I Should Have Known...........

There were all these little hints that he dropped. I should have noticed before......
1) The fact that he NEVER wears shorts, always long pants.
2) The fact that he was almost always teaching us about battles or mythology
3) The way he enjoyed teaching us about battles and mythology
4) The way he claimed he was an 'NBA agent' (mix of CIA, FBI, and NSA) and that he was there to protect one of us
5) The way he always looked right at me when he talked about being an NBA agent
6)The way he taught unlike any other teacher
7) The way he had been a terrible student
8) The way he seemed ADHD
9) The way he was always limping
10)The fact that his clipboard says GROVER on the back (in all caps)
I should have picked up on these subtleties. I should have realized that he was there to protect me. I should have known he would save my life........

Notes

well, what do you think? And just FYI all the facts in the list (1-10) ARE true. I did not make them up.
To get NBA agent name line up the names of the agency like so:
NSA
FBI
CIA
Notice that if you start in the top left corner and move down to the bottom right corner it says NBA. I did not come up with this or make this up AT ALL. NBA and all the facts listed in the story are things I have noticed and/or things I have been told by my language teacher.
