The rest of the class was silent, he kept to himself as if my presence was bothersome. I was happy when the bell rang and I jumped out of my seat quickly. He looked at me surprised by how quickly I was moving, before he could even question me I was at the door and exiting at a quick pace. He caught up with me in the hall, now he looked just curious. “What?â€? I said not even bothering to hide the annoyance in my voice.

He looked at me surprised and leaned close to me ear. “I know what you are.â€? His breath on my face made my head swim, his voice was still sweet, just like Angie’s. “Oh you do.â€? I said without interest turning to face him as kids made their way to their cars. “I can promise you don’t.â€? My voice wasn’t keeping the sweetness it should have but I didn’t care. His face took on a look of pure curiosity, every feature on his perfect face lit up.
