A New Face Among Us

We were finally done with the new seating arrangement and Ms Tachibana was looking at us with an evil grin on her face. She, of course, enjoyed this more than us. And in the entire ordeal, nothing turned out according to my expectations. I was rather disappointed.

I was hoping for Kana and Tsūmen to get paired up. Both of them ended up with different

people. But Kana's seat was close to Gaisen, who got paired with none as there were only 39 students in our class. He drew the odd one out. I was jealous of his luck.

Gaisen was sitting in the back of the middle row with Kana sitting in the middle of the row right towards his left side. At least Tsūmen and Kana were in the same row. Though Ms Tachibana had destroyed any hope, I had to ship them.
