...Nartinez...

Central nervous system

and the lymphatic.

Tell me the difference.

It's like the...

The central nervous system is...

...your brain and your spinal cord.

And the lymphatic system is the stuff

in your blood that fights diseases.

That's right!

Schoolgirl!

That b*tch was cheating.

Are you writing on your desk, Mr...

...Sanchez?

I don't see nothing in my hands,

do you?

"K.O.S."

What's that? A tagging crew?

- "Cartoon. " That you?

- It might be.

Does K.O.S. Have

something to do with Benny?

Don't go there.

"K.O.S." stands for

"Kapping Off Suckers. "

We give out referrals.

Don't disrespect my homeboy.

I don't like it.

And he don't like you.

Do me a favor.

Go to the counter, get a paper towel

and wipe your desk off.

And what's your name?

Who, me?

Stevie Littleton.

You do me a favor, Mr. Littleton.

Turn that tagger shirt...

...inside out.

What, this?

Hyland said it was okay.

Later, lover!

It was a pleasure meeting you.

They're just trying to f*** with you.

I mean, play with you.

- Sorry I said you had a nice ass.

- Apology accepted.

But I ain't no schoolgirl.

Heaven forbid I'd think that.

May I come in?

Sure.

Making time a reward

instead of a distraction.

I don't know why I jumped up

the way I did at lunch.

It's just weird.

It's all right.

For what it's worth,

Childress thinks you walk on water.

Is that a good thing?

It takes a lot of courage to go

back into a classroom after that.

Not if the only thing

you ever wanted was to teach.

You see, there's our predicament.

I assume you've met Benny Chacon.

Yes, I have.

Last week...

...Benny and his tagging crew...

...had Ms. Eskander

pinned in the corner over there.

She's seven months pregnant.

So she kicks him.

If the district rules it an assault

on a student, she's gone.

They'd do that?

She's non-tenured.

Wouldn't be surprised

if she files for stress leave.

It's too bad.

She was a good teacher.

Can I ask a personal question?

When you were attacked,

was it random or did you know him?

No, I knew him. I flunked him.

Can you see something like that coming?

Kid tells you he wants to kill you,

believe him.

He was an O.T.,

an opportunity transfer.

But nobody told me that

till it was too late.

Do you know Benny's an O.T.?

Last year he was convicted of a felony

assault and suspended twice.

I even testified against him

as a character witness.

And now I get to see him

every morning in my homeroom.

In your homeroom?

Condition of his probation

is that he stay in school.

- Did you talk to the principal?

- Many times.

This kid's threatening me, and

all Garcia cares about is a lawsuit.

What did Benny say to you?
