you?" Baffled, I furrow my brow at her noting Tenya and Midoriya waiting patiently for us.
"Because you're our friend silly." Ochako giggles.
"I put a knife to one of our fellow classmates throat." Scowling, I remind her furrowing my brow at her.
"Yeah, but I didn't get any killer bloodlust from you." Ochako tells me.
"Huh?" Lost, I blurt out still trying to comprehend her and the others mindset.
"Yeah, All Might said so besides I don't think you would have done so. Now come on let's eat!" Excitedly, she grabs my arm tugging me forward.
"You people continue to baffle me honestly." Tiredly, I sigh when I am dragged towards the door, Tenya and Midoriya beaming brightly at me.
"Heh! Nothing wrong with a surprise you know?" Cheekily, she winks.
"You people sure are strange…" I repeat shaking my head at them, a small smile of endearing crossing my features as I am dragged towards the cafeteria where we go get a seat.
"It's always so crowded in here." Ochako says in awe of the cafeteria hearing the clatter of silverware as I take out my lunchbox.
"Makes me want to throw myself out the window." Grimacing, I furrow my brow at the thought, feeling my chest tighten against my hammering heart.
"Please don't do that." Weakly, Ochako smiles at me.
"That's because all students in the support management and hero courses share the same cafeteria." Tenya tells us.
"This rice is delicious what about you Sasaki chan?" Gushing, Ochako squeals asking me as she happily munches on her rice.
"I'm happy with what I brought." Aloofly, I shrug taking a bite out of my meal.
"Don't you buy anything from the cafeteria?" Curious, Tenya asks me.
"Why buy when I can easily make it besides it's much easier that way." Simply, I shrug stating the fact of the matter.
"Really?" Midoriya arches a brow.
"Yeah, when I cook I know at the least my father and brother are eating." Honestly, I confess saying how it is I mean my father hardly eats as it is.
"You have a brother?" Surprised, Midoriya raises a brow.
"Yeah he's a little brat though, tch I can already see him picking out his green peppers…" I scoff smirking shaking my head amused at the sheer thought of him, a sad pang hits me at the thought of him, of them, of the bruises…
"He sounds like a handful maybe I can meet him." Hopeful, Ochako snaps me out of my thoughts.
"For your sake I hope not." Curtly, I sigh placing my forefinger on my temple, trying to deal with the migraine remerging.
"Hey guys I'm worried about my position, I don't think I'm qualified." Worried, Midoriya confesses to me.
"Sure, you are." Confidently, Ochako beams brightly.
"You'll be great." Tenya assures him.
"Eh, just let rich girl do the work she expects it to happen anyway might as well let it happen." Lazily, I wave off his worry, telling him how it is.
"S-Sayako chan that's a bit brutal isn't it?" Panicked, Midoriya freaks out.
"S-Sayako! You cannot mean to burden young Yaoyorozu!" Iida scolds me which I easily blank out.
"Hey if you can relax, take it." Frankly, I tell him how it is.
"Did you vote for me Sayako chan?" Midoriya wonders curiosity laced in his tone.
"Didn't you hear what I said to Bakugo?" Befuddled, I remind him furrowing my brow at him.
"You voted for me!?" Stunned, Midoriya squeaks standing up from his chest making me sigh at the unneeded theatrics.
"Well yeah I wanted to see the reactions man they were priceless." Amused, I snicker chuckling at the memory.
"You purposefully voted for Midoriya just for reactions!? That is not how democracy works you vote for…whatever I tell you isn't going to get through to you isn't it?" Enraged, Tenya declares only to see my blank stare.
"Look at you learning, they grow up so fast." Amused, I snicker smirking at him.
"Urgh…Ignore her. Your courage and quick thinking under stress will make you a good leader not to mention the strength you demonstrated. Those are the reasons I voted for you at least." Tenya tells Midoriya.
"You were one of the three?" Startled, Midoriya gapes at the news.
"Didn't you want to be rep you do look the part cause of the glasses." Ochako points out making him flinch.
"Rub salt in the wound why don't ya Ochako?" Amused, I snicker shaking my head at her, a small smirk of fondness on my lips shaking my head at her as I continue munching on my food.
"Wanting a job and being studious are quite different things. Observing the Iida family agency has taught me that much." Coolly, Tenya tells us.
"Agency?" Ochako queries.
"Hold on what does your family do?" Fascinated, Midoriya asks him.
"Must be something profitable considering his rich kid dialect." I point out.
"Rich kid dialect?" Baffled, Tenya blinks taken aback.
"Come on you know what I'm talking about." Slyly, I smirk pointing my chopsticks at him.
"I have no idea what you are referring to besides it's nothing." Briskly, he adjusts his glasses trying to play it off making me chuckle.
"Yeah Sayako chan's right! Come on Iida admit it you're filthy rich!" Eagerly, Ochako joins in.
"I was afraid you'd treat me differently if you knew about my family. You see the Iida's have been heroes for generations it runs in our blood." Proudly, Tenya reveals.
"What!? That's awesome!" Midoriya squeaks.
"That's it?" Unimpressed, I furrow my brow.
"What do you mean that's it?" Lost, Tenya furrows his brow.
"I was expecting some edgy dark past but eh…I guess that will do." Lazily, I shrug.
"What do you mean that will do? Never mind. Are the three of you aware of a turbo hero called ingenium?" Tenya asks us as I furrow my brow having no clue.
"I know all about him!" Midoriya of course confirms.
"And here we go with the fanboy talk…" I mutter.
"I think it's cute." Ochako giggles.
"He's a super popular pro with 65 sidekicks working alongside him at his agency don't tell me…" Gushing, Midoriya begins before his eyes expand in shock trailing off when…
"He's my elder brother!" Tenya proclaims hands on hips pride laced in his tone.
"Your family's famous!" Ochako gapes.
"I can't believe it!" Midoriya squeals.
"Eh…it's something." Lazily, I shrug it off watching Midoriya gush going crazy fan boy mode on alongside Ochako gushing about his wealthy while I simply snack on my food, not really caring. I mean my family aren't really rich we've always looked out for the best bargains.
"Ingenium is an unmatched hero who respects the hero's code as the second oldest Iida son I strive to be just like him. However, I think it's a bit soon for me to be in a leadership role. It's why I voted for you both." Modestly, Tenya explains to us after gushing over his brother. I furrow my brow; he doesn't seem to be popular and if he's anything like Tenya perhaps he isn't as bad as most heroes I've come across.
"Say what now?" I blink baffled taken aback by his words, for us both? Wait no…Tenya must have a brain I mean sure in the past he has shown to be a dumbass, but he can't be that stupid, he can't be!
"I voted for you." Tenya asserts confirming it as I gape at him.
"Wait you didn't vote for yourself Sayako chan?" Surprised, Ochako blinks taken aback.
"God no! I mean how would I even get the votes? No one likes me." Chuckling, I shake my head at the thought snickering at the looney idea, I knew no one would vote for me especially after our battle session besides all that work, I got enough on my mind as it is.
"I wouldn't say that…" Optimistically, Midoriya lies straight to my face.
"Midoriya I put a knife to rich girls' throat, not the best introduction." Bluntly, I deadpan.
"Well…why did you do it?" Innocently, Midoriya asks me.
"I don't like her and it was part of the exercise." Bluntly, I lean back in my seat as the trio gape gawking at my answer.
"Sashiko san that is not hero behaviour!" Iida scolds me making me roll my eyes at him.
"Isn't it? Don't heroes take villains captive?" I point out.
"Of course not!" He refuses making me scoff.
"Then how is it villains get out of jail so often." I point out making them flinch.
"They do their time." Tensely, Tenya argues making me chuckle amused by his naivety.
"They give them what the heroes want Info." Curtly, I snaps scowling at them as Tenya opens his mouth to argue further but he sighs shaking his head, knowing well this is an argument I will take to my grave.
"Regardless, you both figured out what the judges were looking for in the practical exam, a rep needs that sort of insight." Firmly, Tenya continues his words.
"…Wow. You really were dropped as a kid weren't ya?" Stunned, I gape at him, taking aback further by his news his report.
"Sasaki chan you clearly do not see what we see." Seriously, Tenya tells me.
"What the heck are you on about?" Lost, I quirk my head to the side at his resolved tone his dark blues meeting my lighter blues.
"Our very first introduction showed that you are not afraid to call out other people even if they are strangers' ad the way your objective was to save lives was admirable. During the exam you kept your eye on Midoriya because you knew he was weak and wouldn't survive so you looked out for everyone, that sort of attitude is what makes a hero." Earnestly, he confesses to me making my eyes expand at his words, feeling a strange heat erupt from my cheeks from his kind words making me frown, not quite sure how to process it. I frown at the strange sensation of guilt, the cord tightly tugging at me. Maybe I should tell him my reason for that…but crush him dreams eh…maybe not.
"You're such a weirdo tch, of course I'd vote for another weirdo in this class of ours." Huffing, I glance to the side having no real clue what to make of his declaration, feeling the blistering blaze of my heat cross my cheeks.
"Wait you were the one to vote for me!?" Tenya reels back in shock from my news.
"Well yeah you have a boner for organisation and shit." Frankly, I tell him how it is.
"Don't use such abrasive language you are to be a hero!" He scolds me making me sigh tiredly at the nag.
"Sasaki chan you…" Midoriya begins shocked.
"Hm?" I turn to him seeing him stare at me looking conflicted almost confusing me, unnerving me almost as I open my mouth to demand an answer and to stop the strange stare when…
"Thank you with everything that I am at the bottom of my heart thank you for putting your faith in me. I know you don't trust people easily so thank you for this honour." Honourably, Tenya bows his head shocking me.
"Um…sure…? I don't…I don't know how to respond to this." Uncomfortable, I fidget glancing to the side from his dramatics.
"Wow Tenya I've never seen you smile like that you should do it more." Brightly, Ochako beams brightly.
"What are you talking about? I smile all the time." Tenya dismisses making me smirk.
"There's a difference between a genuine smile and a professional smile Tenya." Teasingly, I tell him noting a faint ruby red to his cheeks as he bows his head, trying to hide it only then for our eyes to widen when hearing the blistering blare of the alarm.
"Hey what's that?" Midoriya gapes.
"Warning level 3 security breach! All students evacuate the building in a calm orderly manner." The alarm tells us as we all share a look, having no clue what to make of what happens next.
"You got to be kidding me…" Irritated, I snap scowling, feeling my blood boil, placing my palm flat on my chest grimacing at my constricted chest coiling around my hammering heart, my blood boiling, bubbling, burning. I seethe shakily fuming, feeling nothing but rage flow through my panicked state as I bow my head trying to control my shaky breathes, despite the chaos unfolding before us. I sigh standing up slamming my chopsticks down on the ground, hearing the sharp snap of the sticks, irritation laced in my tone watching the trio rush towards the crowd squirming, darting over to the hallway to the nearest exit making me sigh at the morons. What a pain…
