A/N: Alrighty, I felt like writing and posting a chapter today so here I am. Just 3 more reviews and I'll have 50! I hope you still like my story, but if you have anything to say, anything at all I'd love to hear about it in a review! And for those of you who don't think you can leave a review because you aren't poets (I'm sure there are a lot of you out there but don't worry I understand) all you to say is "I liked it" or "I thought it needed work" Just knowing that you read my stories and want me to continue is enough for me! And thanks to my wonderful reviewers ShadysLane, Crizzy4RFR, and jhhhhjfjk89 for the reviews! Reading what you guys think just brings a smile to my face!

Part 15: Only Temporary

This was it. The big moment. Ray was tapping his pencil annoyingly against his desk as nervous as he was, and Robbie was, pitifully and unsuccessfully, attempting to get him to calm down. They had brought this upon themselves. Well not really, Mr. Cloy had been the one to get himself into trouble and Kim had been the one to convince Principal Waller to fire him…so why did they feel so guilty? Or maybe it was nerves and not guilt. The bell rang, where was the teacher? But of course the whispers ceased suddenly as the knob to the door started to twist, and the next thing anyone knew a young man entered the room.

"I am Mr. Inglebreit," He said.

"Oh great, how'm I gonna pronounce that?" Ray whispered to Robbie.

Mr. Inglebreit stared icily at the pair before continuing, "As you all know Mr. Cloy's services with the school district have ceased…"

"You mean he got fired!" Shouted one of the kids in the back of the class.

"Yes," Mr. Inglebreit looked at the seating chart he had been provided, "Mr. O'Donnel. However, as many of you do not know, a suitable replacement for your teacher has not been located. Until a replacement is found I will be your substitute."

Several groans were heard throughout the class as much of the tension in the air was released, but much of it still remained. It would have been great to have Mr. Inglebreit as the new teacher, he seemed so nice, but now there was still no way of knowing what their real teacher would be like.

AAA

"How did class go?" Lily asked at lunch when what she really wanted to know was 'Is the new guy cute?'

Ray saw right through her disguise and pointedly stated "Yes."

Robbie glared at him, "He's not our new teacher, he's a sub…a Mr…. what was his name?"

"Mr. Inglebreit," Ray informed him.

"Ray, weren't you worried about pronouncing his name?" Robbie asked.

"I was…until I spent 10 minutes in the bathroom in front of the mirror learning it…" Ray admitted.

"Too much information, Ray, really!" Lily giggled.

"So what's the buzz?" Parker asked as she joined them.

"You don't want to know!" Lily informed her.

"Sounds serious," Parker stated.

"Not really," Travis disagreed, "I've been listening to the whole conversation from under that table." He pointed toward a vacant table, which at that exact moment was being invaded by a group of nerds.

"I'd say you got out of there just in time," Lily shook her head in disbelief.

Parker nodded in agreement, "So Trav you doing anything later today?"

"Where's this coming from?" He asked.

"I dunno, I just thought you might wanna hang out after school," Parker shrugged.

Travis smiled, "Well just so you know, I didn't have any plans."

She smiled, "I'm glad, so meet at Mickey's as soon as school's out?"

Travis nodded.

Suddenly Lily interrupted the conversation, " Hey um Parker could I talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure, Randall, what's up?" Parker asked.

Lily blushed slightly, "Not here!"

"Oh, got ya!" Parker agreed as the pair left the cafeteria.

"So, Swami, have you been to Mr. Cloy's former class yet?" Ray asked.

Travis shot him a very hateful glare, but responded eventually, "Yes, Mr. Inglebreit seems very informed, it's too bad he's only temporary."

"No way, man!" Ray answered, "He's a little too much on the teaching side."

Travis wasn't surprised, "Ray, a singing chipmunk is too much teaching for you!
