Um, I have a request! Please, please, PLEASE… Help me studyyyyyy!

Kasumi? Wh-What's wrong?

Tomorrow I have a classical lit test! If I fail it, I'll be in for a week of remedial classes after school!

What?! But tomorrow we're…

Exactly! Tomorrow we're starting dance rehearsals for the new song! But, I'm a hundred percent confident I'll have to go to remedial classes!

You're that confident? I guess classical literature IS one of your worst subjects.

No, it's not quite that simple. It's more than my worst subject… I hate it. I actually think something happened between me and classical literature in a past life.

W-Wow, it goes that deep.

Which means, I really need you to help me study! You're the only one I can ask!

Okay, could you start by showing me your textbook? Also, what's the test going to cover?

Yes! I've got the textbook right here! And I wrote down everything the test will cover in this notebook!

You're really prepared, huh? Let's take a look at your notes… Wait, this isn't your handwriting.

Oh, my classmate took notes for me. During classical lit class, I was in a dream world listening to people tell me I'm the cutest girl ever, so I don't know what went on.

I-I see. Next time, try to stay awake and pay attention during class, okay? Umm, so the test covers… Got it. Now let's open the textbook.

[Fade in/out.]

Okay, so now we've gone over what will be on the test. Next, let's review the material. I'll ask questions, and you answer them. If there's something you don't understand…

Ahhhhhh! I really can't take this anymore! Let's take a break soon, please!

No way. We just took one. Come on, don't collapse on your desk like that. Let's keep going.

I caaaaan't! I'm getting dizzy just looking at the textbook. And I don't get why they used different words back then from the words we use now! It's all a big scam I tell you!

That's what classical literature is all about. Come on, let's go over the vocab and grammar points that'll be on the test again.

I promise I'll review it when I get home, so let's go eat crepes now. Ai told me about this really good place.

Ooh, or would you rather go to that new cafe that just opened up? Right now everything on the menu is half off as an opening special.

Kasumi…

Urggghh. I mean…listen! Nothing's sinking into my brain for me! Even though you're doing your very best to help me learn!

I was the one who asked for help, but I can't understand a thing…and you're gonna end up hating me. You're gonna be so put out with me. I…hate the idea of that.

I promise I won't hate you or feel put out with you. So just relax, and let's keep studying until the end, okay?

Are you sure?

*Giggle* Sorry! I'll study for real! I promise I really will, so please stick with me 'til the end!
