'Guess teachers need to cool off too,' Gale thought to himself. 'Well, with the outstanding bunch we have I can't really blame him.'

By the time Gale gathered his things, Alexa was already out of the door. Her head was down in her books as if she was trying to hide something. Gale followed her out the room trying to keep pace with her.

"Alexa," he called out. "Wait up!"

Alexa was wrapped in her thoughts. No one could know what she had just received. She knew she already messed up with the big guy. He probably thought she was weird already.

"Oh my goodness he was massive. He looked like a mountain,which could have been scary. His face... so so-!" Her face was really hot now. 

Alexa's surroundings were a blur, yet she was on autopilot and somehow not crashing into people. 

"Alexa!" Gale called out again. 

And again he was not heard. Gale let out an exasperated sigh. 

'I wonder what she's got.' Gale thought. He looked at his surroundings. There was a shadow underneath the water fountain. 

"Well. This is gonna suck but here we go."

He walked towards the fountain and, using his Quirk, dipped into its shadow. He moved underneath the floor finding Alexa's shadow casted in front of her. He popped up from her shadow.

"Ale-."

Unaware of what was happening around her. Alexa continued to think about two things. The hentai mag she had just acquired and the dreamy giant outside of class. Her hearing was essentially shut down at the moment.

"I need food to not think about-" Were the only words that came out of her mouth before something obstructed her view. 

It didn't register in her mind that teenage boy manifested in front of her. Also, the words weren't clearly heard from him until the next crucial moment. Two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time. It was something she heard in a movie once. It never made sense to her until now. The collision followed next. 

"Whoa!"

Slam!

A resounding 'Ohhh' could be heard throughout the hall when the two collided.

Alexa's forehead slammed Gale in the center of his chest. The impact knocked the wind from his lungs. He stumbled backwards. He doubled over wrapping in arms around his stomach and tried to catch his breath. 

'How hard is this girl's head?' Gale wondered.

When his breath returned to him, he slowly stood up straight. 

"You... alright...?"

An intense pain surged through her forehead as the collision came to a close. Instinctively, she pulled her hands up to rub her forehead. Her fingers brushed her bangs out of the way to ease the spot. After a minute, she opened her eyes and saw who she slammed into.

"O-oh! I'm so sorry Gale!" She winced and her voice wasn't as loud as it usually would've been. "I'll..be fine. Are you ok?"

She felt really bad about hitting him so hard.

"I'll live." He replied rubbing his chest. 

He took a deep breath and stretched regaining a sliver of his composure.

"You rushed out of the room. I just wanted to make sure you were ok?"

Nodded nervously as she fixed her specs. They definitely were off center from the crash. She stopped and sighed when she watched him rub his chest.

"I'm really sorry..."Alexa then tried to get him to laugh."If you had to deal with my brother all day, you'd be hardheaded too."

She flashed her Cheshire grin at her old friend up in his face. His question made her pull back slowly.

"Oh.. I'm fine. Nothing you need to worry about." Her thought clock ticked to find a viable subject change."First day jitters! Anyway, let's get lunch."

Alexa snaked her arm around his and started toward the cafeteria.

Gale let himself get swept up by Alexa. Hunger won over curiosity. And first day jitters were a logical point. Given the events of the class, some nerves were understandable. 

"I didn't know you were thinking about getting into U.A. It's awesome you're here. And we're both in the same class."

"I'm so happy that I know someone in class! I posted it up all over Quirky. I thought you would've saw it, but maybe you missed it."

 Alexa reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out her phone. She showed him the really corny picture of her holding acceptance letter surrounded by her family. Her cousin had taken the picture for them. 

" I'm sure your big brother would've been proud." She said quietly for moment. It totally slipped her mind that he might get sad by that. "Wanna get fried chicken onigiri like old times?!"

He laughed at her picture. Alexa always had a goofy smile. Her dad seemed happier than she did that she got accepted. The comment about his brother admittedly made him happy. 

His brother, Bruce, was a pro hero that graduated from U.A. He was killed in action rescuing civilians from a collapsing during a villain's attack. Ever since then, Gale wanted to be a hero and follow in his brother's footsteps.

His mind returned back to his growling stomach.
"You know me so well."
