Gabbie Navarro
In Chapter 7, you assume that he and Gabbie had a romantic relationship, given that he purchased an expensive necklace for her. Later in Chapter 8, you find a letter written by Gabbie in Mr. Lewis's desk, which mentions that Gabbie had plans to elope to New York. At first you believe that the letter was intended for Mr. Lewis and that he had an affair with Gabbie, but in Chapter 10, it is revealed that Joanna was Gabbie's girlfriend, and the one that she had planned to elope with. Mr. Lewis was simply helping the two.

Your Character
During homecoming, you help Mr. Lewis tally the votes for the Homecoming King and Queen. In Chapter 2 during Gabbie's funeral, he asks how you are holding up. When you believe he had a secret relationship with Gabbie, you feel nothing but disgust towards him and paranoia that he's too touchy-feely with his other students. However, you discover you were wrong about him, and you do your best to make things right. Despite having him sent to jail for nothing, Mr. Lewis doesn’t have any ill-will towards you or your friends.

Students
When students compliment and flirt with Mr. Lewis, the latter barely reacts and only smiles. You mention that it must be weird knowing that half of his students have a crush on him. During Gabbie's funeral, he says that he lost students before, and that it's never easy. He believes that his duty as a teacher is to be strong for his students, and that he has own resources for his own grief.
