Everyone says he doesn’t talk. That means he’s dumb.” Sihon shifted to rest both elbows on the shadow’s desk as he waited. “Mean too, from what I hear. You’d be better off finding another seat next class, darko.”The shadow smacked his friend’s head with his note papers before hopping down from his desk. “I wouldn’t have had to if you’d let me sit with you.”“There weren’t any empty desks!
