Izuku's pov
My name is Midoriya Izuku. I have a dream which is to become a dancer. When I was four years old I saw a video of a beautiful dancer whose movements were swift and graceful.
His stage name was All Might. Ever since I saw his video my dream had always been to become a great and famous dancer just like him.
When I was younger all the kids in the playground would be joyfully playing together and enjoying their childhood but I would always alone pratising dancing. Everyone would think I was weird.
I had a friend. His name was Bakugou Katsuki. His parents were really famous dancers so he wanted to follow their footsteps. He would often join me to practise dancing.
"I'm gonna become the best dancer! I'll be even better than All Might!" he would say.
"You're so amazing Kacchan!" I would say back.
I couldn't pronunce his name back then so he just told me to call him Kacchan. Since he was the son of famous dancers he would receive a lot of praises for his dancing when we pratised at the playground or in school.
Soon these good words got to him and he grew arrogant. He thought he was better than everyone. He got into a group of toxic friends and started bullying me.
"Izuku you'll never be as good as me! In fact, your name can be read as Deku which means you're useless!" Kacchan would yell.
Kacchan didn't want anyone else to become the best dancer other than him so he would beat me up and his friends would join him too, but I didn't care.
I would become the best dancer just like All Might! My mum knew my dream so she enrolled me into the best dance school in Japan, UA!
Today was going to be my first day at UA! So I quickly brushed my teeth, washed my face and adorned my new uniform. There was no use trying to brush my messy and curly green hair so I left it.
I wore my favourite pair of red shoes, hugged my mum and left for school. She smiled at me, I am going to make her proud!
UA was giagantic! Students were streaming into the building from every corner. I nervously walked into the school.
My class was 1A so I walked around the hallways till I found a huge door that had '1A' written on it. Before I walked into the classroom I had to remind myself.
Kacchan wanted to become the best dancer so there's no doubt he'll come to this school. Please don't be in the same class as me Kacchan!
I cautiously opened the door and looked around. Literally everyone turned to look at me but I didn't see Kacchan anywhere thank god!
"Get outta my way Deku," a raspy voice behind me said.
I'd recognise that voice anywhere. I yelped as I rushed to my seat. I didn't even want to look at him. Why did you betray me god! Whispers filled the classroom about a son of two famous dancers. There was no doubt about it, it was Kacchan.
Since we had to sit according to our index numbers Kacchan had to sit in front of me, meaning that I had to sit right behind him for the next three years of high school! This is just great.
We were introduced to our teacher, his name was Aizawa-sensei. He had messy black hair and was dressed head to toe in black except for his scarf which was white.
He told us more about UA and an upcoming national dance competition. All of the first years had to participate. Apparently the winners for the last few years were all from UA.
As expected of the top dance school in Japan. The competion takes place a few months from now. I really want to win it!
