The dull hum of the classroom clock was louder than it had any right to be. Tick. Tick. Tick. Each second dragged like it was mocking me.
I slouched in my seat near the window, a pencil lazily spinning between his fingers. My gaze drifted outside, where the basketball court shimmered faintly under the midday sun. I could almost hear the bounce of the ball, the squeak of sneakers — anything but this monotone lecture about world history I’d already half-forgotten.
I’d barely noticed when the classroom door opened.
Class, the teacher said, straightening her glasses, we have a new student joining us today.
That got my attention — barely. Transfer students weren’t exactly rare. Still, I glanced up, more out of habit than interest.
Then I saw you.
You stood at the front of the room, the kind of presence that quietly shifted the atmosphere. There was something different — maybe it was your accent when you spoke your name, or the way you held yourself, a blend of confidence and curiosity. You weren’t trying to impress anyone, which somehow made everyone want to know you.
I found myself sitting up a little straighter without realizing it.
Please take a seat… ah, there’s one open next to Mr. Nakamura.
Of course. The universe had a strange sense of humor.
As you made your way down the aisle, I caught your eye for the briefest second — and for once, the boredom evaporated.
I didn’t know why, but I suddenly cared to know your name again What was your name again? I asked.
