Seeing his face somehow calmed me down—finally. Probably it was relief from seeing someone who I'm familiar with, or it's just his handsomeness healing my heart. Whatever the reason, it made me smile again.

"Not really. Class was boring so I escaped."

My eyes widened from his answer.

"So basically, you ditched class?" I snorted, holding back my laughter.

He nodded. At least he admitted to ditching classes.
