Demonic [Bakugou X OC]

Chapter 19

Asami's POV

Morning classes dragged on offensively slow. Part of me wanted to just get the meeting over with while the other half preferred to just jump out the window. I felt as if I had just run two full marathons and it wasn't even noon yet. Not only did I have the meeting to worry about, but I still have no fucking clue what is going on with my quirk and still feel extremely uncomfortable with the majority of the girls in the class. 

Taking a breath, I tried to focus my brain on one thing at a time. The meeting with HQ is the most important right now. Dad and Recovery Girl said that they'd look into different tests to see what is going on with my quirk and I already have the Support Course working on the quirk suppressant shots so all there is to do on that is wait. As for the girls, I having no idea what is going on but Bakugo made it seem like it was fine last night so I'll just take his word for it now. Suddenly, I remembered that I kissed him on the cheek yesterday after he had walked me home. Putting my head down on my desk in an attempt to hide my embarrassment, the desire to just jump out the window started becoming more and more appealing. I mean, he was acting fine today so maybe it wasn't that weird? I reassured myself before sighing and deciding to just figure it out later, forcing myself to instead focus on mentally preparing myself for the meeting with HQ.

Since I have no way of knowing who they would actually send to attend, there was a plethora of ways this meeting could go. Because my dad was still young when my quirk first manifested, he didn't gain full custody of me until I was 12, even though he legally adopted me way before that. Before then, I lived in a boarding facility run by HQ so that they could oversee my training and maintain control over my quirk and its development, so I have a good understanding of what the majority of the staff were like. The most sensible theory would be that they send someone from their PR team to attend the meeting since it has to do with the media, but for obvious reasons the whole PR team hates me so that would suck. It is also plausible that they would send one of the higher ups from administration to deal with this since they have more say in what I can or can't do. Them coming would suck because then there is a high risk that I would be forced to drop out of UA in order to prevent a public protest to my enrollment. If I'm forced to drop out, I'd have to return to their training program since I still need to learn how to completely control my quirk whether I attend a hero academy or not. I can also see Kenji forcing his way into this situation in another attempt to get me to join the special ops department. 

I could feel my head spinning as I tried to consider all of the outcomes todays meeting could bring, only to have my thoughts interrupted as the bell rang and the room began to fill with chatter. Lifting my head to check the clock, I groaned as I still had another hour before the meeting. I really fucking hate waiting, I thought to myself as I fully sat up to stretch my back.

As everyone chatted away in their little cliques, I noticed Mina and Ochako walking over to my desk. Ochako had her usual, bubbly grin while Mina had a look of absolute determination. 

"I'm making you spill your guts today during lunch so don't even think about trying to escape," Mina started as soon as they were in front of my desk. 

I felt my body tense up at the declaration. Did they hear about this morning? I internally panicked. I figured that everyone would find out eventually, but I didn't think it would be this quick. 

"Mina, I think you scared her," Ochako stepped in, obviously noticing my distress. 

"SHE CAN'T HIDE IT FOREVER!" she shouted back in defiance. 

I couldn't help but feel my chest begin to tighten as my anxiety continued building. Looking down, I could see my hands beginning to tremble as I quietly tried to keep my breathing under control. 

"Shut the fuck up raccoon eyes," I heard a gruff voice retort from behind me, making jump slightly in my seat. "You're fucking noisy."

She blankly stared at him in response before glancing at Ochako and then leaning over my desk to whisper in my ear. "If it's blasty I might have to send you to therapy," she whispered. 

"Wait-what?" I blurted out in response, immensely confused now as to what we were talking about.

"Who you like!" Ochako whispered cheerful, joining Mina in leaning over my desk.

I felt my anxiety immediately melt away at her words, unable to keep myself from bursting out laughing at my own paranoia. Although I couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed about working myself up, I couldn't help but revel in the overwhelming relief. 

"LAUGH ALL YOU WANT! I WILL GET IT OUT OF YOU!" Mina shouted again, jumping up to stand tall as she made her declaration. 

"I still don't understand what you mean by that but sure," I responded, still giggling to myself. "Unfortunately, your interrogation will have to wait. I have to go to Principal Nezu's office during lunch today."

"WHAT?! Whyyyyyyyyy" Mina groaned as she collapsed dramatically on the floor. "I thought I could for sure get it out of you today!" she grumbled, making me laugh again. 

"Sorry to rain on your parade," I responded in between giggles, leaning over my desk to look at her sprawled out on the floor. 

Suddenly, I felt a strong tug on the back of my blazer, causing me to fall backwards into my chair. Spinning around to see who the hell just yanked me over, I was met with Bakugo with one hand gripping my blazer and the other resting on his chin as he kept his eyes on the window. "You're in a skirt, dumbass," he mumbled as he released his vice grip, avoiding eye contact. As I stared blankly at him, I couldn't help but notice the pink tint across his cheeks and ears. Suddenly realizing what he meant, I felt my own cheeks begin to burn as I quickly spun back around and hid my face in my arms on my desk. 

I felt a gentle tap on my head, causing me to turn slightly to peak out from under my arms. "Asami? What happened?" Ochako said gently, obviously concerned at my sudden change in mood. Next to her, I saw Mina staring off behind me wide eyed before looking back down at me. Thankfully, the bell began to ring just as she went to say something, immediately getting cut off by the tone. 

"YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM ME LATER!" She shouted as Ochako began dragging her away and back to their seats. 

I want to DIE!
