Monday morning was not going well at all for Tim. He had stayed up late the night before getting things prepared for his classes today. Normally he would have had it already done but he had spent the entire week-end with Avi.
To make matters worse, he over slept 40 minutes and was not feeling well at all. But it wasn't like he could call in sick. He was the only teacher they had for that class.
He took a quick shower and got dressed as fast as he could. If he was lucky he could maybe get there at the time the bell rings.
He grabbed his brief case just when his phone vibrated with messages. He had two messages. Principal Braum: 'WHERE ARE YOU!!!' and the other from Avi: 'Babe, Where are you? Are you alright?'
He sent them both the same message: 'Sorry. Over slept. On my way!'
This was only his second week on the job, and already he was screwing up.
He drove up into his parking place. He jumps out of his jeep, locking it then started running toward the school. Just before he reaches the door, he realized that he had forgotten his case in the jeep. "SH*T!" He turns and runs back to his vehicle, unlocking it and grabs his case. And runs back to the door.
He has to dig his card out of his wallet to open the teacher entrance door.
He runs in and the hallway was already clearing which meant the bell had already rung. To add on to his bad luck, as he passed by the principal's office, Braum was standing in the doorway. He reaches out and grabs Tim's arm. "This had better NOT become a habit." He said sternly.
"I'm so sorry, Mr Braum. Truly sorry." Tim said, out of breath. He pulls out of Ben's grip and hurries toward his classroom.
The girls were waiting outside the locked classroom. Avi was waiting outside his room, looking for Tim. All with worry on their faces.
Tim unlocked the door with a shaky hand, letting the girls in. He looks around meeting Avi's worried eyes. "This has NOT been a good morning." He gives him a weary smile then walks into his classroom, closing the door behind him.
He sets his brief case on his desk and sits down in his chair. He rested his head in his hands. His head was pounding, his heart was pounding, He was really dizzy and couldn't catch his breath.
The girls looked at each other, wondering if they should go get somebody. They watched in horror as his breathing began to get worse.
"I think he's having a panic attack." Katy said.
"I'm getting Mr. Kaplan." Mary said jumping up from her desk and running toward the door.
All the other girls gets up to check on Mr. Foust.
Mary runs up to Avi's classroom, frantically beating on the door.
Avi jumps and looks around. He rushes to the door and opens it. "Mary, What's wrong?" Tim had told Avi that only two in his class could read lips and Mary was one of them.
"SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MR. FOUST!" She shouts in a panic.
Avi lays a hand on her shoulder and turns to his class. "I had better NOT hear one sound come from his class." He then follows Mary over to Tim's room.
All the girls were gathered around Tim. A couple of them was rubbing him on the back, trying to help calm him down.
Tim had his elbows resting on his desk and had his hands over his eyes. He was gasping for air as beads of sweat ran down his face.
Avi leans over putting an arm around Tim's shoulder. He reaches taking Tim by the chin turning his face toward him. Tim opens his eyes. "Timmy?" Avi said softly.
"Avi, I..I...I can't..I can't breath." Tim whispers in a panic.
Avi looks up at the worried girls. "I need someone to go get Mr. Braum. And hurry!"
Sydney nods and hurries out the door. She's running up the hall when she sees the principal, laughing and talking to Mr. Brown, outside his class.
"Sydney, You know there's no running in the hall. And why aren't you in class?" Ben scolded.
"IT'S MR. FOUST!! I THINK HE'S HAVING A PANIC ATTACK!! MR. KAPLAN IS WITH HIM!!" She shouts.
"WHAT??" Ben said loudly as he starts to run down the hall, followed by Austin.
