My Flower (BNHA Bakugou X OC)

Chapter One

Japan is very different from the Italian countryside. The busy streets. The tall buildings. It had a particular energy about that Mia wasn't able to put her finger on.

The car jostled slightly as it drove over a small pothole. Mia sighed and reached into her bag, grabbing for her earbuds and cellphone. Slipping the earbuds in, she hit play on her music playlist. The smooth voice of Bebe began flowing through her ears. Her favorite song; Siempre Me Quedará.

A hand reached out and stroked the back of hers. "Mia, honey."

Mia removed her earbuds, "Yes ma'am?" Her mother smiled warmly.

"Are you excited, dear? Your first day at your new school. I'm so happy to see you continuing in the Hero course."

The girl simply nodded, not justifying the question with a proper answer. There was something about leaving Europe a few weeks into the school year that left a sour taste in her mouth. Yes, the situation called for a relocation, but to go to an entirely different continent...it was less than ideal.

Ayane sighed. "I know how you feel, but please see this as an opportunity. You'll be attending my alma mater. UA is one of the best schools in the country. We're very fortunate that Principal Nezu allowed the transfer to begin with." She tucked a piece of her dark, bobbed hair behind her ear.

Mia tiredly looked over her mother. She was a slight woman. Very well kept with her delicate features. She was wearing her best fitted blazer and dress pants. This meeting was crucial to her.

"Ms. Nakamura, we've arrived." The driver looked back at the two through the mirror as the car pulled up to the curb.

She nodded, "Thank you. Mia, grab your bag. And straighten up your uniform, please. I want you to look presentable for the Principal."

Her daughter sighed once more, rolling her eyes. Taking hold of her bag, she climbed out of the backseat. Before her stood an impressive set of buildings, lined with glass windows from top to bottom. Standing at the front gate was a blond man with an eccentric leather getup. He wore a large grin upon seeing Mia and her mother. He looked rather...loud.

"Ayane! It's great to see you again!" Yeah...loud was the best word to describe him.

"Hizashi!" Ayane rounded the car to greet the man, "You look great. It's been far too long." She smiled as they exchanged pleasantries. "I'm sure your aware already, but this is my daughter, Mia." Ayane beckoned her daughter over, "Mia, this is Hizashi Yamada. You will know him though by his pro hero name; Present Mic."

The name certainly rang a bell, but not enough to spark immediate recognition. Mia bowed, "It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."

Present Mic put one hand up to dismiss her, "There's no need to be so formal, young lady!" Mia straightened. "I'll be one of your teachers here at UA. I'm actually here to bring you to Principal Nezu's office."

"Thank you, Hizashi. Please, lead the way." Ayane smiled and placed her hand on Mia's back as they followed the pro into the enormous building.

A mouse? No...a dog. Maybe a bear? Mia wasn't sure what the small creature behind the large desk was. "A pleasure to meet you, Mia." He smiled pleasantly at her and her mother. "And Ayane, it's lovely to see you're doing well."

"You as well, sir." Ayane gave a slight nod with her response. It was clear to Mia that her mother respected the Principal.

Nezu smiled and turned his attention to Mia, "It is very nice to have you here, young lady. How are you finding Japan so far?"
