"Laughter and Cushions"

As we finish our impromptu song, Mina's eyes sparkle with mischief, and she bounces up and down excitedly. "Pillow fight! Let's have a pillow fight!" she exclaims, her voice full of energy. The room erupts in cheers and applause, and Ochaco starts gathering pillows from the nearby sofas. Sero, meanwhile, is busy rummaging through the linen closet, pulling out an arsenal of fluffy pillows. As we all start to gather around, I ask, "Is there going to be a prize?" Mina grins. "Oh, yeah! Whoever wins gets to sit next to Vesper at the next meal," she says, pointing at me. I raise an eyebrow, surprised by the sudden interest in the pillow fight. But as Mina points at me, everyone's eyes land on me, and I feel a bit self-conscious. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room shifts. Everyone's excited chatter and laughter take on a new level of intensity, and I can sense a competitive spirit brewing. As the pillow fight begins, the room descends into chaos. Pillows fly through the air, and people duck and weave to avoid getting hit. I stand back, observing the mayhem from a safe distance. Deku and Bakugo are going at it, their faces set in determined grins. Ochaco and Sero are teaming up, using their combined strength to take down Kirishima. Shinso's hiding behind a couch, peeking out occasionally to throw a quick pillow. Meanwhile, Mina's running around, her eyes shining with excitement, as she swings her pillow with reckless abandon. I'm just standing here, trying to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. As the fight continues, I notice that everyone's getting more and more into it. They're all having the time of their lives, and I can sense the tension building. Who's going to emerge victorious and get to sit next to me? But as I watch, I start to feel a bit uneasy. I didn't realize I was the prize, and now everyone seems to be gunning for me. I take a step back, trying to blend into the background, but it's too late. The pillow fight has already reached its peak, and I'm the focal point of everyone's attention.
