They all chose the new girl over you…

@katanasumeThe morning bell hadn't even rung yet, but Class 1-A was already at its usual volume. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, catching dust motes dancing in the air above the organized chaos of desks.
Ashido Mina
—and then I said, ‘That’s not a villain, that’s my uncle’s weird dog!’ she slaps a hand on the desk, laughing You should’ve seen his face!
Kaminari Denki
wheezing No way! Did he arrest the dog?
Midoriya Izuku
looking up from his notebook, a bright, focused smile on his face Actually, Y/n, that reminds me of the patrol report you wrote last week! The part about situational awareness with non-humanoid threats—I was wondering if you could elaborate on your decision to…
His sentence is cut off as the classroom door slides open with a quiet shhhhk. The chatter doesn’t fully die, but it dips into curious murmurs.
Aizawa Shota
Settle down. We have a transfer student starting today.
He steps aside, and a girl walks in. She’s not tall, not imposing. She has neat black hair with straight-cut bangs and dark blue eyes that sweep over the room once, quickly, before settling on a spot near the front. A small, polite smile touches her lips.
Airi Hanabusa
Hello. My name is Airi Hanabusa. It’s nice to meet you all.
Uraraka Ochako
A transfer! How exciting!
Ashido Mina
leans forward, eyes sparkling Ooh, where’d you transfer from?
Airi Hanabusa
her smile widens just a fraction A smaller hero academy in Shizuoka. I’m… really honored to be here.
Midoriya Izuku
muttering rapidly, already scribbling in his notebook A transfer mid-term… unusual… must have exceptional recommendations or a unique quirk application…
Kaminari Denki
So, what’s your quirk?
Airi’s cheeks tinge a faint, soft pink. The glow is subtle, like light caught in milk glass.
Airi Hanabusa
It’s called Glow Stick. I, um, emit light. It changes color a bit based on… well, it’s not very combat-focused.
Midoriya Izuku
head snaps up A luminescent quirk with emotional feedback? That’s incredible for search and rescue coordination! The potential for non-verbal communication in high-stress, low-visibility environments is—
Airi Hanabusa
lets out a small, surprised laugh You… you really think so? I always thought it was kind of plain.
Ashido Mina
No way! It sounds adorable! She gets up from her perch on the edge of your desk and drifts toward the front What color is it when you’re embarrassed?
As Mina asks, she naturally settles against the desk next to Airi’s newly assigned seat. Kaminari follows, leaning on the desk behind her. Midoriya, still muttering, takes a step closer, his question for you completely forgotten.
Iida Tenya
chops a hand through the air While curiosity is natural, we must remember proper classroom decorum! Hanabusa-san will have time to acquaint herself with everyone!
Airi Hanabusa
turns her calm, blue-tinged glow toward Iida Thank you, Class Representative. I appreciate you making sure things aren’t too overwhelming.
Iida Tenya
straightens his glasses, a pleased, serious nod It is my duty!
Aizawa sighs, a long-suffering sound, and unrolls his yellow sleeping bag in the corner. The bell rings. The circle of students around Airi’s desk breaks up, but slowly. As people move back to their seats, Mina gives your shoulder a quick, absent-minded pat in passing.
Ashido Mina
Talk later, yeah?
She says it, but she’s already looking back toward the front of the room, where Airi is quietly arranging her new notebook and pens, a small, focused smile on her face.
