If you really pay attention...
Sometimes you can see it.

Chapter 1
A slight buzzing sound reached my ears, disrupting what had been probably my first night of good sleep in at least five days.
What day was it again?
I g_r_o_a_n_e_d, swearing silently beneath my breath as I reached blindly in the dark, trying in vain to find the infernal contraption that had roused me from my slumber.
After several fruitless attempts, my hand latched around the noise making object and I dragged it before me, swiping my phone across the answer button.
”You better be dead or dying.” I mumbled into the phone, sleep still refusing to release me from it's grasp.
There was silence on the other end.
Then a deep inhalation.
”GOOD MOOOOOOORNING SUNSHIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” A boisterous voice blasted from the phone like a physical force.
I found myself no longer asleep in the slightest. I also found myself out of bed as the wave of sound that had blasted me off of it.
I staggered to my feet from the wall that I had been thrown into, ears ringing, feeling like I had just been dropped into a mosh pit at a Metal Concert halfway through their main set.
My bed was in shambles, my outfit having been removed haphazardly after returning from my emergency call out.
My desk and my bookshelves were mercifully still intact, the heavy texts having not been disturbed by my literal wake up call, or my semi-conscious staggering.
That being said, there was no way I was going to be able to wear it today.
The stains on the clothes were long since soaked in, and knowing my luck it was far too long for me to have done anything to it except send it off to be professionally cleaned.
”Yo Yo Kaito!” Yamada Hizashi half shouted as he walked into the room, a broad grin on his face and finger guns at the ready. ”Are you ready for the big day?”
I stared incomprehensibly at the loud blond peac_o_c_k for a moment, once more swearing my eternal and undying enmity with the eldritch abominations known as morning people, as the hamster wheel slowly began picking up momentum in my head.
That and the context clues given by Mic were a pretty big hint.
”That's today?” I g_r_o_a_n_e_d, turning my head to the calendar I'd had pinned to the wall only to find it no longer there, but collapsed on the floor with my signature white hat having obscured it.
I picked it up and found that reality had once again sided against me by revealing that today was indeed the day.
I rushed into my bathroom as Hizashi laughed at my no doubt panic stricken face, splashing water onto my face in lieu of a shower and sliding to a stop in front of my wardrobe, and attempting to pull on a suit that hadn't left it in well over a year at this point.
”Kaito, my man, how is it that you manage to be late to literally everything?” Hizashi drawled behind me, and even though I couldn't see it I could certainly hear the smug grin on his face. ”I thought magicians were supposed to be good with timing?”
I stormed past him, repressing my urge to strangle the mouthy prick by instead nearly strangling myself as I pulled my tie too tight, opening the door.
”First of all, that joke wasn't funny the first time you said it to me, it certainly hasn't got any better now.” I replied doing up my belt as I made my way down the stairs as fast as I could in suit pants with ripping them and having to stop halfway because I hadn't pulled a boot on firmly enough. ”And secondly, a wizard…”
”Is never early or late, but arrives precisely when intended, blah blah blah.” Hizashi droned back at me, having passed my stumbling form to take a seat on his…
”Hizashi.”
”Yes Kaito?” The man in question responded chirpily, looking for all the world as innocent as a babe to those who didn't know better.
”What the hell is that?”
”That is your chariot to destiny!” Hizashi replied without flinching, hand gestures galore as always.
It would have been a tight fit for a regular sized person.
To fit my lanky form inside of it was going to be many things.
Pretty was none of them.
”When I asked if you could give me a lift while my car gets repaired, I was imagining, you know, an actual car.” I said wearily accepting my fate as I began the awkward process of trying to fit my six foot four frame into this parody of a seat.
”And now you know differently.” The Radio Hero said brightly having somehow smoothed his monstrosity of a hair cut into his canary yellow helmet. He went to start the bike before he snapped his fingers and pulled out a helmet from where it had no doubt been hidden on the side of the car, before throwing it towards me.
I stared down at the bright pink abomination in front of me, complete with cat ears and sparkly glitter plastered liberally across it and turned mechanically back to face my only possible means of making it to UA on time.
I found a smile entirely devoid of any form of mercy waiting for me. ”Safety First!” He quoted, making a unfortunately familiar pose that no doubt had my cheeks burning a bright red until they were hidden beneath the blasted helmet.
So this is how my story at UA begins then, huh?
Alright then world what next?
I sat there, in my best (only) suit watching the rain poured down and smiled.
Jokes on you world.
Now I don't need to have a shower.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
By the time I'd stumbled UA I found myself nearly stumbling over a green haired little sprout of a kid when I rounded a corner too fast but managed to bring myself to a stop with time to spare.
Okay I may have cheated slightly but I hadn't knocked the kid over and that was all that mattered.
”You all right there kid?” I asked, drawing a blank on the kids name.
I mean I hadn't had him for any of my classes so I didn't feel too bad about it.
