 You put your hand out to shake. "Tsk. Whatever just shut up." He said as he looked out the window, and you couldn't shut down the feeling that he actually meant; "Don't mention it" and "Sure!" Were you actually beginning to understand the angry Pomeranian?

You simply smiled and turned your head to face the board as a man entered the room. He looked exactly like... "Hello everyone! It's Present Mick here! Hope you're having an amazing afternoon. Who's ready for ENGLISH?!"

~silence~

"Tough crowd." He spoke as he moved ahead to teach the subject. You love Present Mick, but you hate English. You always thought it was a lie, and you will forever fail English.

"Today was a day I never thought would end." You said as you were walking down the streets from school, recalling your encounter with Todoroki at the gate...

"What did you mean?" Half and half boy asked you when he stopped you from exiting the school. "Huh?"
"When we were in class, you asked me something. What did you mean?" He tried to jog your memory but really nothing was coming up. All you could remember was 

"Have and has is grouped under the past perfect. Has is for many people while have is for one person. For example-"
"I have hated English ever since I started learning it."
"Good one (L/N)...wait, what...?

"(L/N) are you still with me?" Todoroki asked as he snapped his fingers in front of your face, agitation lingering around. "Huh- o-oh yeah. I was just thinking that is all. And what I said was all just through the tension I didn't really mean anything." You said as you waved your hands in front of your face, a nervous close-eyed smile frozen on it. 

"Regardless of whether you meant it or not, I am my own person, and I am not a tool anyone can use for their own benefits. I have no idea why I had the urge to tell you this but...if you're gonna be my rival you at least need to know what you're dealing with." Todoroki spoke as he looked ahead, out of UA and trailing into the city. Rivals?

-~-

"Seriously, rivals on the first day? That's a load of-" You stopped dead in your tracks as your eyes widened to see a basketball court to your right. How did you not notice it all this time? It was enclosed in a building that seemed to be a gym but the door was open so hey! 

You saw no reason not to ball, just for a while right? You entered the arena, placing your bag at the entrance where there was a rack full of basketballs. The setting was just like that which you always see on TV. 

The floor was squeaky and there were seats that were opposite the hoop, obviously for spectators. You closed your eyes and imagined this place full. Little children played here and there as their parents tried to get them back up to their seats, people holding popcorn and waiting for the match to start as players began strategizing. 

But you, you were your own team, like as if you could play those two teams at the same time. You had the ball, this was your court!

You bounced the ball on the floor just once, and you felt like your imagination came to be a reality. "It's just started!" You heard the host of the game's voice echo through the court. 

You continued to bounce the ball in intervals until you started dribbling around the court like you were dodging players. "(Y/N) is on the move. She's taking all those players like a champ. She dribbles and dribbles and she makes her way to the hoop but-oop. A player from the red team has come to block the shot. 20 seconds left on the clock. WILL. SHE. MAKE IT!?!"

"(Y/N) (Y/N) (Y/N)!!" The spectators started to chant your name as they cheered you on. 'I've got this.' You thought to yourself as you began dribbling back.
"Oh my God! She's going to try the epic move. 

She dribbles the ball back onto the main court, jumps up, and does a spin only to throw the ball and...MAKE A THREE!! SHE DID IT!! SHE DID THE JOHNNY WILSON FIVE THOUSAND. AND JUST LIKE THAT FOLKS TIME IS UP! THANK YOU!" (I felt a major cringe when I wrote Jonny Wilson Five Thousand)

You ran up to the spectators and slid on your knees with your arms out horizontally as you basked in the artificial light of the court, enjoying their praises until-

"Johnny Wilson five thousand!?" You heard a male's voice coming from the entrance of the court, as you looked up to see Bakugo laughing at you, one of his hands supporting him from the door and another from his knee. 

You reddened out of both anger and embarrassment as you stood up and walked to him. "H-Hey that's not very nice! It's a move I created myself." You ended your statement with pride as you placed your thumb on your chest. 

"You play?"
"Oh yeah! I've been playing ever since-"
"I don't care," Bakugo said as he turned around to leave. "Oh really, or is it because you know I'll beat you if we matched." 

You shouted over to him just before he left. Stopping dead in his tracks he turned to face you, as you skipped over back to the court. "What did you say."
"I said..." You turned around, stuck your butt out with your legs apart, and looked at him from in between your legs. "KISS MA BUTT!" You shouted as you stuck out your tongue.

"I'M GONNA MURDER YOU!!" Bakugo shouted as he run into the court. You got out of that position and started dribbling the ball waiting for Bakugo to try a move. "We'll see who murders who." 

You spoke as you smirked, throwing the ball in the direction of the hoop, but right when it was about to go through Bakugo jumped up and grabbed the ball. He wasn't that tall, you guys were almost the same height, you just missed him by inches. You had to be 5'6 and Bakugo was 5'7 or 5'8. But for a not-so-tall guy, you could at least say he can jump, high!

"Think you can take the heat?" Bakugo asked as he spun the ball on one finger. "Oh, I can take it any day!" You said as you ran up to him and pushed the ball off his finger, only to grab it in your right hand, dribbling it to get away from the blonde. "BRING IT!!" You heard him shout from behind you, signaling he was coming back. 'This is gonna be fun.'

It'd been 2 hours and you had dropped dead on the floor, exhausted as you began moving your feet on the floor, making a squeaky sound, which was apparently amusing to you, as you giggled. "Squeak squeak...haha...squeak" You were majorly bored and tired, but this kept you going for a while. "You're fast on your feet..." 

You heard Bakugo grumble from beside you. He was sitting on the floor at your left while he looked down at you, a light pink noticeable on his cheeks. You sat up and now you were sitting opposite the ash-blonde angry Pomeranian. 

You smirked, "Did the angriest kid in school just compliment me?" You asked as you leaned in forward, your left hand in front of your crossed legs and your right hand covering your mouth, as if in shock.

"And when you open your big mouth and tell a soul I'll kill you." He narrowed his eyes down at you as he toughened up. Your smirk only grew wider, and your urge to tease him pushed you closer. "And your good with the ball, now we're even"

"Even?" You stood up and walked to the entrance, picking your bag, Bakugo following after, the both of you exiting the place and walking side by side. "Yes even. So the next time we do this, you'll have to compliment me first."

"NO WAY IN HELL NOT GONNA HAPPEN, AND WHY WOULD I DO ALL THIS WITH YOU AGAIN IN THE FIRST PLACE!?" Bakugo shouted as he walked with you, you both stopping at a junction. "Because we're friends now...aren't we, Ba-Ku-Go?" You broke up the syllables of his name just to give him that little push as you turned on your heels to face him. "Whatever."

"Sure"

"Anyways I go this way, ya coming?" Bakugo asked as he pointed to the route on the left, his crimson eyes looking ahead as they glistened in the light of the setting sun. You thought he'd never been prettier. 

"Too bad. I go this way. See ya at school though!" You said as you turned on your heels again, putting your hand up as you walked away, following the right path, he only scoffed. "Whatever"

You were back home, a huge gate refusing you to enter the mansion that stood behind it. You placed your thumb at the place where there's supposed to be a doorbell, instead, a fingerprint scanner, and it shone green, the gates opened wide. You were inside the house only to hear loud meows echoing through the lonely area. "I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT WHISKERS!!"
