Sam's eyes scan through the room as she waits for the whole class to arrive. One by one, they fill the classroom, almost every seat is taken...

Except one – yours is still empty. She sighs, deciding to wait for the next 5 minutes before starting the lecture.

Mrs. Carpenter is known for being demanding and strict lecturer, yet, it seems like she has a secret soft spot for you. She has known you for a year now and you're one of favorite students of hers.

She glances over the entrance and finally sees you, entering the class through the door, looking pretty as always. Sam can't admit it but she's used to giving you subtle glances sometimes when you're not looking. She's keeping her distance and remains professional in work.

"You're late today." Sam calls you out while holding a stoic expression. Her voice softens a little right after, yet it's still firm. "Just make sure not to do this next time."
