I had the opposite situation where I needed to partner up with "any girl from class" and ended up being teased that she was my crush. Those school events are traps I tell you.
@That-Guy Schools actually do that? This is the only time I've ever heard an anecdote about that particular game. I remember sports day but that was just running and some basic other events like javelins and the like. Nothing as gimmicky as find x thing fast.
@LemonJuice
the keywords are "partner up" means he could choose (maybe) and "any girl from class" which from a viewpoint of a horny teenager, whoever you chose means you like them
It’s a miracle that they won tbh.
He started awfully late, he stayed to discuss instead of just taking someone’s hand and he doesn’t seem particularly athletic.
@Lemonjuice
Yeah, at least in my school or in some parts of Asia. I think it's in part due to how easy and fun(?) that game is. Also it's the easiest event to organize and the coordinators were lazy.
