As I near my classroom my mind goes back to Kai. For the first time I'm hoping he isn't here yet. I am not ready to face him yet. Or ever. I wish we both could just erase the memory of Friday.
However, when I remember the moment, I don't want to let it go. I want to cherish it forever. Even though I have kissed before, this felt so different and new. I might as well call it my first real kiss.
I take tentative steps inside the classroom and sigh in relief at the absence of Kai. I put on a forced smile for the kids and take my seat. I quickly start my class and find myself getting distracted from the matter at hand.
Although, it doesn't last long and I'm struck with it in full force. I stop short at the door as I spot Kai at the window of my next class. He looks up from his phone on hea
