Her Plan

The Next Day
Class 1-D
(Y/N) POV

I entered the class and saw Yamauchi was trying to sell his game console to one of our classmates.

And Karuizawa was trying to ask some points from Kushida.

I just ignored it and walked to my seat.

When I was about to sit, Horikita spoke.

Horikita: Do you have plans for lunch?

Me:*looks at her* Hmm?

Horikita: I was wondering if you might join me.

Me: Eh?

Lunch Break
Cafeteria
(Y/N) POV

Me: You're sure I can have this expensive special lunch set on your tab?

Horikita: Yes. I did tell you to get whatever you wanted, after all.

Me*thought*: I have a bad feeling about this.

I took tempura and was about to eat it when I noticed that Horikita was staring at me.

Me*thought*: What?

Horikita: What's wrong, (L/N)-kun? Start eating already.

Me: Right...

I took a bite of the tempura and...

Horikita: Now, I want you to hear me-

Me: Thanks for the food.

I immediately stood up but Horikita instantly grabbed my hand and forced me to sit back.

Me*thought*: What have I gotten myself into?

Horikita: It seems Hirata-kun and the others worked out their plan of action earlier today. They're going to hold a study group to prepare for the next test.

Me:*eats the tempura* Study group?

Horikita: Yes. But the 3 Idiots have refused his invitation to join.

Me: Yeah, they didn't really look like the studious type.

Horikita: I personally can't imagine how someone could fail a test. But the fact remains that there are hopeless students out there for whom failure is nearly inevitable.
