Kayoko had just got an important science test back, when she relized... She didn't do so well. "For those of you that got under a 76, there will be retests on Saturday." The teacher said. A couple students groaned. Kayoko looked on her test to see a grade: 75. She rested her head on her desk in a depressed manner. How could I be so stupid!? A 75..Noo! Mother and father will be so angry! I should have studied more! Next time I'll pull an all-nighter! But that won't change the grade I got..Retests..And I had all that extra help from sensai to help study! I'm soo stupid! Thoughts like that ran all throughout her head as she looked at the test. ...I should be cheerful enough to support the friends that passed! Even if I didn't!...Retests... Kayoko sighed. I wonder how everyone else did..

Lenore could not help but smile at the returned test. Science had always been one of her strong suits, although not as strong as English and the Arts were. Laying the paper flat down on her desk, she turned her green gaze to the other students, her silent eyes taking in their reactions, making a mental average of the class.
Hearing a sigh from somewhere behind her, Lenore turned around. A student, oddly familiar in that way that some can be to others, had rested her head against her desk, the test hanging over the edge of the desk. Taking a quick peek at the grade Lenore pursed her lips and turned back around. How could someone get a 75? Picking up her own test (a 100 clearly sprawled across the top of it in red ink), Lenore wondered what some people could have found difficult about it.
She turned her eyes to the front of the room again and almost forgot about the girl behind her and her 75. However, the little voice in her head kept nagging at her. You could help her, you know. It wouldn't kill you to try and be civil to others once in awhile. Lenore just rolled her eyes. Succumbing to the nagging voice, Lenore turned around, her arm draping lazily over the back of the chair, and asked, "Hey. Would you want me to--uh--help you prepare for the retest?" Licking her lips Lenore waited for the girls' response, her face blank of anything important.

Kayoko looked up at the girl. She was the one of the ones that tried to help her! "Hello, I think I saw you at the chemical reaction thing, was that you??" Kayoko asked while thinking. *That was RUDE..* "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't ask you're name! But first it would be rude not to say my name, so I'll tell you my name first!" Kayoko said quickly. "My name is Kayoko Arigawa, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Lenore was taken aback. Woah...Hyper much? She knew that she may not get along so well with this girl. Bubbly people never seemed to get along with her, not that she was Gothic or anything like that; she just didn't like people jumping about and being happy all the time.
Raising her eyebrow, a silver piercing catching the sunlight, Lenore fought the urge to turn away. You've already dug yourself this far...Might as well go all the way to China. "Uh---Lenore. Nice to meet you to Kayoko," she said giving the girl a half-smile. "And, yeah, I suppose that was me with the---what did you call it? The chemical thing?" Looking puzzled for a moment, Lenore shook her head, long straight, ebony hair moving side to side, and looked back to the girl.
"So, do you want me to help you?" Lenore didn't want to sound rude, but the shorter time she spent talking, the better.

Kayoko understood she wanted to get down to the point. "No, thanks. I already take lessons from science sensai, already. Do you think something's wrong with me?? I know!" Kayoko thought out loud at the idea that she thought of a couple minutes ago. "I'll do an all nighter! I'll study all night long on science! ...Do you think that's a good idea?"

"Not unless you can stay focused the next day with little to no sleep at all," Yasuo muttered. He was staring at his own test, his blank face revealing nothing of what he had scored. His desk was right next to Lenore's, and placed diagonally to the right of Kayoko.
"Kayoko, it might be best if you took Lenore's help. It seems that when one is studying with friends or with people around one's age, it helps them become more relaxed." Yasuo sighed, tossing his paper onto the desk. It fluttered slowly down in an arc, quietly landing on the wooden surface. 82 was scrawled on the top in red ink.
Yasuo crossed his arms, continuing to look forward. Never once had his eyes landed on Kayoko or Lenore while he spoke. "Besides, competition also makes one strive harder," Yasuo laughed.

Kayoko nodded, then sighed. "But then Lenore-san would just be another person I let down if I failed..Again.."

Lenore's eyes were drawn to the boy beside her when she spoke. Raising her eyebrow, she assessed him as she purposefully ignored Kayoko's question. Waay to easy... She had to admit that she didn't really notice she was sitting near anyone until the boy and Kayoko spoke to her...
"I guess he has a point there, Kayoko," Lenore said after a pause, her green eyes behind black frames turning back to the girl. "And don't worry about letting me down. I'm used to it," she muttered under her breath. However, she kept her eyes on Kayoko a moment longer and then suddenly turned to the boy beside her. "So, do you have a name mysterious-all-knowing-one?"Sarcasm and a type of humor framed her words, a dangerous disguise. A small smile curved her lips as she fiddled with one of her earrings.

Kayoko nodded. "Alright..I guess I'll take your offer, if that's okay."

"Mysterious-all-knowing one?" Yasuo quirked a brow, but he couldn't help smirking. He kept his gaze straight, looking at the teacher in front of the class.
"Would a mysterious-all-knowing person really give you his name if you ask like that?" Yasuo chuckled silently. Finally moving his eyes to gaze upon Lenore, he saw that same sort of smile he used from time-to-time. And he knew exactly what that smile was supposed to hide.
Yasuo huffed, his eyes straying away from Lenore. "..Yasuo," he spoke. He had to force the words out of his mouth; Lenore, it seemed, was going to be one of those people. And it bothered him to see another...him.
