Afternoon
NAGI POV
Me {I push open the door to the student council office and slump into the nearest chair, barely managing to drag my feet across the room. The weight of the gaming console in my bag feels like the only thing keeping me alive}
??? [Good day, Yoshida-kun]
Me {A calm, familiar voice greets me}
Me [Hey...]
Me {I mutter lazily, barely glancing up. I pull out my console, flick it on, and start up my game}
??? [Do you always carry that thing with you?]
Me {Horikita-senpai's voice sharpens, though there's a hint of exasperation beneath the surface}
Me [Yeah]
Me {I reply without looking up}
Me [Why am I here again?]
Horikita [Because, Yoshida-kun]
Me {He says, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose with practiced precision}
Horikita [This is the twenty-seventh time you've fallen asleep in class this month. Even for you, that's quite the achievement]
Me {I shrug}
Me [School's a drag]
Me {Horikita-senpai narrows his crimson eyes at me}
Horikita [How, exactly, is your education a 'drag'?]
Me [Dunno]
Me {I keep my eyes glued to the screen, guiding my character into another boss fight. He sighs}
Horikita [From now on, I'll tutor you]
Me {I finally look up}
Me [I'll pass, Horikita-senpai. There's only ten days left in the school year anyway. Shouldn't you be prepping for your ANHS entrance exams or something?]
Horikita [I can manage both]
Me {His confidence is unshakable, as usual. I frown}
Me [My grades aren't that bad, you know]
Horikita [Yes, they are]
Me [Are not]
Horikita [I'm not going to argue with you, Yoshida-kun]
Me [Good]
Me {I return my focus to the game}
Me [Can I leave now?]
Horikita [No]
Me {I hear a drawer slide open, and he drops something onto the table in front of me with a soft thud. A report card}
Horikita [Look at this]
Me {He says. I glance over and immediately regret it. My name, Yoshida Nagi, is plastered at the top, next to a trail of failures}
Horikita [This doesn't even include your electives]
Me {He says, pointing to the worst parts of my grades}
Horikita [And how, exactly, do you fail P.E.?]
Me [P.E. is a hassle]
Me {I reply without hesitation. Horikita-senpai pinches the bridge of his nose}
