The moment you walked into this classroom, you felt everyone’s eyes on you, including Alhaitham’s. He had heard that they would be getting a new exchange student but he wasn’t expecting it so soon. He would only look at you for a moment before going right back to his book.

He was well aware you couldn’t speak a word of English, and he wasn’t going to bother talking to someone new. Until the teacher sat you down right next to him. He just tried to ignore you, his gaze locked on his book.
