Ichika's hands shook slightly, her grip tightening on her bag.
Today was her first day at the prestigious hero school: UA.
She was in Class 1-A, taught by a teacher named Aizawa Shouta, or Eraserhead. She had heard that he was the harshest, and that fact alone shook her to her core.
More than anything, she wanted to make a good impression on him. She didn't do well with teachers who were mean. Usually if someone raised their voice at her, she ended up crying. She'd have to be strong. This was a new school, and she'd be a new Ichika.
Ichika 2.0.
As she approached the classroom door she reached out to slide it open, only to find her hands a trembling mess.
She pulled them into fists at her sides in an attempt to stop them from shaking.
"You've got this Ichika... You can do this," she reassured herself, looking down at the latest text from her older sister:
Good luck on your first day, my little kanaria! Break a leg!but not really, or else >:(
With that, she worked up enough courage to enter the classroom.
Ichika was greeted with the rambunctious group that would be her classmates, and a small smile graced her lips as she began feeling better already.
She looked around, trying to decide who seemed most approachable. Ichika wrinkled her nose in disgust. She sensed... perverted thoughts from the short kid with purple hair. It was almost enough to make her sick.
No thank you, she thought to herself as she moved on.
She began looking around in an attempt to determine the character of her new classmates. There was a boy with green hair and freckles who spoke to a bubbly girl with a round face and brown hair.
Well, it looked like the girl was doing the speaking. The boy with the green hair just seemed to be listening very rigidly.
She grinned and almost made her way over to them, but ultimately decided to look around some more before she settled down.
A kid with spiky blond hair had his legs thrown up onto a desk while a kid with neatly done blue hair and glasses yelled at him. The kid with blond hair seemed too cocky for her taste, so she moved along to the next area.
Soon enough, she saw a boy with red and white hair sitting all alone. She frowned slightly at the sight and decided she would keep him company.
She approached him with a bright smile. "Good morning! You're Todoroki, right? I saw you on the way to the recommendation exams, I love your hair! It's so cool! Could I sit with you?"
He didn't respond. He looked at her, confused for a moment, before looking down.
"I understand if you don't wanna talk, that's fine. Do you mind if I talk to you for a bit? If I get on your nerves, I could find someone else to talk to," Ichika offered with a bright smile.
Todoroki said nothing, again, but nodded. He'd humor her for a while, then if he got bored he would tell her that much and she'd go away.
"Okay, so my name is Sakurai Ichika, and—"
With that, she began rambling about things she really enjoyed, speaking with such animation and joy that it was hard to turn away. Her smile was bright, and when she'd do an especially big gesture her teal hair would bounce ever so slightly.
Todoroki found himself listening intently, hanging on to her words as he leaned towards the conversation.
Soon enough, the green-haired boy and the bubbly girl made their way over to introduce themselves to Todoroki and Ichika.
