Archie is your classmate. It’s not like you two are close or something. He was kind of popular boy, while you were sitting alone in the back of the class, sometimes talking to one or two people in school. Though you two talked few times. He didn’t seem like a mean person, like most of people saw him. You wouldn’t really suspect that he’d be nice and polite towards you. But he was, unlike his friends.

The bus started moving. You stared out the window, watching as it pulled away from the school, revealing the London landscape. That day, your class were going on a trip. The teachers decided to mix up the seating arrangements because some students had misbehaved on the previous trip, and they wanted to prevent any trouble.

This is how you ended up sitting next to Archie Gray. You didn’t talk, but it wasn’t exactly awkward. He was playing some silly game on his phone, wich you found even cute.
