Tim laughed and shook his head. "Umm... To answer your question, Katie. Yes.. Yes I am single."

All the girls stared at him just dying to ask questions. 'Why do I feel like I'm fixing to get dissected?', he thought to himself.

"I'm almost afraid to ask but are there any more questions?" Tim ask looking at the girls.

Kay held her hand up. "Kay? You have a question?" Tim ask.

"Yea, ummm, are you gay?" She ask as all the other girls waited for an answer.

Tim chuckles nervously, should he even be having this conversation with his students. "Kay, that's kind of a personal question."

"Well, you're 34 years old and single. So you're either divorced or gay." Morgan joins the conversation.

"What makes you think that? Maybe I just hadn't found the right partner yet." Tim tries to defend himself.

"There you go girls, he just answered the question. The key word: partner. He's gay or bi." Jenna said with a nod.

Tim closes his eyes and rubs his forehead. Man, these girls are tricky.

"Alright, I am gay. But please ladies, let's keep it to ourselves alright." Tim said.

"That's O.K., Mr. Foust. We still love you, even though you did just bring all our hearts." Mary said with a laugh.

"Alright, that's enough dissecting Mr. Foust, let's get this class started." Tim said reaching behind him for the English book. But his attention was caught by Katie waving at him and pointing at the door.

The doors to each class room automatically lock when closed, only the teacher's can open the doors with special cards that they swipe in front of a small scanner. This was to protect the students in case of a shooting.

Tim looks toward the door to see a student waiting. He glances back at his students to see if they knew her.

"She belongs in here." Makayla answers. Tim nods and heads for the door.

"I'm so sorry I'm late. My mom had a flat on her car this morning." She explained as he open the door. She hands him an admission slip from the office.

He nods, "Pull you a desk up beside Sydney." He waits until she gets settled then introduces himself. "I'm Mr. Foust and you are?"

"Kato. Everyone just calls me Kato." She smiles.

Tim shrugs, "O.K., Kato it is."

The rest of the morning went without interruptions. It was about 30 minutes till lunch and Tim had given the girls a couple of chapters of history to read before lunch.

He sat in his chair with his feet propped up on his desk. Also reading the chapters, taking notes. He felt as if he was being watched, he glanced up to see Katie watching him over her glasses. She quickly looked back down at her book.

Tim smiled and shook his head. He started to look down at his book when something caught his eyes. He put this feet back down on the floor and leaned on his desk, crossing his arms. Yep he was right.

Alex and Jenna were both on their cell phones. They had the phones hid in their laps. Tim sat and watched them for a good three minutes before Alex finally glanced up and saw that they were being watched. She slowly reached and patted Jenna on the arm and pointed to Mr. Foust.

Tim smiled at them. "Facebook?" The girls shook their heads. "Twitter?" Again they shook their head. "Texting." Jenna said.

Tim nods. "Well, let's hope who ever you're texting, know the answers to the quiz I'm giving after lunch." He says with a smile.
