16: 𝙱𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚎𝚗 𝚐𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚜
Nova couldn't believe she was still at UA.
Her third day was beginning. She walked to the school as though some outside force was pulling her there.
She should quit.
She knew that. Everyone was uncomfortable with her being there. She wasn't wanted. She was getting burnt out and she was only three days in. She didn't know how long she could last, she didn't have the determination needed for this course.
She stopped on her way to UA. Frowning as she saw a large crowd around the gates. But this time they weren't bustling students... Everyone looked to be adults. Wearing nice clothes and holding cameras, microphones and notepads.
Reporters?
Nova tried to inch her way towards the gates. But as she got closer to the school she ended up being swarmed.
"ARE YOU A STUDENT?!"
"WHAT'S ALL MIGHT LIKE IN A CLASSROOM??"
"GIVE US YOUR NAME SWEETIE."
"IS IT TRUE ALL MIGHT IS A TEACHER HERE??"
Nova backed up as cameras were shoved in her face. Eyes wide in shock an confusion.
All Might? They were asking about All Might? They must've found out he was a UA teacher.
"YOU LOOK FAMILIAR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN THE PUBLIC EYE BEFORE?" A male reporter yelled over the others.
Nova backed up through the crowd, away from him as he stared with genuine confusion. He stared at her like he actually... Recognized her. Eyes squinted and mouth turned into a frown.
Then they widened in realization, right as a light flashed in Nova's face and she was swallowed up by the crowd.
"I think he as a teacher reminds me every day that I attend the best uni-"
Nova ran into someone and they both fell backwards as the crowd pushed in on them. Passing through the gate she landed on top of someone, a pain burst in the back of her head. Luckily her fall was cushioned by them. "Ah!"
The gate suddenly snapped shut as the reporters started to push towards them, locking the reporters out and the students in.
Nova rubbed her head, feeling a welt already forming and giving her a splitting headache. Her blurry vision slowly came to a focus on her surroundings.
"Are you guys okay?!"
Someone ran up. Nova looked up and saw the green haired boy, Midoriya.
Nova blinked, realizing that she wasn't alone on the ground. She was actually sitting almost on top of someone else. The boy groaned in pain, making Nova realize that if her head hurt. His face likely did as well.
"I'm so sorry!" Nova said, turning. She was still sitting between his legs as he stared ahead in shock. Blinking rapidly.
Iida.
Why did she always run into Tenya Iida?? This was the second time she's bumped into the poor boy, this time she basically tackled him.
He looked different though. Nova stared for a few extra seconds trying to put her finger on it... It wasn't the bump on his forehead from where their heads hit...
"Iida your glasses!" Midoriya said, drawing Nova back into reality. She looked down by her knees.
His glasses. On the ground bent in an odd way.
He looked different because Nova had never seen him without the wire framed spectacles.
"I'm sorry!" Nova piped up again. Midoriya began to pull Iida up. His eyes were still wider and unfocused. Of course he couldn't see. Nova stood up, grabbing the glasses in her hand. Looking at the bent wire in desperation. "I can fix them-"
"Don't bother. I have more." Iida said through gritted teeth. Nova shrug back, he looked pretty mad. Or maybe embarrassed. His face was red and every part of him was stiff.
"I'm sorry Iida! The crowd-" Nova tried again.
"-Just!" He took a deep breath. Like he was calming himself down as he interrupted her. "Excuse me. I'm going to the nurse." Iida said. Without hesitation he turned and walked away. Midoriya's gaze lingered on her for a few moments. Stopping with a look of pity for Nova. Before he turned and followed behind Iida quickly.
Leaving Nova behind, still holding the pair of broken glasses in her hand.

Class representative.
It was no secret that Nova would never be voted class president. She didn't even raise her hand when everyone else was saying they wanted it.
In the end they decided to do a vote. It was Iida's idea.
Iida who seemed to try and look everywhere but at Nova. Who laid her chin on the table and wrapped her arms around her face. She felt miserable, as usual.
Papers were passed around, so they could write the name of whoever they thought should be class Representative. Nova glanced to the side. Iida was staring at his paper, a look of frustration on his face.
She bit her lip, he truly was the most logical option. He already acted like a class rep anyways, and clearly wanted it. Plus Nova felt like she owed him for his glasses earlier. Still tucked in her bag and slightly bent. She'd fix them later, put them in his desk or maybe try and slip them into his bag before the end of the school day.
For now she wrote out his name and turned in the paper. Waiting for the votes to be counted.

"One vote..." Iida said. He seemed a little disappointed but at the same time he looked around the classroom. As though trying to find out who had done it.
Nova of course had zero. Along with a few others who voted for someone else.
Momo had two and Midoriya had three.
Making them class representative and deputy. Although Momo seemed to be a better fit than Deku. Who was practically trembling standing infront of everyone else.
"WHO THE HELL VOTED FOR HIM?!" Bakugou yelled, looking around with a dark glare. Nova didn't understand the beef Bakugou had, with Midoriya specifically. The boy seemed to be very kind and sweet. Why did the angry one have such a problem?
He glared at Uraraka, who had no votes. Then surprisingly at Nova as well. Her lack of votes probably made it seem like she voted for Midoriya.
She looked away and he eventually moved on. What was the point in class representatives anyways?
Why did everyone want it so bad?

"Kurayami." Her teacher said as they started to make their way out of the classroom. Nova stopped and all the other students filed out.
"Uh... Yes sir?" She asked him, looking to the side as usual. Mr Aizawa had been asleep for pretty much the entire class. Only waking up to officially declare Midoriya and Momo as class representatives.
"As you know I watched the videos. You did good in training yesterday. Keep it up." He said. Nova glanced up at him. Was that... Praise? Was he telling her she did a good job? Teachers didn't often say stuff like that to Nova...
She looked back down. "...Thanks." she muttered. She remembered yesterday, how she had been... Proud of her match. Only to learn that he fighting like she had scared Jirou. Now she didn't even want to look at her, Mina and Uraraka seemed even more weary too. Like Jirou's fears were rubbing off on them.
"You know you're just as much my student as anyone else. Right?" Aizawa asked. Nova glanced up at him again.
"...yes sir?"
"If anything happens tell me and I'll handle it. I won't tolerate the mistreatment of any UA student. Do you understand?" He asked. His voice was stern but there was something in his eyes... A kindness... One that Nova must've missed before...
"Yes sir." Nova nodded.
Maybe... She did have a friend at UA.
