3. Tutor

Her eyes darted back and forth between the raven-haired college student and the brunette seated beside him. They were deep in conversation, speaking in hushed tones so she could barely make out a word.

Peering over her milkshake, she eyed the two speculatively noticing that they indeed made a very picturesque couple.

And for some reason, that did not sit right with her.

She strained her ears in hopes of catching any snippet of the exchange before her, but the two conversationalists were huddled close together as if forming a human shield to exclude her.

Frowning, she carefully set down her milkshake and approached the two cautiously. When she was close enough - and by close, she was merely a single booth away from the whispering couple - she decided to dart behind the nearest Sailor V game.

The sudden movement, however, attracted the attention of the brunette who glanced up to catch Usagi gawking at them. Smiling, she beckoned the blonde toward them. "Hello, you must be Tsukino Usagi."

Usagi blushed furiously from being caught in the act of spying and being scrutinized under Mamoru's gaze. "It's nice to meet you… um…"

"I'm Yuri," offered the girl. "Mamoru-kun here is tutoring me. It's so nice to finally meet the girl that he can't stop talking about!"

"Whatever he said about me - it's not true!" screeched the blonde. "I've only failed my past two tests… and the one before that… and maybe also the one before…"

Laughing, Yuri turned to her tutor. "You were right Mamoru, she really is as cute as you said."

Choking on his coffee, a red tinge crept into the college student's cheeks as Usagi stared at him with incredulous blue eyes.
