After lunch, Midnight and Present mic stood before class 1-A at the Cafeteria exit. The other classes had left earlier so the lunch room was nearly empty.

"We're here to take the children while you students go have your hero training" Said midnight.

The class looked over to the table where the villain children sat. They each held cards in their hands and there was a noticeable pile on money sitting in the middle on them.

"I wonder what game they're playing" said Izuku

"More importantly, why is there money in the middle of the table?!" questioned Uraraka

'Are they Gambling?!?' the Class thought

Midnight didn't waste any time walking over to the children. As she approached, she heard their quiet voices.

Kozato put his cards on the table "I'm out"

Kohina followed "Yea, me too"

Clive sighed as he did the same " Me as well"

Haru and Shiro stared each other down as they pushed their money to the middle of the table.

"I'm all in" said Shiro

"Me too" Haru mumbled

"Ready then?" asked Clive "Call it"

Haru put down his cards "Full house"

As Haru went to grab the mountain of money, Shiro put her hand over his and shook her head.

She laid her cards down "Royal straight flush"

Haru frowned but pushed the money towards Shiro.

Midnight slammed her hand on the table blocking Shiro's hand from her winnings

"Just what on earth are you children doing?" asked Midnight

The children slowly lifted their heads to face midnight, their faces holding bored expressions

"Its just a simple game of poker lady" said Kozato as he put his hands behind his head

"Yea, no big deal" said Kohina

"Its a very big deal, Children shouldn't be gambling!" Midnight scolded

"Mind your own business Oba-san" said Shiro as she took the money from the table

"That's Ms.Nemuri to you young Lady" Midnight corrected Shiro, but it went in one ear and out the other as Shiro counted her money.

"C'mon Kids! Its time for your reform classes" said present mic

"Reform?" Clive repeated confused

"Yes! you kids were chosen to be reformed into good little boys and girls, that way you won't end up down the wrong path" explained midnight

Shiro stood up and walked away from the table towards Class 1-A, the rest to the children following her, blatantly ignoring Midnight

"I don't wanna take classes" Shiro said firmly, the other children nodding their head agreeing with her

"Sounds boring" Said Kozato

"And lame" added Kohina

"Dont wanna" mumbled Haru

"Well you don't have much of a choice, now let's go" aid midnight as she opened the cafeteria door waiting for the children to go through

they didn't move an inch.

"Hey, I said let's go" Midnight repeated

"and I said I don't wanna take classes" said Shiro

"C'mon kids don't make this difficult for us" said present mic

Shiro sat down on the floor(criss-cross applesauce) with her arms folded. She glared at Midnight

"I'm NOT going" said Shiro

"That's it!" Midnight stormed towards Shiro, but was blocked by the other children before she could even get to her

"She said she's not going" said kozato

"Who said we had to listen to you?" said kohina

"You should back off, Oba-san" said Clive

"Baka Oba-san" Said Haru

Class 1-A stared at the confrontation in worry

Izuku looked at Shiro who was watching the other children protect her

Izuku stepped forward a little but stopped when Shiro turned her head to face him

"h-hey Shiro" said izuku as he squatted to be on Shiro's level

"Hello Izuku, did you like my present earlier?" Shiro asked with her head slightly tilted

Izuku remembered the sweet apple she had given him"Yes, it was delicious" he said with a smile

Shiro nodded "Im glad you liked it"

Uraraka nudged izuku "Maybe you can get her to go with midnight, she seems a little comfortable with you" Uraraka whispered

Izuku nodded "Hey Shiro, why don't you wanna go with midnight?" 

Shiro looked back at midnight, she was still blocked by the other children

"She is not the boss of me, she is also very rude" said Shiro

"That's rich coming from a child that's rude herself" said Midnight

"Mind your business Oba-san, I am talking to Ku-Kun" said Shiro

Izuku raised an eyebrow at the nickname"Ku-Kun?"

Shiro faced Midoriya once again "Do you not like it?, I give all my friends nicknames, are we not friends Ku-Kun?" Shiro asked her eyes narrowing

Izuku put his hands in front of him "No no, I love the nickname!, of course we are friends!" Izuku quickly replied

Shiro nodded in confirmation and got up. She walked towards midoriya and stood right in front of him. She took his hand and placed it on top of her head.

"Ku-Kun is my friend" Said Shiro a tiny smile showing on her face

Izuku felt a tiny blush creep onto his face 'so cute'

"how about we make a promise Shiro" said Izuku

" promise?" Shiro Questioned

"Yea! if you promise that you and your friends will be good, I promise that we'll hang out lots and lots!" said Izuku

Shiro put her hand to her chin as she thought about it

"do you think you could do that for me?" asked Izuku

Shiro looked back at midnight and looked at present mic as well. she waved her hand signaling her friends to join at her side. 

"I don't like Oba-san or Mic man, but I want to play with Ku-Kun. Shiro promises to be good for Ku-Kun" said Shiro

"Then that's a promise" said izuku as he held out his pinky.

Shiro did the same as they hooked their pinkies

"Pinky swear made! whoever breaks their promised has to swallow a thousand needles" Said Izuku

Shiro looked at Izuku as her cheeks became a light pink as they unhooked their pinkies.

"Be sure to keep your promise" said izuku as he ruffled Shiro's hair

Shiro looked at her pinky and nodded her head "Keep promise"

Shiro went over to midnight "I'm ready to go Ms. Oba-san"

Midnight let out a sigh but none the less led the children out of the cafeteria, Present Mic following behind

"Good work izuku!" Said Uraraka

"You got their leader to be friends with you! that's so manly!" said Kirishima"

"If things go well, we won't have to worry about them causing trouble anymore!" said Kaminari

Izuku sheepishly laughed as the class was finally able to make it to the outside training ground.

Izuku looked down at his pinky before forming a fist.

'Hopefully, she keeps her promise'
