Banashi rushes into class, just before the bell rings to tell her she's late. She spots her usual table isn't empty, but in fact has one student sitting there. She strolls on over anyway, Placing her bag beside the seat before pulling it out and flopping onto it.
"Hey Bae." She greets the student, one she knew from the group meeting a good while ago. Bae looks at her with a partial smirk.
"Hello, muffin" He responds with his usual tone. He was sitting upright, his posture near perfect with shoulders relaxed and his arms resting on the desk in front of him. Banashi however, right next to him, was half slouched over, restricted by the desk pressed right up against her middle torso, and her shoulders tensed and raised to place her elbows on the table and hold her head up. Banashi sighs slightly.
"Miss better be here soon, I don't want to sit here waiting for her again." Banashi complains.
"Maybe you should stop being late yourself, twinkle. I was sat here for a while, waiting for you." Bae comments, smirking softly down at Banashi. She rolls her eyes.
"My last class was pretty far away, I had a sub and he missed the bell and kept us in, and I didn't know I had someone waiting for me, because no one tends to care. I thought you weren't looking to be friends with any of us?" The unstable sceptic explains and asks, tilting her head up to make eye contact. She can't help but admire the bright red eye colour he has. Compared to her own, it's a lot more interesting, she thinks. She's drawn away from her thoughts quickly though, as Bae speaks up again.
"Yes, that is true, but you're always so quiet. I wouldn't be surprised if you failed the class with how little you pay attention. Soo, I came to help you, ducky" Banashi glares at Bae with sharp eyes as he nicknames her.
"Don't call me that. I can deal with all of your stupid little names but I won't accept being called 'duck' again." She tells him, straight forward and strict. Bae dismisses her protest with a slight wave of his hand.
"But it suuits youu, your posture is about that of a duck." The patronising sarcastic pokes at her metaphorically, making her slightly self conscious, straightening her back.

Just in time, before Bae took another attack at Banashi, the teacher walked in and finally started the lesson. Banashi returned to her terrible posture quickly, getting tired of holding it. As the teacher spoke, the pink haired girl took down a few occasional notes, just to look busy and avoid Bae's comments. That didn't stop him, however.
"You could put some more effort into your writing, ducky. Even I can't read that, and you can see my effort" He says with a smirk. Banashi remains quiet, writing her chicken scratch without any visible care. "Oh, don't go silent on me sunshine," Bae starts again, but he's cut off by the slamming of hands on a desk.
"SHUT YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH BEFORE I SHUT IT FOR YOU. YOU'RE NO FUCKING BETTER THAN ME." Her voice was loud and pissed, staring Bae down as she stood. The rest of the class, including the teacher, fell quiet as Banashi yelled.
"Miss Radnith, that is not acceptable behaviour." The teacher sunstableed the girl
"Do something about it then!" Banashi snapped back. The teacher walked over and gave her a detention slip
"Go to the office." She ordered her
"Anything to get away from this cunt!" Banashi responds with an angry smile. She slapped Bae across the head before she stomped off. Bae sat, rubbing the side of his head, stunned. The teacher checked in with him, before continuing the lesson.

Banashi avoided Bae until the next class they had together, later that week. Bae apologised in a roundabout way for his comments, strategically keeping his pride while he did. Banashi seemingly forgave him, but didn't apologise back, standing by the fact he deserved it. Bae doesn't tease her as often as he does others anymore, knowing that she can and will beat his ass if he goes too far again, and he's a bit of a wimp.
