"Alright ladies, we have about 5 minutes till lunch. I want you all to pay attention to me for a minute. As much as I hate too, I have to make rules. If any of you are caught on your cell phones during class, your phones will be taken away and you won't get them back until the end of the day. If this continues to be a problem, cell phones WILL BE BANNED from this class room. Do I make myself clear?" Tim said as he sat on top of his desk, looking at each one of his girls. They all nod.

He walks out into the empty hallway. He looks around and sees a bell on the wall by his class up near the ceiling. He lays his hand on the wall and waits.

Avi opens his class room door and steps out to see Tim and wonders to himself what he is doing. As the bell begins to ring, Tim reaches into his classroom and turns the lights off and on to signal the girls it was time for lunch.

Avi makes his way over to Tim and lays a hand on his back to get his attention. 

"Hey, Can I buy you lunch?" Avi ask.

"That's mighty nice of you to offer, but you don't have too." Tim said shaking his head.

"I know I don't, but I want too." Avi said smiling up at him.

"Well then, I accept." Tim smiles back at him as they head down stairs to the cafeteria. Once they got their food, they head over to the teacher's table and sat down.

"So how has it been so far?" Avi ask as they sat down.

"Good." Tim nods. "I think I have one student who has a crush on me and two that likes testing me too see how much they can get by with." Tim laughs. "But I like them. They're all sweet girls." He said glancing around at the table where all ten girls were seated, by themselves. 

Avi taps him on his arm, bringing Tim's attention back to their conversation.

"So you haven't had any problems?" Avi ask.

"No, none so far." Tim said taking a sip of his tea.

"Out of curiosity, Why where you standing in the hallway with your hand on the wall with your eyes closed?" Avi asked.

"Waiting for the bell to ring." Tim answered.

"But you can't hear it." Austin said from his seat across the table.

"No, but I can feel the vibration of the bell ringing in the wall." Tim answers with a shrug. "You might say, vibrations and sight are a deaf person's way of hearing."

"What about music? Can you listen to music?" Scott ask from his seat on the other side of Avi.

"Believe it or not, yes I do listen to music. I can't hear the words but the instruments sends off a lot of vibrations, especially the bass and drums." Tim said.

"You are one interesting person." Avi said smiling up at him.

"You just have to learn how to use the tools you have." He said looking around at Avi, not realizing how kinky his statement sounded until he noticed all the teachers had stopped eating and was looking at him.
