*** Above is a picture of actor Tommy Lee Jones, one of my favorite actors. I am using his looks as the Head of the School Board.

The next morning, all the teachers gathered in the teacher's lounge as usual. They were all concerned on how Tim was feeling. He was back to his old self except for his voice being a little hoarse.

Principal Ben Bram walks in with some papers in his hands. He asked Tim how he was feeling as he handed each teacher a stack of the announcements to hand out to their class. 

It was announcing an urgent Parent - Teacher Conference. But he would not give any details what it was about. But from the sad look on his face, it couldn't be good. He walks out without saying another word.

The meeting was scheduled for that night. E-mails, text messages and phone calls had been sent to the parents urging them to attend.

When Tim walked up to his classroom to unlock the door, he was attacked by his students giving him hugs. They were so happy to see him back. Avi stood back and laughed at the smiles on their faces. Tim definitely had a connection with those girls.

There wasn't much time for small talk. They had missed two days of classes and had a lot of catching up to do.

Tim assured them that he was feeling much better and thanked them all again for being there for him. He told them about the urgent meeting scheduled for that night and that it was very important that they all be there.

Of course it didn't fail that a few of the more out spoken students asked him about the relationship between him and Mr. Kaplan.

He only smiled and told them that it was personal information. But with the smile on his face, the blush in his cheeks and the hickey hid under his long hair, they knew.

The day passed quickly and soon the bell rung to end the school day. Tim reminded the girls again of the meeting before they left.

Tim and Avi walked out to their vehicles together. 

"Do you want me to swing by and pick you up for that meeting?" Avi asked, playing with a button on Tim's shirt.

"Sure, if you don't mind." Tim smiles down at him, running a hand through Avi's hair. "I've got a bad feeling about this." He added becoming serious.

"Just don't go freaking out on me, alright? Just calm down, you know how they always make it sound worse than it really is."

"I hope you're right." Tim sighs, giving Avi a kiss on the forehead. "I need to go. Got some errands I need to do before the meeting."

"See you in a little bit." Avi said with a wink.

When the two arrived at the school, there were already a lot of people there. Tim got to meet each of the girls parents. They all praised him for the work he had been doing. 

The gym quickly filled up with students and parents. All the teachers were seated on the stage. Tim was asked to sign language during the meeting.

"Good evening, everyone. Thank-you all for coming on such a short notice. Most of you know me, my name is Ben Bram and I am the principal here at the school. But this urgent meeting was called by the head of our school system, Mr. Tommy Lee Jones. So now I will turn this meeting over to him, Mr. Jones." Ben turns and sits down with the teachers as Mr. Jones walks up to the podium.
