After her weird, but in the end rewarding, heart to heart with Bakugou, Chinami had gone straight home and gone to sleep. The emotional toll that the day had had on her was taking over and all she wanted to do was sleep, so she did. Obviously she fed Cosmo first and had something to eat herself but other than that, she didn't do anything else.  The day afterwards had been mostly uneventful except for when the media broke in while they were having lunch. It had caused a massive panic leading to very hectic hallways. Once again, Chinami had gotten home and fallen asleep right away.  

Getting up the morning after had been a hard task too. It was officially six years since her parents passing. Six years since she'd seen them. 

Despite not really feeling all that sad, whenever this date rolled around every year, Chinami always took a turn for the worse no matter what. It was like her brain automatically turned on sad mode just because of the date. It was ridiculous really. Either way, she still got dressed in her uniform, fed Cosmo, gave him an extra bug hug and kiss on the head before leaving to go to school. 

As she was locking up her apartment, Chinami checked her phone to find messages from both Momo and Kyouka telling her they would be there for her all day. It was sweet really. Sending a quick thank you to both, she set off to the bus station. 

The ten minute bus journey went by as quick as usual and in no time, she was walking through the classroom doors. Unbeknownst to her however, Mina Ashido was waiting on the other side, watching the door intently for Chinami to step through. As soon as the girl entered the classroom, the alien girl tackled her into a large hug taking her completely off guard. For a second she wondered whether Mina knew what today was but she pushed that thought away. There was no way she'd know. 

"Chinami!" The girl squealed, hugging her tightly. 

"Uh- Hi, Mina!" She managed to breath out. It was kind of hard to speak while being squeezed by someone. Finally Mina let her go but her face still remained excited. 

"I've been thinking since our make up yesterday and realised that we both have pink hair! Not only that but we're the only two people in this class of colour. And no I'm not saying that because I'm pink, I'm actually from Ghana. Well, my mom is!" She rambled, holding onto Chinami's arm as she dragged her over to her desk. 

"Yeah I guess you're right." She laughed. 

"You bet I am. If you don't mind me asking, what ethnicity are you? I'm part Japanese as well as Ghanaian, my dad's still got dark skin but he carries the Japanese you know? I'm pink cus I get my quirk from my aunt, neither of my parents have this coloured skin." Once again, Mina just kept talking. It was nice that she was suddenly comfortable around Chinami but God did this girl speak. 

"That's fine to ask. I'm barely even Japanese really. My mom is mixed, white and Japanese, while my dad is Filipino. As you can probably tell, I take after him with my features." Chinami had never really spoken about her ethnicity before, normally kids found it an excuse to bully her so she just stopped mentioning it.

"Woah that's actually kinda cool!" Mina exclaimed, making Chinami laugh. It was nice talking about this, it gave her a chance to speak about her parents in a positive light. Who knows, maybe today wasn't going to be too bad after all. 

"Right, to your own seats. Now." Announced Aizawa as he slowly made his way into the room. Saying bye to Mina, Chinami went back to her own seat, sparing a quick smile to Iida beside her. The guy was still kind of tense around her so she was trying to make him feel as comfortable as possible. It wasn't really working though, the guy still straightened even more at the sight of her and she'd noticed him watching her from across the class as if she was going to do something wrong.
