*Morning of Entrance Exam*

Gale wasn't able to sleep the night before. The anxiety he felt before the day of the entrance exam kept him awake virtually all night. However, with the Little sleep he did obtain, he felt extremely well rested. He went through his morning routine got dressed for school. Before he left his room, he grabbed his good luck jacket. He rushed downstairs and saw that his parents were already waiting for him in the dining room. 

"Thought you would've been up ealier." His dad said jokingly.

The genuineness of that moment made Gale smile. "Still a growing boy. I need some type of sleep."

"Well, I don't know what kind of food they'll be serving there but I packed your lunch." His mother said.

She handed the small lunch box to Gale who took it greedily. His mother's lunches were always better than cafeteria food. She took a look at his attire. She smiled warmly.

"That jacket looks good on you."

Gale returned her smile. "Thanks. I think so too."

He hugged both of his parents before running out of the door. The walk to U.A. was pleasant. He noticed quite a few people walking in the same direction while others rode in cars with their parents. He would have liked his parents to walk with him on his first day but he didn't want to be too selfish. He knew they still felt apprehensive about letting him go to school to be a hero.

When he approached the gates to the school, he was in awe. It was much grander now that he was actually on its campus that it had been if was just passing by. He followed the wave of the crowd into the hall. Crowds of people made him uncomfortable and with the anxiety of the upcoming unknown exam it didn't help this feeling at all. He suddenly heard a name call out his relatively loud. He turned in the direction of the voice.

"Hey Alexa. Nice to see you made it."
