The Wright One

ISABELLE

The rest of the week goes fine. Mr. Saxon is still an ass, but I overlook it. Luna and Kyle seem to be together now. He walks her to school in the morning, even though he doesn’t need to be here and she goes to his practices after school. It’s nice to see. He treats her like a princess now, which from what I understand is a huge improvement over how he treated her before.

Like right now he is walking her into class, holding the door open for her and giving her a light kiss on the forehead. She blushes but doesn’t push him away. She even leans into him a little bit.

He waves to me. “Hey, Ms. Wright. How goes it?”

“Fine Kyle. How are you?”

He shrugs. “Can’t complain. Actually, really good. You know, yesterday Mr. Saxon was talking about you.” It seems like he is quickly trying to change the subject to one that I am not really interested in hearing. He seems to have a twinkle in his eye as he says it.

Luna puts her hand over his mouth. “It was nothing.”

I roll my eyes. “I am sure it was less than flattering. It’s fine.” I return to my computer.

Luna moves her hand and Kyle keeps talking. “Actually it was flattering. He said that he thought you were very pretty and that you might make a good teacher after all.”

I turn to look at him. Obviously confused. “What did you just say? I’m not sure I heard you correctly.”

Luna gasps. “Kyle, we weren’t supposed to say anything.”

He just shrugs. “What? He should tell her himself. If he thinks she’s hot then he should tell her.” Kyle rests his hand on Luna’s hip. “I’m just letting her know that he is talking about her.”

I shake my head. “I am very certain that you are mistaken.” There is no way that Alex Saxon is saying that about me.

Nathon laughs from his desk. Which is a little odd for him. Usually he is a quiet one in my class. “No, I heard Mr. Saxon say that too. He thinks you are hot.”

Kyle grins. “See, I’m not mistaken.”

I look at both boys in shock. Then I turned to Luna, she wouldn’t lie to me. Only she has her head buried in Kyle’s chest. I shake my head. “I think he was just pulling your guys’ legs. He wouldn’t think that about me. He hates me.”

Luna turns her head back. “Maybe he doesn’t hate you as much as you think.”

Kyle kisses her forehead again. “Ok, well, I have got to get going. I have work. I’ll see you all later.” He grins and leaves the room.

I sigh, shaking my head. I have no idea what is going on but there is no way that Alex Sexon said anything nice about me. He hasn’t said one nice word to me since I started on Monday. I doubt the week has changed him much. I mean sure it would be nice if a guy as hot as Alex was interested in me. Problem is, I wouldn’t be able to get past the personality. He would try to put me down all the time and that is not the type of relationship that I would want to be in.

I redirect my attention to my class. Still there are points when I think about what Kyle said. Does he really think that about me?
