It was only the second day of school and they are already rolling out the tests. And Izuku hated it.

Not to mention his lack of sleep last night didn't help his mood thanks to All-Might yesterday.

And after All-Might had finally signed the paper, he had quickly escorted Izuku out of the building and just as quickly disappeared. That didn't really bother Izuku, but what DID bother him was the fact that he felt like he was being watched all the way back home. And the feeling didn't seem to disappear until he made it to Bakugo's house to drop off his gift.

"OoooOOOOOOOoOoOoooOooOOoOOOOooooOoooOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed. Izuku knew to plug his ears at this point.

Bakugo held the piece of paper in his hands like it was a reward from God himself. "OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GOT IT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Izuku took his fingers out from his ears. "You done?" He asked irritably.

"Yeah, I think so. I'll celebrate more with my father if I don't feel done though."

"Thank you. I'm just going to go home though." Izuku said, already walking off.

He didn't look back at Bakugo. And it's not that he was dismissing him; bakugo understood this. It was just that Izuku hates school and it really tires him out to the point where he just wants to be home.

And then Izuku had tried to go straight to sleep. But sleep seemed like a distant memory until three in the morning.

Not to mention he was almost late for school and didn't even eat breakfast because he had decided to throw his alarm clock on the wall. And thinking about that reminds him; he needs to buy a new alarm clock after school.

And now they tell him that they have physical tests right out of the gate?! It made Izuku furious.

"Now," Aizawa said closing his planner that all teachers in anime seem to have but never use. "Everyone needs to be outside by nine o'clock on the dot, or that's points off your grade. Change on your way down."

And without waiting for anymore questions, Aizawa crawled back into his sleeping bag and inched his way out the door.

The room was quiet for a moment before Tenya suddenly stood straight up like a plank of wood.

"THE CURRENT TIME IS EIGHT THIRTY IN THE MORNING! THAT LEAVES US WITH ONLY HALF AN HOUR TO MAKE OUR WAY TO THE TESTING FIELD!" And just like that he ran to the door to the classroom. Then he pointed his arms straight ahead of him and charged down the hallway. All while screaming "EXXXXXTTTTTRRRRAAAAAA CCCCRRRRRRREEEEEEDDDDDDDIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!"

Izuku made a mental note to carry his phone more often so he could get scenes like that on camera.

And now moving on from that.

Since he had a full half hour to kill Izuku finally took in his surroundings. Some students, that he could see, stayed behind like him and others where enjoying their time by talking with their friends.

And others. . .seemed too strange to describe what they were doing. Like this creepy grape-looking boy that sat in the set directly adjacent to Izuku. And after watching him drool for a moment over a girl with dark black hair and sharp eyes, Izuku had decided that he had enough and walked down to the training field.

He walked down the hall in a slow stride, not really in a hurry to get there. The walk itself wasn't actually all that long now that he knew the way. Even if he had asked a passing teacher directions to the field after getting lost.

So as he walked to the double doors that led to the courtyard, he thought about his classmates. There was this girl with pink hair that always seemed to pump up everyone around her. There was a boy with bright blonde hair giving him this punk rocker look. He seemed to get along pretty well with the punk girl with musical jacks for earlobes.

And then there was that boy with grapes for hair. Who. . .seemed to "admire" all the girls. Izuku really didn't want to think about him anymore than he had to.

Speaking of "admiring" people; Izuku had a few he admired himself.

There was that girl with the sharp eyes and black hair that he found attractive. And there was this boy who seemed to have two quirks! His hardened eyes and mulicoulored hair made Izuku feel some kind of way.

Izuku doesn't like to admit it but Tenya's muscular body was spared a glance or two by Izuku.

But the one who seemed to stand out among everyone was Uraraka.

She was so pretty, and her cheeks were so rosy that they looked like the setting sun. But the thing he loved the most about her is her giant smile.

She always seemed to be smiling, and everytime it would fill Izuku with a sense of happiness that he hardly ever felt on his own.

And it was so nice of her to visit him in the infirmary all that time ago. But that memory was kind of tainted thanks to how Bakugo threw a condom into the room almost immediately after she had left.

Then Izuku's eyes widened as he realized something.

He had forgotten to set up a lunch date with here after he promised to do so yesterday! He didn't even ask for her number!

So now he had to work up the nerve to that.

Suddenly a bright light in Izuku's eyes snapped him back to reality.

He was now out in the court yard not to far from where Aizawa was standing at the edge of a fifty yard dash track with a timer in his hands.

"Midoriya!" He shouted from across the track, "You're late."

Izuku didn't respond with anything more than a relaxed look.

Aizawa glared at him. "Since you're finally here, you can be our first volunteer. Stand at the starting point if you please."

Izuku rolled his eyes and walked to the line at the opposite edge of the track.

"Now," Aizawa said gaining everybody's attention. "these are what I like to call quirk evaluations. And basically you will be doing these normal athletic tests."

Suddenly Iida's hand shot straight up. "Sir! Forgive my rudeness but why are they 'quirk evaluations' if we're just doing normal tests?!"

"Allow me to finish next time and you won't have to ask questions like that. You'd be smart to learn that for the future Tenya."Tenya leaned forward so fast bowing it looked as if he was just punched in the gut. Izuku had to resist the urge to grin.

"Forgive me sir! Please continue!"

Aizawa just rolled his eyes.

"These tests have a twist on them. I want you all to use your quirks to pass these tests. However you may do it." Aizawa stepped back, out of the way of the track.

There was a rumble of approval among the students as excitement began to fill them.

"Remember you can use them any way you see fit as long as you don't hurt yourselves or other people. Izuku if you could please start us out."

Izuku was a bit irritated that he had insisted that he be the first one to race, but that was quickly swept away by the thought of free reign of his powers.

With a grin on his face, Izuku crouched at the starting point with his hands outstretched beside him. Izuku breathed deeply for a second or to before green flames poured out of his mouth and circled around him.

The flames moved like water through the air. Almost as though the fire had a mind of its own. It danced around Izuku's body and seemed to mesmerize everyone watching it before its movements stopped and concentrated themselves into balls at the end of Izuku's hands.

Aizawa gave it a noticeable glance before he hit the button on his timer.

Izuku dashed to the edge of the track quicker than the eye could track. It almost seemed like he was a green streak in the air before everyone realized he was already done.

The beep of the time sounded as Aizawa gave a satisfied "hmpf".

"Two point eight seconds. Not bad."

The crowd was awestruck at the sight of Izuku. But that feeling quickly dispersed as more and more people lined up at the starting line.

But the feeling wasn't bad or discouraged like Izuku thought it would be. In fact, Izuku's display seemed to encourage the other students to try harder.

It. . .challenged them. And that only seemed to push them even more to do more.

Izuku stood on the sidelines, wide-eyed staring at everyone. They put all their effort into every test again and again despite how pointless they where.

It made him feel a little bit of pride to know that his undeveloped technique put that much inspiration in all of them. He had just came up with it shortly after the entrance exams so he wouldn't fall to his death next time he tried to fly.

And all of them reminded Izuku of Bakugo. That hard-headed stubbornness that seemed to be included in everything he does.

Especially Uraraka. She was speeding along and keeping up with everyone despite the fact she had a really unflashy quirk. Hell, she had managed to get the highest score on the ball throw, well above everyone else.

And the rest of the tests went on for hours. And by the time they were all done, Izuku had decided to do something.

Uraraka was standing there by herself. Izuku, feeling this is the perfect chance, approached her.

"H-hey." Izuku stuttered.

Uraraka turned herself to face Izuku; her signature blush seemed to get a little bit brighter.

"Hey Izuku! Good job on the tests today! Your fire is so pretty!" Said Uraraka nervously.

Izuku felt surprised. He had expected more backlash after showing off his quirk like that. "Thank you! And my fire isn't anything all that special." Izuku laughed under his breath.

"No no no! It was totally pretty! The color kind of reminds me of jade. And the way you can move your fire! I wish I had that much control over my quirk."

"Well you were the only one who managed to get an infinity score on the ball throwing."

"Yeah but that's kinda like cheating since my quirk just allows it to keep going until it reaches space."

"Hey, it makes one hell of a rescue quirk."

"What makes you say that?"

"Well, you can people down from buildings without worrying about hurting them. You can keep drowning people above the water with little effort. And you can really help with moving rubble! And there's so much more you can do with it!"

"I guess you're right!" Uraraka said with a pride in her voice.

Izuku smiled, it felt good to make her happy. Maybe he should try it more often.

"Hey, I uh. . .Wanted to know if you would like to go see a movie saturday. It's the premiere of a new movie called Twin Heroes. What do you think?"

Uraraka was silent for a moment, and every second that passed only made Izuku's heart skyrocket. As he tried to slow the tempo of his accelerating heart Uraraka pressed the ends of her fingertips together and smiled.

"I'd love to."

Izuku's heart did triple flips in his chest. He felt like he wanted to scream in joy, but he didn't want to freak out and make her uncomfortable.

"Cool," He said simi-calmly, "If you want to call me here's my number."

Izuku pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote his number on it.

"I'll pick you up at six tomorrow. And, sorry to ask this but, can you give me your address please?"

Uraraka giggled and texted Izuku her address. Izuku felt a warmness seep into his heart before a loud whistle brought him back to reality.

"All you kids need to get back to class and go home. The sooner you do the sooner I can go home!" Aizawa yelled from the door way into the school.

Uraraka turned back to Izuku. "So, do you want to walk me home?" She asked.

"Yeah," Izuku replied, "I'll take you home."

And with that, they walked back into the school together side by side.
