Another morning had come to UA, and the students were eating breakfast. For the most part, it was just a routine morning…that is, until Kacchan spoke up:
"Something's wrong. Where the crap is IcyHot?"
"She could still be sleeping," said Uraraka.
"Yeah, she does sometimes sleep in." Deku took another bit of nori.
"WELL, SHE BETTER WAKE HER ASS UP SOON!" yelled Kacchan.
Ashido covered her ears. "Gosh, do you need to yell this loud this early?"
Iida put down his teacup. "Ashido's right. We mustn't disturb anyone who's not fully awake."
"NO ONE ASKED YOU, MOTOR LEGS!"
"Bakugo, if you continue your tirade, then I'm afraid that I shall have no choice but to register a complaint with the faculty."
Kacchan grumbled. "Fine."
After breakfast, Deku was heading towards Todoroki's dorm when…
"Good morning, Deku!"
"WHOA!"
Deku stopped abruptly and dropped his jaw when he saw what Todoroki had done: instead of her usual 60s-style flipped bob, Todoroki's hair was now done in a 70s-style feathered look a la Farrah Fawcett.
"Shoko, you…you look so…"
"I decided to change my hairstyle to freshen up my look! Do you like it?"
Deku nodded. "Yeah, that looks so beautiful on you!"
Todoroki giggled. "Then let's get to class!"
Deku and Todoroki were walking to class, as they always did, only the latter had a bit more of a spring in her step, feeling bolder because of her new 'do. Nothing could break their stride, not even…
"PICK IT UP, DEKU; YOUR ASS IS GONNA BE LATE!"
Kacchan paused briefly and looked over at Todoroki.
"SINCE WHEN THE CRAP DID YA GET A NEW GIRLFRIEND!?"
"What's wrong, Bakugo? Don't you recognize your old friend Todoroki?"
"WHAT THE CRAP!? WHY THE CRAP DID YA CHANGE YOUR HAIR!? YOU LOOK LIKE 12,000 POUNDS OF BIRD SHIT!"
Todoroki kept smiling. "And you should know!"
"THAT'S IT!"
"Whoa, Bakugo, why are ya yellin' at the new girl?" said Kirishima.
"Kirishima, it's me, Todoroki!"
"Wha…?" Kirishima smiled and rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, I didn't recognize ya with the new 'do! Lookin' good!"
"Thank you!"
"Bakugo, Kirishima, why are you dallying about?" Iida then turned to Todoroki. "Pardon me, Miss, but are you new here?"
"No, I'm Todoroki! Why does no one recognize me?"
Iida dropped his jaw, and then bowed before Todoroki. "Forgive me; your new hairstyle threw me off. It looks very nice on you!"
Todoroki put a hand up to her mouth. "Wow…I never imagined that something as simple as a new hairstyle could have such a powerful effect on people! I wonder what the rest of the class will think…"
Todoroki didn't have to wait too long to find out what the rest of Class 1-A would think…
"Holy crap! That new girl is hot!" said Mineta.
"I know, right?" said Kaminari.
"I do not recall anything about us getting a new student…" Tokoyami stroked his chin.
Yaoyorozu shook her head. "Neither do I, but I like meeting new people."
"What are you all talking about? It's me, Todoroki!"
The class let out a collective gasp when they realized this.
"OH MY DAMN CHERRY BLOSSOMS!"* exclaimed Ashido. "I LOVE YOUR HAIR!"
Hagakure bounced around. "Me too! I wish mine looked that good!"
Jiro nodded. "I know, right? Seriously, I'm so jealous of how good you are at styling your hair!"
Todoroki blushed. "Awww, thank you!"
"Really, that new style ties your look together!" said Yaoyorozu. "You should keep it like that, girlfriend!"
"Considering how many people like it, I might just do that! Now, if you'll excuse me, Deku and I have to take our seats."
Todoroki and Deku took their seats, the latter feeling a bit bemused by the whole thing. Sure, he was used to people giving his bicolor girlfriend more attention nowadays, but with her new look, he felt like the attention had exploded tenfold. Nevertheless, he was willing to put up with it because he loved her that much. Shortly thereafter, Aizawa entered.
"Good morning, class." Aizawa raised an eyebrow. "Has anyone seen Todoroki?"
"Over here, Mr. Aizawa!" Todoroki waved her arms above her head.
Aizawa blinked slowly. "Sorry, Todoroki; I didn't recognize you with your new hairstyle. Having said that, I liked the old style better, but I have no time to debate with you."
Todoroki kept smiling as Aizawa got on with business as usual, feeling fresh thanks to all the adoration she'd received.
A/N: Should Todoroki keep her new hairstyle? Let me know in a review or PM!
