Your movements are interrupting me

I just follow the seatplan,
but a friend of mine suddenly chose to sit on mine.
On the chair and table I always sit on, 
to just do what needs to be done.
I looked right, 
seeing him sitting there and the chair next to him being empty.
Is it going to be weird if I ask her if we could've swept seats?
Will I start it with a joke? 
Or will I drop the truth?
I couldn't settle my mind, 
it's processing slowly.
I didn't even look left if there next to my friend were chairs avaible.
So I just dropped my backpack under the table and sat next to him.
I didn't put my school equipment to the side because of him, 
my heart wasn't beating anymore, 
and I didn't feel the need to cry anymore.
I looked to the side sometimes when he wrote loudly on his i-pad, 
but I felt nothing sitting there.

When he comes I push my chair aside, 
take my bag which fell infront of him, 
and answer with a nodd.

Because he wouldn't pick it up,
Because I still want to handle it respectful, 
because I want to keep it short.

I skip your leg and don't wait for your response.
