Chapter 4: Chapter 4
--Mari POV--
School is so boring! It's only been a couple weeks and I already wanna tap out! Bakugo and Midoriya are the only reason I can stand it here in the first place, the other guys here are.. weird. The girls are too delicate. How I miss the days on the playground, beating up bullies. "*sigh* Guess everything has to come to an end eventually." I whispered to myself.
*RINGGGGGG*
"Lunch time! Finally! Let's go you two!" I turned around to grab the hands of Bakugo and Freckles, only to find the latter missing. "Oi Bakago, where's Freckles?" I asked the blonde. He shrugged his shoulders. "Hell if I know. I ain't a babysitter. Probably taking a piss though." He scoffed. I let out an agitated sigh before grabbing his wrist. "Th-the hell are you doing?!" He shouted. I was used to his aggressive attitude by now. "To find Freckles. YOU'LL search the bathrooms, I got the halls."
"I-" Before he could retort, I grabbed his collar and pulled him close. "Bakugo. If Midoriya is in trouble, and you are refusing to help me, I'll make this the worst school year of your life." I whispered. I could see the sweat starting to drip from his face as he gave a quick nod. My mood immediately went back up. "Good! Thanks Bakago~!" I replied as I let him go and shot off down the hallway.
I may be new to this school thing, but I'm not dumb. There were social ladders in place, and while I have no idea where I fit on that ladder, I know who is dead-last.
Freckles.
Not only was he looked down on and bullied due to his lack of a quirk, but he was also used because of his good grades. I couldn't help but grit my teeth in annoyance, but a smile still couldn't help but stretch across my face.
Using and bullying people? sounds like Villains to me, and I could use a couple of good fights!
--10 Minutes Later--
That is when I find the bastards! I've been running around this giant school like a lunatic looking for Freckles! He owes me so much Ice Cream for this. "I-I'm sorry!" A voice shouted. Loud apology? If there's one thing I know about Midoriya, he's always apologizing, even when he's not in the wrong. I ran around the corner to find a vacant hallway and Midoriya surrounded by upperclassmen.
"Sorry ain't gonna cut it. You're dragging the entire school's rep down by your presence alone! Why don't you do us all a favor AND-!"
--3rd POV--
The boy was cut off by a heel slamming into his cheek. The kick sent him skidding face first along the floor, unconscious. The boys around Midoriya jumped back in surprise, even Midoriya jumped a bit too. "You bastards group up and pick on a lowerclassmen? Maybe YOU'RE the ones dragging the school down!" Mari shouted.
Midoriya looked up to see Mari, a vein bursting from her head and a wide, almost malicious smile on her face. "Don't worry though. You're never too old for a good old-fashioned ass kicking." Mari said as she started to stretch. "Now who's first? Lunch's gonna end soon and I haven't eaten yet, so let's do this fast!" Mari shouted. The boys were hesitant, seeing her intimidating build and scars. Mari raised an eyebrow. "What's the problem? Can't decide who's going first?" Mari teased. "I guess I'll just..." Mari started before disappearing from sight. "W-where- UGH!" One of the upperclassmen started before he and the one next to him felt a fist buried in their stomachs (Black Freiza style lol). "..pick for you." Mari said quietly.
After they fell, Mari gave a quick left hook to another random upperclassmens jaw, instantly knocking him out. "2 more~" Mari couldn't help but tease the boys. She gave a double roundhouse kick to one, and finished him with a 360 Crescent kick.
"Mari wins! Flawless Victory!" She shouted. Her head shot toward the last Upperclassmen standing, making him jump. "Take your friend to the infirmary. And tell them not to mess with Freckles again, or I'd be happy to give them another trip there." She said with a neutral expression. He could only shake his head rapidly. He grabbed a couple of his friends by the ankle, but before he could drag them off, Mari stopped him. "Oh! One more thing. I'm new to this whole 'school thing', so I don't wanna get kicked out yet. So if I find out one of you ratted me out, ALL of you might find yourselves in the ER." She said with a small smile. He gave another frightened nod before dragging his friends away.
"Oi Freckles, you ok?" She turned to see tears leaking from his eyes like a broken faucet. "Man up Freckles! You don't gotta cry about everything!" Mari shouted. "I'm sorry!" He shouted, trying to rub the tears, but they couldn't stop coming. "I-I'm just happy to h-have a friend l-like you, Mari!" He shouted.
Mari's eyes widened a bit in surprise, before her cheeks grew a light shade of pink. "Ahem! If you say so Freckles.." She said with a smile, pulling him into a hug. After a good 30 seconds of embrace, Mari pulled back slowly. "C'mon man, pull yourself together, we've got 15 minutes of lunch left!" She shouted as she grabbed one of his hands and started running for the cafeteria. "H-hold on a sec!" Midoriya shouted, but his voice fell on deaf ears.
--Cafeteria--
Bakugo had finished his search, and sat with a few of his lacke- *ahem* friends, eating lunch. He couldn't care less about where Midoriya was, or what he was doing, but he knew that Mari was protective of him. Bakugo couldn't shake the small feeling of annoyance he felt. "No. I couldn't care less." Bakugo shook his head. "Bam!" Mari shouted as she slammed a small tub of ice cream down in front of him, making him jump a bit.
"Did I scare ya Bakago?" Mari teased as a smile spread across her face, enraging the easily irritated blonde. "Scare me?! In your dreams Gorilla!" Mari couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. "Kidding kidding! Nothing scares big bad Bakago!" She mused. "Tch, whatever. What the hells this?" He asked as he picked up the tub. "Think of it as a thank you for helping me out with Freckles(well, trying to)! I keep a lot in the school fridge since they're my favorite! Enjoy~!" Mari booped his nose before walking off, Midoriya following close behind.
Bakugo's face went a light pink before he began to eat the ice cream. "Dumbass.."
