Ghosted (Bakugo x OC)

The Sports Festival PT. III

I turn to face Shinso with a smile.

"We did it!!"

A small smile presents itself on his lips.

"Yeah. We did."

I smirk.

"I guess that means we're competitors now."

He nods once.

"Don't think I'll take it easy on you."

He smiles for real this time

"Neither will I."

Midnight begins her announcements and we turn away from one another.

Ojiro and the class 1-b boy now successfully free of Shinso's brain washing ask to be removed from the competition. I feel midoryia's eyes land on Shinso and I.

I try my best to seem as interested as possible in what Midnight has to say, but I can still feel his gaze. I can't help but worry about what he thinks of me after working with Hitoshi.

I shake the thought from my mind,

The battles are announced and I'm facing Mina Ashido. I look over at my classmate to find her already starring at me. I give her a brisk nod before walking back inside the arena to find a place to sit.

I won't have much time to create a strategy because Shinso and Izuku are fighting in the first round. When I get up to the student seating I see that everyone has already sat down with their respective groups.

Iida and Uraraka are sitting together they appear to be deep in discussion, Sero and Kirishima are sitting with Mina, and nearby Kaminari is sitting next to an agitated Bakugo.

His arms are crossed and he's tapping his foot indignantly, a frown is ever present on his lips.

I try my best not to think about his lips as I walk further towards the seating area.

I look around for Shoto when I remember that he's currently mad at me. My shoulders slump slightly as I find a seat in the front alone.

My mood quickly lifts when I see Izuku and Shinso enter the arena.

I raise to my feet and place my hands on the railing. My body leaning slightly over the side.

"Whoooo! Go Shinso! Give it your all!"

He turns in my direction and waves at me with a grin before turning back to face his competitor.

I turn around to get back in my seat only to see all of my classmates starring at me with odd gazes.

I blush when I realized that I had just shouted incredibly loud (something out of character for me) and that I was cheering for someone outside of our class to win.

Embarrassed I sit down as quickly as possible, and pay particular attention to the battle. I begin my nervous habit of clasping and unclamping my hands as I wait.

Iida questions who Shinso is exactly and I listen as Bakugo begins to grumble.

"Tch. For once in my life I hope that damn nerd wins."

I bite my tongue in an attempt to prevent a snide remark towards Bakugo's unsportsmanlike comment. I clamp my hands together in agitation. My buckles turn white from the pressure.

My anger is soon forgot as the battle begins.

I watch amazed as Shinso brainwashes Izuku and he begins to walk towards the area that is out of bounds. I resist the urge to shout out "That's my friend!!". Instead I clap loudly along with the rest of the crowd.
