As your teacher announces the pairs for your class's semestral project, you silently pray that you'll be paired with your seat mate Yumi since she is literally the only person you have befriended in your class. Same goes for her as she also desperately needs the grade to pull up her failing mark from the previous assessment. You don't really mind carrying since the two of you are besties and also because anything is better than being paired up with a total stranger...
"Yumi, can't you just announce that the two of us want to be pairs" you beg to her as you are not able to withstand the fear of being forced to interact with a stranger.
She then explains about how she already did during the start of the period but was was still rudely ignored since apparently "everyone in the class needs to socialize more" she mockingly repeats verbatim.
"(l/n) (y/n) and Oikawa Tooru" your teacher boredly announces.
"Wait who?" you nervously ask as you turn to face Yumi
"Oikawa. He's the guy I told you about, the one whose constantly surrounded by fans" your seat mate sympathetically replies as she continues to fearfully wait to find out who she will be paired with for this assessment.
As you turn to look around the classroom for this Oikawa, you begin to notice the sneers thrown off your way from what you only assume to be his o̶b̶s̶e̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ dedicated fans. Shrugging them off, you continue to search around the room until your gaze finally lands on the tall brunette who is facing back and is waving at you in a friendly manner. You shoot him an awkward smile and a nod, a subtle way to say that you've found him and that your still not used to everyone in this class.
"Yumi, please help me. I'm scared. I'm too young to die. I don't want to die this way, please" you whine to her as you start sweating and panicking.
"Look, (y/n), this isn't so bad. You're literally paired up with The Oikawa, everyone's crush, I even heard that he does well in class so you should be fine" she reassures while side-hugging you.
As your teacher finally finishes announcing the pairs for this project, she then says that each pair is to sit together while she hands out the documents.
As everyone stands to move seats, you finally make your way to Oikawa. You tensely sit beside him and get the paper that your teacher hands out to you.
"Hey, (l/n)-chan, that's your name right?" He asks in a calm and friendly manner.
"Yeah, it is." you quickly respond with a small smile as then start cursing at yourself at how awkward and unsociable you are. You then proceed to read the paper that sits atop of the desk. "Oh hey, we are assigned to DNA replication and protein synthesis, I love that lesson" you excitedly exclaim as you turn to face him.
"Well as a matter of fact (y/n), I absolutely hate that lesson and this entire subject. Everything is so hard and you have to memorize so much stuff....wait hold on, did you just say that you actually like the lesson?" He dumbfoundedly asks, in a state of disbelief upon hearing that you actually like the subject that was the bane of his report card and that caused much suffering to almost everyone in this class.
"Yess! I absolutely love this subject, everything is so interesting but I do agree that sometimes the lessons are quite hard to understand" you explain but was quickly interrupted as the teacher abruptly makes a quick announcement
"For the final assessment for this semester, each pair will have to create a short presentation regarding the topic that was assigned. Along with this, you guys will also have to answer some questions regarding the assigned lesson. I will now be giving the rest of the period for you and your partner to plan out whatever you plan to do for the project...since there is 5 minutes left"
"Well that's very generous..." You sarcastically mutter to yourself as you then begin to prepare the google slides
"Uhh hey, (l/n)-chan, you know how this topic was discussed to us last month right?"
"Yeahh?" you curiously respond, not knowing where this conversation would lead to
"Hehe well uhh, this is kind of funny but I may have forgotten some parts of the lesson. And when I mean some parts...I mean everything...and when I mean everything... I mean I totally do not remember a single thing about our biology class at all" he fearfully announces and flashes you an awkward smile
"Welp. We are so dead,'' you curtly reply as you start to remember your streak of almost perfect grades for this subject. Short flashbacks strike at you as you recall studying for countless hours in hopes of passing your biology assessments. All that time and effort thrown off the window as you just had to be paired with the great and sensational Oikawa Tooru....
As you blankly stare at him, seething in irritation while moping about your current situation, Oikawa waves his hand in front of your face
"Hmm (y/n)-chan, you seem awfully quiet. Well that isn't anything new, but you seem to be a little bit more quiet than usual, what ar-"
"No"
"Umm...I'm sorry, what?"
"No" you firmly state. "I will not fail this test. We will not fail this. And if it means having to teach you the entire lesson including some previous ones too, then so be it! Oikawa, when are you free?" you eagerly ask, determined to do whatever it takes to pass this test...even if it means bending over backwards to help him and teach him the previous lessons and sacrificing your time in the process
"Oh uhh, I have volleyball practice every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday" he responds while still being confused about your sudden determination. "If you want, you can tutor me later after dismissal since it's a Monday today." He adds with a little wink at the end.
"Great! Let's meet up at the library at 4:30 pm....and also, don't wink at me...ever...because if you do, I will personally make sure that eye stays closed forever" you state as you stand up and pack all of your things as the bell starts ringing, signaling the end of the period.
As you walk away with your books, Oikawa couldn't help but think to himself about the interaction he just had with you. Normally, people would act all shy and cute when interacting with him but you, you were different somehow...maybe it's because you had the nerve to actually threaten him or maybe it's because you didn't seem to be infatuated by him? Nonetheless, he started to look forward to talking to you again.
