Behind me, Haerin and Carissa ascended the staircase up to the third row, Leo and Magnus shortly following.
However... another interesting thing occurred.
The chair beside me suddenly buckled, being pulled out, yet when I looked up, I was not met with Ruby's face.
As she prepared to sit down, I sighed and looked up.
"Someone sits there."
A sharp answer immediatly following, assuming the tone of a king talking to a peasant.
"I know."
Taking a seat on the chair to my right, where Ruby usually sat, Serena simply propped her chin on her hand and gazed at me.
"You know, I can't wait!"
Purposely looking away and out the window to my left, I was about to ignore her when a softer and curious voice suddenly sounded behind the two of us.
"For...what?"
Confusedly gazing at her seat, which was now taken by Serena, Ruby glanced around for a few moments before deciding it was ultimately a better decision to sit next to Serena than look for another seat.
