Laura's heart sank , but not wanting to make the situaton worse on her first day of school , she turned to leave to sit at the last row of the table . The reason why Laura doesn't want to sit at the end of the row was because she might face difficulties to view the board as her views might be block my the reflection of light .

He kindly offered Laura the seat next to him , much to her relief . Laura's heart skipped a beat as she sat down beside him , feeling a rush of excitement and anticipation .

'' Ouh , Thank you . '' . Laura thanked the boy with a blush on her cheeks .
