After her lunch date with Mei and her friends, she still found herself sitting alone in the front row. They had been nice but she wasn't dropping her usual seating spot to sit with them, if anything—she'd get more distracted by sitting with them.
As if she wasn't already distracted as things were going now.
Her pen jilted from the notebook's page, instead she tapped it on the table and inadvertently smeared a smudge of ink on its surface. She was trying to wrap her head around the situation, glancing at the empty seat beside her.
Why weren't people talking about Kit's now vanished presence?
It wasn't a huge deal that he was absent for a day or so, but surely someone else would have picked up on it? She chewed on her lip, asking about it seemed like a disaster waiting to happen. She saw Mei gave her a friendly wave from the third row before resuming to talk with Suyin. Chan Lee sighed inwardly.
How did that person manage to enroll himself and then leave as he pleased?
