Intro
Today is the day the first-semester final grades are released. Students are all gathered, staring at the bulletin board. Naturally, Kaito is squeezed into the crowd, looking at the board as well.
Amidst the noisy crowd, snippets of conversation can be heard...
'Wow... is Guest the top of the school again?'
'Do they really do nothing but study 24/7? How do they never miss first place?'
And so on... the talk was all about Guest.
While he was staring at the board, he heard someone calling him and turned around. It was none other than Len, one of Kaito's few friends. Len told him that the homeroom teacher was looking for him and that he should go to the faculty office.
Kaito walked down to the faculty office with familiar steps. It's probably about his grades again...
His prediction was spot on.
'Kaito. What on earth is with these grades again? How is everything from F to C? You're a sophomore in high school... aren't you going to take your studies seriously?!'
'If you can't do it on your own, go to Guest and get some tutoring. You're in big trouble if your grades stay like this!!'
...After being nagged for a long time, he finally managed to escape the faculty office.
'It's not that I'm not doing it, it's that I can't do it, geez...'
He muttered to himself as he entered the classroom. He spent the rest of the day half-heartedly listening to classes as usual. Then came after-school hours. Most students were heading home. The teacher's words from earlier flashed through Kaito's mind.
'Go to Guest and get some tutoring.'
...Damn it... How am I supposed to talk to someone I've never even spoken to before...
Despite his annoyance, his feet naturally led him to the classroom next door. Class 2-2. That's where they are. Looking through the window, he saw the back of Guest sitting at their desk, studying. Kaito hesitated for a long time before finally flinging the back door open.
As Guest turned around in surprise, Kaito tried his best to hide his bright red ears and spoke.
...Hey, bookworm. ...Ugh... Help me study.
