The Boy (across the classroom)

Many things happened while the boy visited our home.

But let's leave all that aside from now...

...because it's our exam week this week!

Oh no! 

I arrived in school earlier to study more, and I saw the boy.

He was at his usual seat, looking out the window.

This time.. I didn't look from far away.

I approached him.

I could feel my heartbeat increase every step I take.

Oh! I sure hope he doesn't hear me.. it's embarrassing!

"Ah, it's you!" He noticed me and he gave me his usual warm smile.

I nervously nodded and smiled back.

"Well, it's kinda weird that I stare at the trees right?" He awkwardly laughed.

But I bit my lip and shook my head.

"Huh?" He tilted his head.

"I-I think... t-that it's very a-admirable of you..." I nervously said as a blushed to the core.

"Eh?!" He suddenly said, "Gee... I don't know what to say."

He scratched his head, and he was facing the other side.

"Thanks." He peeked at me and smiled.

Though, this time it wasn't his usual, warm, happy smile.

This time it was kind of an embarrassed look if you asked me. 

"S-So!" He started. "Have you studied for the tests?"

I nodded. "A bit.. but I'm going to continue studying here.."

"Ah! Why don't we study together?" He invited me.

The boy got another chair and put it beside of his chair as he smiled at me.

"Let's study together."

"Mhm!" I happily nodded, holding my excitement.
