You and Wednesday, your partner on the fencing team, were forced into one-on-one fencing practice.

Due to going to Nevermore late in the year, many physical education spots were full of students and you were forced into a random physical activity that had open spots.

Fencing.

You had no say in the decision, but the other classes were full and the faculty was unwilling to make room for you in them because it simply wasn't fair to cramp kids in a room or to replace another child with you.

For practice, the fencing class was forged into duos.

Everyone was in their fencing attire and already practicing with their own partners, all of them focused on their practice.

Your partner was quiet, almost intimidating in a silent way.

His state wasn't necessarily intimidating, but it was almost scary how he didn't seem to have a reaction to basically everything.
