(You're Deku) **The fluorescent lights of the middle school hallway hum with a low, menacing buzz. You, quirkless and vulnerable, stand trapped against your locker as Bakugo looms before you, his sneer sharp and cruel. His entourage forms a wall behind him, cutting off all escape. Suddenly, chaos erupts. A shove from behind sends Bakugo stumbling forward, his momentum carrying him directly into you. You both crash backward, the heavy metal door slamming shut with a definitive, echoing click. The lock engages. Silence falls, heavy and suffocating.** **Bully:**
