A group of guys and a girl, some carried instruments, stared after us as we walked by.
Jonathon smiled down at me, this time he looked genuinely pleased, instead of stiff and forced.
“It’s nice to finally have you Kylie, even though I know that is an understatement.”
“I feel like I’ve waited all my life for you.” I whispered back.
“At least you didn’t wait over six hundred years.” He whispered back, his lips cold against my ear. A tingle of pleasure ran down my spine. I hoped he didn’t notice.
“That is true, I didn’t have to wait that long.”
I saw some girls shoot me jealous looks. Some looked surprised. Either they thought I wasn’t good enough for Jonathon or they had never seen him with a girl except his sister or he’d turned down all of them maybe it was a combination.
We walked to our first class together and sat down. Jonathon continued to hold my hand under the table. Mr. O’ Connell came over to us.
“Here’s the work you missed.” He said handing us both a couple of papers.
“Thank you.” I said.
“Yes, thank you,” said Jonathon.
“You’re welcome,” said Mr. O’ Connell. He bent down to me. “I hope your mom is okay.” He said. I tried not to squirm or show my left arm.
“She’s doing better. But it’ll be a while before she’s herself again.” I said completely lying. I’m not a very good liar. I usually laugh when I lie.
“Yes, well I’m sorry this had to happen.” He continued.
“I appreciate your sympathy.” I said to Mr. O’Connell. He walked back to his desk at the front of the classroom.
English class flew by in a blur. Jonathon walked me to science, kissing me on the forehead before he left. I blushed and went into the classroom taking my seat next to the guy I had seen holding the guitar case this morning.
Ms. Cappet was at my side with work.
“We, just took notes yesterday, so you can get them from Isaac I’m sorry about your mom.” She added handing me the papers.
“Thanks.” I said, even though if this was going to happen all day I was going to get sick of it.
I turned to the guy next to me.
“You must be Isaac. I’m Kylie.” I said.
“Yep. I’m Isaac here’s the notes from yesterday. Take them quickly we’re doing a lab today. We’re partners so you won’t be completely lost. Although I’m not that good at science so I guess you’re screwed,” He grinned at me.
“Okay.” I said laughing and taking the notes from him. He had a British accent.
I copied them quickly.
“So, are from the UK?” I asked.
“Yeah, I’ve lived here three years with my grandma. My parents decided I was too much of a trouble maker and shipped me here.”
“What did you do?” I asked hoping it wasn’t too bad.
“Nothing to awful. My parents just hate to be contradicted I told them they were bloody idiots and the rest I will not repeat.”
I laughed.
“Okay class, get with your partners. This shouldn’t be so hard since you sit next to them,” Ms. Cappet said clapping her hands.
