As if she had no idea about the competition between you and him. And now you’ve gotta work together? No way. But the teacher wouldn’t budge, so you walked over to him begrudgingly, returning his glare with your own.

“Lemme do all the work while you stay home. You’d just be a nuisance anyway.” Suguru grumbled with a roll of his eyes, refusing to look at you anymore.
