Kurumi just stared at Professor Roslund looking horrified. Not only was she pretty sure that she was horrible at writing poetry, but now they were supposed to write l-l-l-love poems? Kurumi still wasn't sure that she understood the concept. She thought that she did, but there had been some changes within her recently that caused her to sort of doubt herself. Why hadn't anyone told her that turning 16 was going to be so bloody confusing.
So...maybe...writing something that wasn't a love-love poem would work? Friendship poetry was good too, right? It could be descriptive or something. Perhaps talk about how they met and all that. Seemed like a safe bet. Kurumi was feeling far too awkward about this whole thing and looked around the room...

Hand goes up worriedly "Professor, is there an alternative to poem writing?... like maybe find a song instead?" because really his logical brain isnt wired for something like this.
...when she saw that Vickers was looking just as awkward, if not more so, than she was. Good, they could feel awkward about this together and just get the assignment done painlessly, yes?
Kurumi scooted her chair a little closer towards him. "
Psst, Vickers," she hissed, hoping to catch his attention. "
Want to pair up for this? Just write about each other?" She would probably use birds as some sort of metaphor in her poem, which was probably going to be a series of haiku really. Vickers was really interested in aviation and flight. Seemed like a good fit.
