She glances at the classroom and asks them to seat where they want to.
Aaliyah sat at a vacant seat beside a boy who is beside nana and Rachel’s desk.
Jabal glance at the classroom tapping his fingers on his lap. He finally went to seat beside Alicia.
He likes the position of the desk that is why he choose to seat there.
