''Okay, can we continue?'' Brandon smiled. Tyler looked at him but didn't say anything. He sighed and was holding himself not to say something too. ''Open your books on page 35'' Brandon said and everyone did what he asked.

Brooke looked at Tyler and Noa the whole time..

Two hours later..

It was time for lunch. Everyone went to the cantine to get some food. Nathan was sitting alone, like always he thought. Just like how it was at home.

Class 12A was picking their stuff to leave the classroom. Malia took her books and also was leaving the class, when.. ''Malia''

Malia turned around and she looked at her teacher. ''You said you were painting, right?'' he asked and Malia nodded. ''And what do you paint?'' Brandon asked. Valery stopped picking her stuff and looked at Malia and Brandon.

Amber noticed that and took Valery's purse. ''Come'' she said. ''Amber!'' Valery became mad but didn't want Brandon to notice so she walked after Amber.

''Just.. Views, I don't know, what I see at that moment'' Malia said. ''Would you mind if I could see one of your paintings? I wanna show you something too.'' Brandon said. ''Sure'' Malia said. ''No one is interested actually, so.. This made me happy.'' Malia smiled.

''I'm curious. I'll show you mine tomorrow too then'' he said and Malia nodded. ''Enjoy your lunch'' Brandon said. ''Thank you, mr. Howard'' Malia said and she walked out of the classroom.

At the cantine..

Nathan was eating alone when suddenly Tyler, Brooke, Isaac, Daisy, Kyle and Cayley were sitting next to him. He looked around and actually noticed that.. His friends did want to eat with him. It was like, this was his family right now..

Kyle was also really quiet in the group. He kept thinking about Brandon Howard. Who was this guy..

''What did he say this time?'' He suddenly asked. ''Who?'' Cayley asked. ''Mr. Howard''

''It was just a normal class today'' Brooke said. Kyle raised his eyebrows. ''Really? So that's it?'' he asked. Everyone looked at him. ''What?'' Cayley asked. ''So, this guy is just going to give class like nothing happened? Aren't we going to ask him how he knows about us? About..'' Kyle looked at Cayley. ''About Dawn'' he slowly said.

Everyone looked at him.

Cayley didn't know what to say to him right now. ''If you want to ask..'' Kyle nodded. ''You guys don't?'' he asked. Everyone looked at each other. ''So no one finds this weird? Am I the only one?'' Kyle said.

''He clearly knows stuff'' Kyle said. Nathan sighed, but he knew Kyle was right. He didn't trust this teacher.

He looked up and he saw Brandon walking in the cantine.. ''I'm not done with him.'' He said and he stood up. ''Kyle!'' Cayley said but she didn't stand up. She looked at the others.

''Walk with me to our classroom.'' Kyle said, standing next to Brandon. Brandon smiled and he turned his face towards Kyle. ''Excuse me?''

''You heard me.'' Kyle said and he looked at him. His friends were watching them..

''I'm your teacher, remember? Or should I let you remember that?'' Brandon said. Kyle didn't understand what he meant and looked at his friends. He saw Cayley's face. She was worried about him.

''I'm waiting in class.'' Kyle said and he left the cantine. Brandon watched him leaving and he took a deep breath.

Cayley raised her eyebrows and when she saw that Brandon left the cantine too, she started to panic. ''Guys-'' she said and she stood up too.

Kyle was standing in the classroom when Brandon walked in. ''Close the door.'' Kyle said and Brandon did what Kyle told him. ''I'm listening.'' Brandon said.

''Open your laptop and show me everything you have about us, about Dawn'' Kyle said. ''Why would I, that's my privacy.'' Brandon said.

''Your privacy?! Stuff about us, is your privacy?'' Kyle raised his eyebrows. ''What do you know about Dawn'' he asked. ''Not much'' Brandon said and he sat on his table.

''Just that she killed herself like... One year ago.'' Brandon said. Kyle looked at him. ''How..''

''Think, Kyle. When did I come here? Yesterday. What day was it, yesterday?'' Brandon looked at Kyle and it was quiet. ''March the 30th.'' He answered. Brandon nodded. ''And what day is that..''

Kyle didn't know what to say. ''The day that..''

''Exactly.'' Brandon smiled. ''So you can guess what the other teachers told me when I came here yesterday.'' he said. Kyle shaked his head. ''That can't be it!'' he said.

''Oh trust me, it is.'' Brandon said. ''I'm sorry, you hoped for something else but.. I'm just a boring teacher.'' Brandon said and he stood up. Kyle sighed and he looked at the ground.

''By the way-'' Brandon said without turning around. ''If I were you, I would never ever come with a knife in your pocket again. The next time I see you with something like that, I will tell the principal and you will be kicked out.'' Brandon smiled.

Kyle's eyes became bigger and he looked at Brandon. He didn't even turn around, he didn't even look at Kyle and he noticed the knife in his pocket..

Brandon smiled. ''Have a nice class.'' Brandon said and he left the classroom. Kyle was in shock.

He took the knife out of his pocket.. How did Brandon notice the knife in his pocket without him doing something with it?

Kyle didn't know what to do.. Now he knew.

This guy knew much more.
