It was a bright sunny afternoon and all the kids in class 1-A decided to go to the shopping mall in preparation for camp. Komei ran into Kaminari and Mina when she got on the public bus and the three continued their journey to the shopping mall together.
"I can't believe Mr. Aizawa tricked us again!" Mina ranted as she walked off the bus
"I know right?" Kaminari agreed with his hands in his pockets
"We really need to read in between the lines next time-" Komei sighed as they crossed the street.
Komei wore a red tank top with black shorts to match. She had a green backpack with her hair up in a ponytail letting pieces of her bangs fall down.
They walked through the automated sliding doors letting the air conditioning grace their skin.
It was a scorcher outside today.
"Can we get food first?? I'm starvinggggg" Kaminari groaned holding onto his grumbling stomach making the girl's laugh
"Let's meet up with everyone first-" Komei replied
.
.
.
"Hey! You guys made it!" Kirishima turned around along with the rest of the class
"Yay! We're all here!! At the Kaishi Ward Shopping Mall!" Mina jumped in excitement
'Hey! Aren't those 1-A students?!'
'Yeah! 1-A!'
'We saw them on t.v!'
'The sports festival was so good!!'
"I-I can't believe they still remember that--" Uraraka stuttered looking over to the bunch of fanboys
Komei looked around. The only two people that were missing were Todoroki and Bakugou.
'Shouto said he went to visit his mom at the hospital...' Komei grabbed her phone out of her bag
'...and Katsuki? He just flat out didn't want to come.'
'That's okay...' She groaned biting her lip
It's not like she spent an extra 20 minutes or anything getting ready this morning...
'It's fine-' The girl gripped the phone tighter as she stared at his number contemplating whether to message him or not.
'That asshole-'
Now irritated she slipped the phone into her back pocket. She exhaled and tried to let it go. They were at the mall excited for training camp, together... Let's have fun and make the most of it.
"Hey Komei-" Jirou walked up to the girl
"What are you shopping for today?" She questioned
"Hm..." She put a hand up to her head
"I think I just need a duffle bag to put my things in... and maybe a bathing suit?"
"You got the right idea Komei-"
Komei and Jirou jumped in surprise as Mina hovered behind them.
"Everyone listen up!" The hyper pink haired girl proclaimed lifting her phone in the air
"Tomorrow we're all going to the Haruka Air Water Park!!" She shouted
'Haruka Air?'
"Look! The grand opening is tomorrow and they are letting everyone go in free for the day!" Mina jumped pointing at the social media flier on her screen
"Are you sure it's not fake?" Jirou questioned
"Nope!! Look-" She showed the girl
"It's from their official page!"
"Heck yeah!! What a way to kick off the summer!" Kirishima jumped
"I'm soooo in-" Hagakure beamed
"Sounds like a lot of fun-" Momo clasped her hands together
"Y-Yeah..." Komei nodded along
"Alright!!" Mina jumped up
'Going shopping... and to the water park... with my f-friends...' Komei smiled to herself walking next to Jirou
Never really having friends until U.A, Komei was actually really excited. All the people she met, others that accept her quirk-- people that want to be friends with her... it was such a nice feeling.
The class of 1-A... they all understood.

"Hey Komei you ready?" Jirou walked over to the pinkette who was waiting in line
"Yup! Look here, I found everything I need-" Komei rose up the items in her arms consisting of a black duffle bag and a baby blue two piece bikini along with some sunblock and bug spray for camp
"Don't you think that's a little too revealing??" Jirou questioned pointing at the bathing suit
She grabbed herself a purple and black one-piece bathing suit and a grey duffle bag.
"I-I don't t-think so..." The pinkette looked back at the swim suit double thinking about it
She hated wearing one pieces, they're just like the school uniform ones.
Gross.
But it was super cute and the color, she couldn't find any other like it.
It was just a plane bikini, what was wrong with it?
Maybe Jirou's just more insecure about her body than she was.
Being next in line, Komei walked forward and proceeded to put her things down at the register to pay for them.
'Welp. There's no going back now...'
.
.
.
'Hey is that Midoriya?' Komei looked down from the second floor
Someone's arm was wrapped around his shoulders by the water fountain.
'It didn't look like anyone from our class... did he invite someone else?' She pondered
Jirou and Komei met up with Hagakure, who found Kaminari, Kirishima and Mina calmly stuffing their faces at the food court.
Losing track of time, Komei's stomach began to rumble watching the three making Jirou laugh.
"How about we get something to eat too and join them?" She chuckled hearing Komei's grumbling stomach
'Y-Yeah..." She blushed scratching the back of her head sticking out her tongue
The trio came to the table holding bowls of ramen.
"Mind if we join you?" Komei questioned as the three looked up
"Not at all! Come here Kyo Kyo!" Kirishima stood up to grab three chairs for herself, Jirou and Hagakure
"So what did you guys end up getting?" Jirou questioned as she pulled her chair next to Kaminari letting Hagakure sit on the other side of the boy as Komei sat across from them with Mina who was beside Kirishima
"I bought some new shoes for camp!" Kaminari began
"I got some weights and a new bandana-" Kirishima pointed to the black bandana he was now wearing
"and I got a new bathing suit and a towel!" Mina sparkled
"What about you? Komei, Jirou?" Mina took a bite out of her slice of pepperoni pizza
"Oh, I just had to buy a duffle bag-" Jirou lifted up her chopsticks
"What about you Komei?" Mina cocked her head to the side watching the conflicted girl next to her
The pinkette was stuck in her own head staring at her phone. She was in the middle of writing a message, but kept erasing what she wrote.
She was trying to come up with what to write, but they all sounded stupid.
'Why didn't you come to the mall?'
'Are you ready for camp?'
'What's up?'
It made her feel like an idiot. What was wrong with her? It wasn't her style at all. Instead, the pinkette wrote one measly word.
To Katsu:
Hey.
and send.
Hey... just a hey?
You can't go wrong with a simple hello. She let out a sigh of relief smiling to herself as the four around her watched her in confusion.
"Oh s-sorry..." She looked down tucking her phone away
"Who ya texting Komei???" Mina raising up her eyebrows trying to peak a glare
"N-No one! Just my cousin..." Karin looked around trying to come up with an excuse
"She wants me to get her a pretzel before we leave..." She eyed the concession stand
"So whatcha get Komei?" Kaminari looked over
"I just got a duffle bag too... and a bathing suit-" She rummaged through her shopping bag looking for the chop sticks she threw into the bag
"You bought a swimsuit?!? Yeeeee!! Let me see!" Mina ripped the bag from Komei's grasp
"Woah..." Mina's eyes sparkled holding up the swim suit
"Where did you find this?? It's so pretty!!" She spazzed
The swim suit was a light baby blue. It reminded Komei of the sky and the clouds.
"It's one of the store's on the second level, I forget the name though-" The pinkette put a hand up against her cheek
"Here look at mine!" Mina pulled out her swimsuit
It was a lilac bikini with black lining.
"I think I like yours more then mine-" Komei gawked at the colour
"Yeah Mina! Super!!" Hagakure boasted as she pulled out hers
Hagakure's swim suit was all white with little pink flowers on the top piece.
"Y-You g-guys a-arent p-planning on w-wearing t-those tomorrow... are y-you?" Kaminari blushed feeling the heat rush to his cheeks
"Yeah... why?" All the girls nodded looking over as Kaminari fell backwards in his chair getting a nose bleed
'God has blessed me with this amazing life... Thank you so~' He put a hand over his heart, eyes watching the sky through the ceiling window
"Man pull yourself together-" Kirishima stood up giving the blonde a hand
The redhead was wiping his feint bloody nose with his arm as he pulled the blonde up.
"Kirishima you sly dog... trying to act so cool in front of the girls-" Kaminari whispered dusting himself off striking a cord within the redhead
"I-I'm not!" He shouted as they begun wrestling
"H-Hey... what's going on?" Jirou questioned as they turned around to see the police department running through the mall
"Woah, something seriously must've happened-" Komei stood up causing the boys to stop fighting
"Should we check it out?"
"Yeah let's go-" Mina nodded as they all began to sprint to the crowd that was beginning to form.
....
"Slow down Uraraka. What happened?-" Iida proclaimed putting his hands down on her shoulders trying to calm her
She was frazzled, stuttering on her speech.
"Hey-- Where's Midoriya?" Komei looked around for the green haired boy which caught the brunette's attention
So it turns out Midoriya had a run in with the leader of the league of villains. Tomura Shigaraki.
But what the heck is he doing in a shopping mall... a-and talking to Midoriya? Why?
_____________________
It was later in the evening around this time, Komei pulled out her phone to check her notifications.
Mina, Kaminari and Komei parted ways after getting off the bus and the pinkette was on her way home.
Nothing.
She furrowed and unlocked the phone.
Last time when she didn't know who was texting her, Katsuki messaged back faster than this.
On the bottom of the bubble it says the message was delivered...so he got the text.
She shook her head in aggravation. The girl tried not to let it bother her but that was hopeless.
Annoyed that the blonde didn't message back, she groaned in frustration.
She opened the chat and messaged him again.
Katsu:
Hi.
The pinkette was beside herself. On one hand, she doesn't know why she's instigating a conversation in the first place... and on the other hand during the practical exam... it looks like he lost it even more than he usually does. The girl was worried.
Karin was giving herself a headache. She sighed before pulling out a soft pretzel out of one of her shopping bags.
"Well at least I have this-" She comically took a bite out of the pretzel
'yummy~' Her eyes sparkled
"So the waterpark tomorrow huh?" She looked up to the sky
'It's gonna be super fun'
