feel bad over telling about that one.  After all, Raziel had said that the teacher had sent notes home before.
                  Michael just laughed.  “That one doesn’t surprise me.  I’ll bet a letter is waiting for Raphael in the next few days once again.” He said.
                  “Raziel says it’s boring, so he just sleeps there.  I guess it’s not the most exciting class, especially with Miss Harris teaching.” I said.
                  “I’m sure the old woman can’t stand having our children in that class.  She didn’t like me or Raphael either.  We never slept through her classes, but we certainly didn’t do what we should have.” Michael admitted.
                  “She’s too monotone.  I was about to go to sleep with him at one point too.” I said.
                  “Some things never change.” Michael said, sighing to himself.  “Anything else interesting today?”
                  I almost felt like there was a double meaning behind that question, though I couldn’t tell what.  But I debated on telling him the whole truth about what had happened.  “Well, Raziel ran late this morning and I met someone who offered to show me around.” I said, hoping to maybe do a roundabout on the subject.
                  “Really?  Who was it?” Michael asked, looking curious.
                  “Sean Morrison.” I said, hoping I sounded normal enough.
                  Michael looked rather thoughtful at that one.  “Sean Morrison.  Well, there’s a surprise.  I wasn’t even aware he was back yet.” He said.
                  “Really?  Was he out of town?” I asked.
                  “Yes.  Sean sometimes goes to visit his father from what I know.  His mother Sara works for me.  She’s the manager of one of my shops.” Michael explained.
                  “I see.” I said.  This was a real eye opener.  Raziel’s words about Sean’s mom made a little bit of sense now.  “Are they new around here?  I don‘t remember seeing him last summer.”
                  Michael shrugged.  “They’ve been here since the end of September.  Sara actually came to Raphael when she was looking for a job, but I was the one who hired her.  Sean’s a nice boy too, though he’s a bit reserved most of the time.  Tell me, what did you think of him?”
                  How can he ask me that? I thought.  But I still swallowed the lump threatening to form in my throat.  “He seemed really nice.  But I don’t think Raziel really likes him.” I admitted.
                  “I wouldn’t worry too much about that.  Raziel tends to be jealous of Sean Morrison when it comes down to it.  I think you’ll come to know that soon enough.” Michael replied.
                  “Jealous?” I repeated.
                  “Yes.  Raziel was the most popular before Sean came here.  I’m sure you’ve noticed that he could attract a lot of attention as well.  Raziel just feels like his toes have been stepped on some.  Not to mention that Sean tends to top him in just about everything academic.  Though if Raziel applied himself more, that might change.” Michael explained.
                  “I see.” I said. Really, it did make sense when it was put that way.  Raziel did like attention.  So I decided to just let it all go for the time being.  It would probably just become normal in the next few weeks.
                  I found myself thinking that as I took my shower that night.  In fact, I was determined that come the next day, I would walk into that school without even thinking anymore about it.  After finishing up, I decided to get ready for bed.  By then, it was nearly ten.  Walking to my door, I called out a good night to Michael downstairs, then moved to climb in
