Two days have passed since the sports festival, and you're feeling as good as new. Sleeping for practically the entire time might have had something to do with that. Plus, it was raining, which always helps you feel better.

Not many people were on your commute to school, so it was a nice quiet walk. It was especially wonderful after discovering the video of you and Bakugou battling went viral on Instagram. Every major account from news to meme, had your battered face plastered on it. Specifically, when you bashed your head against the ice and passed out. Making a totally not awkward face. So wonderful. Especially the ones with Hollaback Girl edited over it. So great. 

A sigh escapes your lips, and you kick a rock at your feet. It goes off to the side into a bus stop a few meters ahead of you.

Inside, were a woman and her daughter. The two were soaked from the rain, and look up as the rock pings against the bottom of glass.

You make eye contact, and the little girl starts violently shaking her mother's shoulder.

"Mama, mama, mama!! Look! It's the girl from the tv!!!" You hear her exclaim as you slip your phone into your pocket and walk up.

The woman chuckles at her daughter's enthusiasm and smiles at you. "Sorry about her, she watched your fights during the sports festival and hasn't stopped talking about you since."

"Woah, really? I'm honored! What's your name?" You smile at the girl as you step inside the bus stop.

"I'm Aoi! I wish my quirk was like yours! It's so cool!!"

"Thank you! Do you have a quirk?"

"She just started developing it last month, but Aoi here can make flowers."

"Wow! That's a wonderful quirk!"

The girl looks down at her shoes. "I guess... Mama can grow big plants though..."

"Do you want to know a secret?" You crouch down in front of Aoi. She nods. "When I first got my quirk, all I could do was leak water. My hands and feet were always wet, so I thought I'd never be able to be a hero. My parents had to follow me around with a mop and towel! But, with a lot of practice and effort, I learned how to control the water. And now, I can even make it ice or steam! See?"

You stick your arm back out in the rain, soaking it almost immediately. You pull it back into the bus stop and show it to her. Motioning for her to step back, you dry your sleeve.

"Woah! Can you do that to me?"

"If your mom's okay with it," you say. The woman nods and thanks you.

"No problem!" You quickly remove the water soaking the girl and do the same for her mother. The little girl giggles with excitement as she watches the water evaporate.

"Woah!!! Again, again!"

The woman scoops Aoi up in her arms and chuckles at her daughter's enthusiasm. "Sorry about her, and thank you so much."

You smile and say, "It's no problem at all! Here! Take my umbrella; I don't need it."

"Are you sure? You don't have to-"

"I'm certain! See?" You step backwards into the rain, but control the water so it collects above your head.

"Thank you so much!" The woman says. "Aoi, thank the young lady."

"Thank you, miss! Here!" She grows a blue flower from her hand, thrusting it towards you, and you happily take it from her.

"It's gorgeous! You've got such a pretty quirk! And you know, there's a girl who competed who grows plants just like you can. I'm sure if you practice, your quirk can get stronger like hers, too! Now, I'd better hurry, or I'll be late for school."

"Bye, bye!"

You wave goodbye to the two as they head the opposite way, blocked from the rain now. UA was a few blocks away, and there were only a few minutes until the first bell rang.

Running in the rain while trying to keep water from falling on you wasn't an easy task.

The doors of the school are right in front of you when a sudden clap of thunder goes off.

In your surprise, you drop all of the water above you on to your head, and the rain strikes your face. Before you can even react, the front door opens to reveal Sero.

"Y/n! I thought that was you! Haven't you ever heard of an umbrella?!" He was wearing a black raincoat and the hood was off.

Seeing you standing there shaking in the rain, he steps out and grabs your hand.

You snap out of it as he pulls you inside. "Oh! Hi Sero, I had an umbrella but I gave it away. I was using my quirk to keep the water off but..."

"Let me guess, thunder spooked ya?"

You nod in embarrassment. "I don't do great with thunder..."

Sero chuckles and pushes his wet hair out of his face. It was the first time you had seen him with his hair slicked back. It looked good out of his face. "Geez, you'd think it'd be the opposite. Well, you'd better dry yourself off fast or we'll be late for class."

"Oh, sorry!" You snap out of it and shake your arms off. "You don't have to wait for me!"

"Nah, it's no problem. I don't mind being late if it's for you. I want to make sure you're okay."

"Thank you, Sero, but really I'm fine-"

Another clap of thunder sounds, and you grab on to his arms in surprise.

"You're fine, huh?" He laughs as you look up at his smirking face.

"Sorry! I guess I'm a little jumpy today..." You feel your face and ears heat up, realizing how close he is. He seriously looks good with his hair out of his face...!  Being close to him, or any other guy never really phased you before. This was a new feeling. Maybe I really did hit my head too hard...

"Don't worry about it." Sero smiles before motioning towards you. "But seriously, you'd better dry off or Aizawa's not going to be happy."

"Right!" You let go of his sleeve and quickly dry yourself off. The two of you hurry up to class, the halls practically empty at this point. The rain doesn't seem to slow as you race past the windows looking over the front yard.

"We're here!" You sigh as you slide the door shut behind you. 

"Y/n! We were worried you weren't going to come in!" Mina says to you.

"Yeah, I'm glad you're doing okay!" Kaminari adds.

"Thanks! I'm back in business and feeling 100% again!"

"Hey, what about me? Weren't you worried I wouldn't be in?" 

"Sero, you may have had a tough loss, but at least you could walk away from it!" Mina laughs.

Jirou looks you up and down. "You can't even tell Bakugou beat you to a pulp...!"

"Hey!!"

The final bell rings as you join in the laughter and take your seat. "God, I swear I've seen at least a hundred videos of me getting my ass kicked!"

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't see any..." Kirishima chuckles.

"Me too." Sero says. "Hey, at least you got some hits in though!"

"Yeah, and everyone definitely knows you now!" Uraraka joins in, honestly trying to make you feel better.

The door opens before you can reply, and everyone immediately goes quiet. Aizawa shuffles into the room, now bandage free.

"Good morning. I see you're all as lively as ever."

"It's good to see you're looking better, sir." Tsuyu says.

"Don't worry about me. It looked worse than it was. Y/n, your healing went well? Midoriya?"

"Yep! I feel as good as new!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good, because today we've got an important class. This hero informatics class is one you'll want all of your attention on."

Please don't be a pop quiz...!

"Today's the day you'll be deciding on your hero names."
