I first met her when I arrived for a staff meeting, three days before the start of the new school year. We arrived at the door to the conference room at the same time and our eyes met.

CHAPTER FOUR The rest of dinner went smoothly, and the conversation was even better. It was either because I was feeling more comfortable with him or the three glasses of wine (which Alex had poured without asking me) had done the trick. I teased him a little, asked if he was trying to get me drunk. He never denied it. I hadn't immediately realized that t...
I, at birth known as Caballero Spscavish, am going to be honest about my strengths and weaknesses right from the get-go. I'm good looking, purposeful, and smart. I'm socially inept (I'm probably somewhere on the autism spectrum but have never been diagnosed), completely un-athletic, and have a penchant for vengeance that isn't healthy. Because of my socia...
