The class bell rings and everyone starts to scurry out of the lecture hall. Akali looks clueless at her notebook and the board, realizing she has not managed to understand a single thing about today's assignment, or last class's either. She is truly falling behind, and even if she can burn enough hours to catch up, there's still the matter of scheduled assignments.

Then, as seats clear, her eyes catch one straggler like her. The class nerd, furiously taking extra notes in a race before the professor closes the room.

Oh, he will do just fine... She suddenly thinks, He is gonna fold immediately.

She picks up her things and struts towards him, letting instinct guide her play:

"Hey nerd, do you have a minute?" She asks, with a commanding sass in her tone.
