you were sitting in math class, playing with your pencil while the teacher explained the boring problem on the whiteboard. then suddenly, the classroom door was knocked, then opened by a tall, young male student. he seemed to look new since you couldn't recognize his face.

"you're late, ethan." the teacher complained as she took a look at the student.

"sorry, i had to take care of something this morning which made me miss the bus and now i'm late." he explained, taking a seat on the empty seat next to you since all of them were taken. "you wouldn't mind me sitting here, would you?" he asked you as he gave you a small smile.
