After the tower was destroyed thanks to the help of Bakugo, and Gang Orca had applauded the students, the briefing was finally over. Making my way to the front door, I noticed that the students who had taken and passed the exam were all near the front of the building. I took this as an opportunity to catch up with my friends, bursting outside. The small period of gloom had already worn off, and I was refreshed after washing my face in the bathroom.

"Inasa! Todoroki! Bakugo!" I called, excitedly running over to the three boys. I noticed a girl, whom I couldn't recognize off of the top of my head, was also with them. She was the one that created the illusion of the Northern Lights, if I remembered correctly. The group turned my way, surprised looks etched on their features.

"(Y/N)! I didn't know you were here!" Yoarashi exclaimed, pulling me in for a giant hug. I laughed and embraced him back, enjoying the feeling of his arms around me. His large bear-like stature made me feel safe and warm. I heard the girl hum, presumably interested in my presence.

"Oh? Who's this?" she said, voice lifting up a bit, "It's like, totally dope to meet you, yo! I'm Utsushimi Camie!" I beamed at her and waved, my mood sky high because of Inasa. He always knew how to lift my spirits.

"I'm (L/N) (Y/N), and I go to UA with these two," I replied, gesturing to Todoroki and Bakugo, "I'm currently in my hero internship with Gang Orca." She "oohed" and clapped, in awe of how a big-league hero had requested me as his trainee.

"I don't even like, know a person who has such a macho trainer like Gang Orca besides you!" she gasped, a hand delicately placed over her mouth, "Your quirk must be like, super dope!" My eyes widened and I broke eye contact, panicking for a bit. The three guys looked at me funny, wondering why I was taking so long to respond. It wasn't long before things got awkward, and a certain someone wanted to break the curse of silence. 

"They don't have a quirk," Bakugo barked, shoving his hands in his pockets, "If you're gonna be a whiny pussy about it, don't even bother. A hero should own it and be proud." I shot him a look, as I wanted to be the one revealing. It was far too late now for a callback, as Camie had heard every single word he said. She paused for a moment, looking me up and down.

"You're in school with these hot guys, which is like, super rad, and you got invited to work with Gang Orca? That's, like, lowkey actually so cool, yo! You got all of this without a quirk, and like, that so cool! Your life is straight fire!" I didn't mean to get a big head, but a part of me wanted her to keep saying more. I feigned shyness, however, to avoid drawing out time -- I didn't want them to miss their rides back.

"You flatter me too much," I murmured, face red. The girl laughed and cupped her cheek with one hand, winking at me.

"You're cute! UA has got some cute people, huh Inasa?" The baldie suddenly perked up and nodded vigorously, passionately agreeing with his friend while addressing Bakugo, Todoroki, and me.

"Yeah!" I stammered nervously at his comment, trying to find the words that best fit how I felt. It was a problem, really, with me and finding the fitting things to say in a situation. Luckily, someone called for Inasa, Bakugo, and Camie for a moment, that resulted in them briefly leaving for the time being. Todoroki wasn't the best person to start a conversation with, so we were left in silence for a few moments, where I just stood and hummed awkwardly. But fortunately after that, someone else came to speak with him. Unfortunately for Shoto, it wasn't a person he liked very much.

"Shoto." Endeavor's voiced sounded out, footsteps ceasing as he stopped in front of the two of us. He greeted Todoroki solemnly, staring down at his son, then to me. I looked right back into his bright blue eyes, not wanting to back down to him. I could've sworn I saw the pro hero soften his gaze, but it was probably because of an overactive imagination.
