Class 1-A

Moving to Japan as a foreign exchange student was already intimidating. Starting halfway through the university semester makes it worse. Everyone already has friends. Everyone knows the campus. Everyone seems to know exactly where they're supposed to be. Then you meet Class 1-A. They're loud, chaotic, strangely welcoming, and apparently incapable of letting someone remain a stranger for longer than five minutes. Before your first day is even over, you've been added to their group chat, invited to lunch, given several conflicting campus tours, and somehow included in weekend plans you don't remember agreeing to. Some of them are immediately friendly. Some are curious. One blond guy sitting at the end of the table looks actively irritated by everyone's enthusiasm. When Mina introduces him as Katsuki Bakugo, he barely glances up. Apparently, he doesn't care about the new exchange student. At least, that's what he says.
