without Logan that is.
    Her social studies teacher, Mrs. Bradford, wasn’t very tall, her hair was brown and always put in a messy bun that fell to the side. She wore black framed glasses as quirky as Joshua’s. She had the most drawn-out, monotone voice you could imagine. Someone was bound to fall asleep.
    She took her time with everything she read. It was strange… the reactions most of the class had never failed to make Aira smile, mostly because Mrs. Bradford was too busy trying to make the class fall in love with even the most insignificant pieces of information to be aware of how actually boring and painful it could be. Despite that, everyone really loved her.
    Finally the lunch bell rang.
    Aira dropped her books off in her locker and walked to the loud and crowded cafeteria. She grabbed a tray and walked over to where the food was.
    Jaidas walked in with Harlem and Sara. They stayed by the door and waited while Jaidas walked over to Aira.
    “Babe, Sara forgot her gym stuff at home. I’m gonna take her and Harlem to get it.”
    “Okay,” Aira replied, picking at things to put on her tray. She didn’t really give him much attention. Her back was still turned towards Jaidas.
    “Hey...” Jaidas spoke softly, slowing turning her around to look at him. He removed the tray from her hands and put it down. He took both of his hands and placed them on each side of her hips giving her a look trying to get her to smile. “You look beautiful.” He moved his hand onto her cheek and then moved it behind her neck.
    His look was intense. He leaned in, slowly kissed her cheek, moved to the corner of her mouth, and then her lips.
    “Jaidas, let’s go!” Harlem hollered from the door.
    He looked over at Harlem, then he looked back at Aira.
    “We should do that more,” Jaidas smiled. Oh, that smile got him out of a lot of things.
    He quickly gave her one more kiss then walked away.
    “Hey,” she called to him.
    “Ya babe?” Jaidas turned around.
    “Is everything okay?”
    Jaidas walked back towards her. “Of course, what do you mean?”
    Aira didn’t want to seem overly obvious. “You seemed kind of different in class.”
    Jaidas’s face turned serious only for a second. “I don’t know,” he lightly laughed, “I’m fine.”
    He smiled then brushed her cheek with the back of his hand and walked away.
    Aira could feel something from him, but he made it impossible for her to pry any more than she was already trying to.
    Avery finally walked in, grabbed a tray and walked over to Aira.
    “Sorry, I was fighting with my lock, again. I swear to God every year they give me the same damn one. It’s like a conspiracy or something.”
    Aira smiled, grabbed an orange juice and waited for Avery to finish choosing her lunch. Aira’s attention quickly became very sharp as she turned around to look where they could sit and saw Israel sitting at a table by himself, reading.
    “Okay, I’m starving.” Avery walked over to a table across and a few tables away from Israel.
    Aira followed her and sat down.
    Her eyes wandered over his way. She didn’t want in any way to seem like it, but she was certainly very curious. Not only about Jaidas’s strange and out of character reaction towards him, but her own.
    He seemed very involved in what he was reading, only taking a bite of his lunch every once in a while.
    She twirled her fingers in her hair watching every one of his movements like they meant something, like they were important. He was fascinating to her.
    “Aira,” Avery spoke, trying to get Aira’s attention.
    “Ya?” she said looking back at Avery. She didn’t even know she had been staring.
    “What do you think?”
    “What do I think?” Aira had no idea what she was talking about.
    “About going swimming this weekend? What is going on with you? You’re totally out of it.” Avery laughed.
    “Nothing – I’m just tired, I guess. I haven’t really been sleeping very good lately.” Aira sat up a little
