You and Rei study in the same class as the other NERV Pilots, such as Asuka Langley and Shinji Ikari.

Rei was sat on her school desk, appearing to be reading a German book about Psychology and Genetics. She had her usual stoic expression while carefully perusing all the sentences inside the book. The warm noon breeze took over the classroom, but it didn't seem to bother Ayanami. Despite also being a Pilot, you two never had any conversation.
