"You all will be paired into groups of two and work on this book report."

The teacher paced back and forth in front of the class. She had a small booklet flipped open in her hands as she marked down some names before turning towards the class.

The class was excitedly whispering and arranging themselves into groups of two when she spoke once more.

"I will be assigning groups, so all of you can reseat yourselves." She walked back over to her desk and sat down and started to read off the sheet of paper their assigned pairs.

The number of students left began to dwindle until one was left seated by herself, questioning where her partner was.

"Ah! Y/n, you'll be paired with Giyuu. You'll have to let him know after class is over." The teacher absentmindedly informed her, before explaining instructions on the group project to the class.

"Of course, I get paired with the one student that isn't in class." Y/n mumbled complaints under her breath after exiting the classroom. The halls were packed with students as they readied to go home for the day.

At the entrance to the school, Y/n made a sharp left, departing from the crowd and setting off to the other side of campus in search of her classmate.

After a short walk, Y/n jogged up the steps to the school swimming pool, already hearing the splashes of water and whistleblowing.

Right away she spotted Giyuu. He was standing at the side of the pool deck with their school swim team's t-shirt on and a pair of swim shorts. He was reading off a clipboard and had a whistle resting against his chest.

"Hey! Swimming prodigy!" Y/n casually walked over to him after sarcastically calling his attention. All the others were busy swimming laps, so he was the only one to turn her way.

"Can I help you?" He blankly questioned her, clearly unamused and uninterested in her childish name-calling.

"We were grouped up as partners for a book report." Y/n stopped a few feet away and turned to face the pool while she spoke. "I came here so we can get started on it when your don-"

"I can't." He swiftly cut her off and began to walk away. Y/n gaped for a moment at his brash refusal.

"Hey! Listen, I don't want to do this anymore than you do, trust me." She speed walked over to him, keeping pace with his long strides. "It should only take thirty minutes to-"

She was stopped by the boy's locker room door slamming in her face as Giyuu disappeared behind it. At that Y/n glared at the door, steaming with anger.

"Fine then! We'll talk tomorrow about it then!" She hollered through the door at him, not even caring if he heard her or not. Proceeding statement, she stomped off and began her journey home.

The following day, Y/n went searching for Giyuu during lunch break.

Luckily, her friend Shinobu had spotted the male seated on a bench nearby the school garden. Y/n broke out into a jog his direction after a word of thanks and a wave goodbye to the other female.

Turning the corner, Y/n spotted Giyuu on the nearby bench by himself. She strolled over and dropped down next to him.

She saw him glance over to her, followed with a sigh of annoyance.

"Listen, the quicker we finish this report, the quicker I'll stop bothering you." Y/n casually shrugged as he sighed once more and continued eating.

"I already said I can't, go get someone else to be your partner." He grumbled as he balled up his lunch remains and tossed them into the nearby trash can.

Y/n bristled at the words, running her tongue against the back of her teeth with annoyance. Giyuu began to walk away without so much as a goodbye after his rude statement prior.

She stood up from the bench, having already finished eating earlier, and stormed up to him. A similar situation to the day before, after he had walked off and slammed the boy's locker room door in her face.

Once he was within her reach, Y/n reach out and grabbed the back of his light blue sweater, balling the cloth into her fist and halting him from walking off.

At the sudden contact halting his steps, Giyuu turned around and made eye contact with Y/n. He raised a brow at her. The action only made Y/n even more irritated.

As he turned, she released his shirt and poked him in the chest with a finger. "You're making this much harder for no reason at all."

A uninterested expression remained on his face as she began to chew him out.

"Fine." He interrupted Y/n mid-sentence, giving in to her persistence. Y/n halted her words and seemed to double take at his compliance.

At her stunned reaction, Giyuu began to walk off again, calling back that he'd meet her at the library after school. Y/n gaped slightly as he walked away, relieved and annoyed that he had finally complied. His stubborn act disappearing almost instantly.

Later, Y/n had met back up with Shinobu and retold the story to her. The girl chuckling at
Y/n's struggle as she fumed about his 180.

"Was he asking me to punch him in the face?!"
