Baka!

Welcome to UA

"Emiko darling! You'll be late if you sleep any longer" my mother's voice sang from outside my closed door, I didn't move. I laid on my back staring at the ceiling, just as I'd been for the past few hours. Couldn't sleep. My eyes darted to the door as she lightly knocked on it

"Emiko?" I was quiet waiting for her to open the door, when she finally did her face softened "You didn't sleep, did you?" I shook my head, running my hands through my blonde hair which had grown messy from hours of tossing and turning.  She settled on the foot of my bed placing a careful hand on my leg

"I know the circumstances aren't the best, but UA is going to be everything you always dreamed of and more. Can you trust me on this?"  I nodded

"Of course, you know I will" I cleared my throat and a bright smile covered her face

"Good! Now, it'll be nothing to you if you never show up.  So hurry up and prepare yourself for the day" she patted my leg and disappeared through the door, I sighed.

Everything will be fine, Emiko. You'll go to UA, and everything will get better.

I was ready in nearly an hour after showering and fastening my hair up into a high ponytail with two small strands of hair hanging down in front of my face, my mother neatly ironed my uniform and handed me my glasses

"No thanks, mom." She frowned looking into my eyes

"You put in the contacts? But they cover your eye-" I shook my head at her mention of my eyes, she got the hint and said nothing else. She placed a light kiss on my head and ushered me out the door quickly, as I left my father was pulling into the drive way. He hopped out sending me a small wink

"Good luck on your first day, Monkey! You'll tell me all about it when you get home?" I frowned at him using my nickname so loudly, he ruffled my hair and I swatted his hands away

"Yes dad, now please stop" I hissed through my teeth, he chuckled kissing my forehead

"Love you, Monkey" I growled lowly as I walked away, god he's embarrassing. Thankfully I lived 10 minutes away from the school in walking time, I made it and was about 5 minutes late. Which turned into nearly 15 minutes as I struggled to find my class. I walked into class 1-A and immediately the class went silent, I internally groaned as everyone's eyes landed on me. I shoved my fists in my pockets looking away from them, a man in the front who I recognized as Aizawa spoke first after what seemed like an eternity

"Ah. Emiko Hayato? You made it. You can take a seat anywhere you please" I scanned over the faces in the class spotting a seat in the back corner, I stride over to it and sit slouching slightly and clenching my fists in my pocket. Everybody was still staring and it was starting to piss me off, I let out a low growl and they all whipped around to face the front, Aizawa gave me a knowing smirk and I looked away clenching my jaw. Please let this go by quickly. Luckily classes went by quickly and lunch rolled around, I sat in a small booth by myself eating my ramen when I felt a presence across from me

"Hello! I'm Midoriya Izuku!" The small green haired boy smiled at me excitedly waiting for me to speak, before I could a small girl with brunette hair plopped down beside him

"Izuku- ohhh you're the new girl, aren't you?? Oh you're so pretty! Like really pretty... where did you come from? It's she pretty Izuku? I didn't realize it because she was wearing that frown the whole time-" I listened to the small girl ramble on with my eyebrows raised, does this girl ever breathe? Izuku made eye contact with me and blushed instantly turning and attempting to calm her down.

"Oh by the way I'm Uraraka Ochako!" I nodded swallowing the lump of noodles in my mouth she rested her chin on her hands and gazed up at me

"I know Aizawa introduced you before, but I figured you'd like to introduce yourself?" Izuku cut in rubbing the back of his neck

"Emiko. Hayato Emiko" I said simply, Ochako's eyes lit up

"That sounds so pretty! Where are you from?" I blinked at her

"I'm not from around here" I said, taking more ramen into my mouth so I wouldn't have to talk.

"It was nice meeting you Emiko-oh! We have gym together after this, you should walk with us okay?" Ochako exclaimed looking at Izuku who had been weirdly quiet for some time, he nodded smiling widely at me choosing to disregard whatever thoughts were in his head. I could tell he had been analyzing me the whole time. Nonetheless I obliged discarding the empty bowl and following the pair, they chatted along the way and I took my time looking around the school at the students we passed by. Most of them looked like ordinary people, while others had quirks that took on a more physical appearance- like mine. I took a deep breath, suddenly self conscious

No one knows. No one will know, you've hidden it from people for so long.. all the way up until-

"Hey! Emiko! Are you even listening to me?"  She threw her hands on her hips and pouted, I gave her a slight smirk. She's adorable.

"No, my bad. Continue?" She went on and introduced me to all the girls in the locker room, even helped me to open my locker and make sure I had the right uniform. So this might not be such a bad time. The day went along smoothly and I even had plenty of things to tell my father, in that moment I felt like everything would be okay. Little did I know my life would turn completely upside down very fast- the next day actually. Because the next day is when I met him: Katsuki Bakugo
