she eyed the new boy from her place leaning on monaca’s desk . nagisa shingetsu , she was pretty sure . had only been moved to their class the day before . but he was the li’l ultimate social studies . a title that meant he pretty much had to be smart , right ? a fact that seemed almost a given , considering the way he held himself . almost everything about him screamed teacher’s pet . so the odds that the only subject he was good at was social studies seemed pretty low .
at least , he was probably better then the rest of the class — monaca not included — which meant — maybe this was her chance to redeem herself . because from the sounds of the call her mother received the night before , if her grades didn’t start improving , she might soon face expulsion . && if that happened — it’d mean losing the only friends she’d ever have . not to mention even more rehearsal && work && —
she glanced at the clock above the blackboard . there was still time before class started , so — she’d quickly excuse herself from monaca’s desk — halfway explaining that she needed to ask something about last night’s homework . not a lie , at least , but not quite the declaration that , if she were offered the opportunity , she would definitely be willing to cheat . wasn’t as if monaca was oblivious to her situation , anyways .
though , admittedly , her question about last night’s homework was primarily regarding the fact that she barely understood it && hadn’t had much of any time to do it the night before . so despite the fact that she was confident it was considered rude to introduce yourself to someone by asking them to do you a favor , she approached his desk , schoolbag in tow .
not that it gave her much time to figure out what to say . but — she should at least introduce herself , right ? took a deep breath as she offered the boy a warm smile . if he thought she was cute , maybe he’d be more inclined to help ? it was worth a try . “ good morning ! i’m kotoko utsugi — li’l ultimate drama . && — i know it’s really sudden , but — i was wondering if you could do me a huge favor . ”
smile turned apologetic as she nearly plead with him . didn’t want to seem desperate , but in reality , she pretty much was . “ i’d seriously owe you . it’s just — i need some help with last night’s homework , && i figured you seem really smart , so i thought maybe i could ask you , is all . ”
