(Kaminari's POV)

OH. GOD.

Realization hit me like a pile of bricks. I have a crush on Jirou Kyouka. That was why I felt weird every time I'm around her, like my heart starts beating like crazy and I have this strange urge to touch her. Not pervertedly!! Did you think I'm that low?

Panic and anxiety filled my chest. What if this crush ruins our friendship? For all I know, Jirou may not may not feel the same way and we might never get back to being best friends, because it's my fault. What do I do?

I stared at her. Maybe I should hide my feelings for now and try to get over her. I can't lose her.

Still having a mental breakdown, I subconsciously continued to stare at Jirou. Unfortunately, Mr Aizawa noticed this.

"Kaminari," he drawled. Taken by surprise, I jumped a little in my chair. "You are aware that the words are written on the blackboard and not on Jirou's face, right?"

Mina squealed with glee.

"Kaminari, that's sooo manly," guffawed Kirishima.

Hagakure and Uraraka cheered.

Sero was laughing his head off.

Bakugou was screaming, "SHUT THE F**K UP, EXTRAS!!"

Midoriya was having a mental breakdown of his own, probably scared he and his notes would get burned by Bakugou's explosions.

Mineta was giving me thumbs up.

Iida and Yaoyorozu were trying to get the class back in order.

Todoroki was...actually he wasn't doing anything. He's sitting quietly, watching the chaos.

Jirou was hiding her face, no doubt, embarrassed.

And me, I was for certain, embarrassed.No, scratch that. Extremely humiliated. It was even worse than how I felt back at Recovery Girl's office. This, was definitely #1 on my list of most embarrassing moments. I wanted the ceiling to fall on my head, maybe even a villain attack. Anything will do, as long as it gets the attention off me and Jirou.

"Get back to your seats and be quiet or you'll be getting suspended," Mr Aizawa said, activating his quirk, his hair floating and his eyes red and unblinking. Damn, he was being harsh as usual.

"Anyway," he continues. "I'm giving you all a project and again you will be paired up. You have to come up with quirk strategies that work best for your quirks, your weaknesses and how to overcome them, and how you'll be able to defeat your partner using your quirk. It's due next week, no complaints."

Partners:

- Kirishima and Mina

- Iida and Yaoyorozu

-Sero and Koda

-Sato and Uraraka

-Midoriya and Hagakure

-Aoyama and Asui

-Todoroki and Shoji

-Ojiro and Bakugou

-Mineta and Tokoyami

-Me and Jirou

"Class dismissed. Wait for the next teacher to be in class," Mr Aizawasaid, zipping up his sleeping bag.

Kirishima and Mina were thrilled they were partners, they both have a crush on each other but they are both oblivious to the other's feelings.

Bakugou was pissed he wasn't paired up with Uraraka. "If that Diabetes Guy touches her, I swear I'll KILL him!"

Uraraka was trying to calm down her boyfriend.

Mineta was complaining that he wasn't paired up with any of the girls because he wanted to *censored, because this is kept PG for innocent children like Uraraka, Todoroki and probably Midoriya*, and was then taped up by Sero.

Jirou's my partner. This is going to be one awkward project.

(At Heights Alliance dorms after school)

(Jirou's POV)

I was lying on my back, extremely exhausted . What was going on in class just now? The heck was Kaminari staring at me for? Isn't he into girls with pretty skin, flow hair, perfect physique, just anything that screams "hot 'n' spicy"? Well anything that doesn't involve Bakugou and his spicy food.

I decided to work on my song to distract me, but I was interrupted by a notification on my phone.

"Who's texting me now?" I grumbled. My eyes widened and any anger or humiliation I felt vanished.

Kaminari: Hey...I'm srry art earlier, ur probably embarrassed n don't want to c my face again.

He was apologizing for earlier...that's sweet of him.

Jirou:It's ok, I forgive u. N don't say that. I still like hanging out w/ u. Ur probably daydreaming n stared at a random place. Everyone does that.

Kaminari: Jirou...UR THE BEST

Jirou: No I'm not, quit saying that.

Kaminari: Fineee, ur not the best. Ur the best to me, just me

Was he...flirting with me? I blushed the color of Kirishima's hair. I'm not used to this. He never flirted with me before. I guess it's his way of cheering me up?

Jirou: Hey, we should work on our project soon

Kaminari: R u changing the subject? >:(

Jirou: Yes. But the project is more important

Kaminari: I guess ur rite. When do u wanna work on it?

Jirou: Hmm, u free now?

Kaminari: Yea

Jirou: We can work on it now then. Who's dorm?

Kaminari: Mine, I hv most of the things we need

Jirou: Sure, I'm coming there now.

I'm happy that we are still on good terms. A life without him wouldn't be the same, I'll be bored without everyday.

I gather things we may need and some other stuff and head to his dorm.

(Kaminari's POV)

I stared at my phone and grinned like an idiot . Relief washed over me the moment she had replied to my first message. She doesn't hate me!

Someone's knocking on the door. I opened the door.

"Yo."

"Hey, Ji-," I paused when I saw her guitar strapped to her back, side by side with her backpack. I pointed at it. "Let me carry that for you."

"Thanks, but I've got it," Jirou replied.

"Okay, then," I took her backpack off her shoulder anyway. "At least let me take this in for you."

"Thanks."

"Why'd you bring your guitar anyways?" I asked placing her bag next to my bed.

"Well I thought we could work on my song together if we have time." She sat down and started to take things out of her bag.

I set up and took a seat next to her.

"So, what were we supposed to work on again?"

Jirou facepalmed and explained to me what we were supposed to do.
