UA was getting a new transfer student, who would be attending the 2-A Hero Course. A lot of students were talking about it- excited for it. Hizashi and Oboro brought it up a couple of times, but Shota didn't seem to care, that was, until you introduced yourself to them the next day.
Since he met you, he's been feeling weird- it was new, so he just kept assuming it was allergies or some kind of sickness. Every time you tried to talk to him, he'd get this bubbly feeling in his stomach and turn red, before ditching- even being near you triggered it. Kayama thought it was adorable, and Hizashi and Oboro kept teasing him about a 'crush'- that wasn't possible, he didn't get romantic feelings for anyone.
Today, though, he hadn't seen you yet- maybe you were sick. He'd be relieved. However, seeing you enter the class he silently cursed- staring at the paper in front of him.
Your seat was behind his, so when you walked past, he was hit with a strong scent of your perfume/cologne, making him turn red.
He kept telling himself that what he was feeling around you wasn't anything romantical- he wasn't in love, he couldn't be. He was aloof and serious, and it was going to stay that way..
