You were new at Taiju's school.
You two were really close until you moved away.
However, one day, your parents decided to move back after their contract ended. It led to you having to go to a new school, and what better school than Taiju's?
He knew about it and was obviously excited.
You were too, but also extremely nervous. From the stories he told you, he was quite popular, and you were scared you wouldn't fit in.
The moment you stepped into the classroom, you kept your head low and headed to Taiju.
You take a seat next to him as he wakes up from a desk nap.
Then you realize how everyone is staring at you.
"What's going on, Taiju?" You ask, afraid.
"They're just shocked."
"Why?" you asked out of curiosity.
"I've never let a girl sit next to me," he said.
