Chapter 2 - A Promise to Myself

"I feel like I'm in love."

This guy... it hasn't even been 4 classes since he realised that his crush likes someone else and he's already...

going after someone else...

I mean... didn't you like her for almost 3 years? Since Middle school?

Makes sense though... That dude's seriously handsome... and my friend holds no candle to him.

Not that I'm one to talk...

Since my crush and the guy who proposed to her are... sitting together...

and I'm sitting with the blonde girl...

I haven't said a word and she's also treatibg me like I'm invisible...

Kinda reminds me of... my previous life...

Haa... It's always like this, honestly.

I don't know what i do wrong but ut doesn't take women 10 minutes to deem me a loser.

Worst part is...They don't even talk, they just decide I'm a loser.

The fact that they are spot on without even trying is what's annoying.

"Everybody, Quite... Back to your seats."

The teacher showed up, as she told everyone to go back to their seats.

"Alright, Let's start class."

"Miss... I want to change my seat."

She glanced at the person asking to change seats.

"Why? What's the reason Max?"

It was Max.

"It's personal."

"i... see..."

She took a second to think...

He just stood there waiting for her answer.

"Miss... I won't mind sitting with him."

It was the blondie next to me who said that.

I felt kinda sad when she said that.

I looked at Thomas... But, he was just... Staring at the girl sitting next to him.

You... really gave up haa?

Is it because you liked her since middle school? that you gave up so easily?

Will it take me that long?

To finally stop being delusional?

All i could do was feel sad over her dejected face.

"What? We too won't mind him sitting next to us."

"Mee too."

"Me Too."

Seeing how popular he was... he couldn't help but smile.

But the one next to him... wasn't one bit happy.

She... was sad, really sad.

"Shut up, if you don't wanna be kicked out."

The teacher too... if i were the one who asked her to change seats, she probably wouldn't have asked such a question...

She'd have just told me to shut up and sit down...

She's obviously showing favouratism because he's both handsome and the top of the class.

1 on the other hand... am at the botto-

Huh? Wait... why.

Didn't i promise myself... that if i were reborn again, I'd seriously Being a civil servant, and earn well.

I'd begged god that day to reincarnate me... so i can restart again.

What... the fuck... have i been doing?

I'm still... no different from my previous life am i...

"Alright... Fine."

Always in the bottom.

Be it Exams or popularity.

I don't even have to lift a finger and I'm already deemed a loser.

I'm doing the same thing again.

Pursuing women, all my school life...

"Who wants to sit with him."

Never succeding, And also lost in the education department.

Ended up unemployed and Died? without ever getting a job.

"... that doesn't help."

So... i failed in the things i trued and things i didn't try.

It should have been the other way around no?

I should have tried studying and not tried making a girlfriend... maybe, things would have been different fir me.

For my parents, Maybe they'd have been able to keep their head high when they thought about me.

"Alright I'll Pick."

In the end... i am probably dead and i didn't do jackshit for them.

all i ever was... was a burden.

I'm no different in this world either.

My parents in this world aren't doing well... either.

Instead of Working a part time job and earning some money... I'm out here pursuing a women Who's so out of my league that just the thaught of me liking her would probably piss her off.

"You... sit there."

"Max, you can sit here."

"Hey... The space case at the back."

That's probably how it'd end up... if i ever confessed to her.

"Hey... alie call him. Why's he in such a deep thought, he can't even hear me."

"Hey... hey, The teacher's calling you."

Hmm...

"Y-Yes!"

What was that loser like response? Is what everyone's thinking...

and so everyone laughed at me as i stuttered.

Haa...

What the fuck am i even doing?

"You sit next to her. and Alie, sit behind her. You, come here and you go there."

She changed seats.

I'm assuming she's changing it based on her preference.

But... why, are you telling me to sit next to her?

Am i sitting with her again? For another 2 months.

"Is there anyone dissatisfied with their seating arrangements?"

Doesn't seem like the girl next to max is dissatisfied... she seems to have 2 hearts in her eyes right now.

And the girl next to me?

She's very dissatisfied.

No, not because she's sitting next to me but... because he's no longer sitting with him.

Wait, that girl...

Isn't she, The one Thomas was staring at?

Where is he...

Where?

"How long has it been? Since i was your seat mate Thomas? 3 years?"

The girl sitting behind me was talking to someone named thomas.

I looked behind me and yes, it was him.

Well... What's up with the teacher.

Making this arrangement outta nowhere.

"That will be your steats for the next 3 years. No more changes will be Added."

And so... she throws a bombshell at us...

I wouldn't dare look at Alexia's face right now... but i'm sure she's got a damn dissatisfied look on her face.

Don't worry, I'm not gonna bother you anymore.

I'll maybe look at you during break as you go to the cafateria during break...

But, I'll never talk to you again.

I'll promise myself for a better future.

That... I'll never indulge into another conversation with you.

The day you end up talking to me causally is the day this promise shall be null and void.

I added the last clause because... as much as i wanted to change my life... I still couldn't give up on her.

But, I'll only do the bare minimum of talking. Since we are seatmates.
