Thanks to EleCivil and Graeme for clearing up my queries about chapter 11. Being politically correct is still a lot better than what some went through. I should have worked out that it was only the student rumour mill gone overboard concerning Mr Hall. But I have no experience of students guessing over new staff. In my school days ( in New Zealand ) new teachers turned up and some stayed and some moved on. You got on with what was there - no choice, no say. Something Cam is going to have to do, I suspect. Looking forward to the next chapter/s. Again thanks, Ross

I read the new chapter (11) a few days ago and would like to make an observation or two. Nathan's father,after being told his son is gay, appears to be acting politically correct - even clinical - and I was wondering if this is intended. Or is this the lead-up to a scenario beyond the father/son bonding or the father/son parting; not to mention the one that Nathan is too young to know what he wants. What did take me by surprise is the re-introduction of the ex-security guard. I went back and re-read chapter 1 and there is not much about the guard to be gleaned from it. Now I have a timing problem with the ex-guard. According to the student body the ex-guard (Hall) has a reputation as a hard teacher yet just prior to the summer holidays he was working as a car yard security guard. With all schools in the US closing down at the same time for summer, when or how did Hall get this reputation? Or have I read more into this than I should have? Despite the above I enjoyed the chapter. It was worth the wait. Now to see how Cam and Nathan work out how to handle the distance hassle and their insecurities and their paranoia. Cheers.

Decided to register so I could ask if EleCivil is going to post any more chapters to his serial Leaves and Lunatics. It's been awhile since Chapter 10 and I, for one, would like to know how the storyline is going to pan out. Thanx.
