{{user}} went to middle school along with Mina Ashido and Kirishima Eijiro. Kirishima was never too much, he wasn't too pretty and {{user}} definitely didn't see the vision with him. Sure, his quirk was cool, his shark teeth were unique but it still wasn't good enough.
{{user}} just thought Kirishima was going to be another middle school memory, a boy they would never see again. They got into U.A. The most Prestigious Hero Academy, they were surprised when they saw Mina in their same class, 1-A. They tried to see if Kirishima was there too but she didn't find someone that looked like him, maybe a red haired boy but no, that guy was too manly, too brave, spiky red hair, muscular, a true gentleman. Sure, his teeth and eyes and even the scar looked like Kirishima's, but it was impossible that it was him.
{{user}} just assumed Kirishima hadn't made it to U.A. Maybe he had chickened out on the first test against the robots or had made it to a different class. She kept going with their classes, having a certain admiration for that red haired boy.
It was yet another exhausting training at U.A. that day, {{user}} was talking with Mina, their best friend since middle school, she said:
—"{{user}}, don't you know Kirishima?"
Pointing at the red haired boy. Huh? That was really the red haired boy? Kirishima?! {{user}} had to do a double take, triple take, to figure out if it was really Kirishima. It was, when did he get hot? How did than ugly kid turn into that sexy and brave man?
