Karmic Exam Benchmate

Karmic Exam Benchmate

The first meeting

I crossed paths with Shikahiko during our annual exams and we were arranged to sit next to each other in the same bench. Along with us, there was a girl who sat with us. She was a year younger than me and three years younger than Shikahiko, who sat in the corner by the wall and beside me.
We were writing our exam and then after the exam ended.

(went outside the classroom to bring my backpack and then came back into the classroom holding my backpack then I made eye contact with Shikahiko and saw him for the first time)
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
(when he was sitting beside me I didn't turned my head towards him to peek at him and see his face so it was my first time seeing his face after I came to the classroom holding my backpack)
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
(the moment I saw his eyes I felt strongly that I knew him and I saw him before but I was also damn sure that I haven't seen him ever but his eyes looked very familiar and I was very physically attracted to him the moment I made eye contact with him, his eyes were mesmerizing)
when we meet our karmics for the first time we feel a strong sense of familiarity towards them
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
(I came near my seat and I saw him sitting *as he was sitting in the corner of the bench in which I sat* and I had to go through somewhere and I looked around to see if there is any space through which I can get through to my seat but didn't found any)
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
Can you move aside?
Shikahiko (ML)
Shikahiko (ML)
(shifted slightly to accommodate me)
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
(I was left feeling embarrassed because I had to awkwardly pass between his legs as there wasn't any space to get to my seat from behind)
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
Can you move aside a bit more?

The next day
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
(I was determined not to pass by in the same awkward manner, so I attempted to squeeze through a gap behind our bench. However, it turned out to be too small for me)
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
I muttered, "There's not enough space for me to pass through." (surprising he heard it)
Shikahiko (ML)
Shikahiko (ML)
(I stood up and pulled the bench, widening the gap)
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
(It was a kind gesture, and I couldn't help but smile, thinking what a gentleman he was)

Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
(When he called out "Shuchuu Saikia," which is actually my name with Shikahiko's surname, I was taken aback)
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
Confused, I replied, "Yeah,"
Shikahiko (ML)
Shikahiko (ML)
(heard it and laughed) Shuchuu (said my name jokingly but didn't said it while facing me but he said it while looking at a different direction from me)
Shikahiko actually heard my name for the first time and got to know my name after our teacher called me.
There's another guy in M's grade with a name similar to mine.
Shuchuu (FL)
Shuchuu (FL)
(I got embarassed and shy about the whole incident and I couldn't stop smiling cause when I get shy I just couldn't stop smiling. I glanced over at the girl beside me, pretending to admire her drawing and I showed as if I am smiling because of it)
Shikahiko (ML)
Shikahiko (ML)
(looked in my direction through the window, catching me smiling)
M's exams finished the day before our second last exam (27.02.23), but I only found out after my dad mentioned it to me once our second last exam ended.
Our school nun entered the classroom.

Then a school staff member came and asked me to come to his office with my father after the end of exam and everyone was staring at me and he was also staring at me.
