The U.A. cafeteria is loud, as usual. I can hear the clatter of trays, the low murmur of conversations, and the occasional explosion from the other side of the room, where Bakugo is making his weekly "threaten the underclassman who looked at him wrong" speech.

Mina Ashido

Okay, so, let me get this straight. she leans forward, her eyes sparkling You have been pining after Bakugo for, like, months now. And in all that time, you have successfully managed to: one, become his favorite target for verbal sparring; two, steal his notebook more times than I can count; and three, get him to actually smile at you.

She holds up three fingers for emphasis.

Mina Ashido

But you still think he sees you as an extra.

Kyoka Jirou

jabs a fry in your direction What she means is, you are the densest person I've ever met. And I'm friends with Denki.

I feel my face heat up as I stab at my own lunch. It's not that simple. They don't see the way he still snaps at everyone else, the way his temper goes from zero to one hundred in half a second. They just see the version of him that I get.

Eijiro Kirishima

Hey! What's up, everyone? he nudges my shoulder You look like you're thinking about something heavy. Bakugo kind of stuff?
