I sat in front of my computer screen as the words echoed throughout my head.
"Congratulations young Seiren! boomed the voice of All Might. Welcome to UA High! It will be an honor to finally meet you again young lady, the last time you seen me you were just a toddler! Not only did your battle assessment impress me, but the sacrifice that you were willing to make for another student, proves to me what kind of hero you really will become!"
Wearing nothing but an over sized hoodie, I hugged my knees to my chest and chewed on the strings, as I replayed the events from yesterday and exactly what All Might was referring to.
Flashback
Am I really going to do this, for someone I don't even know?
I bite my nails and tapped my foot on the hard tile of the school hallway, as I stood outside the door of Present Mic office. Making up my mind, I grab the cold metal handle getting ready to walk inside until a small voice behind me makes me release the doorknob and turn towards the voice.
"Hey! Your the pretty girl from the practical exam!" said the same sweet girl, that had the ability to float objects.
I felt myself blush, at the mention of being pretty to her. I was honestly intimidated from her looks.
"Yeah, that's me!" I say giving her a small smile.
"Name is Uraraka Ochaco! What's yours?" she said beaming a smile my way and holding out her hand.
Seriously, this girl doesn't know who I am? Finally.
"Hayashi Seiren!" I say eagerly as I gripped her hand. "So, what are you doing here?" I say confused as to why she would also be here after school hours.
My question caught her off guard, as a pink blush colored her cheeks and she nervously stared at the floor. "Well, actually you know that kid from the exam? The one who saved me?"
I nodded in order for her to continue.
"Well I actually came, to see if I could give him some of my points..." she said quietly staring at the ground.
"Really? That's strange. That's exactly what I was coming to do too." I said as I gripped her shoulder willing her to make eye contact with me, so I could give her a reassuring smile.
"Really!? What are the odds!" she said returning the smile, suddenly more willing to open up about the conversation.
However, our conversation was cut short as Present Mic opened the door, walking into the hallway, leaving us to explain just exactly why we were there.
"Girls, there is no need to offer your points. That boy did a great job of getting his own points. You see when he rescued you, he received rescue points. Therefore, he will be attending as well." Present Mic said giving us a thumbs up, and a huge smile.
Ochaco and I exchanged a small smile, excited to know that the young boy would be able to attend as well.
After the conversation, Ochaco and I found out which class we would be attending. It was no surprise to me, but Ochaco certainly seemed to be excited that she would be a part of the famous class 1-A.
"Seiren, I'm so glad I met you and that we will be in the same class. At first, I thought you were super intimidating, but after what you were willing to sacrifice and after actually talking to you I just know we will be great friends!" she said will a huge smile, and clutching her backpack straps.
I felt myself touched at the comment. I never knew how intimidating I looked. I guess I spent so much time building a wall around my feelings, I never knew what it would be like to actually open up and become friends with someone.
"Yeah, I feel the same way Ochaco. Give me your phone, we could walk together to school on the first day if that isn't too much to ask?" I said almost nervous for a response.
She gladly gave me her phone, and after exchanging numbers we departed our ways. Eager to start at UA in the next few coming days.
I can't believe I'm actually little excited to start here. Maybe, just maybe it won't be as bad as I thought.
I exhaled a breath and opened my eyes, as I walk through the entrance gates of the school.
"Seiren! Over here!" Ochaco cupped her mouth in effort to make her small voice louder. She jumped up and down in the crowd of moving students, in order to catch my attention.
I felt myself smile, as I near her. We quickly exchange small talk, as we walk through the front doors of the school, making our way to class 1-A.
"So are you ready for our first day! I'm so excited to meet everyone and find out what we were doing for our first day here!" Ochaco rambled on and on, clearly excited for what was to come. I couldn't help but keep a smile on my face, something about her attitude made me actually a little excited for something for once.
My eyes landed on a couple of boys talking in the hallway, outside of a classroom. The same freckled face boy and then the assertive four eyed boy.
As we neared closer, I seen the classroom they were standing outside of was none other than 1-A.
So were in the same class?
At that thought my heart skipped a beat. Making me stop suddenly in my tracks, as Ochaco ran to introduce herself to the two boys.
What was that just now, don't tell me I'm actually somehow excited to be in the same class with him?
I quickly shrugged the feeling off, as I catch up to Ochaco catching the tail end of their conversation.
The boy with the freckles covered his face in embarrassment, as Ochaco rambled on again on how excited she was, and how she was wondering what we were going to do today.
Once he set eyes on me however, he began rambling on how he should thank us, for what we did for him. Never seeming to make eye contact with me.
I felt myself smirk, wondering if he was always so nervous around everyone.
"No need to thank us, you deserved those points. I was just making sure you got them." my voice interrupted Ochaco's.
He suddenly uncovered his face, as his eyes widened at my statement.
"Tha...thanks." he said stuttering, the blush still covering his face.
Before we could continue the conversation, our new teacher Mr. Aizawa made his appearance. Announcing we would be heading immediately outside to start out quirk assessment test. Then proceeded to tell us, that the lowest scoring student would be expelled.
The whole class seemed to be distraught over the pro heroes words, and even I felt the slightest twinge of anger against him.
"It's my class, I have the option to do as I please. If your going to be real heroes in three years, then you will just have to get used to having all sort of surprises like this." he retaliated heading outside to start the assessment, everyone following close behind.
Alright, bring it. Let just get this over with.
