The bell rings and all the teachers starts getting up collecting their trash to throw away. Tim looks up at them not knowing what was going on.

Avi noticed his confused look and pats him on the back.

"The bell just rung. Come on, I'll show you where your class is. It's right next door to mine." Avi smiles.

"How convenient." Mitch mumbles under his breath.

Avi and Tim walks up the hallway receiving looks and stares from students, wondering who the guy was with Mr. Kaplan.

Tim's eyes darted around the hallway. He noticed several of the female students saying, "Good morning Mr. Kaplan" with flirtatious smiles.

Tim smiles leaning over to Avi. "I sense that you are a fan favorite with the female students here."

"Yea, I guess. But if they only knew." Avi said raising his eyebrows smiling up at Tim.

Before Tim could reply, Avi said "Well, here's your room. If you need anything, my room is right there." He said point to the classroom next door. "Don't be afraid to ask."

Tim smiles and nods. "Thanks Avi."

Avi backs toward his own class room. "Anytime." He gives a flirty smile, biting his bottom lip then disappears in his classroom.

Tim stands in the hallway for a few seconds staring at the Math room door. He smiles and nods, "Yep, he was definitely flirting." He mumbles to himself.

He takes a deep breath and steps into his class room closing the door behind him. He gave a sigh of relief to see that he only had 9 students. All 9 were females. The girls sat quietly staring at him.

"Good morning. As you probably know Mr. Cash retired last year, so now you're stuck with me." He smiles as the girls giggles.

"My name is Tim Foust and I'm originally from Texas." He sits down on his desk and glances around the classroom.

"First, I would like to do a little rearranging. I would like everyone to move your desk to form a straight line in front of me. That way everybody will have a clear view of what I'm saying. But please do it quietly, I know we can't hear it but we don't want to disrupt the class next door."

The girls began moving their desk as they were told. They liked the idea, they weren't having to look around someone to see.  Tim reached behind him on his desk picking up the list of names on his list. He waited until they all got settled.

"Alright, I will start out by telling you a little bit about myself. Then as I call each of your names, I'd like to know a little about you. Is that alright?" Tim said.

The girls all nod and leans forward on their desk, curious to know more about their new teacher.

He tells the girls just simple information. Things like, where he was from, his age was 34, how German Measles took his hearing when he was 10 years old. How he was made fun of a lot when he was younger because of his disability. And how he had always wanted to be a teacher and worked his butt off to be able to be sitting in front of them.

When he was through, he picked up the list of names. As he called their name, each girl would raise their hand then tell him a little about themselves. There was: Katie, Alex, Jenna, Mary, Connie, Morgan, Kay, Sydney and Makayla.

When the last girl was through, Tim nods and smiles. "I'm very pleased to meet you young ladies. And as much as I would love to just sit here and chat. I don't get paid for that, I get paid to teach. Alright, any questions before we get started?"

Katie shyly raises her hand.

"Yes, Katie?" Tim ask with a smile.

"Uh... Are you single?" She asked receiving a few giggles from her classmates.

These 9 girls would soon be known around school as FOUST'S GIRLS.
