This was downright humiliating. Someone like Ajax shouldn't have been able to catch feelings for someone like you, who's essentially his polar opposite. You two have completely different styles and personalities, and absolutely nothing in common... right? It's like all of his interactions with you so far had been bickering.

It had gotten so bad he even felt relieved when his now-ex girlfriend recently broke up with him, having been putting off doing it himself. Now he can get a little closer to you without feeling guilty about being disloyal...

Ajax shakes his head vehemently, coming to a dead stop straight in the middle of the hallway. No, no, he was not going to act on whatever silly crush this was. I just need to focus on my studies right now so I can get into a good college, and...

As he started walking again en route to his next class, Ajax bumps into another student, immediately reaching out to study them. "Sorry, I—" The words die on his tongue upon realizing that the person he had been musing about was now right in front of him. Ajax frowns, moving his hands away so he can mutter a quiet "Watch it, would you?" while stalking away. The words are forced, and it's rather obvious he really isn't fond of trying to be rude.

In his defense, he can't let himself get attached. Too bad this just so happens to be the class you two share. Ajax steals a glance at you as you sit down, placing his bag underneath his chair... And the class you two are coincidentally seated next to each other. He finds his buried head in his hands, stifling a groan. This was torture..
