( lil flashback )

𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐊𝐎 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 someone who never could stand up for herself or chose sides. She was always the shy and nice girl in highschool which made it easier for people to walk all over her.

Well it was not always like that if you thought so. She got to know a boy named Izuku and his clumsiness and determined mind to do everything by himself. They got along pretty well aswell as she got close to his other friends from the other classes eventually becoming a very close friend group.

"isn't that the new chick?" sero asked looking out from the huge class windows which made ochako look there aswell. she is really pretty, thought the girl to herself looking at a brownskinned girl with curly hair, different colors of hair accessories decorating her hair, simple yet perfectly done makeup on her smooth face, pink miniskirt and a white croptop on.

sometimes ochako wished that she had enough money to wear these sort of things but either ways she couldn't complain since she lived a 'normal' life just not with the richest parents.

"i heard she is a model or so" mina shrugged scribbling something into her notes. a model was no wonder but ochako was wondering why a model would choose this exact school when there are hundred different ones that were better.

"apparently her last name is arias, her brother is a senior, romeo- where is bakugo?" eijiro asked looking around the class and not seeing the blonde male anywhere. everyone could guess that he was skipping classes like usual.

"rooftop i guess" mina answered as she watched the male walk away while thanking her.

"class A..class A- oh hey is this class A?" ochako's attention was immediately averted from the window when she noticed the brownskinned girl standing there while holding her bag with both of her hands.

"yeah come in" momo smiled at her as she entered the room returning a small smile. "you mind if i sit there?" the new girl asked ochako who immediately nodded feeling her shyness take over her as the girl sat down with a smile.

"i'm romania, and you?"

ochako sighed looking at the familiar picture she had still framed on her small apartment wall after years of it hanging there and she decided to take it down. the picture was just a simple selfie printed that she had taken with romania back when they were in senior year and when they USED to be "bestfriends" and that until romania decided to sign up with a company and then took advantage of her the moment she became THAT global model until now.

the brown haired girl took the picture out of the frame while a lighter was on her other hand.

"well then goodbye you fu-" she was cut off by the loud ringing of her phone that was resting on the small coffee table by the couh as she walked over to see izuku's contact name calling her which made her smile as she picked up the call and put it on speaker.

"i called today and wanted to ask if you are ready for the trip?" izuku asked the girl who was smiling brightly who didn't even waste any time and burning the picture in her hand and dropping it inside the sink were it was burning. "yeah got my bags ready" she said taking her phone and going into her bedroom were her stuff was packed.

"you don't mind me picking you up tomorrow right?" izuku questioned the girl who sat on the bed and started swinging her feet around like a excited high schooler. "no surely not, would appreciate it" she answered with a smile on her face and could hear the male laugh softly.

"alright will see you tomorrow then" he said already wanting to hang up which ochako clearly didn't want but before she could say anything he had already done it.

she sighed looking at his contact as her thumb was hovering above the call button but she didn't want to come off as clingy and annoying so she threw her phone across her bed and laid down herself.

Honestly she didn't know whether to just confess to him since it has been like this since high school. they always remained friends even with the romania thing going on and he was exactly the only one who was there for her without shaming her but also the same person who made her realize that she was hurting other close people by helping romania and romeo.

Now thinking back at it she really regretted everything she had done for romania to hurt other people. Ochako still had room to change and more to work on her own character.

( flashback one year ago )

"did you write everything down?" romania asked ochako who was sat besides her by the hotel hot tub with her phone in her hand. "what was the last one-" "maybe if you had paid attention like i said then you would've known what was the last one" the brownskinned girl scoffed holding the glass of wine in her hand and chugging it down at once.

ochako sighed just writing down what she had thought she heard and finishing the list off. "mind if i joined you girls?" a soft voice from behind spoke up and both of their eyes landing on a beautiful blonde haired girl with a blue satin robe around her body and letting it drop down to show off her blue bikini and getting into the hot tub.

"mariah green" romania mentioned her name with a grin and holding the glass up for ochako to pour another drink in which she quickly did before she would be nagging at her. "romania arias and ochako uraraka if i am not mistaken" the blonde haired said sitting at the other side to face the curly haired female.

"hm meeting you in the netherlands is surely a coincidence right?" mariah kept on talking and could feel ochako not moving her eyes from her which made her chuckle at the effect she even had on the girl. "oh shut up we literally meet on your movie set when you had to to that scene with bryan" romania playfully rolled her eyes and looked over to the brown haired girl.

"leave us alone for a sec" she said gesturing her to go away. "aww why you sending her off?" mariah asked reaching for something she had dropped by the robe she had on which looked like a pack of cigarette and a lighter. it was always the pretty ones with a damaged lung, ochako thought to herself while standing up and going out of the private hot tub area and then back to her room that was across from there.

ochako immediately let herself rest on the comfortable bed in her dark dimly lit hotel room and looking straight out of the opened balcony where dhe could surprisingly still see the two females and hear them giggling over something.

"god i can't believe my brother hit that" romania told mariah while she puffed the smoke into the air. "who? ochako? hell i would too with the body she got" mariah shrugged taking a sip from the wine she poured herself in while holding the cigarette in her other hand.

"she might have a better body than me or whatever but i can't believe my own brother actually listened to me and slept with her" romania scoffed leaning on the edge while running her fingers through her thick curls. ochako felt a sharp pain in her chest when she heard it.

she kind of did have the feeling that romeo was using her and she was not acknowledging it but now knowing that it was romania's sick self that suggested it as 'joke' made her think about her more differently than the romania back in high school who was caring, nice, loved to help everybody and now she was just straight up a bitch putting up a front in public while millions of people loved her.

"heard that y/n and baku-" before ochako could hear anything she stood up to shut the balcony door and drowned out the sound of them probably shit talking the next person they could think of. She sometimes wished that she had never chose to work for romania even when she was the one who helped her with the debts and the money problem she was going through when she moved out of her parents house.

( end of flashback )

the next morning probably the most calm day in ochako's life since quietly packed the rest of the stuff for the madrid trip and dropped it off besides the front door. getting ready to do her morning routine and just overall enjoying the sun shining into her small but cozy apartment whilst she was getting ready for deku to pick her up for the airport.

today she had decided that she wanted to look cute and for some reason she wanted to dress for herself and not for deku- well also kind of but she did want to feel confident in her own way.

ochako checked herself out in the mirror one more time and sighed to herself. "is this too much?" she asked herself looking down at her thick thighs that were peeking out from the skirt she wore and she can vividly remember how insecure she used to be in them but now she didn't want to feel that anymore and decided to just go with it.

The notification sound on her phone going off was a sign that deku had already arrived by her apartment building which made her smile so she rushed to get the rest of her stuff, opened the door and grabbed her keys to lock the door behind her.

maybe this trip was going to help her with what she went through or made people go through these past months.

a/n: so..
