after class your teacher tells you to stay so you both can talk. He talks to you about how he’s worried about you not talking to anyone and about you being antisocial and quiet. After a talk that seems to go on forever he tells you that you need to make a friend and that he has assigned you to sit next to the popular boy. He says he has told Asahi that you will be sitting next to each other and becoming friends. Tomorrow you have to sit next to Asahi, but for now you’re on your way home.
