Smoke and Bombs

7: Class Rep.

After a couple of minutes, everyone summited their votes and wrote the results on the board. "I got three votes!" yelled Izuku. I looked up from my phone and could not believe what I saw on the board. "Alright which dumbasses gave that damn nerd three votes?!" yelled Bakugo.

"Why are you guys yelling at all?" I asked just loud enough for them to hear. Izuku apologized and Bakugo just growled.

Bakugo lean down towards me with an annoyed face, "Did you vote for him?" he asked.

With a smirk, "I thought the votes were supposed to be anonymous why do you want to know?"

He just stared into my grey eyes. In a whisper, "Can you just answer the question?"

I waited then answered, "No I did not and before you ask I did not vote for you either."

He stood straight up again and took his seat again facing the front. Why did he care who I voted for? I looked over to Iida because who was utterly crushed by the results. It must be because he did not receive a vote. 

I heard the chair behind me move and saw my brother pass me. Both Izuku and Yaoyorozu made their way to the front. "Your president is Izuku Midoriya and your vice president is Momo Yaoyorozu," announces Aizawa sensei. "That is all for homeroom. Enjoy your lunch." 

I got up from my desk and head to the lunchroom. I was waiting in line when I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hey, Eijiro."

"Hey, Y/N. Where are you sitting today?" he asked

"I was going to sit with Izuku as always. Ochako is fun to talk to and Iida has interesting ideas."

"So your ditching your best friend?!"

"No of course not. How about today I start sitting with you? I do sit with Izuku every dinner so he shouldn't feel too bad."

"Great! Follow me when you get your food," he said. I grabbed my tray of food and waited for Eijiro to grab his. As we walked past Izuku's table I told him I was sitting with Eijiro from now on. He seemed happy that I was going off on my own. I gave him a smile, followed Eijiro, and sat at his table staring at my food.

Ever since we started high school I can see that I have been a little too attached to my brother. I think it was so I would not be alone in a new environment and have someone to lean on. As Aizawa sensei said I need to fight my own fights. I need to be more independent and not subconsciously protect Izuku in situations I am not a part of.

"Oi, smokey idiot! Are you not going to eat?!" I was brought out of thoughts and looked to see a familiar face sitting on my right.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"I should be asking you that because I always sit with shitty hair."

"Who's shitty hair?" He motived his head to the red-haired boy sitting in front of me.

"You mean Eijiro? His hair is not shitty!"

"Whatever."

We ate in silence until a siren started to go off. Everyone started to panic and head to the exit. I was following Eijiro while Bakugo was behind me. We were walking in the crowd until we started to get split up. I lost sight of Eijiro and could not see anyone else in my class. I was starting to have an anxiety attack due to the large crowd. When I feel someone pull me towards one of the walls.

I was against the wall, eyes wide and having trouble breathing. I kept trying to catch my breath until I gentle hand lifted my chin to look at them. My grey eyes met Bakugo's crimson eyes. He had us pinned to a wall using his body to shield us from the mod passing by. I had my hands on his chest and was gripping his shirt.
