Good day everyone, seiji here back once again with yet another fanfic story. this time it's my 2nd my hero academia story (still working on the first one, though that one was more of an OC story). well hope you enjoy~

It was another bright sunny day at UA academy, the best and most prestigious hero school in japan. All appeared to be well and good, and considering the fact that just a couple days prior the academy was under attack as a band of villains invaded the schools' USJ facility in an effort to kill All Might, the return to normalcy was a welcome site. Class was in session for the students of class 1-A and one Izuku Midoriya, as usual, seemed to be deep in thought as homeroom teacher Aizawa stood in front of the class to give them their next assignment.

"ok everyone, pay attention. UA academy will be having their annual sports festival within another 2 weeks or so. it's gonna be a big opportunity for you all to showcase your ability and skill as heroes, as well as represent your school in front of the nation. But, that's in two weeks. here's your assignment for today.." Aizawa says in his usual mellow voice as he slowly turns to the blackboard behind him. he then picks up a piece of chalk and writes something on said blackboard, then after he finishes turns back to the class and underlines what he wrote on the board.
"I want you all to write a 2 page essay on what you believe it means to be a hero. I expect them to be turned in by the end of homeroom period tomorrow, understood?"

The class collectively groans after hearing Aizawa's assignment.

"what?! we have to write a 2 page essay by tomorrow? are you kidding me?!" says Eijiro

"no, I'm not..." says Aizawa bluntly

"awww man, this blows!" groans Eijiro

"tell me about it. I'm terrible at writing these!" says Mina pressing her hands against the sides of her head

"stop complaining and get to it. I'll allow you the remainer of this period to get started, then finish the rest once you go home. they'll all be due tomorrow at the start of homeroom. that is all" says Aizawa as he then zips up a sleeping bag around him and lays on the floor

"geez, I hate essay writing" says Minoru

"tch..." scoffs Bakugo

"now now, everyone. let us focus our energy on our assignment. no groaning or complaining, we are the hero course after all. we must remain sharp, both physically AND mentally" Iida proclaims while clapping to get everyone in the rooms' attention

Some of the others students groan a bit more but eventually they reluctantly begin the classes' given assignment and the class soon becomes quiet as everyone focuses on their writing.

"hmm... what it means to be a hero.. where do I start..?" Izuku thought to himself

Time passed and soon the school bell rang indicating the end of homeroom, as nearly everyone in class let out a collective sigh of relief.

"ok, class dismissed..." says Aizawa still laying on the floor in a sleeping bag

Everyone in class stands and slowly starts filing their way out to their next period, everyone except Izuki who remains seated with pencil in hand and a full paragraph written on his paper, still deep in thought.

"I wonder, should I have written this part first, or perhaps I should've waited till near the end of the essay to put that? oh wait, I forgot to put this part, and that part and this, and this..." Izuku mutters to himself

"uh oh, looks like Midoriya's at it again" says Denki

Some of the other students chuckle a little at the sight of him, then Ochako walks over to Izuku's desk.

"hey deku~" she says smiling down at him

Hearing her, Izuku quickly snaps out of his trance and looks up at Ochako, with almost a look of shock.

"ah! oh, uh, h-hey Ochako!" says Izuku

"hee hee, wow deku. you were really deep in thought there huh?" says Ochako

"oh, er, yeah. kinda..." says Izuku, looking away a bit embarrassed

"you're really giving that assignment some thought, aren't you? you know, you look kinda cute when you get all focused all that~" says Ochako

"oh really? heh heh heh..." says Izuku before he realizes what she just said to him

"wait! did she just say that I look cute?!" Izuku thought to himself as his face turns a bright red
"no... no, I must have just misheard her. calm down Izuku, calm down! there's no way a girl like her would ever like you! not in that way anyway."

"say deku, would you like to have lunch with me later?" says Ochako

"huh? lunch? with you?" says Izuku looking up at her

"mm-hmm~ I'd like for you to sit next to me during lunch today, that is if that's ok with you" says Ochako holding both hands behind her back

"oh, yeah sure. I'd love to~" nods Izuku

"great! don't forget, ok? or I'll come find you and punish you~" says Ochako playfully

"p-punish me?" thought Izuku as his mind races trying to wonder what she meant

"well, see you then~ bye deku~" says Ochako briefing winking at Izuku before turning and walking out the classroom as Izuku sat there looking completely dumbfounded

"did she just... wink at me?" thought Izuki

"whoa, hey Midoriya! since when did you and Uraraka get so close, huh?!" says Minoru shaking Izuku

"if I didn't know any better, I'd think they were a couple." says Tsuyu

"a... couple? us?... n-n-no, no way. we're... just friends and all." says Izuku laughing nervously while still blushing

"ooooooh?" says Minoru, Denki, and Eijiro simultaneously

"yes! now if you'll excuse me!" says Izuku as he quickly darts out the classroom

A bit later Izuku is seen quickly walking down a hallway still in deep thought

"no, I will not have impure thoughts about Ochako! I will not have impure thoughts about Ochako! I will not have impure thoughts about Ochako! I will not have impure thoughts about Ochako!"
