I stood in the middle of the class looking for a partner. It seemed that almost everyone already had partners. I kept my pokerface on as I looked around.

"[NAME]-CHAN!" An unfamiliar voice exclaimed. I turned around just in time to see a boy with curly medium length brown hair running towards me, his arms spread wide as he launced himself at me. I didn't know him and he was already annoying.

When he was close enough I put my foot up and the boy slammed right into it with his face. His arms were still out-stretched as he tried to hug me but I kept him away with my foot. The boy was tall and had a muscular body, not the bodybuilder body but the handsome and hot body. He wore the cooking uniform and for some reason It stood him better than by other males. Curiously I kicked my foot off and looked at his face. His eyes met mine and I was contemplating whether his eyes were blue or teal coloured. In the middle of his forehead was my shoe printed in red.

"Who're you?" I asked, tilting my head to the side with narrowed eyes. "I'm Isshiki Satoshi, you're partner!" He gave a closed eye smile and tilted his head a bit to the side. He seemed to be the carefree and childish type. Why do the nice people have to be childish?

''Ohahaha!" A shrill fake laugh that reminded me of a laugh from a queen, pierced the air. Riko strolled over to me and smirked. "It seems that we're in the same class [Name]-san" She stated. I nodded mutely. She laughed again and then turned to the person next to me. The moment she locked eyes with Satoshi, her face exploded in red.

"Ah, this is Satoshi. Aparently he's assigned to be my partner" I explained. Riko rose an eyebrow. "Assigned?" Satoshi quickly stepped forward and covered Riko's mouth. "Yes,yes. We're assigned" He laughed a bit and then let go of Riko who was now ready to faint.

"Satoshi-sama~...." She sighed dreamily. Satoshi blinked as Riko's partner -A bulky guy with short black hair - dragged Riko away after a curt nod. Was that supposed to be a greeting? He doesn't seem to be the type to talk much.

"So Satoshi. Shall we start making our dish?" I asked. Satoshi nodded and smiled while walking over to our cooking stand. "I was thinking that we could use red-wine" He started. "It would bring out the flavour and also bring an harmony between the other ingredients." He explained, glancing at me from the corner of his eye. It seems I scored a good partner. Ironically I was thinking the same thing as him.

"Alright, let's do this! Satoshi, you start with preparing the beef then I'll go and grab the seasoning and vegetables." I ordered. Satoshi nodded and went to work. After grabbing the seasoning, champignons,onions, garlic,carrots and other ingredients, I returned to the cooking stand where Satoshi was already busy with the beef. He seems so focused. It's like a switch had turned inside of him, his childish and carefree personality pushed aside for the moment.

"Here's the seasoning" I put it in his hand and he began to experiment it on the beef. "Thanks" I nodded in approval and grabbed a sharp knife. I studied it for a moment and then threw it up in the air, let it spin, and cought it in my hand again. I quickly sliced all the vegetables in pieces and put them with the beef in a pan. Now We have to wait for forty minutes.

Sighing I leaned on the counter and looked at Satoshi from the corner of my eye. He went back to his normal personality and gave a closed eye-smile which made me blush and avert my gaze. He caught me staring.

"[Name]-chan, which dorm are you assigned to?" He asked. I shrugged nonchalantly. "I haven't had time to look in which dorm I stayed" I answered. Satoshi frowned for a second before it changed into a smile making me wonder if I had just imagined that frown.

"Aren't you curious?"He asked. I gave him a blank expression. "No" The boy looked down at me curiously, a small twinkle flashing through them. "Not even a bit?"

"No"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

Not even a teensy bit?"

"No"

"Are you really really really suuure?"

"Yes, goddamn it!" I growled out. Satoshi stared at me a bit longer, my cheeks flushing a bit from his intense calculating gaze. "Alright then" He chirped. Just then Riko came walking over with her signature confident smirk. "Ah, I see Satoshi-sama made perfect Boeuf Bourguignon" She said with a smile, taking Satoshi's arm and clinging on to it. My eyebrow twitched in anoyance. "I'm here too you know" I stated. Riko ignored me and continued to cling onto Satoshi who was-in all earnesty - looking quite out of place by her endless flirting. Should I help him or not? Does it benefit me? Actually... If I help him, he owes me. Heh.

"Riko stop your flirting"I interupted. Riko gained an irk mark. "What did you say?" I stared at her with my pokerface. "Are you deaf?" I asked. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" She shrieked. "Yup, definitely deaf" I concluded as I averted my gaze with a smirk playing at my lips. Riko glowered at me from her spot and let go from Satoshi with a 'hmpf  '

"And what does it matter to you, [Name]-san?" She asked, narrowing her eyes dangerously.Oh nothing, just that he owes me a favor and thus I can do whatever I want with him. "Oh It's just that I'm such a nice person and want to save people from you"I pointed out. Satoshi smiled and raised his hands to calm us down yet the amused glint in his eyes told something different.

"You, saving people? Ohahahah!" Riko laughed. I nodded. "Yes, very much so. I save them from your personality and flat-chestedness. You poor poor girl.... or boy" I taunted. Riko gritted her teeth in anger. "Why you! Cup-size doesn't matter, you just have more weight weighing you down with those lumps of fat of yours!" She exclaimed. I nodded in agreement."Yes, yes. Cup-size doesn't matter if you could even fill a cup and besides, we all know that you're just saying that these babies are stupid because you're jealous that you got nothing." I retorted as I proudly crossed my arms over my chest. This was a woman's weapon. Sex appeal can lead you pretty far in life I tell you.

This time instead of insulting me again, Riko just stomped of angrily. The smirk on my face turned into a grin as I shook my head in joy. "Hahah, she's so fun to mess with!" I exclaimed. Satoshi gave a closed eye smile and chuckled before walking over to the pan and tilting the lid. The delicious aroma of the food filled the room and my stomach growled in hunger.

When was the last time I ate? I believe it was breakfast.... wait, no. It was that one bite fom Mister Creepy's dish! I shuddered at the memory of him. Shaking my head, I watched as Satoshi delicately put the beef on a plate and spread the sauce. His fingers worked on the little details like magic and I couldn't help but feel a bit mesmerized by it. What if those fingers can make you feel s-

I slapped myself mentally. No, bad [Name]! You shouldn't think dirty things like that!

I followed Satoshi to the desk of Roland Chapelle. The grown man looked up with his normal serious face and grabbed a fork and knife. He pressed the fork against the tender beef making it's juice seep out.

"It's so tender."He commented. He slowly sliced a piece off and put it in his mouth. I don't know what the man was imagining but he somehow seemed happy. His wide smile was a dead give away too.

"Isshiki and [Last name]. I'll give you an A rating!" I smirked at this and held my hand up to Satoshi who just looked at it with a questioning face. "You're supposed to high-five me" I told him dryly.

"I see.." He mumbled to himself as he lifted his hand with a closed eye smile. We slapped each others hand which made my smirk turn into a full grin. "YOSHA!" I exclaimed, overly happy with our rating. Satoshi chuckled as he watched me with a smile.

"Oi Satoshi, don't just stand there." I muttered "It's creepy.." Satoshi's eyes widened a bit in surprise before he smiled and jumped up, throwing his fist in the air.We continued to cheer together as the class just watched us with humongous sweatdrops.

"We're in a class with idiots."
