Another Chance (My Hero Academia)

Chapter 45

*Riki's POV*

I sat upside down in a chair, waiting for someone from my class to walk through the door.

"Riki what are you doing?" A familiar voice asked before Shoto's face came into view.

I gasped, "Shoto! You're here! Finally! I was the first one here and I felt as if I was going to DIE because it took everyone so long and I had no one to talk to!" I rambled loudly.

He stared down at me before cracking a soft smile and chuckling.

"Oh my god you're laughing! I finally cracked you!" I squealed while cupping his cheeks even if I was upside down.

"Your face is all red" he smiled.

"Well yeah, I've been like this for who knows how long."

He shook his head, "Come on, let the blood flow to the rest of your body." He said while helping me up.

"Ah thanks, that feels a lot better. So! How are our stupid classmates doing?" I asked.

"I'm not sure. I went off on my own. I did see Midoriya and the rest of the class get hounded like you said. Obviously, Bakugo went off on his own with Kirishima and Kaminari."

"I'm not surprised."

"Uh, thanks for sticking up for me when Inasa said all those things."

I furrowed my brows, "Who?"

"Inasa. The loud guy that yelled 'Plus Ultra' before he compared me to my father."

My jaw dropped, "HIM! Oh yeah you're welcome. I wasn't gonna let him talk about you that way! I really wish I could fight him but we're here for the exact opposite."

"You don't need to do that."

"But I want to! He compared you to Endeavor. YOU to ENDEAVOR! That's just- I- who?! Why?! You aren't even close to him. I don't understand giant dude. Like how does he see Endeavor," I grabbed his face and squished his cheeks together, "in this?! It's not possible!" I exclaimed, seeing his cheeks dust over in pink.

"Thanks" Shoto murmured after I let his face go.

"You're welcome. Anything for my friend and twin!" I said, "I want food."

"OH HEY GUYS!!" I practically yelled, waving my arm through the air when I saw Momo, Jiro, Tsu, Shoji, Denki, Kirishima, and Bakugo all walk through the room.

"Hey Riki, hey Todoroki!" Kirishima greeted as they came up to us.

"When did you two get here?" Shoji asked

"I was the first one here, then after five hours I finally saw Shoto." I huffed dramatically.

"It wasn't five hours." Shoto said from the side.

"They don't know that!" I said weirdly and put my hand over his face.

"You were first?" Denki asked while I took my hand off Shoto's face.

"Yeah, it was really boring without people I knew around me."

"You could've talked to other people." Jiro said

I snorted, "Oh honey you're delirious, that's not a real thing!"

"How many spots are left?" Momo asked as Tsu woke up from whatever happened.

"Uh, twelve I think." I said while looking up at the TV.

It felt like forever, but we finally finished the first half of the exam, everyone from my class passing. Iida and Aoyama were the last two to get in, three spots being left. It about gave us all heart attacks but we managed to slap them so we're good.
