One Seat Away ✔️ [Editing]

O - 1

Crisson arrived at the front of his school, wishing all of this could just go by quick.

As a simple ordinary student who's working hard for his dream college, Crisson aims to have a life set out for him and make a family of his own. Though of course, he has to get a stable job for all of it to work.
He knows he's nothing special or extraordinary and he prefers it stays that way. Getting stuck with the popular crowd seems like a hassle.

Sighing, he walked into the gates of school, dreading to start a new semester.

After setting up his locker and getting the needed books for his first subject, he started heading towards his destinated classroom when he accidentally bumped shoulders with someone which almost made him drop his books.

"Sorry," Crisson appologized even though he didn't really need to. It was just in his nature. He looked at the student in question whom he bumped shoulders with, noticing their messy hair that was quite tousled as well.

"Oh—no. It's my bad. I wasn't looking where I was going." The person hastily made an apology before

"Oh no, I'm gonna be late! Sorry again!" They apologized and immediately rushed off.

Crisson just shrugged off the incident and started to continue his way to his classroom when he was called out by someone.

"Hey Cris! How's it been dude?" Andrew, Cris' bestfriend, walked towards Cris, hugged him and did their little handshake.

"I'm alright. Just tired that it's another semester," Crisson told him with a displeased face.

"Well dude, this is the last year, after this we'll be in college and after that we're free!" Raising his arms up, Andrew acted as if he just threw his graduation cap and is free from school.

"Well either you're going to keep daydreaming there or not, I'm going to class. Can't be late for the first day," Crisson said to him and started walking off. Andrew started calling out to him to wait up.

When they got to their classroom, Crisson decided to sit at the back of the room, next to the window. While Andrew sat in front of him just to get close to a pretty girl that he liked.

Crisson noticed that the classroom was still filled with a few students so he started writing to pass the time.

When he noticed the room is a bit crowded, he stopped writing and observed his surroundings for a bit. By then only two seats were available. One of them was beside him. The other one was across the chair beside him. Just one chair away from him.

Later he noticed the person he bumped into in the hallways comes into the room, looking more presentable than the last time he saw them and took the one seat away from Cris.
