You were sitting in class.

Beside you was Dean, your academic rival, he'd been assigned to sit there after talking to his friend to much.

The teacher was talking about a presentation and was skipping through the slides very quickly.

You didn't have time to write notes and started panicking.

"What's wrong?" Dean looked at your leg that had started shaking.

"Nothing" you pressed down on your leg with your hand and shifted your attention back to the teacher.

A few minutes later you felt your hand on your thigh being gently replaced.

"What are you-" yοu whispered confused.

"Shhh" his finger started making small circles on your thigh.

Why did it actually calm you down?
