It was a new school year, and Tyler was ready for the breath of fresh air it would provide. The last year had not been kind to him, and he looked forward to the new teacher for his math class.

Mark was sweating through the new Polo and clip on bowtie he had picked up at Goodwill. He had successfully swindled the school admins into believing he had a degree. He was tired of working at Walmart and decided that his life could turn around if presented with the right student.

It was an innocent enough start to the school year, but it would evolve into a romance so sweet, that even the birds sang when Mark and Tyler entered a room together.
