Chapter 221
Helping Those In Need
Part 1
I had always liked Tuesday and
Thursday on the block schedule because they were my lighter days compared to
the rest of the days of the week. Mostly because they were 1 or 2 credit
classes which meant they didn’t require a lot of extra homework. Once it was
just the five of us as everyone else hurried to their classes. Tony was able to
pull me aside, telling me they had quite the night tracking down some of the
members of the satanic church.
Yet the one person they are having problem tailing is Mr. Tate twice he had
eluded them using secret passages in a building we had thought he was in. Then
disappearing altogether, if it wasn’t for my friend Jeff they still wouldn’t
have been able to locate him. Stating Mr. Tate doesn’t actually live in Heber;
he lives in one of the bordering towns but has several privately owned estates
that are very well guarded. Catching him is going to be like finding a needle
in a haystack.
I knew we didn’t have a lot of men that are trained yet as they were still
deployed in Texas, and across the
state, The Government was getting impatient because the crime rate was high and
growing wherever the satanic church was entrenched. Yet we were the ones making
the most progress by taking down one of their queens and putting one of our own
in places. And we had replaced almost half the 9s in Salt
Lake City and in Heber with our own guys.
Yet it didn’t seem to be enough as the church was still growing. They were
close to taking down two more thanks to our help, but we needed more
information and we needed more guys on our task force, not mention training
them and us.
Tony said that it was great idea regardless if Mr. Tate had pushed Kirk to be
one of my lovers; in fact, he suggested that Eli and Greg, as well as our
wives, also obtain lovers so the members would invite us into their homes and
spill their guts to us using pillow talk.
He also believed that mine and
Jared’s injuries are prolonging those members to invite us into their homes
because they feel we are weak and useless. Stating he wanted us out of our
wheelchairs by Friday and only using them for long distance, to indicate we
were healing quickly due to the fact their queen healed us; giving her power
influence that states that she has been called by their devil God.
Eli and our wives had no problem with obtaining lovers because they had been
raised in the church. It was Greg, Jared and I that had the problem, but he
wasn’t saying we needed more boys, but just as many girls, we can bring to the
table. Eli said he and Greg would work on bring Kirk's three friends in so when
we take Mr. Tate out of the equation. We will have them and their parents on
our side providing they aren’t involved in the harder crimes like murdering
people and young children.
We quickly found our seats as Kirk walked into our classroom with his three
friends as they gave us a nod as they took seats near me. Kirk said the boys
didn’t believe him that I had decided that he and I would be lovers. Or that
his mother had converted to nudism after spending one night at my house. I got
up from my desk and walked up to Kirk and took him by the hand, pulling him
close to me and kissed him good and proper.
Watching everyone in the room turn and gasps seeing us including his three
friends kissing and me standing and walking: the teacher who was Mr. Burns just
a basic teacher not all that memorable; tall and thin and fairly good looking
if you were into men that were close to being bald but not quite with his hair
only on the sides and none on top. Brown eyes and generic straight bird-like
nose thin mouth and very white as if he never saw the sun. The only thing
unique about him was his voice was almost monotone that when he read anything
it was hypnotic that it put you to sleep.
He coughed telling us to take our seats. Then asked if we wouldn’t mind staying
after class for a couple of moments to discuss our behavior. Kirk asked if he
had a problem with us kissing because last time he checked it was a free
country, he and I were now lovers. He calmly said. “To be honest it creeps me
out and I would prefer that you don’t display your affection in my classroom,”
asking if our parents know.
Kirk took his seat said. “Oh they know, in fact, she has stated clearly to me
this morning that we are converting to nudism's and plural marriage. I have a
note if you would like to see it stating that we are lovers and we have their
blessing.” Kirk pulled it out of his pocket including his new membership card.
Handing it to the teacher, he read it and his face paled seeing the card that
state his mother has allowed him not only to be my lover but to have sex with
anyone he would like. He asked if we also had cards. We nodded as we pulled
them out of our wallets and purses.
He said. “I see, but I will not allow this kind of behavior inside my
classroom. I am very surprised and disappointed in you Kirk and your mother
being as your mother is a member of the LDS church and 2nd councilor in relief
society and you being raised and baptized in the church. Nudism is not
something to be taken lightly inside the church considering it is immoral and
is a sin against God. I will be talking to your Bishop regarding this. Last I
have checked there are not any nudist that or LDS or that live here in the U.S and
certainly not in Utah.”
I raised my hand he called me I said. “Your wrong Mr. Burns, I happen to know
several nudists that live here in this State of Utah;
in fact, I know for a fact that many of them are LDS and have been to a nudist
colony over the summer. If you ask my friends that have moved here with me they
will tell you that they and their parents or nudists. My Dad can and would be
more than happy to give you directions to the colony and as well as give you
the names of several LDS Bishops that are nudists.”
He said. “Nate, you are lying to me, I will not tolerate disrespect in my
classroom. I will be calling your parents and tell them that and how you have
behaved in my class. I am sending you down to the principles office in hopes
you will learn a lesson that this behavior will not be tolerated in my
classroom. Now go so the ones here can learn what I have to teach.” I gave him a military salute. The class
laughed as I wheeled my self down to the office. Kirk followed me giving Mr.
Burns the finger.
He opened the door and I said. “Home sweet home,” stating he too has spent a
lot of time in here.
Being as I was Nate Carrion, Kirk and I were seen the moment Principle Higgins
noticed me. I should tell you a little bit about Principle Higgins. I had
already said he was a 3rd class member of the satanic church, which said he was
basically an errand boy to those like Mr. Tate who were magistrates or judges
that keep the church running. He was just a bad guy on our growing list that
needed to go away for a very long time. He wasn’t much to look at honestly,
bald and short with long bushy eyebrows that had a face only a mother could
love.
Providing he had a mother or if he hadn’t sacrificed her and his father to get
the position he has in the church. He was short like my father and my
grandmother reaching the height barely 5 foot even if that. Dark brown eyes
that were more like black coals that gave you the creeps when he looked at you,
his head being bald was more in the shape of lemon or pear and had the same
sick coloring, stuffed inside a dark business suit.
He closed the door and took a seat at his desk. He laughed when I told what had
just taken place. He asked Kirk if it was true that he and I were now lovers.
Kirk said Mr. Tate told him that he wanted him to be my lover. He was obeying a
direct order. Principle Higgins said. “Come with me boys, we will nip it in the
butt. I won’t have Mr. Carrion angry with me, for something that he has given
me a direct order to ensure that his son is accepted here.
“Nor do I want Mr. Tate breathing down my neck. He was quite angry with me for
my recent behavior as he had also given me a direct order that I must do
whatever it takes to make sure young Nate and his friends or receiving the best
education I can give them or my life will be forfeited.” He opened the classroom door and had Mr.
Burns come out into the hall he told me to take our seats. Everyone was
surprised that Kirk and I were back so quickly. Then the yelling started in the
hall as the Principle Higgins called Mr. Burns on the carpet.
I caught the words that he doesn’t care how he felt about me and my friends
being married or the fact that Kirk and I were now lovers; or the fact that we
had converted to nudism’s. He told him that I and my friends could run naked
down the hallways, kiss anyone we wanted to, have sex with whoever we like, his
job was to teach, and not discriminate or preach his religion or his beliefs to
his students in this school. That if he didn’t like it he can clean out his
desk and get the hell out of his school.
Telling him he better apologize to me and Kirk and informs his fellow teachers
that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated in his school. Informing him
that my Dad and Mr. Earl are big contributors and pillars of this community;
has made damn sure we have a very decent library and state of the art computer
lab. That if ever insults me or him ever again he’ll find his a*s out the door
quicker then he can say blooming dales. It was soon after he came back into the
room with Principle Higgins as he took a seat in the back of his class so he
could ensure that Mr. Burns apologized to me and Kirk.
Mr. Burns stood in front of the class and apologized to me stating it is a free
country that he had no right discriminate me or Kirk or my husband Eli and or
wives because of what we believed in. In fact, he would like the class to write
paper expanding on it so he and our class will understand why religion or
ethnic background should not be used against anyone and how and when it came
bought; plus giving at least 1 example of our religion and ethnic beliefs. That
this paper will be worth 30 percent of our grade being it will be our term
paper; not less than 5 and not more than ten pages, typed according to
instruction on the syllabus; hearing the class grumble, “Oh man.”
He quickly passed out our syllabus and that listed our reading assignments and
where the paper was listed and had us across it out had us fill in the new
title. ‘Why we live in a free country and what means to me.’ Plus all our tests
and quizzes. He quickly handed out or textbooks he was about to give me and my
friends the used one then he looked at Principle Higgins when he said. “Anyone
that has used or old edition of this textbook in this class pleases exchange it
for a new one.
“Mr. Burns will be the one paying for them for his disrespect to our new
students. Kirk if you would take Eli and Greg and Randy down to the library,
and bring in the new textbooks; That we will be using next term, but because of
Mr. Carrion and Mr. Earl’s sizable donation, we will use them this term
instead. Then come to the office after class and I’ll have a note waiting to
give to all your teachers so this doesn’t happen again.”
He got up and followed the boys out Mr. Burns said. “Principle Higgins I
haven’t done a lesson plan using those books yet I was going to do it over
Christmas break.”
Principle Higgins said. “Not my problem, you were hired to teach, so teach,”
and closed the door.
Mr. Burns wanted to bang his head against the desk as he took his own syllabus
and crumbled it up and dumped the rest into the garbage can. He wanted to kill
me and Kirk for making him look like a fool. I knew if he could have gotten
away with it he would have done just that or make sure I or my friends didn’t
pass his class.
It wasn’t long before the boys came back with the books using a small hand
truck dolly. With the instructor’s book on top still in its packaging; with the
purchase order on top, he gasped when he picked up that said they were
expensive. He had everyone pass up their old textbooks as he had the boys
quickly pass the new ones down the rows.
He waited for the boys to take their seats and then said. “We will be spending
the time we have left by learning how to break in brand new textbook that way
when you return them to me. Considering I am the one paying for them they will
be returned in good working order. They don’t belong to you so do not write in
them or mark them up in any way or you will be the ones paying for that book
and will not get a passing grade until you do, is that clear?”
I raised my hand and he cringed as he called on me. I said. “Sorry Mrs. Burns,
but can I pay for mine and my friends now? I always buy my books so I can do
exactly that. My parents insist on that because it makes me a better student.”
He groaned but nodded and I came up to the front using my collapsible crutches.
I pulled out my wallet as he quickly added the cost of my book.
I leaned down and whispered low so only he could hear me. Asking him how many
of the students here can’t afford to buy their own books. He asked me why I
said. “I would like to buy them for them as well as yours, so you won’t have to
bear the whole cost of my rudeness’ earlier.” He gasped as he quickly went down
the roll and added up who he knows it would be a hardship on them. Asking me if
I had that kind of money, I nodded and paid him. It didn’t surprise him I
carried that kind of cash with me, because as Nate Carrion I was rich.
I told him not say anything to them until after class so not to embarrass them
plus if he could give me the list of rest of the students he teaches that
can’t. I would be glad to pay for theirs as well the next time we met. He
looked at me I nodded. I returned to my seat and he put the money way into his
pocket. He smiled at me and said. “Ok, now we will learn how to break in a new
book the proper way.”
He quickly gave us instructions as we followed him even though I didn’t need
the instruction because I had been taught already I followed along. We spent the rest of the hour doing the
boring embarrassing stuff getting to know each other. He said for us to only
read the first chapter and answer the questions at the back of the chapter;
until he can go over the book to see what we will be learning this term.
The bell rang and he called the following students up to his desk and they
turned their heads to look at me blinking at me with surprised looks. It made
me feel all warm in fuzzy inside knowing I had helped someone in need. Kirk
caught up to me and his three friends as we were making our way to the office
to pick up our note. Kirk asked why I did that, I said. “Why not? It was my
fault, not Mr. Burns. I pay my own way as my adoptive parents have taught me,
and if I am in a position to help I should always take the opportunity to pay
it forward.
“You said it yourself people think that were snobs because we are rich and we
look down on people that have it. I am not a snob and never look down on people
thinking because I am rich and everyone that isn’t is lower than me. I have two
biological sisters and if you met them you would see what real snob looks and
act like it. They call my younger sister the ice queen. Because she has no
heart and her touch is like getting frostbite. My baby sister is like that as
well, but she isn’t as snobbish as her older sister.
“She the type of person that will give you the cold shoulder if you don’t give
her want she wants… and when she does get it she latches herself to you and
will bleed you dry quicker than quicksand. Her old sister will also latch on to
you if she finds out you got money. But she’ll act as it belongs to her and you
should feel privileged to give it to her, but in either case, she would chew
you up and spit you out and dispose of you the moment you have no more to give
her. Then turn around and stab you in the back quicker the then you can say
whiplash.”
Kirk said. “I didn’t know you had two Biological sisters.”
I said. “I don’t in a way, considering I was adopted by the Carrions, plus I
don’t claim them and they don’t see me as their older brother just dirt under
their shoes. The same as my biological father, my mother used to be that way,
but not anymore, well right now that is a little uncertain.
“I also have a brother who used to think the world of me, but I seldom get to
see him any more thanks to my biological father; who I really don’t like
talking about and certainly not here in school. Let’s just say we don’t have
any love for each other and leave it at that.” Kirk said that this was him as
he turned into the classroom as the five us went further down to our next class
as his three friends went the other direction. Tony quickly pulled me aside
telling me not to talk about my real life.
Jenny told him why not considering everyone knows I was adopted and nobody
really cares about my biological family. Reminding him they are too far away
that to the church if they meant very little to me. They wouldn’t be worth
their time and the school records state that I was used to be award of the
state, but no longer. He conceded that she was right, but cautioned me not tell
them everything. I said. “I didn’t intend to, but if they want to know about my
life before I was adopted I wasn’t going to hide the facts from them.
