Minako's eyes fluttered open as her eyesight was just now, starting to focus on what her teacher was writing on the board. She sat up and yawned, stretching her arms and back in the process, as well as giving her neck a good satisfactory crack.

Yeah, she had just slept in class. It wasn't uncommon for her to do it, in fact she was known for doing the occasional snoozing, and Economics class was the best place to do it in. You see, she sat near the back, far away from the front where the teacher could see everything.

Minako Aino rarely paid any attention in class, she was too busy thinking about more important things that mattered to her. Things like volleyball, international idols and boy bands, arcade games, manga, boys and girls...And well, a lot more. But fantasizing about these things cost Minako her grades, all of which were mostly below average. Especially in Economics Class.

She sighed and almost cringed when she looked down at her blank notebook, realizing and then remembering how she never bothered to actually write notes. Minako took a deep breath and turned to the girl who sat next to her on her left side.

She poked her with her pen until she got the other girl's attention.

"What?!" She snapped, turning her head to the right to look at Minako.

"Can you give me some of your notes, please?" Minako asked her. The girl terrified her a bit, if she was being honest.

"Maybe you should've made some before sleeping." She sassed back, slamming her pen on her desk and crossing her arms.

Minako blushed in embarrassment, and scratched her head nervously. "So...Can I have them?"

The other girl scoffed and rolled her eyes, but eventually gave them to Minako. "You're really annoying."

Minako grinned and gave her a small wink while taking her notebook. "Thanks Rei."

"Don't mention it." Rei replied back, and Minako wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic or not.

The blonde teen read over the notes. They were all written in neat, cursive writing. Minako's dark eyebrows lifted up.

Wow. She thought. Who has enough time to write in cursive?

Apparently she did, in fact, whenever Minako looked at her she was always with her head down, writing.

Minako couldn't deny that she was pretty, actually prettier than she initially thought at the beginning of the year. Her hair was dark and shiny, and not much longer than her own. Her skin was quite pale, but while Rei's skin was pale, it brought out her features very well, like her dark eyebrows and amethyst eyes.

Her profile was also, kinda flawless. Her nose was straight, her eyelashes were long and her jawline was just...perfect.

Not that Minako wasn't pretty, she too had her fair share of perfect features.

Anyways, Minako pushed back the thoughts of Rei away. She never even realized she paid that much attention to the girl. She sighed and read the notes again, trying to process what the fuck a 'Scarcity' was in Economic terms. She honestly regretted ever coming to this class, but it was too late now, they were halfway through the year.

Minako looked at the clock, and there was only a few minutes until lunch started. She was so thankful for sleeping for a majority of this period.

The blonde looked back at Rei, who was staring straight ahead at what the teacher was writing. Her lips were closed in a small pout, and she was crossing her arms tightly, gripping her jumper sleeve. Everyone was just a tiny bit scared of her, because at first glance she looked like she could bite your head off. No one really knew anything about her.

However, it wouldn't kill her to say something nice, it wasn't like Minako was being annoying or anything.

It was so weird to her, because Rei was just so...cold and distant. And probably without even trying.
