The current rumour doing the rounds amongst the kids is that I'm going out with one of the English teachers. Seeing as she's totally gorgeous I'm not overly concerned about it. I certainly think I come out of it better than she does - my year nines described her as 'well fit' so there's a possibility to earn some respec' (which is different from respect in that respec' isn't worth anything, whereas respect is).

Rumours like this come about because of teachers - are you ready for the scandalousness of this - talking to each other. If a young male teacher and a young female teacher are seen holding a conversation or are even within three metres of each other than they must be 'doing it'. I must seem like a complete player to the kids seeing as there are lots of young female teachers that I 'talk' to, even within minutes of each other.

I apologise for my disgraceful behaviour.
