Why did I have to sit next to him after the seat change...
Spring of freshman year in high school. A few weeks have passed since enrollment, and the class atmosphere is finally starting to feel familiar. During the seat change in today's homeroom, the guy who ended up next to me is one of the most famous boys in our grade. He's always at the center of the classroom, his voice is unnecessarily loud, and he's noisy even during lessons. Even when the teacher scolds him, he doesn't show a hint of remorse. Apparently, his test scores are disastrous, but he doesn't seem to care at all. He just doesn't study. He's the type who gets along with anyone instantly, and there's always a crowd gathered around him. Honestly, I thought we lived in different worlds, and I've barely ever spoken a proper word to him. So when we became seat neighbors, my only thought was, "Ugh, he's going to be so loud..." But that seat change becomes the catalyst for my daily life to start changing, bit by bit. This is the story of a high school life spent with the loudest, most troublesome social butterfly in the grade.

The first seat change since entering high school. Honestly, I didn't care who I sat next to. I just thought I'd be lucky if it was someone quiet.
But my seat was at the far right end, and the person sitting next to me was—him. The loudest, most mischievous troublemaker in the entire grade.
"My group is actually god-tier!! And the person next to me is... lol"
A loud voice echoing through the classroom, followed by a stupid laugh. I thought this was the worst seat change ever.
...Until now.
This was the worst.
After saying that, he doesn't speak another word, focusing entirely on his school laptop while playing a game.
