We arrive in my fathers class, Maya and Riley in the front row, Lucas and Farkle in the second row, and me behind Farkle in the third.

My father arrives in the classroom just before the bell rings.
"So I see everyone is here," He says, placing his black briefcase on his desk.

"Well, hello everyone, my name is Jack Hunter and I am a new teacher in this school, I would appreciate some respect, even though I know everyone hates math," He says with a chuckle.

"Wait a sec," Maya says standing up.
"Yes Maya?" He asks.
"Your...Jack Hunter?" Maya asks.

My father nods.

"You know Shawn Hunter?" Maya says.
Who the heck is Shawn Hunter?

"Uh, yes I do, Maya..sit down," My father says awkwardly.

He starts teaching the lesson, but all I can think about is, Who is Shawn Hunter?

-

When the bell rings and math is over, I run up to Maya and ask, "Who is Shawn Hunter?" I ask her quickly.

"He's my uncle," Riley says.
I look at her confused.
"Not literally, but he and my dad grew up together."

I nod my head.
"Maya how do you know him?"
Her and Riley exchange glances and goofy smiles.
"He took my mom out on a date," Maya finally says.
I nod and gather up all of this information.

They walk out of class and then it's only my father and I.
"Dad?" I ask.
He looks at me, "Yeah?"
"Who is Shawn?"

My dads face turns pale and he looks away.
"No one, you don't need to worry about him," He says before getting up.
"Fine, I'll just go ask Mr. Matthews," I say before leaving.

At the end of the day, I storm angrily into Mr. Matthews classroom, dying for information.
I run in, placing my hands on his desk and looking him in the eye.

"Spill," I order.
"Whoa whoa whoa," He starts, sitting back in his chair.
"What about?"

"I need to know who Shawn Hunter is," I say with hesitation.

"Uhh, I don't think your dad wants you to know about him," Mr. Matthews says.

"I need to know," I argue.
"Wait, how do you know that my dad doesn't want me to know?"

"He told me."

I throw my hands up in the air and groan in frustration.
I storm out the door, only to run into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry," I say, taking a step back.

The man had brown hair, brown facial hair, and was wearing a grey hoodie, black shirt and a pair of blue jeans.

"It's alright, I ran into you," He says with a chuckle.

I nod.
"Alrighty, Maddie, I think it's time for you to go, move along," Mr. Matthews says, ushering me out of the room.
"Wait, what's your name?" I ask the man.

"Oh I'm Shawn," He says.

"Okay Enough!!!" Mr. Matthews freaks out before pushing me out into the hallway, and running back into the classroom.
"What was that all about?" Riley asks me.
"Umm, I'm not to sure," I sigh.
I sit down next to Maya on the bench and hold my head in my hands.

"What a crazy first day this has been," I mumble.

A few minutes later, the man, Shawn walks out of the classroom.
"Okay, Maya, your mom has asked me to pick you up, so let's go," He says.

Maya jumps up from her seat and follows Shawn out the door.

"Riley?" I ask, watching Shawn and Maya leave the building.
"Yeah?"
"Does Shawn usually come to your house?" I ask, still looking at them.
"Yeah, why?"

"Can I come over?"
