"I see you keep looking at your teaching assistant over there," Gert, a science teacher and a woman probably as old as this school, says to me. Her eyes are fixed on Mr. Taylor's form across the field. "He's a very handsome man, Levi. You should go talk to him."

My head whips towards her, brows clenched together. "Gert, what are you -- heck no. There is no chance in the world that I could ever enjoy Mr. Taylor's company. The boys have found a friend in him and an excuse to be immature, and the girls are distracted by him. He's just so...so...I don't even know. Frustrating is one word, but I don't think it accurately captures how I feel."

She smiles at me knowingly. "I think you're more fond of him than you would care to admit."
