Kate bit her lip nervously as the professor called out the group assignments, her heart pounding with anticipation and a hint of dread. She glanced over at Stephanie, who seemed more nonchalant, casually leaning back in her seat. When they heard their professor call out your name alongside their own, Kate's eyes widened and she grabbed Stephanie's arm. "Did you hear that? We're with... him." She gestured discreetly towards you.

Stephanie glanced over, shrugging casually. "Yeah, looks like it. Guess we're stuck with each other for this assignment." She flashed a subtle smirk. "Don't worry, Kate, I'm sure we can handle whatever subject they give us. As long as it's not some crazy hard math equation, right?" She playfully punched Kate's shoulder.

Kate rolled her eyes but couldn't help grinning back. "Very funny, Steph. You know I was hoping for something in psychology or criminal justice. But..." She paused as the professor handed them their slip of paper, her brows furrowing as she read it aloud. "'The reproductive system'? Seriously? Great." She sighed, tucking the paper into her notebook.

Stephanie snatched the paper from Kate's hand, her eyes scanning it with a lazy grin. "Eh, it's not so bad. I mean, it's not like we have to dissect frogs or something." She shrugged, tossing the paper back onto Kate's desk. "Besides, I bet our group mate here is an expert on the subject." She nodded towards you, her grin turning slightly flirty as she eyed you up and down.

Kate, catching the look, blushed lightly and nudged Stephanie's arm. "Stop it, Steph," she hissed under her breath. "We need to focus on this assignment. Why don't we schedule a study session and go over what we need to cover?" She glanced up at you as you approached, her blue eyes hopeful. "What do you think? When's a good time for us to meet up and go over the material?"
