 It's finally lunchtime! The tables were inundated with people, so I decided to sit in the bottom left corner of the cafeteria. I made myself serene, but before I could take a bite out of my sushi, I heard a voice saying "Hey, Kuromiya! Are you okay sitting there?" I looked up and saw Midoriya standing in front of me with his lunch in his hands. "Yeah, I'm okay. The tables are too crowded anyway." I replied. "Ida and Uraraka found four empty seats, so you could sit with us." Midoriya told me. I said to him "Nah, I'm fine here. Thanks for the offer." Instead of leaving, he grabbed my arm and brought me to the table where he, Ida, and Uraraka were sitting.

"Hi, Deku! Hi, Kuromiya!" Uraraka greeted us politely. I sat down next to Midoriya, and across Ida. "So, why not tell a little bit about yourself, Kuromiya?" Ida inquired. "Yeah! We could know more about you!" Uraraka disclosed to me. "Fine, I'll do it" I replied. "That's great!" Midoriya conveyed. I explained to them "You already know that my name is Theo Kuromiya. My favorite color is Lime Green, I'm 16, I enjoy listening to pop music, and I rap."

Midoriya asked me "Kuromiya, what's your quirk?" "Oh cod! I forgot about my quirk! What do I say?" I thought to myself. I decided to tell the truth, so I claimed "Honestly, I can't tell you." "Wait, why?" Ida quizzed me. "My friends told me not to." I continued. "But they are your friends, Kuromiya! Why do you listen to them? It's YOUR quirk!" I took a deep breath, trying not to seethe. "Look, Ida, my friends are like mothers to me. In fact, I don't even remember my own parents." I analyzed. "Oh, I'm sorry that I made it worse for you." Ida atoned. "It's fine, Ida. In fact, I wanted to apologize to you, Midoriya. I'm sorry that I walked away instead of answering your question yesterday." I retracted Midoriya. "It's fine, Kuromiya. I forgive you" Midoriya absolved me. I felt like all the weight on my shoulders had been lifted. "Um, Midoriya, can we..." I tried to ask Midoriya.

"Oh, look who it is? It's Class 1-A!" A boy with slick, blonde hair teased us. "And looks like they have a new friend, how lovely. I wonder if I could chop him into calamari!" He continued and laughed. "Is that right? And what have you accomplished in your lifetime that makes you Einstein?" I roasted him. "What did you say to me, worthless squid?!" He questioned me. A girl with red hair came up to him and knocked the boy out. "Sorry about that." the girl apologized and dragged the boy to her seat.

"Who was that?" I asked Midoriya. He responded with "That's Monoma. He usually teases us." "Also, How did you learn how to roast?" Uraraka inquired me. "I learned how to rap two years ago," I answered Uraraka's question. "Before Monoma came to us, I wanted to ask you, Midoriya, may we be friends?" I questioned him. With his answer, Midoriya told me "Sure! Anything for our new friend!" Uraraka and Ida nodded. I felt like I'm being accepted for not being fully human. In fact, that IS reality!
