Mondays.

No one likes them.

At least, most normal people don’t.

Since Kris considered himself to be normal, he disliked Mondays as well.

There is just something about going back to school after a full weekend of relaxation that is not right.

And to make matters worse, Kris’ Monday starts with two full hours of Latin, which means two full hours of sitting in a classroom, while listening to a boring teacher who is trying to tell you important stuff to remember for your exam about a language that is long dead!

Kris didn’t even know why he was still taking this class, because it was obviously the subject he dreaded the most out of all his other boring subjects. It was closely followed by mathematics though. Kris still couldn’t get a hang of it after 5 years.

But in contrary to maths, Kris wasn’t worried for his exam for Latin. He was actually pretty good at the old language, but he just disliked it a lot.

He disliked it probably as much as he disliked the student that was sitting next to him every time they had Latin. Kris’ year just couldn’t be better...

“Everyone, may I have your attention, please!”, the teacher called to the class.

It was the first day of school and all the students were chatting happily with each other about their vacation while a tall boy was standing a bit nervously next to the teacher.

When the pupils had finally turned their attention to the teacher, they noticed the newcomer. He, in turn, started to look shyly at his feet, while the teacher started talking.

“Welcome back to school!”, he said enthusiastically. He was met with dead silence.

Clearing his throat a bit awkwardly, he went on: “Since this year will be your last year at this school, with exams at the end of May, I expect for all of you to show me your utter best and not to disappoint me.”

He looked at every single student individually while saying this, his eyes just resting a bit longer on Kris, who just looked at the teacher with a bored expression on his face already.

“With that being said, I would like to announce that we have a new student in our midst”, the teacher continued. He then looked at the dark-haired boy, who started speaking a bit nervously: “Hello everyone, I’m Zitao and I will be joining you with Latin from now on.” He was still looking at the floor while saying this.

Kris couldn’t help but laugh a bit inwardly at the boy standing there in such an awkward manner.

“Well Zitao, you can take a seat now if you want”, the teacher said to the tall boy.

He started to get excited as he looked around the classroom. Now if he only could find a nice person to sit next to for the rest of the year! He looked around shortly and soon found a vacant spot next to a guy who looked like he just stepped out of a magazine. Smiling slightly to himself, the dark-haired boy started walking towards the empty table next to the guy that looked like a model.

As Kris was watching out of the window he didn’t see the new student approaching him, until he suddenly heard a noise on his left. He turned his head to see the dark-haired boy that was apparently called Zitao sitting next to him.

He inwardly cursed at the boy for choosing to sit next to him! Why couldn’t that boy have chosen the empty seat next to Victoria or Jia or Zhoumi!

“Hi, my name is Zitao, but you can call me Tao!”, the boy said.

“Kris”, the other answered drily.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you!”

The tall boy was almost bouncing in his seat from excitement. Kris couldn’t help but to roll his eyes at the new guy sitting next to him.

This was going to be a looong year...
