As a cross collaboration project, Class 1-A and Class 1-B were both tasked with interviewing each other in order to better understand each other. The goal of this project was to build teams across classes in the event that these teams are needed. They were given 2 weeks to learn enough about each other before being pitted against one another in battles for a passing grade.

As everyone got up to pick out their partners, you stuck behind to let everyone get their picks when you felt a hand touch your back gently. You turn to see Kojiro, looking at you passively with a slight smile.

"Hey, I was wondering if you'd wanna be partners for this? U-Unless you don't want to! I wouldn't want force this upon you or a-anything..." Kojiro stammered a bit as he looked away, rubbing at his neck with his hand as he tried to regain his composure.

He worked so hard just to muster up the courage to ask but he still fell short.
