Salem is seriously questioning his agreement to all of this.
Sure, Salem's decision making capabilities have always been a bit lacking. He's fully aware of the fact that he wouldn't get into half of the bullshit he does if he had better judgement. However, this probably takes the cake.
Catrine was right, Salem doesn't have his first class with Atlas. He gets a break there. However, not only is Atlas in all four of his others, but they have to sit beside each other.
In every single one, they have assigned seats right next to each other. In every single one, they are told to do partner work. Obviously they don't, Atlas completely ignores Salem's existence. It's been three weeks since the start of the new semester, and Atlas hasn't spoken a single word to him. Normally, Salem would be happy about this. However, he has a job to do.
