The noisy school hallway smelled of chalk dust and teenage defiance. Chuuya, his fiery red hair hanging to his shoulder blades, stalked down the corridor, scowling over his failing Russian grade.

Chuuya assessed the situation, a cold, calculating glint in his eyes. Helping this nerd might just be the key to passing his class. The air grew thick with unspoken tension as their gazes locked across the crowded space.
