Ashido, once again, slapped the palm of her hands together and gave a small bow to [____]. "Aaaaa, I'm so sorry! It seems like I won't be able to go with you after class, this time...But promise me you'll still go, yeah?! I really want you to go! I'll be rooting for you!!"
"Don't worry, Mina..." [____] decided to not let her outgoing friend know how much easier it would be if she didn't tag along, after all. "You have to practice... I understand that."

She followed after Kirishima and Sero to not head to homeroom class alone. "Mind if I join you, guys?"
"No way; you're chill." Eijiro petted the girl's head a few times, since Bakugo wasn't around he figured it would be a once in a lifetime chance to do it. "Whoa, it feels soft. Sero, you try it!"
"May I?" Hanta didn't wait for [____] to give him permission, since Kirishima didn't even ask first. So he petted her head as well. "This is kinda fun. It's like if she's a puppy."
"Please don't touch my hair..." She was trying to move their hands away from her head, feeling degraded after being compared to a puppy. "It's not funny..."
"Oh, we're sorry, [____]." Kirishima laughed it off, but Sero actually felt bad for the girl.
"You're just very cute, I didn't mean to offend you."
'Quick! [____]! Think of something to say!' She didn't have to wait long enough to be unintentionally saved by the person she had planned on speaking with later that day.
"Guys! I finally found the actress I was telling you about—!" Denki was about to show what he had on his cell phone until he recognized the girl standing in between his friends. "[____], you're here..."
"Kaminari, good morning." She smiled. "What were you going to show us?"
"Ahaha, it's nothing...Really...So..." He cleared his throat and placed his phone back into his pocket. "Whoa, wait a sec...Something is off here...Where's Blondie?!"
"Bakugo is sick today. I know, right? What the fuck..." Hanta handed him the news. "Today we get to have a peaceful time, the Gods have spoken."
"Oh, praise the Gods! They heard our pleas!" Denki got on his knees to over-dramatically look up at the sky for a moment. He got up to dust off his uniform. "Anyway, [____], wanna sit with us at lunch? I can show you some funny videos I was watching the other day— How do you feel about going out with me, sometime? I know a great store that sells all those small collectible things that you like!"
He laid the offer flatly on the table, [____] was too caught up on his first question to answer anything else. "Um..."
"Are you talking about the gachapon place that's near your house?" Hanta furrowed his eyebrows at Denki. "Is that what she likes...?"
"Bakugo isn't here. It's a fair game, today." Kaminari grinned at the two guys. "[____], I will buy you all the gacha that you want!"
"With what money? You're always broke..." Kirishima took it upon himself to protect his best friend's crush from being pulled onto some weird scenario. "You can't ask [____] out, unless you have a death wish with someone."
"Wait...You're asking me out?" [____] blinked a couple of times before bowing her head to Denki. "I'm sorry, Kaminari. I can't."
"Damn, that must of hurt..." Hanta was glad he didn't say anything right then, otherwise he would of ended up making the same face his friend was rocking. "Denki, are you okay..?"
"Why does it feel like the Gods want me to stay single for the rest of my life..."
