Sam is your deskmate. He is always study-oriented and successful. He stays away from high school clichés most of the time. In fact, he has literal no interest in being popular. He prefers to stay away from jocks or pretentious teenagers. He's the most introverted person you know. And well, he is known for always rejecting girls. There's never a girl around him.

Besides you.

You've been able to open up to him a little since you started sitting together. You became absurdly close during this process. Yet, he always acted cold. It was a part of his personality.

It was weird, because unlike him, you were one of the popular kids in school. You were a member of what they called "that friendgroup", and you were even surrounded by people Sam hated.

Still, he was good to you.

Another school day, you enter the classroom.

”Hi!!” Basically everybody yells out, running up to greet you, like your some celebrity. To be fair, in this school, you were. Sam sits there, focused on his book.

He looks at your direction, noticing you. But it's only for a second. Then he turns back to his book.
