For days, I kicked myself for how stupid I’d been to stumble away without further explanation. I daydreamed about that brief kiss, wanting more. How was it possible some hottie who looked like a fashion model was interested in me? It was a little too good to be true.

Of course it was too good to be true.

Even if my affinity hadn’t wanted to kill me every time I kissed a man, I wasn’t allowed to date. Jeb had forbidden me from romantic relationships. I would not date Julian, I told myself. I wanted to keep my job.

Over the next two weeks, I struggled to keep up with my reading, creating new lesson plans that implemented study skills and literacy strategies, and grading an endless supply of papers. I went on another “undate” with Julian. We took a stroll in the woods behind the school, looking for a stick that would make a suitable wand so I might focus my powers.

The more time I spent with Julian, the more I liked him. He gave me something to look forward to each day.

Yet, there was this hesitancy inside me, a fear I would mess it all up. I couldn’t stop thinking about all the weird things that had happened to my ex-boyfriends. Maybe it would be different if I had a Witchkin boyfriend.

Then I remembered the plant. I did not want to electrocute Julian. Or anyone else.

Julian didn’t bring up the kiss or try to kiss me while we were on the outing looking for a wand. I worried he might think I disliked him.

The moment I started to broach the subject, my evil roommate showed up and flirted with Julian. Only weeks before, Vega had said there was no one at our school worth dating. He tolerated her presence with polite professionalism, all the while sneaking embarrassed glances at me.

I didn’t even get a wand out of the excursion.

Julian found excuses to visit my room during the day while he had his prep. He talked to the kids about their art, and he gave helpful suggestions to students. It was nice to have a friend.

After Julian left one morning, one of the boys complained, “Ugh, History of Magic is the most boring class in the world.”

“No way. Nothing is boring when I get to see Mr. Thistledown teach. He is hot!” one of the girls giggled.

I couldn’t disagree. The boys groaned and rolled their eyes.

After school, Julian brought me cookies and used spells to hang up more art posters and a couple framed drawings of my art in my classroom that my mom had sent me in my most recent box.

It would have felt like a date as Julian and I sat in my classroom, eating cookies and talking about our next excursion to look for a wand if Felix Thatch hadn’t slithered out of my closet, frown on his face. “My my, I didn’t think the room could get any more sappy and insipid. Then Mr. Thistledown graced us with his presence.
