Text to Jean-Paul

Oh my goodness--Kyle is the new art teacher? I wish I took his class!

[om_aurora]

Oh, I cannot believe it--I thought someone must have told you both. He must not know we are here, yet!

We have new teachers. There cannot be more than one Kyle Jinadu who is qualified to be our art teacher, can there?

[om_northstar]

What the hell are they thinking?!

[om_aurora]

I think it's wonderful. He will not tell anyone, Jean-Paul. He loves you!

[om_northstar]

It's not...it's not that. I know he won't. Kyle's a good guy. I just don't want him HERE if things go bad.

[om_aurora]

He is a grown man! If he wants to help, why shouldn't he?

[om_northstar]

Why him? The headmasters had to go looking for him -- they couldn't have missed that he's connected to us. To me. And then they didn't even let me know!

[om_aurora]

You think that they asked him to teach here BECAUSE he is your friend? If Kyle knew, he would have emailed you, surely.

[om_northstar]

Maybe he wanted to tell me face-to-face. I don't know! But it's too much of a coincidence.

[om_aurora]

Do not panic before you even speak to Kyle.

Also, when is this season over? It is impossible to hug you when you are this far away, you know.

[om_northstar]

This is not panic. This is intense suspicion. The next thing you know, they will have Raymonde teaching Home Ec.

The weather has been indecisive. I'm thinking I'll be out of luck when it comes to anything within driving range by the second week of March. Maybe I'll fly to one or two major meets, but nothing like I'm doing now.

[om_aurora]

Your version of panic IS intense suspicion.

You know I love you more than anything, but perhaps you are incidental to Xavier's plans? I will go and ask him what he is up to right now.

[om_northstar]

Fine, but if I get back to the school and you do not remember us having this conversation, I am going to punch him in the head. No questions asked.

[om_aurora]

That seems fair. I will tell you if I find anything out!
