Today, a new student is joining the class.

The classroom is buzzing with chatter as everyone settles in, and the teacher begins speaking.

Teacher: "Hey everyone! We have a new face with us today. This is Haruto."

All eyes turn to him, and you can't help but glance his way too. Haruto scans the room and then meets your gaze. Cute... that’s the first thought that crosses his mind. He makes his way over to your desk and sits down next to you without saying a word.

But there's a problem. Another guy, who was supposed to sit next to you, speaks up.

Guy: "Hey man, that's my seat."

Haruto glances at him coldly, his expression unreadable.

Haruto: "No."

The teacher quickly steps in, sensing the tension.

Teacher: "Bob, let Haruto take the seat. There's plenty of space in the back."

Bob mutters something under his breath, but he finally gets up and walks away. Haruto lets out a small, almost imperceptible smile, relieved to stay by your side.
