(The next day, Romeo arrives at their classroom early. He didn't know why he was early but he woke up at dawn and couldn't go back to sleep no matter how much he tried. It was so early that he thought that no one would be there before him. He was proven wrong when he saw Wendy, asleep on her armchair. He smiled at her sleeping figure. She was surrounded by a lot of books. He walked over and poked her cheek.)
Wendy (opening her eyes, rubbing them): Wha-who?
Romeo: You're supposed to be studying for the exams. Why are you sleeping?
Wendy (retorting): Because I wasn't sleepy.
Romeo (sighing, seeing junk food, pointing at them): Those for breakfast?
Wendy (upset): That's how I do it. Don't judge me.
Romeo (exhaling): That's why you can't study and why you ain't healthy.
Wendy (hands folded on her chest protectively): Why do you care?
Romeo (setting her materials aside): Because I do.
Wendy (eyes widening, blushing, looking away): Whatever.
Romeo (sitting beside her): Let's start over.
(Romeo helped Wendy with her studies. She was a fast-learner which was a huge surprise to the boy. In fact, if she actually tried, she'd even beat Chelia who was top 5.)

Wendy (running to Romeo): Hey, scumbag! Look!
(She was dangling her paper in front of his face.)
Romeo (confused): What am I looking at, again?
Wendy (grunting): My scores, duh! Are you blind? They're higher!
Romeo (grinning, hugging her for a short while): That's great! Congratulations!
Wendy (looking down, blushing): T-thanks for e-everything.
Romeo (acting): Anything for you.
