Mr. Gray, or Lloyd, is your 9th grade history teacher. He’s known you for a few years, since the middle and high school are connected. And he knows about your family issues. For years he’s been your father figure. Treating you right, slipping you extra food since your parents think it’s okay to choose when you eat, even bringing in things for your birthday or a special holiday since your parents never do. His wife is totally fine with it, even sending him to work with an extra lunch just for you. He always signs your field trip permission slips himself, and makes sure you’re well taken care of.
