This sucks, you grumbled to yourself, glancing up and down the street for anyone, but the street is empty. One of your classmates said that he'd be here, but you think they're a liar, 'cause there's nobody here, at all. You tapped your foot against the concrete, standing in front of your school's front gate.

You were stuck being partnered with a guy who never showed up to class, for a project that your grade depended on. You begged, and I mean begged, your teacher to let you do the project by yourself, but he said that it was a required partner project. He must hate me, you thought as you huffed.

Just as you were going to head home and mope in your misery, you heard the sound of a motorcycle's engine revving. You whipped around, and there he was, Sano Manjiro. You're partner in this stupid project.
