AJ
So. Exams. Cool.
Studying went great. I convinced Bakugo to help me. It went like this.
"Wait, I'm confused. Thirteen minus eight?"
I turned to Kirishima, who I genuinely couldn't believe he asked that.
"IF JOHNNY HAS FIVE APPLES....."
"WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AJ?"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Bakugo shouted.
Kirishima and I started laughing and Bakugo groaned.
"You two are dumbasses. You are both going to fail."
"Wait! Mr. Bakugo, I have a question."
"What, AJ?"
I stifled a laugh, and pointed at his shoes.
"WHAT ARE THOOOOSE??"
Kirishima slammed his fist on the table, and I started crying with laughter, no sound audible from my mouth.
I saw a tiny smile creep up on Bakugo's face as he shook his head.
"Impossible. The both of you."

The practical exam.
We were told it was some robots. But instead, we have to fight pro heroes.
Cool. No worries at all.
Except for the fact I have to fight the Symbol of Peace with Mister Anger Issues and Señor Broken Bones.
When Aizawa told me who my partners were, I gasped.
"Wait, what? Why not make it even and pair me with Serena?"
"Because it isn't even. You two know each other so well to the point you know each other's moves and can communicate solely by brainwaves. This way, you have no advantage over the other teams. Any other questions?"
"No sir."
"Good. We can begin."
Yayyy. (Derogatory).

"Bakugo. We can't fucking beat All Might. His name is literally All Might. You are literally on crack. Are you nuts?"
"You dumbass! Shut up. You and stupid Deku can stay back while I take care of this. Since you are incapable."
I rubbed my forehead angrily, groaning.
"You shithead. You are too busy up in your own head that you can't see for 20 seconds that it's dumb as hell to fight. He's not the number one hero for no reason!"
He shot a blast at me out of anger and it sent me to the ground.
I landed on my back and blacked out for a second.
"AJ! Are you okay?" Izuku asked, shaking me awake.
"Yeah. I'm good. It's fine."
"Kaachan. You hurt her! We need to just get out of here and-"
"Oh! Leaving so soon?" All Might asked, landing behind us.
I looked at him. His eyes had such malice in them. I had never seen him like this before. It was like there was a whole new person was standing in front of us. I was genuinely scared.
Izuku picked me up and jumped away, and Bakugo tried to attack.
He got sent flying after getting a hit to the gut.
"Young Midoriya! Don't think you can escape so easily."
I had Izuku put me down and I stretched out my wings.
"Find Bakugo and make a plan."
"What about you?"
"I'm a big girl. Now go."
He nodded and ran to find Bakugo, All Might landing across from me.
"Ah, think you can take me alone, do you?"
I squared up to All Might, smiling.
"Not at all. I just gotta help my friends."
All Might charged at me, but I was able to dodge him.
He turned around in confusion.
"Oh! Speedy are you? I see I can't beat you that way."
He clenched his fist.
"But I still have brute power."
He threw a punch and my wing blocked it, but it still hurt.
All I could do was block his punches. My two options were let him hit me and pass out, or let him hit my wings until one of us got tired. Even if that one of us ended up being me.
I felt something inside me, and suddenly a wave of energy took me over.
I jumped backwards, and then in the air.
My wings spread and I thrust my arms forward, letting the energy inside me flow out my hands.
A ray of golden light collided with All Might, sending him flying backwards.
While he was distracted, I ran for my miserable little life.
I was able to find Bakugo and Izuku, who seemed like they had finally quit arguing and would actually be able to get shit done. Not only that, but Bakugo had a plan.
We thought we were prepared, but All Might appeared out of nowhere.
"I found you!"
He sent a punch flying towards Bakugo's face.
He couldn't dodge it, he wasn't fast enough.
So I jumped in front of him, and the punch collided with my stomach, sending me flying into a wall.
My brain then decided to clock out for the night. Understandable. Have a good day.

"Fuckin dumbass." I heard someone grumble.
I sighed.
"You called?"
"You're awake! How long have you been up, dipshit?"
"Since right now."
I opened my eyes and made direct eye contact with Bakugo, who was sitting with a large ass box of hershey's kisses.
"Here. Take this. I feel bad you took my punch."
"You? Feel bad? Are you sure you shouldn't be in this hospital bed?"
"Whatever."
He opened the pack of chocolates and started eating some.
"Gimme kiss."
His face flushed red as he stared at me.
"What?"
"Kiss! Candy."
"Oh. Here."
He handed me a handful of chocolates and I popped one in my mouth.
"You shouldn't have done that. You could've gotten yourself hurt."
I stared at my body in the hospital bed.
"If this isn't you definition of hurt, I'm so glad I bailed out in the tournament."
He grumbled and started to stand.
"You know what? Never mind. I'm sick of this bullshit."
I quickly grabbed his hand before I could even think about it.
"No! Don't leave!"
He looked at his hand clasped with mine, and turned away from me.
"What?"
"I'm glad you care, really, and that you visited me. It really does mean a lot."
"Whatever."
"Katsuki."
He turned and looked at me.
"Thank you. Really. Now can you sit down? I don't want to be alone. Let's talk shit about class 1B."
He sat down and smiled slightly.
"Don't have to ask me twice. Let's start with that Monoma dickhead."
