An Idiots Guide to School Romance · Y/n story by @finalastronomer

The U.A. High School cafeteria hummed with the usual morning chaos. Trays clattered, chairs scraped, and the smell of miso soup hung heavy in the air.

Kaminari Denki

stirring his rice listlessly Dude, you think she'll be hot?

Mineta Minoru

without looking up from his pilfering Who?

Kaminari Denki

The transfer student, dumbass. Aizawa said she's coming today. From America.

Mineta Minoru

stops, eyes narrowing Wait. You actually care about a transfer student? Since when?

Kaminari shrugged, his fork tracing lazy circles in his breakfast. His yellow-tipped black hair drooped forward, hiding his eyes.

Kaminari Denki

I'm just saying. New girl. Fresh start. Maybe she hasn't heard about... y'know.

Mineta Minoru

snorts The "Kaminari Denki" reputation? Bro, your reputation has a reputation. Girls cross the street when they see you coming.

Kaminari Denki

First of all, that's not true. Second of all, I'm being serious. I could change. Be a better guy. Start fresh.

Mineta finally looked at him properly, one eyebrow raised in genuine disbelief.

Mineta Minoru

You? Better? You tried to peek at the girls' locker room three weeks ago. On camera. In front of Aizawa.

Kaminari Denki

groaning, dropping his head onto the table I know, I know.

Across the cafeteria, Bakugou sat with Kirishima and Ashido, his scowl fixed on the door like he was personally offended by its existence.

Bakugou Katsuki

Where the hell is she? I'm not wasting my whole morning on some late ass transfer student.

Kirishima

grinning Man, chill out. Planes get delayed all the time. She'll show up eventually.

Ashido Mina

leaning forward, eyes sparkling Ooh, I hope she's cool. Like, American-cool. Has she seen snow? Does she have a pet bald eagle?

Bakugou Katsuki

deadpan She's a person, not a zoo exhibit, raccoon eyes.

Ashido Mina

You're so fun at parties, Bakugou.

The door to the cafeteria slid open with a soft hiss. Every head in the room turned.

Present Mic

from the teacher's table, far too loud for 7 AM WHY IS MY BREAKFAST COLD?!

Aizawa's eyes swept the room once, landing on Kaminari's table for a beat too long before he turned and walked away without a word.

Kaminari Denki

quietly Guess she's not here yet.

Mineta Minoru

talking with a mouthful of stolen soy packets Or she saw you and ran back to the airport.

Kaminari Denki

Shut up, Mineta.

Kaminari pushed his tray away, appetite gone. He glanced at the clock on the wall. Homeroom started in twenty minutes. If she didn't show by then, she'd miss the orientation.
