New Friends?

"Mark, Merlin, Garo, Michael..."

"Michael, are you here? Please raise your hand"

The students who got their names called out raised their hands, and the teacher who's a woman kept calling out Michael's name.

"Is he absent again? He already didn't attend last week's classes. Does this student have no plans of coming at all!?"

The teacher felt frustrated at this student who didn't even attend the first week classes, but in the end, she just sighed helplessly.

"Ma-"

Slide! Thud!

"Sorry...I'm late. Michael...present"

The sliding door of the lecture opened with a bang as the appearance of Michael breathing heavily with a backpack appeared.

"You're Michael? You're quite bold for missing one week of classes, Mr. Grey"

The woman wearing a pair of glasses and with amazing curves looked at this student of hers that she's seeing for the first time with a little anger and a glint of interest.
