hair on the back of my neck standing straight up.
    Tyler chuckled and shook his head. “No, I wouldn’t be walking around during the day, now would I?”
    “I don’t know. That popular movie with the vampires and werewolves competing for the girl, all of those guys did just fine in the daylight.”
    He smiled. “That’s fiction, Kendra. I can assure you that if I was a real vampire, I’d disintegrate as soon as my skin was exposed to the sun.”
    He was so matter-of-fact that I was afraid to ask him any more questions. Either he was completely bonkers, or I was. Or, it really was just one big, fat, crazy-assed dream.
    Sighing to myself, I muddled these things through my mind as we walked into our math class and sat across from each other.
    “My name is Ms. Byrd,” said the teacher after calling the attendance. “I take this class very seriously, so there will be no talking when I’m talking, no passing notes around, and absolutely no cell phones allowed. If you have one, and I see it out of your pocket or purse, I will keep it until the end of the day.”
    This really irritated some of the other students who normally couldn’t keep their hands off of their phones. It did nothing for me, however, as I didn’t have a cell phone; my mom wouldn’t even allow them in the house, which really sucked being a senior in high school.
    “Also, no sunglasses,” remarked Ms. B yrd, staring directly at Tyler.
    He slipped them off, and I held my breath. When his eyes were exposed, the teacher paused for a moment, clearly unprepared for such an intense unveiling.
    I smiled. It was really starting to amuse me – everyone’s reaction to Tyler’s piercing green eyes. It also took any unwanted attention off of me.
    “Um, well then,” she said, clearing her throat after regaining her composure. “Everyone, open your math books to page five.”
    During class, I no ticed the teacher staring at Tyler curiously when she didn’t think anyone was paying much attention. I also sensed, without a doubt, that he was very much aware of her interest.
    When class was over, Tyl er sprang out of his seat and took off without a second glance.
    Sighing, I grabbed my stuff and followed the other students out the door, wondering if Tyler was actually going back to his home planet. The idea of him being an alien wasn’t too far off the grid, especially with that mind control thing of his.
    “Hey,” said Tyler when I stepped out of the classroom.
    I was surprised and slightly giddy to find him waiting for me in the hallway. His sunglasses were back and the warm vanilla scent engulfed me once again.
    “Hey,” I answered , biting my lip to keep from smiling like a dope.
    Just then, Ms. Byrd stepped out of the classroom and looked like she was about to approach us, which for some reason, didn’t seem to sit very well with him.
    “Well, ” he said with a hint of irritation. “See you in English class.”
    “Uh, okay,” I said, as he took off, obviously trying to avoid Ms. Byrd.
    I glanced at the teacher and wondered why she’d freaked him out so much. She gave me a polite smile and then stepped back into the classroom without saying a word.
    And how did he know we shared an English class at the end of the day?
    I began to wonder if he’d somehow gotten ahold of my schedule.
    “Is that your boyfriend?” asked Amy breathlessly. She’d been in the classroom, too, and had stared at Tyler for most of the hour.
    I shook my head. “No, I just met him today.”
    “He’s a little different, but … so cute,” gushed Amy with a dreamy expression on her face as she walked away.
    My next period was a health class and I had to sit at a table with three other students. I’d heard that we’d be starting a cooking series, and although I’d been really excited about it during the summer, when I saw who I was grouped with, my enthusiasm quickly died.
    “Hi, Kendra,” smiled Hailey Bates. She was also one of the most popular students in the
