"Hey, Baji-san. Exams are coming, you up for group study?"

Baji raised his brows and laughed with what Chifuyu asked all of the sudden. Their adviser just announced earlier about details of the upcoming exam before he left, now they're just waiting for their first subject teacher.

"What? Dude no! Who the hell will do group studies? We're not in that league to do so." he said and shook his head. He raised both of his legs and put them on his table, resting like a boss.

"Eh? I thought changed and wanted to become the 'good student with a good grades' like Yama-senpai?" Chifuyu said. Imitating his voice and doing some weird hand gestures that made his brows furrowed.

"I mean, yeah. I wanted to be one but in my own way, dude. Group studies are not my thing." he answered then crossed his arms.

Chifuyu got confused. He thought that his friend would be up for the idea especially he's planning to invite their senpai and ask her to teach them so that Baji would never back out but if he's acting like this then it will also be fine studying alone, the only problem is how can he teach himself when he's not also good at studying?

"Then, what is this your own thing about?" he asked Baji.

Baji gave his friend a meaningful smile. He sighed getting what he mean to say. Geez, I guess I'll ask someone instead to help me. He thought and also thought that being a dumbass really is a pain especially when it comes to academics.

Their teacher came inside the room, holding his things that's why each students came back to their respective seats and behaved. But not Baji. He didn't moved an inch and just looked at their teacher who's also looking at him.

"What a surprise to see you here, Mr. Baji."full of sarcasm he said.

"Don't you like it? I mean I could have sleep somewhere instead of attending your class." Baji said and wiggled his brows. Their teacher didn't get mad, truthfully, he's used in the attitude of his student.

"It's been a week since then. Continue then you'll be able to pass this year."

This teacher of them is also his teacher last year. Repeating a year is such a pain specially he's seeing the same face of his teachers. The feeling is mutual from his teachers point of view.

"That's what I'm planning to do."

"Sir! I'm sorry for his attitude, he's just in love" Chifuyu raised his hand then butt in the conversation which made all of them inside the room, except the two of them, surprised.

"Oh, that's a surprise. May I know who is it?" the teacher asked. Chifuyu was about to say a word when suddenly their front door harshly opened.

All eyes are on the person who opened the door. Eichi.

-

"Oh, isn't this President Yamada-san?" The teacher asked her once she suddenly opened the door.

Her eyes widened in surprise because of what she just did. She was happened to be passing by the hallway because she has an errand to do when she suddenly heard Baji's voice with Chifuyu's, talking about Baji being in love.

They haven't talk about going public of them dating. Like they've been busy hanging out and such that they didn't have the time to discuss it.

She's not even aware that she actually opened the door by mistake.

"G-Good morning, sir...I'm just doing some rounds for the... The monthly cleanliness section... Sir." She started stuttering when she accidentally looked at Baji who's giving her weird stares that made her uncomfortable. I'm speaking to a teacher! Can't he see that?!

" I see. I hope this class pass the criteria for that."

"I hope so too, sir. Then, I shall leave now. Sorry for disturbing and thanks for the time, sir." she said, before closing the door she gave Baji a threatening stare and left.

-

It's already lunch break but Eichi is still inside of their classroom. Too lazy to walk to the cafeteria and buy some foods. She laying her head on her desk when suddenly she felt something beneath.

"Oh shit." she immediately stood up and ran outside to the bathroom. She locked herself in one of the cubicles and checked inside her panty to confirm that her period hasn't coming yet.

But then it was the opposite. There's period blood in there, luckily it didn't reach her skirt and leave a stain. Unfortunately, she realized she doesn't have any pad with her when she ran in the bathroom. It was sudden!

"What an idiotic act is that, Eichi." she cursed herself and stayed seated at the bowl. Thinking of ways how could she solve this.

Seconds of thinking, someone knocked on her cubicle door.

"Yama-senpai~ It's Emma~ Baji asked me to ask you what is happening?"

Thank God! He finally did something smart!

"Uh. Yes Emma-san. As you can see ... Uhh.... I just had my period and I forgot to bring a pad..."

"Oh... I see. Can you wait here for a moment? I'll just get one for you. I'll be back." with that Eichi heard the door closed.

And just like what Emma said, she waited until she came back with a pad. She thanked her and got out of the cubicle all thankful for her.

" It's nothing. I experience that a lot too. You're lucky, senpai because Baji saw you. If not then what would happen?" she chuckle by what she said, speaking honestly.

They both washed their hands and left the bathroom together only to find Baji standing right in front of the door. Hands on his pockets.

"What are you doing here? It's the girl's bathroom, geez." Eichi said to Baji and grabbed his hands. They started walking away in front of the door.

"Wait wait..." he pulled and raised both of his hands. "Did you wash?" instead of answering Eichi palmed Baji's face and rub it with her hands.

"I didn't!" she jokingly said and was about to shoved it in his face but Baji caught her hands and she just pulled it back.

"What happened, senpai? Is there something wrong? I saw you rushed inside there and you got ne worried" Baji asked.

"Oh it's nothing. Just girl's things." she answered.

They started walking again. Baji reached for her hands and interwind it with her that made her shock.

"What are you doing? They might see us." Eichi whispered, pulling back her hands but Baji used his strength and put it inside his blazer.

"If they see us then it's good. At least they know that we're dating."

Student starting to look at the both of them. Most female students are obviously shocked as well as the guys. She lowered her head to avoid their stares. Technically, hating the attention.

"Really? Right in front of me, lovebirds? Sheesh. I'm outta here, a thank you would be nice though, Baji." suddenly Emma spoke up which Eichi temporarily forgot that they're with Emma.

She left the both of them. Until they reached the cafeteria, her hands is still inside Baji's blazer's pocket. Holding her tight like he's scared of losing grip of her.

He got food for the both of them using his one hand. Even the cafeteria staffs are looking at them, others are giving Baji a meaningful smile.

After getting their foods they sat in the farthest seat. Side by side and him still holding her hands.

"Can you please let go? It's time to eat." She asked.

"hmm... No. I'll just feed so don't worry." he said and picked a piece of baby carrots," C'mon open your mouth, senpai. The airplane's gonna land"

Her brows furrowed and wanted to smack his hands to stop what he was doing. But he suddenly stopped to poked her forehead with a baby carrot.

"Ops. It landed on the wrong airport." he said and started to laugh. Finding it funny unlike her who's just looking at him serious.

"Really?" she asked sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, senpai." he behaved and ate the carrot instead. He also let go of her hands that's why she now can eat using her own hands.

They eat silently for straight minutes. Until Baji broke the ice to speak.

"Senpai, are you doing group studies with your friends before?"

"No." she straightly answered and looked at him.

"Why is that? I mean you're the—"

"People tires me as well as group studies. I prefer to study alone so that I can totally stay focused. Why'd you ask? Is someone asked to come over for one?".

"Chifuyu has. But I declined." he said.

"Oh, that's unusual. Why is that? I think grouop studies are fine, don't you give it a try?"

"I mean, I'm a failing student and I know that  It can actually help me to pass my exams but I don't do group study nor self study." he said and drink his water. "well...for some reason I might want to study if it is with you." he added and wiggled his eyebrows then smiled.

"Huh?"

"So what you say, Ei-chan?"
