Sayuri was, quite possibly, in a serious state of complete and utter distress.  She'd been attending math club for the last few weeks to try and catch up on some of her classes.  Her year-long break from school had done little to help her overall learning abilities and her grades had fallen to unbelievable levels while she struggled with take-home tests.  She didn't consider herself to be a bad student, but when faced with anything outside of basic homework assignments she found herself at a complete loss.  Now there was yet another exam coming up and she found herself surrounded by textbooks she just didn't understand.

"I don't.... what does this even mean?!" Sayuri mumbled, drawing her feet up onto her chair as she sat in the library studying.  She had yet another heavy reference book in her hands and was squinting at the words, trying her best to make sense of the numbers being thrown at her.  She would have thought history would be one of her easier subjects, not a mess of dates and names too long for her to even pronounce properly.  Sighing, she placed the book on the table and tried to grab another.  She'd hoarded as much as she could onto a single table, carrying them the short distance needed to make it to any available space she could find.  She'd already called her parents and delayed her return home, focusing all of her free time on making sure she definitely passed this class.

Her dreams had managed to come true this far.  She'd gotten into Seiyo, she'd made a few friends - now she just had to get into class 3-A.  That was her newest goal and one she was trying her best to stick to.  Who cared about eggs and egg business when she had tests to study for!

Fuka

[Fuka]

It was not easy to keep up in 2-A. He'd been in 1-B his first year, an unacceptable level, but he'd only done so well on his initial entrance exams--but he was determined to step it up; after all, being in a better class and being smart made a person more popular, right? And when a person was smart and popular, they were trustworthy as a result, right?

Fuka was not naturally intelligent--he was about average, at best, and probably belonged in 2-C, but he worked very hard to keep his status in 2-A; and as a result, spent many a long hour at the library. Whether that was actually in the library and studying everything he could get his hands on until it had been thoroughly drilled into his memory, or out behind the library smoking off the stress that trying to grasp difficult concepts had set upon him, he spent a large amount of his afternoons after classes trying to make it all work.

Though, he was nothing if not charitable (for looks); and upon spotting another second year who appeared to be struggling, and conveniently and oh so casually passing by her a couple of times to check what exactly it was she was studying and making sure it was something he could actually help with (it wouldn't look good for his rep otherwise, after all).

Eventually, he decided to approach her, moving his things and shifting to take a seat across from her, smiling with a certain kind of charm as his cheeks pushed up until his eyes looked closed and he tilted his head in just the right way to make his feathery hair bounce gently around his features.

"Need some help? I'm not too bad at math, myself. Much easier to try at this together than to struggle along alone, right?"
