But found him rooted to the spot with closed eyes.

seat.

Rayan had an evil smirk plastered across his lips that vanished as soon as he saw my face. He must be surprised, at how I managed to wipe the dark brown taint off my mouth. All five students had taken the advantage of coming early and took the seats opposite other community members. The only seat left vacant was opposite the Dean’s seat.

His sleeves were now folded up.

I reached for my seat and fished for a wet tissue from my purse.

I sat down with a faint hello and felt his eyes on me.
