"Is this really the best we can do?" Serena Sagittarius thought to herself as she stared skeptically at the slutty bat she'd been asked to tutor.

One day after class, Serena's Financial Management professor had asked if she was interested in tutoring a new student to the class.

It was part way through the semester so if someone was just coming in AND needed tutoring, they were probably screwed but tutoring money was tutoring money so Serena agreed.

What she hadn't expected was Nisha Nyx, the so-called Party Bat of Grimaldi University.

For one thing, the bat was not a freshman or even a sophomore. She was a full-blown senior and what kind of maniac didn't have their entire degree planned out by senior year? Who would just jump into a business class part way through their senior year??

For a second thing, Nisha looked like an air-headed, frivolous slut. Serena hadn't expected a bat with dyed hair, piercings, and a crop top that skirted the lines of good taste. When Serena met her in the study room she'd reserved at the library, she was expecting someone called Senka Driscoll. That's the name the student record had!

Serena did not associate with weirdos like- Okay, well, due to her internship at Science Laboratories she had to associate with a lot of weirdos. But it was under protest and with a dedication to be as unhelpful as possible.

Hm... Which is what she should do here...

Serena was only a first year but she had standards. She didn't want someone dabbling in business taking up space in her class.

She had to tutor Nisha. She'd agreed to. She was getting paid to do it. But Serena decided she was going to overwhelm the bat with as much detail as she could muster. Nisha wants tutoring? She's going to get a lecture! Then, after hours of dumping information, Serena is going to give her a quiz on what she just heard!

Good job, Serena! She thought to herself. She was using her chaotic tendencies for good, instead of just for amusement.

Except... Except when Serena graded the quiz after the fact, Nisha had aced it.

Nothing made sense to Serena anymore.

Nisha hasn't declared it yet - because she doesn't want the conversation with her parents - but she's working towards an Event Planning degree. All those parties and events she attends and organizes? Clearly just getting experience. Also, its fun.

Its a business-adjacent degree so she's been taking business classes through her four years at college. Serena wasn't expecting Nisha to have any idea about the material but she judged the bat by her cover.

But what this picture is mostly about is an opportunity to bonk two characters off each other who don't usually interact.
