"I'm sorry, [____]!" Mina placed her hands in a pleading way after school was over and [____] had invited her to be her partner. "I asked Momo to pair up with me this time during lunch break! I totally forgot about you for one moment, I'm so sorry!"
"Eh? Momo?" [____] hadn't met this person yet, so she wasn't sure why she was feeling a little envious towards them. "That's okay..."
"Why don't you ask Bakugo to pair up with you? I'm sure having him on your side for once will make you feel a lot safer. He won't be attacking you, at least! And he's our leader, he likes getting asked for stuff like this, trust me, even if he claims that it's a pain!"
"T-That won't happen..." [____] only discarded the idea because she genuinely believed that Katsuki wouldn't want to spend a single second of his life, practicing with her. She also thought that Kirishima was most likely his to-go partner and first option.
"You can ask Sero, then! He'll say yes for sure, to work with such a cute girl like you— Oh! You can also ask Todoroki." She lowered her tone to the last part since she didn't want anybody but [____] to hear. "Even though he's the best looking guy in class, remember! He's very quiet and sometimes it comes off as intimidating. I doubt anyone has asked him to pair up, yet!"
"B-But...isn't Todoroki in Midoriya's team? They eat lunch together..." [____] asked her friend. Although the real reason she didn't want to partner up with Shoto was because she still felt embarrassed of what had happened earlier. "Katsuki wouldn't like that..."
'He already thinks Todoroki is my type, when the unfortunate truth is that it's actually him, who I like!'
"[____]! You worry too much about things like that!" Mina giggled, "Even though its kinda adorable, you have to be more confident! If you want, I can ask Todoroki for you."
As soon as she offered, [____] shook her head several times. "N-No! You don't have to do that, I'll ask somebody else, on my own!"
"Are you sure? He's just sitting there— Look at him, he's so sexy but no sign of girls around him..." Her friend pointed back to Todoroki's seat using her chin, but the person [____] turned to look at was their team leader.
Katsuki was just scrolling through his phone while Kirishima looked over his shoulder and showed him an article on a video game magazine. After watching the blond yell at him about something incomprehensible, [____] gave her attention back to Mina.
"I'll figure out who to ask..."
"Okay, but remember, if you choose Todoroki, then you have to ask him out today!" The girl finished packing her bag and waved goodbye at [____], "I gotta go home early, my parents asked me to not take long so I can't hang out after all...But just know that I'll be rooting for you, okay?"
"You are making it sound like if I'm going to ask him to date me..." [____] blinked a few times; the burning sensation in her eyes had finally went away on its own. Although she was eager to get home and take off the makeup— She was sure she didn't want to change her beauty routine, after that uncomfortable sensation she was dealing with for hours.
"Well, why not? You can ask for that, too." Mina winked before leaving the classroom. "Good luck, [____]!"
🌸🌸🌸🌸
"Ask Todoroki out on a date....I can't do such a thing! I can't even push myself to ask Katsuki to stop bullying me..." [____] reminded herself what a crazy idea that was, while walking off campus. "I asked my chauffeur to not pick me up today, I wanted to take the train home, but...I wonder if I could just use my quirk to practice teleportation?"
"[____]! There you are!" One of her classmates had to catch his breath after rushing to get a hold of her.
"You are..?"
