"Hoot," Alice replied."Damn straight. Not to mention it's quiet and you can watch those naughty shows of yours."
I turned around to hide my embarrassment.
You're not supposed to say anything to ANYONE about my porn, alright?! Or I'm showing Mom where your hentai collection is.
"HOOT?!" Alice fluttered off my shoulder to land on my head and began poking it."DON'T YOU DARE! I’ll reveal all your secrets!"
"What kind of familiar are you?! Ugh! Okay! Stop poking me. It's too early for this shit," I grumbled sternly.
I turned back to Logan and Nixon who still looked to be in shitty moods but at least their faces had returned to perfection so people wouldn't ask why they looked scratched up.
"Wait, you kissed Nixon?" Logan asked me, raising an eyebrow.
My gold eyes met his as I ruffled my short tresses.
I'd removed the purple highlights from last night and left the red ones.
"Yes," I replied and began walking down the street towards the main road.
I heard them follow a few steps behind and slid my hands into my pockets. As much as I wanted to think about the moment my lips met Nixon's, I set the memory aside, not wanting to walk around campus with a boner.
Totally inappropriate but might make me an internet sensation with all the media attention this school gets.
I was wearing the school uniform, black dress pants, white t-shirt and my red blazer.
They were delivered to us about an hour ago, ironed and all. I guess when you lived on Spellbound Road, everything was aimed to be perfect.
I slowed my pace so Logan and Nixon could catch up. Nixon passed me and continued a few steps ahead; Alice left my shoulder to land on his, leaving Logan and I to walk side by side.
I may have been blind to males making advances on me, but I knew Nixon was purposely walking faster to give me and Logan a moment alone.
Brownie points for Nixon.
"Why did you two kiss? Or was it just an in the moment kind of thing?" Logan asked, his voice low.
He didn't sound upset. I turned my gaze to look at him.
The gold blazer he wore had black trimming, unlike mine that was red with gold trimming. I looked back to Nixon whose blazer was red like mine but with black trimming. All three of our blazers had the BRIGHTEN MAGIC ACADEMY crest on the back.
The symbol was a magic circle with a sun in the middle, and a half moon shape on the top left side. The main circle was a light blue and the same symbol in different colors overlapped the bottom half. The four remaining colors were gold, red, purple, and green.
Our school name was written along the top half of the circle in a gold that shifted between bright gold and a dark brown.
I realized I hadn't answered Logan's question so I turned my attention back to him.
"Some dudes were trying to bully him, saying he was gay. They asked where his boyfriend was and I stepped up to bail him out," I gave a shortened account of what happened.
"Hmm. So you had to kiss him?" He turned to look at me as we both came to a stop.
"Yes. To prove a point," I concluded.
"Did you like it?" Logan questioned.
I took a minute to answer, having to consider whether I truly enjoyed it.
"Yes," I replied confidently even though inside I was trying not to freak out.
I still didn't understand why, but as a male, I felt I had to maintain a calm, cool persona, even though that was the total opposite of how I felt in the moment.
