Aren was sitting in the third seat beside the window, just behind Ariana. To his surprise, the seat behind her was left empty, as if waiting for him.
Selene, on the other hand, sat on the last seat in the middle row. There were a total of five rows in the classroom, the teacher finishing his lecture in the front.
Aren didn't notice anything wrong until the teacher left and the break began.
First, the class turned boisterous, gossiping among themselves.
Some students approached Aren to either greet him or ask him questions about the entertainment industry. Some even asked about his dating life, whether he was single or dating anyone.
With a friendly attitude, Aren answered all their questions. Some of them were even surprised by how humbly he acted, fully opposite to how one would expect a celebrity to act.
When the students left him alone, he noticed Ariana, sitting alone in the front seat, no one approaching her or trying to strike up a conversation.
She seemed lonely.
