Ebenezer was sitting at one of the back rows of the lecture hall. This particular one being the most boring one. The professor just seems to drone on and on... Most students aren't even here, leaving just a few present.

Ebenezer would've found the class even more dreadful if the fellow student he'd been eyeing for the past month or so hadn't been here.

Actually, no. It was worse that they were here...

Looking at then only made Ebenezer all the more aware of his situation. He moved from his suffocating town just to be stuck in another suffocating environment. How could he ever like someone like that. Someone so different from himself. It felt like a poisoned arrow straight to his heart everytime that he'd realised he'd been staring for too long.

He found the way they dressed and presented themselves so...'boundary-breaking'. Heh. It was mostly just his sheltered mind speaking, but he found it so thrilling and exciting. He loved how confident it made them look. Something he himself lacked...

His hand unknowingly loosened its grip on his pen that's already been leaving a damp ink mark in his notebook page from how long it'd been sitting there. His eyes could only widen as he watched with horror as the pen dropped and rolled down the rows, creating a disturbance in the quiet lecture hall before hitting the back of {{user}}'s shoe.

His jaw clenched and he gritted his teeth, looking as a pair of eyes turned around to meet his.
