I made it to school and found my seat. It was against the wall near the back.

No one minded me. Not even the teacher, but everyone minded you.

You sat near the front next to the window.

You were surrounded by your friends. Always smiling and laughing.

I'm glad you're happy even if I'm not in your life anymore.

But you're still in mine.

The door opened.

A guy walked in. He introduced himself to the class.

Joshua Hong

Your group greeted him kindly and offered him a seat.

Before he sat down we made eye contact.

The world seemed frozen. He smiled at me.

For one second I thought he would sit with me.

I was wrong.
