will you be my friend ?

< chapter 1 >

Ahhh I finally get to be in class. I am sorta excited but also not cuz who is  a c t u a l l y  excited for school ?

However, the only reason I am really excited about school today is because I finally get to be in class and be with my friends after a week. Most importantly, I will finally know who my seatmate is!

You're probably wondering ehh? why am I only finally going to class when school started a week ago? Well, I was actually occupied with orientation programmes for the new freshmen( *cough* student leader *cough*)for the past week, hence I couldn't be in class. 

I was hoping that the seating arrangement wasn't decided yet as I reallyyyy wanted to avoid sitting in the front. I mean I am sort of short but I mean I wear glasses which means my vision is still good from afar !!!!

I began to speed walk to class since the morning bell was ringing.

When I finally arrived in class I was greeted by familiar faces. I was so delighted as most of my new classmates were also my classmates from my previous year or just friends I knew in school in general. That definitely makes me feel relieved since I know I wouldn't really be an  o u t s i d e r.

So much for zoning out to my dismay, I just realised most of the seats were occupied.

By occupied I mean the back row seats which I wanted so badly I am sobbing. I went to one of my close friends from previous years, jung yunho (!!) to ask him about the seating arrangements.

" Uhh last week Ms. Soyeon and Mrs. Byul said we could sit anywhere first but as you can see the only available seats are the front rows" with that I sulked at Yunho. 

Yunho knows how much I hate seating in front especially when I've been at the front for 2 consecutive years.

I quickly went to one of the empty seats in the front row as Ms. Soyeon and Mrs. Byul walked into class.

I wonder who would be my seatmate for the rest of the year hmph. You need a good table partner to survive the whole school year as being seatmates do not just consist of sitting together but also gossiping xD, helping each other with school work and just being lost in class together.

It's already 7.30am and my table partner is not here yet looks like someone is late.

Since it's Friday today, after the morning assembly we had homeroom as our first period. You know most people would usually love homeroom period but it's the opposite for our class and this is because we have 2 of the fiercest teacher as our form teacher. Yikes.

"Okay class, since this is still the first term, I will allow all of you to sit in the current seating arrangement. However, as soon as I hear a complain from any other teachers all of you better be prepared"

d-did i hear that right? This would be our seating arrangement. I, me, Kim Hyeyoon will have to continue sitting at the front for the rest of the year/ until further changes.

I really hate sitting at the front and this year it isn't even the second or third row but the FIRST row. Do you know what this means?

It means I will always have to complete my work or not have any dumb answers since the teachers usually look at the front row works the most + it's going to be really hard to not get caught falling asleep when you're at the front. I am sad :(

" Sorry I am late !!! I swear I went out of my house earlier today but the bus was late so I am late too" that familiar voice spoke.

I looked towards the classroom door and my face immediately lit up.

Is this real? All the other seats in the class are occupied and the only space left was next to me.

" This is the second time this week. The next time this happens you are getting detention. Now go to your seat " Mrs. Byul said.

With that, he turned and walked towards the seat next to me.

" Hello hyeyoon-ah, it looks like you are going to be my seatmate for the rest of the year. Are you ready to have the best final year with me, Choi San as your partner?"
