Chapter One.

Yuko frowned as she entered her class, 1-A. A crowd had separated Hina from Yuko, and she had hoped that her friend would find her way to the classroom, waiting for her.

Already, there were several people in the classroom, chatting quietly to themselves. They seemed to know each other, and didn't even give Yuko a glance.

"Hey~ Can you move~?" a voice asked behind Yuko.

"Sorry-" Yuko abruptly stopped at a loss of words as she turned around to see who had asked her to move. A boy, or a giant, stood in front. He resembled that of a tall tree, if trees had purple hair. He was carrying around a large bag of chips, munching delightfully as he stared down at her. Yuko quickly moved out of the way, and realized that she was not the only one staring at this boy. Everyone in the classroom had recognized his menacing size as he made his way to a desk at the back.

How could he be the same age as us?

"Yuuuuuuuko~!" a familiar voice sang. Before she could do anything, Yuko was trapped in Hina's choking embrace, and the classmates' attention was turned to the two girls.

"Hina, I can't breathe-" gasped Yuko as she pried her friend's hands away from her.

"Eh, Yuko, you don't want me to hug you?" pouted Hina. Yuko shook her head in disagreement, not wanting to hurt her friend's feelings. "Woah, look at that guy! He's so tall!"

Yuko hid her face behind her long, wavy, dark brunette hair in embarassment, as she continued to listen to Hina's comments about the purple-haired boy's height.

"Don't touch me~"

Yuko looked up, only to see Hina poke at the tall boy, getting the boy more irritated. He was reaching at her face with his large hands, and Yuko knew her friend was pushing her luck.

Before the hand could touch Hina, Yuko had came in between them. "Sorry," she apologized as she pushed Hina away from him and towards the door despite her protests.

The boy stared at the brunette until she had disappeared behind the door, and resumed eating his bag of chips.

Murasakibara was dreaming of the new cakes his favorite bakery had, when something hit the back of his head. "Huh~?"

"Murasakibara, you haven't written anything on your exam!" the teacher shouted, although he knew it was a lost cause.

"That's because I don't know anything~"

"Maybe if you studied-"

"But that's too much work~"

A giggle stopped the two men from arguing. It had come from the tall brunette, Yuko. She seemed to realize what she had done and quickly put her hand over her mouth, muffling her giggles.

"You think this is funny, Narito Yuko?" the teacher questioned. "Then why don't you tutor this young man?"

Yuko's eyes widened at this news instantly. "What?"

"Good, you can tutor starting today."

"But I have basketball practice today~"

"Sorry, but I don't think I have any time-"

"If both of you don't do this, you will fail this class! End of discussion!"

The teacher glared at the two students, leaving them speechless. Yuko sighed in frustration, as Hina snickered quietly beside her. Yuko glanced at the her titanic classmate, only to find him adjusting his position to take a nap.

"You have got to be kidding me," whispered Yuko under her breath.
