Zachery had kept a straight face during the whole strange encounter, but the question about her sleeping with the man had made the boy turn his head fast enough to cause a small spasm shoot through his neck.  "What?!  Ow...."  He had almost shouted out, but the sudden flare of pain had stopped him in mid word thankfully.  And by then the were preparing to leave, and Zachery and the other girl were going to be left with the imposing Shaw.  Rubbing his neck, Zachery grimaced but didn't say anything further, filing away everything he had heard between the two only moments ago.<em>He's a teacher in a dress and he asks his student that kind of question, and Shaw doesn't say a word?  What kind of school is this?</em>
