Lil Fucker Fuko:
Breathe
It was the third day of school. I got up and did my now daily morning routine before heading out the door and walking to school.
On my way, I met up with Katsuki again. I was actually a little far behind him but ran up to him, calling out his name and waving. He stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"Morning Kiki!"
"You're late."
I pouted, "Geez, can't you just return the greeting? I was only late by a few minutes," I whined.
"Not my problem, you should be more responsible," he scolded.
"I know, I know."
When we made it to the school we came across a reporter. When he noticed us he started to shove a microphone in our face and asked me questions.
"Hey! Are you from Yuuei?! What are your classes like?"
"Wha-" I was interrupted as another reporter came from out of nowhere.
"What is it like being one of All Might's students?" Asked the reporter while pointing her mic in my direction.
"Uh…"
"Excuse me! Miss! How would you describe your classes with All Might?!" Another reporter shouted.
I could hear Katsuki growl in annoyance and yanked me away from the reporters, "Fuck off you leeches! We're trying to get to class dammit!" He shouted, scaring the reporters. Katsuki stomped off, dragging me with him. He proceeded to shout and threaten the other reporters that came to bother us which got us through in no time.
"Man, that was intense. They're so relentless."
"They're annoying, that's what they are."
"Can't argue with that."
Aizawa-sensei lectured Katsuki and Izuku about how they did during the battle trials yesterday. I didn't bother listening since their fight didn't really have anything to do with me. I only perked up when I heard that we'll be selecting a Class President and Vice President.
Immediately the class started shouting and getting rowdy.
"Pick me!"
"I'll do it!"
"I would like to have that role!"
I even raised my hand and asked to be Class President. Katsuki also wanted to take on the role and started shouting.
"BE QUIET!" Someone suddenly shouted.
"This is a task laden with responsibility where you must carry and pull everyone's weight! Just because you'd like to do it doesn't mean you can!" Iida scolded.
'He's raising his hand higher than everyone else…' I thought.
"I suggest we all vote on who will take the position. The one with the most votes will be the Class President, and the one with the second most will be the Vice President."
I couldn't help but agree with him. The only problem is that we don't all know each other well enough to put our trust in anyone.
Katsuki… No offense to him, but I don't think he's the type of leader everyone wants. Izuku, he's nice and motivating but I feel he is too timid and submissive to really be a leader for the whole class. Mina usually does her own thing, and Sero… No.
I looked at all the other classmates and looked at who could be good leaders. I came down with three people. Todoroki, Momo, and Iida. Todoroki doesn't seem to really want the role of leader so I ruled him out. I already got a sense of how smart Momo is, and she was also one of the students who got in based on recommendations. Iida was also smart. Thinking back on the past few days, Iida seemed to be the one who tries to keep the class in order and maintain a good class reputation.
I smile and decided on my vote.
Everyone got a piece of paper and wrote down the name of the person they think would be more suitable as the class president. After the votes were counted, Momo and Izuku were the winners. Izuku had three votes and Momo had two. The rest of the class had one vote each which most probably gave themselves. I gave my vote to Iida meaning he didn't vote for himself considering how bad he wanted to be the Class President.
-Lunch hour-
Everyone in the school gathered at the cafeteria. The food tasted amazing and came at a surprisingly cheap price! When I got my food I was looking for a place to sit. I walked around looking for an empty seat. After finding one I rushed to sit down, afraid someone was going to claim the seat before me.
"Phew~ Finally, a place to sit."
I looked around the table to see who I was sitting by and saw that I was sitting by a boy with brown hair.
"Oops, sorry, I should have asked if anyone was sitting here before taking the seat," I apologized, earning his attention.
"Hm? Oh, it's fine. No one was sitting there, no worries," he says with a kind smile.
"I'm Fumiko Kazeyu from class 1-A," I introduced myself and held out a hand for him to shake.
He shakes my hand and returned the introduction, "Nice to meet you Kazeyu, I'm Kosei Tsuburaba from class 1-B."
I visibly brightened up when he mentioned being in a heroics class, "Sweet! What's your quirk?" I ask with curiosity.
"Solid air. I'm able to solidify air to form a wall or platform. The size usually depends on my lung capacity."
"Wow! That's like the opposite of my grandfather's quirk. He was able to take solid objects and turn them into wind and control it. My quirk took after him. I'm able to secrete the oxygen from my body and create my own air and manipulate it."
"Wow, that's so cool! I didn't think there would be someone else with a wind type quirk in this school."
"Same here, it's so interesting how similar and different our quirks are. It makes me so excited!"
"Haha me too!"
I was about to start up a conversation but the school sirens went off and prevented me from doing so.
"Security Level 3 has been breached. Students, please promptly evacuate."
"What's Security Level 3?" I ask Kosei. He grabs my arm and drags me out the seat.
"It means someone got past the security and infiltrated school grounds! Come on! It could be a villain attack!" He says and I ran with him towards the exit. The hall was crowded and everyone was in a panic. I was eventually separated from Kosei and I try to deal with the crowd that was pushing and shoving me.
I looked around for an escape but there were too many people in the way and I couldn't see anything. The roar of the crowd was too loud for me to think, and the lack of space around me started to feel too tight.
This wasn't good. I am a girl who enjoys the luxury of moving around freely. Like air itself, I needed to be able to breathe. I had extreme claustrophobia. I hated tight spaces where I couldn't stretch out my limbs. It always manages to suffocate me and leave me breathless, gasping for air.
I started to have a panic attack. I was hyperventilating and my limbs were twitching vigorously to do something. My body began to heat up and I start to sweat, making the air feel thick.
I felt something grab my arm and pull me out of the crowd, but I couldn't stop my panic.
"Fuko, calm down!" Strong hands grasped my shoulders, trying to keep it still from twitching.
"Tch! Dammit, Fuko. Sit down and take a deep breath." Katsuki pushed me down so that I was sitting on the tiled floor and I felt him lift my head up so I was looking into his eyes.
"Breath Fuko."
I gulped up as much air as I could and let it all out in a shaky breath. He nodded his head, "Good, now keep doing that until you calm down," he instructed.
I took his advice and began to breathe in deeply and exhaling slowly, feeling myself calm down with every breath. I didn't break eye contact with him, feeling even calmer.
When my breathing returned to normal Katsuki took a seat next to me, rubbing circles on my back.
"Better?"
I nod my head, "Much. Thanks, Kiki, I'm glad you were there."
Our attention turned back to the crowd when we saw someone flying like a maniac in the air, also gathering the attention of the crowd.
"EVERYBODY CALM DOWN! IT'S OKAY!" I hear someone shout, quieting the crowd. It sounded like Iida's voice.
"IT'S JUST THE PRESS! THERE IS NOTHING TO PANIC ABOUT! PLEASE PROCEED IN A CALM MANNER!" He continued.
When everyone calmed down, Katsuki and I stood up and followed the crowd. He held onto my hand and I squeezed back so I didn't lose him. We made our way to the evacuation unit and met up with our class.
After that incident, the police arrived and the reporters withdrew. All the students were able to go back to class shortly after.
Back in class, Izuku ended up giving up his place as class president to Iida. The rest of the class supported his idea and praised Iida on how he handled the press situation like a leader.
At the end of the day, Iida was officially the class president and Momo was the vice-president.
