Tanya jumped when she shut her locker and found Kan behind the door.

“Are we still on for tonight?” he asked.

“Yeah,” Tanya replied.

“Ok, then, see you at 6:30.” Kan pushed himself away from the lockers and strode down the hallway.

Ashley and Sarah came up behind Tanya.

“Way to go, Tanya!” Sarah said loudly.

“Hooking the hottest guy in school, who lives with, I might add, the hottest teacher of the school,” Ashley cut in.

Tanya shuddered. “Truth be told, Mr. Mandala kind of creeps me out,” she admitted.

“Why?” Ashley and Sarah asked simultaneously.

“I don't know. Something about the way he always dresses in black, and his hair is always slicked back,” Tanya told them.

“Maybe that's why he's so attractive,” Sarah said, “Everything about him is black, right down to his eyes.”

“Except his skin, which is snow white.” Ashley and Sarah stared into space with comically dreamy eyes and sighed.

“Guys, don't,” Tanya protested.

“Sorry, Tanya,” Ashley apologized.

“Yeah, sorry,” Sarah seconded.

“Mmm, it's all right,” Tanya told them.

“So where are you two going?” Ashley asked.

“He's taking me to a movie tonight,” Tanya replied.

“You seem calm about it,” Sarah remarked.

“You should be excited,” Ashley told her. “Especially since it's your first date ever.”

“Gee, I wonder why,” Tanya said sarcastically.

“Gasp!” Ashley exclaimed, equally sarcastic. “You've been saving yourself for Kan! Now I see!”

Tanya pushed Ashley forward. “Guys, I don't want a big deal made out of this, please,” she pleaded. “Not yet, anyways.”

“We won't,” they promised.


“Don’t do it, Kan.”

Kan ignored Jaya.

“I’m serious, don’t do it.”

“You know, Jaya, I think I know why Tanya turned you down,” Kan told his friend.

“Why is that, Kan?”

“You’re annoying.” Kan put on his jacket and tried to move past Jaya, who was blocking the door.

“Why shouldn’t I do it?” Kan asked him, sighing.

“What if it goes too far?” Jaya asked. “What if you find you can't resist her aura and take it?”

“I have more self control than that,” Kan said. He tried again to push past Jaya.

“But what if?” Jaya persisted.

Kan sighed. “I already told Ver, I'll deal with it.”

Jaya allowed himself to be pushed aside.
