   Summary

   After a lifetime of lies and manipulation, Simon finds himself in a whole new world that he never knew he was living in. After almost two years of staying in a government owned facility and being told the truth about his past and the world around him, they decided that he needs to learn how to interact with others.

   So what better place to send a traumatized man with violent tendencies and a very loose grasp on reality than a middle school classroom?

   OR

   Simon sits in on middle school classes to help recover from his trauma and he meets an annoying(ly beautiful) science teacher. Gayness ensues
