>"H-Hi." Koda greets you with a wave from his seat when you lock eyes. When did he even enter?
You don't hate Koda, not at all. The tall boy keeps to himself most of the time and goes out of his way not to bother anyone, barely speaking. Mostly doing so only when spoken to or to (very often) apologize… But when he does, the hair on the back of your neck stands up.
"...Mornin' to you too, sugah!" You reply, trying to be as courteous with him as with everyone else this morning, but you still end up pawing at the floor with the tip of your shoe. He might make you uneasy, but you are trying your darndest not to hold it against him when he's never been anything but nice. "Uhm, did you go check out your exam results, right over… there?"
Just pointing at the paper on the wall and staying put feels a bit like a backhanded insult, but it's as far as you can bring yourself without getting awkward. You just want to keep a bit of distance …is that so wrong?
>"Oh… Thanks!" Koda says, standing up and walking towards it before turning to look at you one more time. "Uhm…Have a nice morning, Walker."
"Will do!" You immediately reply, saluting with a smile. Always nervous but kind, you can't recall ever refusing a request of his even while making you feel equally on edge. Weird.
It's not to escape that distressing line of thought at all, just continuing your morning greetings, that you return your full attention to the classroom's large door.
