"Hurry up and tell me what all this is about," I huffed at Kaminari. "Otherwise, I'm leaving."

Kaminari twiddled his thumbs. "Well, Mr. Aizawa wanted me to tell all the girls in our class that he wants them to get together and help raise the class morale."

"Okay," I shrugged, then looking at Yaomomo. "That doesn't sound too difficult, what does everyone have in mind?"

"About that," Momo sighed. "Apparently Mr. Aizawa had something in mind already."

"What is it?!" Uraraka excitedly asked.

"Cheerleading..." Jirou answered, her arms crossed against her chest and her jaw clenched.

I groaned. "Ugh... Cheerleading? Seriously?"

"Come on guys," Tsu calmly spoke. "It's not that bad, ribbit."

"I think it'll be fun!" Hagakure cheered.

"Me too!" Mina agreed.

"We should come up with a cheer!" Uraraka added.

"At least you three are excited," I chuckled. "I'm not nearly as enthusiastic, but I'll help out."

"Thanks you guys!" Kaminari grinned, then pausing. "What are you guys going to wear?"

"What I'm wearing now probably," I replied, gesturing at my gym uniform. "Is that a problem?"

"Hmm," Kaminari hummed in thought, holding his chin in his hand. "It's just not very cheerleader-ish."

Momo raised her hand. "I have an idea!"

"Ribbit, what is it?" Tsu asked, tilting her head curiously.

Momo smiled, unzipping the top of her gym uniform, I shamelessly started at her exposed stomach and semi-exposed chest. Suddenly, her stomach glowed, meaning she was using her quirk. We watched silently as clothing dropped to the floor in front of her, Momo picked the clothing up, holding it up for all of us to see.

"How's this?" She asked.

"That's perfect!" Mina exclaimed.

I sighed, looking at the orange, yellow, and green cheerleading uniform. It was an orange cropped tank top and skirt with yellow and green accents, it had 'UA' printed on the shirt in green.

"Well it looks fine," I said, agreeing with Mina. "I'm just not looking forward to wearing it."

"Don't worry," Uraraka reassured me. "You'll look great!"

"Then I'll start making more right away!" Momo exclaimed.

"Great," Kaminari smiled. "Since you guys have this covered I'll get going now."

"Leave it to us!" Hagakure chirped.

Kaminari waved before leaving and we headed for the changing rooms. It probably wasn't a good idea to start changing clothes in the cafeteria. 

Momo handed out the uniforms she made, giving one to me, Mina, Hagakure, Tsu, Uraraka, and Jirou, who reluctantly put the outfit on. I changed into my own outfit, making sure that I had shorts on underneath my skirt and tying up my hair. I looked down at my stomach, adjusting to the unfamiliar feeling of having my stomach exposed. 

"Jiji, I didn't know you had a belly button piercing!" Hagakure exclaimed, scaring me a little.

"That's because I don't expose my stomach much," I replied. "Except for when I'm changing, but I always change quickly."

"Well it's super cute!" Mina squealed. "Maybe I'll get one too."

"I could do it for you for like 500 yen." I offered, shrugging.

Mina looked surprised. "Really? Have you done it before?"

"Yeah," I nodded, grinning. "I did most of mine myself at home."

"That's so badass!" Hagakure giggled.

I shrugged. "If you say so."

"Guys we can keep talking about this later," Uraraka interrupted. "Let's go already, the games are going to start soon."

I leaned over and spoke to Mina quietly. "My offer's open anytime, just come talk to me."

Mina grinned, giving me a thumbs up.

"Is everyone ready to go?" Yaomomo asked, handing out some pompoms she made.

"I don't want to do this..." Jirou whined.

I patted her shoulder with my pompoms sympathetically. "Mood."

"Let's go!" Uraraka urged, shaking her own pompoms.

Momo smiled, nodding in agreement before leading us out of the change rooms. We walked through the halls for only a minute or two before we were blinded by sunlight as we stepped out onto the field. I couldn't help but shiver at the feeling of all this attention, although I couldn't see everyone's faces, I could feel the hundreds of eyes on me. 

Jirou, Momo, and Tsu also seemed a little uncomfortable with the attention, but Mina, Hagakure, and Uraraka were taking the attention in stride.

"Come on guys!" Hagakure yelled. "We should cheer on our classmates!"

"Okay, on three we all yell 'go class 1-A'!" Mina exclaimed, ruffling her pompoms in front of her. "One... Two... Three!"

We all raised our pompoms, ruffling them above our heads. "Go class 1-A!" 

I watched our classmates reactions curiously. Kaminari was grinning from ear to ear, giving us a two thumbs up. I spotted Kirishima and Sero cheering back us at, raising their arms and howling in support. I looked for Tenya, spotting him off to my left, I dropped my pompoms and ran over, waving.

"Hey! Tenya!" I called to him, coming to a stop right in front of him. "Can you believe what they convinced me to wear?"

"Uh... Wow..." He mumbled back, his face red up to his ears. "It's uh... Different... Compared to what you usually wear."

I couldn't help but find his reaction kind of adorable. He was so innocent, and so easy to tease!

"Makes me look hot, am I right?" I asked, placing a hand on my hip.

"Yeah..." He replied breathlessly.

I jumped back, feeling heat rise to my face. I may have been a flirt, but I didn't expect him to agree with me so sincerely, I felt flustered.

Tenya seemed to snap out of his stupor, his posture stiffened and he brought his hand to his mouth, looking off to the side. His ears were even redder than before.

"Um... I-I'm going to go change and get ready for the tournament," I stammered, turning my back to him. "See you later."

I quickly made my escape, high-tailing it back to the change rooms, fanning my face with both my hands. I swung the door to the change room open and shut it quickly behind me, turning my head to look at the mirror on the wall. My face was as red as a cherry, my expression looked dumbfounded.

I leaned against the door, sliding onto the floor and burying my head in my knees. I stayed like that on the floor until there was a knock on the door. I quickly got up, startled by the sudden noise and vibration of the door. I glanced in the mirror again, thankful that the redness of my face was fading, and then I opened the door. Crowded around the door was Uraraka, Momo, Mina, Hagakure, Tsu, and Jirou, all of them still dressed in their cheerleader outfits.

"Finally," Mina sighed in relief. "It took forever to find you."

"You guys were looking for me?" I asked curiously. "What's up?"

Momo sighed, pressing the palm of her hand against her forehead. "It turns out that Kaminari tricked us, Mr. Aizawa never asked us to do that, we came to tell you that."

"Kaminari," I hissed quietly. "Next time I see him I'm gonna shove a rod up his ass and put the other end in the ground so he can be put on display."

"Brutal," Jirou winced, then smiling. "I like it."

Suddenly I felt closer to Jirou, maybe we had more in common than I initially thought.

"Anyway, they're going to announce the match ups for the tournament soon, ribbit," Tsu said, redirecting everyone's focus. "So let's get changed and head to our class's spectator seats."

"Good idea," Momo agreed. "Hurry and get changed everyone."

All of us changed out of our cheerleader outfits and back into our gym clothes before leaving the change room. Most of the girls chatted with each other as we walked to our seats, but I found myself lost in thought.

Usually Tenya would laugh at my jokes or play along when I tease him, but this was difficult. He wasn't just going along with my jokes like usual, he answered me too seriously and I got flustered. Now I'm not sure what to do, or what the right thing to do is in this situation.

Whatever the case, I have enough to focus on right now. I somehow made it into the tournament, so until this whole Sports Festival thing is over, I'll just hold off on talking to Tenya.

I didn't know that I would later come to regret my decision.

I know it's been a while since the last chapter was published, but here's chapter 30 finally! I've been busy with graduation stuff so I haven't had time to work on this, but I've been doing some serious planning with some friends and I have right up until after the training camp planned! So look forward to the coming updates! And I'd love to hear your guesses and reasons why in the comments about who Tora will intern with!
