"Take care honey" a woman said

"I'll be on my way mom" a girl replied

"Tsuyu-chan your wallet" a man said as he is running with a wallet full of coin as it is sound

"jeez, thanks dad" Tsuyu replied

Tsuyu: theyre always like this, always doting me even at public. its a little embarrasing. I'm already a year behind high school. but I'm still thinking what course im gonna take. I have a quirk that can mimic the abilities of a frog. Jumping really high, elongated tongue, and pretty commendable reflexes. this quirk is pretty common to our family and I dont think its that special. in school I always guise myself in an emotionless persona, I have friends here and there but I we dont get too attached. its just a little...boring

context: tsuyu has a dark green hair with a light skin. she shows an emotionless expression that most people recognised about her

"a mirror reflects light and using it we can see our reflection. that can also be compared to the water in the sea. but certain variables may affect it like the wave of the water can distort your reflection...." the teacher in a class is lecturing

it is quite a sunny day and the students in class along with Tsuyu is exhausted and sleepy

The teacher noticed but didnt seem to get angry. "these kids are hopeless" he said

it was in the canteen and Tusyu finds herself an empty spot to eat her lunch. she checks her notes and read quietly. She then begins to get a little sleepy

"this is probably because I spent 4 hours reading that book series ventrilouqist all night" she said to herself

"Hey mind if I take a seat" a girl with a light green hair sits in front of her and said

"g-go ahead" Tsuyu replied. "from what her looks of it, she seem a little sassy and a popular extrovert. she's smiling so happily that its too bright for me to even see her face" she thought to herself

"say you want to join a club I made msyelf. I know its a bit late but I think it would be fun" she said

"I'm a little busy at the moment" Tsuyu replied

"is that so" the girl said after getting a little sceptical

"this little" Tsuyu thought to herself after noticing doubt to her

the bell rangs and the class ended. the students are walking out the hall. Tsuyu walks her usual way home.

she stops at a convenience store.

"I have to buy late night snacks so I can pull an all nighter" she said

she was picking snacks and notices a man on a hood looks suspiciously gazing with his both hands on his pocket.

she went to the counter to alert the cashier.

"Uhm-" she said and stuttered after noticing the man behind with a big build as it shrouds it shadow behind her

the man breaths deeply and made a scary gaze at Tsuyu. he lend his hand to her shoulder

Tsuyu responded as she was about to counter and throw him out

From the outside of the store the windows broke out and someone was sent flying to the wall next street as dust explodes

"to think some kid anticipated my movements" the hood man said after walking outside the store through the window

the dust clears and Tsuyu cant move properly after hitting herself in a wall

"his strength is too overwhelming. is it his quirk?" Tsuyu said

"you may not notice it but my quirk triggers if I feel fear, my senses gets agitated and exponentially increase my strength" the man said as chokes and carried Tsuyu with ease

"I cant breathe" said as she struggle escaping

Tsuyu sticks out her tongue that appears to attack the hood guy

the guys slaps it back and said, "its useless"

Tsuyu heard running footsteps and saw the green haired girl appear to launch a high jump kick to the guy

the man was thrown back and appears to lose senses

"so if you dont feel fear your quirk cannot activate" she said

"how did you do that?" the man asked

"well I waited for you to breathe deeply. that way I can tell that you lower your guard thus erasing your fear" she replied

"its true. after that man ever so lightly loosen his grip. she attacked at the exact moment" Tsuyu said

"lets run away before he gets up" she said and holds Tsuyu hands to run

after they distanced themselves considerably

they stopped to catch their breathe

"that was intense. Are you alright?" she said

"Im fine just a little scratch" Tsuyu replied to erase her worries

"I suppose I should thank her for saving me" tsuyu thought to herself but never said it

"I should be going" Tsuyu said

"well, take care" she replied

Tsuyu is walking back home and notice the girl trailing her

"I should lost her. shes a bit creepy if she keeps following me like this. is it because I never thanked her before?" Tsuyu thought to herself

Tsuyu stopped at a book store and entered. The girl noticed and follows her inside

Tsuyu is reading a book and she noticed the girl sneaking

"we meet again..." Tsuyu said

"haha I guess" she replied awkwardly after being caught.

she notices Tsuyu reading a medical book

"do you want to be a doctor when you grow up?" she asked

"not exactly" Tsuyu replied

"do you have some sort of a role model?" she asked again

Tsuyu thinks for a second and said "well dr. Jean Martin-Charcot is an amazing-"

"well how about we buy ice cream outside my treat" she interrupts

after eating ice cream they both walk

"its getting dark, shall you get going to?" Tsuyu asked to ward her off

"my home is the same direction as yours anyway" she replied

"is that so" Tsuyu said

"does she know where I live?" Tsuyu thought to herself

"well I'll be going" she said to Tsuyu and leave while theyre infront of Tsuyu's house

after having dinner Tsuyu went to her room and studied.

"I dont have any snacks for later. I have to study for a long test tomorrow" Tsuyu said

"okay class answer the questions carefully and honestly. if I caught someone cheating I'll fail you immediately" the teacher said

everyone in class is quietly answering the questions while Tsuyu is fighting from her drowsiness

"I had to focus. I cant fail this exam. my parents expectation from me will shatter. the image of an independent girl in class that I have spent years on maintaining will disappear just because I havent slept well last night. why do I have to be sleepy now? I'm sure I took a coffee before going to school. even though my mom scolded me when she found out. she said I was too young for it" she thought to herself

Tsuyu bites her tongue as a way to supress her sleepiness and said, "im not done yet"

the clock's tick is reverbing to Tsuyu's head as she tries to focus

"ding-ding"

"thats it pencils up pass me your answer sheets and proceed outside" the teacher said

the students are walking out while Tsuyu is looking exhausted

"good thing I made it in the nick of time. the wound in my tongue was a fair trade off i guess" Tsuyu said

she walked by a post board and thought, "a club huh"

"I guess the book club is great" Tsuyu said

"right, but I think musical club is better!" the green hair girl said as she sneak behind Tsuyu

Tsuyu swayed a little and said, "I guess thats good too"

"its the one I like you to join. how about it, wanna come by?" she asked

"I'll think about it" Tsuyu replied

Tsuyu is walking home and thought, "she seems like a good person. I could consider her as a friend"

Tsuyu then felt someone was following her and thought, "she's here again"

Tsuyu looked back and said, "hey why won't you come ou-"

the hood man from the convenience store is back more sinister than before.

"oh my, I feel scary now that I look closely to your unbothered face" the man said with a grin

"is this the girl that kicked your ass? she looks weak" a thug behind Tsuyu said

tsuyu became eeringly silent

"hey speak up. your not making this fun" the thug teased

in a spur of the moment of a second Tsuyu connects a body blow to the thug's stomach and he appears to faint

"good thing my quirk is useful in this kind of situation" Tsuyu said

"oh nice follow up right there" Tsuyu said as she looks back and saw the hood man taken out by the green hair girl

"not again" the hood man said as he lost consciousness

the both of them walks out the scene together

"hey I wanna thank you for saving me twice. I would be in serious trouble if you werent around" Tsuyu said

"dont bother, I feel great helping a friend out" she said

"... uhmm can I ask your name atleast" Tsuyu asked

"hmm is this a signal for friendship?" she asked with a smile

"its not like that, I just want to address you properly thats all" Tsuyu shyly replied

"well in that case....nice to meet you, my name is Asui"
