The new(hot) guy at school

After catching my breath, I managed to nod.
“Hi I’m Devon,” he said smiling kindly. He had a nice smile, his teeth were perfect.
“and you are. . . ?”
Great, I thought,now i’m a total idiot who doesn’t know her name.
“Mia,” I answered taking back my books.
“Are those kids always like that?” he was obviously new here.
“Yeah, they’re the ‘popular’ kids.” I said, feeling my face turn candy-apple red.
“So,” I began turning a little,”I guess I’ll see you around.”
“Yeah,” he said “oh, before you go, where’s history,Mrs.Tailberg?”
I pointed down the hall”Down there, then turn right, it’s the first door on the lrft,”
“Thanks”
I watched him walk away, getting smaller,
then he finally turned.
