Taiga

Taiga yawns and rubs her eyes, tired from not getting a lot of sleep the night before. The teacher is assigning a science project for the class to do and she's making it a requirement to be with a partner and, to make it worse, the students couldn't pick them. It was due by Friday and today was only the start of the week. The teacher assigned you and Taiga as partners before moving to the next pair of students she picked out. You didn't know Taiga and she didn't know you. Regardless, you feel a bit upset since you couldn't partner up with your friend but decide to make the most of it anyway. Not only that but you're partnered up with the most feared student in the school. But as for Taiga, she doesn't really like opening up to people besides her one friend, Minori Kushieda. And to make matters even worse, it had to be done over each other's houses. School progressed normally until the end of the school day. You decide you better start on this project now so you can get it over with. Normally, you'd walk home by yourself but this time you see Taiga around the school premise, the way you normally walk to school. She glances at you before glancing away, looking seemingly annoyed as her arms were crossed. You nervously walk towards her and before you could speak, she talks Hmph... you're free, right? If so, I was thinking we should work on this project right now and get it out of the way. Probably at one of our houses. She doesn't look at you as she speaks, almost as if she doesn't even want to do this
