(I apologize for taking this chapter down while some of you were in the middle of the story, I wanted to make changes bc I didn't like the way I first wrote the chapter.)
–——————————————————————

"Who should I team up with... if I team up with Todoroki it will make it seem like I'm relying on him because of his strength. If I team up with Katsuki... lord knows what'll happen knowing how short his temper can be... So I guess that leaves Izuku.. but if I team up with him, there's no doubting everyone will come after us from the start..." You mumbled, standing away from everyone. (The mumbling is a habit you unknowingly picked up from Izuku.)

You looked up and around to where the three boys were standing, and began to think of the 'Pros' & 'Cons' of teaming up with one of them. But before you could start, a sudden thought crossed your mind for a very split second.

'I like them all but I don't know who to choose..'

When you realized what crossed your mind, you smacked your hands against your face and internally screamed. 'Get it together, (y/n)..' you sighed.

"Hey." Greeted a sudden, unfamiliar voice.

Immediately, you turned around to see who was calling you and saw the tall, indigo-haired boy who challenged Class 1-A.

"Uh, heyyy..." You greeted back, feeling somewhat awkward.

"I noticed that you were standing over here by yourself for a while, and I was wondering if you  wanted to join my team? We need one more person..." He mentioned, throwing a thumb behind him to where his teammates stood.

You took a peep behind him to see who his team consisted of, and noticed something odd about them. 'What's with the blank stares?' You wondered. Your eyes switched back to the indigo haired boy, before staring at him questionably.

"Sorry, I should introduce myself.. I'm Hitoshi Shinso. You've probably seen me around U.A." He lazily reached out, leaving one of his hands tucked in his pockets.

"Yeah... you were the guy that challenged my class..." you blurted.

The guy known as Shinso, was surprised from this response. Immediately, your eyes widened at the realization of your wording. "Ah, I'm sorry... That was rude." You clenched, nervously gripping onto the sleeve of your tracksuit.

"Wait. You're part of Class 1-A? I should be the one apologizing then. Didn't mean to scare the rest of your class... it's just that the loud-mouth with the hedgehog hair was annoying." He insulted.

Suddenly, hearing this changed your mood. You went from being awkward & nervous, to being defensive?

"Excuse me, but I don't appreciate you talking about my friend like that..." you defended, trying to keep your cool.

Shinso went wide eyed at your response as he was shocked to hear you stick up for Bakugo. Suddenly, a giggle was heard. You looked at Shinso and saw him laughing which only irritated you more.

"Wow. If I had known that you two were a thing, I wouldn't have said anything. Never thought someone like him could get a girl." He snickered.

"What. WHAT?! OKAY YOU TOOK THIS WAY OUT OF CONTEXT!! WE'RE NOT DATING I WAS JUST DEFENDING A CHILDHOOD FRIEND-"

"I don't care what your relationship with Bakugo is. Just let him know to not get in my way." Shinso scoffed, making it obvious that his offer to join his team, was up.

With that said, Shinso left. You stood there annoyed and watched the boy walk off, before looking around the field and checking the time remaining to join a team.

[2 minutes left]

"Two minutes... wait. TWO MINUTES AND COUNTING! OH SHIT, I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN A TEAM!!"

Just before you lost all hope, a voice spoke to you from behind.

"Hey, (y/n). Wanna be on our team?"

You turned around to face the person and felt relieved upon seeing them. "Huh? Oh. OKAY! PERFECT TIMING!"

Finally, the 15 minutes to form a team were up as teams were getting ready to start the cavalry battle. Your team was a crowd you didn't really expect to team up with. And that crowd consisted of Jirou, Sato and Koji.

Short flashback to the last remaining minutes...

"Hey, (y/n). Wanna be on our team?" Asked Jirou

You turned around and accepted her offer without hesitation. In the last few minutes, Jiro and Sato explained to you what they had in mind for a plan.

"Ok, so I thought that we could have Sato and Koji in the back and somehow use their quirks defensively meanwhile I could lead in front and try to grab someone's headband while they're distracted." Jirou explained.

"Hmm, good plan. So that leaves me..."

"As the rider." Sato finished.

You were hesitant for a moment and started to overthink about all the stuff that could possibly happen as a rider.

"(Y/n)? Are okay with it?" Questioned Jiro, as she brought you out of your thoughts.

"Yeah." You simply replied.

With all that, said and done,  the four of you continued to talk in a huddle and told each other about strategies that you had in mind.

End of flashback...

"Formed your teams? Made your plans? Too bad if you haven't! Here we go!! Starting the countdown for this battle royal!!" Present Mic announced before counting down.

As soon as he yelled "start", everyone immediately began dashing towards Izuku. As expected.

Your team, on the other hand, started going after the others who were too focused on Izuku right away. Some teams seem to have had a similar plan, but the difference between their plan and your team's plan was the fact that they weren't thinking all that defensively. While you distracted the opponents with your attacks, Jirou would use her quirk to quickly steal their headbands before they had any time to notice.

You guys were doing pretty good, until you felt a small gust of wind go across your face as your headband was suddenly snatched away.

"What the hell?!" You snapped in confusion.

You turned to see who the bastard was, and saw some blonde haired kid and his team running off with your headband.

"YOU BASTARD! GIVE THAT BACK OR I'LL BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA YOU!" You roared.

'Wow.. someone's hanging with Bakugo too much..' Jirou thought as her eyebrows furrowed together.

Suddenly, another yell was heard.

"WHAT THE FUCK, FUCKING ASSRAG PIECE OF SHIT MOTHERFUCKING FUCK, GIVE IT BACK!! I'LL KILL YOU!!"
(This is what was translated in the manga when I first read it, so I'm using it lmfao)

"Wow, who's the potty mouth?" Wondered Sato.

"Who do ya think?" Jirou replied sarcastically.

Sato turned his head to see if his assumptions were correct, and were confirmed the moment he saw the angry aura that surrounded the explosion boy.

"Ooooooh. Someone is ready to kill a bitch." You mumbled. Pffft like you were one to talk. You literally threatened to beat the crap outta someone five seconds ago!

But back to the situation...

There you guys were. Trying to scramble up some more points to make up for the loss. 'Thanks a lot Kazoo-Kid. Hope Bakugo catches you...' you pout, shooting glares at the boy from across the field.

Sure, you could've went after him, but you knew that the main part of the plan was to be lowkey and defensive. You continued to stare in your opponent's direction, and suddenly saw Katsuki, & his team chasing after him. Your jaw slightly dropped as you noticed a murderous aura surrounding the enraged boy.

'Okay, that's fuckin' scary...'

You went back to minding your business and focusing on leading your team, when suddenly, a storm of purple balls came dropping down from the sky.

"EW! What the hell is this!" You gasped, before trying to pry off the sticky ball that stuck to your shoulder.

Then, you heard a sinister little laugh echo nearby. You looked in the direction of the laugh and saw Mineta peeping out in the open from...

"Shoji?!" Jirou squealed.

"Is that allowed?!"

Before anyone else could act, a tongue suddenly came flying in your direction. You were almost thrown off guard but quickly used your quirk and forced the tongue away from you. When the tongue retreated, Asui suddenly poked her head out too!

"Asui too?" You gasped.

"Call me Tsu." She corrected.

Things were just getting weirder and weirder as time went by. At least that's what you thought.

"You guys wait!" You shout, bringing your team to a halt.

"Look.." You pointed.

Your team looked at the surroundings and saw that Mineta's grape-like things were scattered all over the place. Unfortunately, they had your team completely surrounded.

'Not sure if grapehead did this on purpose, or if he had no intention of this happening at all... whichever one it is, I need to think of a way to get me and my team out of here!'

Time was counting down fast and you still hadn't collected enough points to move onto the next round, not to mention you haven't gotten revenge for your stolen headband! You tried to quickly come up with a plan, but nothing was coming to mind. Then, a lightbulb switched on.

"Guys! Do any of you have water?" You asked.

"Huh? why?" Asked Sato.

"Nope... sorry." Apologized Jirou.

"Um... I have some..." said a small voice. You looked back at Koji and saw that he was holding out a bottle of water.

"KOJI, YOU'RE A LIFESAVER!!" You cheered loudly, scaring the shy boy.

His response was a blush, along with a little sweat drop. You went on to absorb the water and told your teammates to stay close before focusing on trying to absorb more moisture from the air, thankfully, it was a warmer day & you were easily able to absorb the moisture. Your teammates huddled closely around you as instructed, and watched you create a big wave of water. You reached your arms high into the air, causing the wave to form a wall, before swinging them down, and allowing the water to crash down on the area in front of you. As you hoped, the balls were swept away by the waves and cleared the way for your team.

Immediately after succeeding, you guys went back to taking headbands before going back to retrieve your own. But, there was a problem. The person who stole your headband didn't have it anymore. Instead it was Katsuki who had it, and he was high up in the air soaring to Izuku!

"TWENTY SECONDS!" Announced Present Mic.

"WHAT!!" Jirou shouted.

"NEVER MIND OUR HEADBAND, LET'S MAKE A BREAK FOR IT AND TRY GET THE TEN MILLION POINTS!!" You demanded.

Even though there was barely enough time left, you didn't want to give up. Your teammates ran as fast as they could and just before you made it to where Izuku's, Todoroki's, and Katsuki's teams were, time ran out.

You jumped off your teammates and thanked them for all of their hard work. After time was officially called, the top four teams who made it to the final event, were announced. Those teams, in order, were Team Todoroki. Team Bakugou. Team Shinso. And Team Midoriya.

"Shinso? Where the heck was that guys team?" You asked, wondering what happened to Iron-Man's team. (Tetsutetsu)

Finally, after the teams were announced it was lunchtime! Everyone began to leave the stadium and go for their break. Before going out to eat, you wanted to find one of the guys to congratulate them on their win and making it to the final event. The first person you met up with was Shinso and there was no way you were going to say anything to him considering what happened before. You continued to walk a little further and found Izuku.

"Hey Izuku!" You called out.

"(Y/n)-san!" He greeted.

"I was looking for you." You informed.

Hearing this made Izuku's face turn red.

"M-me?!" He stuttered.

"Yeah. I wanted to congratulate you on your win." You smiled.

"Oh. T-thank you." His blush turned brighter.

"If you don't mind me asking, do you want to grab a bite with me?" You kindly offered, unknowingly blushing in the process.

He looked at you in awe before agreeing. As you two were heading towards the exit of the stadium, Todoroki appeared, and asked to speak with Midoriya alone. Though being hesitant, Izuku agreed. You were going to wait but he kindly asked you to go ahead without him and that he'll catch up.

"Todoroki looked real serious... I hope nothing bad happens between them..." you mumbled.
