70. 67%
Logan stared down at his math test. The big read letters staring up at him. He could feel his eyes start to water, but he wasn't going to cry now, not when he was surrounded by his friends and other resentence of the Palm Woods.
A 67? How did he make a 67? Math was his best subject! But there it was, in bold, red letters. 67%.
Logan scanned the paper, looking over his mistakes. How could he have been so…so stupid? They were all just simple mistakes, but there we enough to give him a 67.
Logan stared at the paper up until the bell rang. He wanted to run, run away from all of it, but his friends caught up to him before he could.
"Dudes, I made a 100!" Carlos yelled. Logan put on a smile, but he could feel his stomach drop. Carlos had made a 100. Logan had helped Carlos study for this test, yet he still failed. That didn't make any sense to him.
"Same here." James said, high fiving Carlos.
"Eh, I made an 87." Kendall sighed. They continued out of the class room and into the lobby. As they walked down the hallway towards the elevator, Logan could feel his 3 best friends staring at him, waiting for him to tell them what he made.
"Hey Logan, you alright?" Kendall asked, watching him as Logan stared at his feet.
Instead of answering, Logan took off running, not even noticing Kendall making a grab for his hand. Logan was too fast for them, being the smallest of the group, he was long gone before they could even process what was happening.
He ran up the stairs, not stopping at the second floor. He continued up, all the way to the roof. As soon as he was up he ran around to the back of the roof, hiding behind the heater like he usually did when he was upset.
He looked down at the piece of paper in his hand. He felt his eyes start to water, but the tears didn't fall until he realized he only had the ripped top corner. Kendall must have grabbed it when he ran. He sighed, letting a couple more tears fall.
~B~T~R~
"Hey Logan, you alright?" Kendall asked. Kendall had been watching him sense class had ended. He had a sad look in his eyes, and Kendall wanted to know why. But Logan didn't answer. He took off in a dead run. Kendall, with his reflex skills, went to grab Logan's hand. He missed and grabbed the paper in Logan's hand. The part Logan had been holding ripped, leaving Kendall with everything but the corner.
Kendall watched Logan run past a corner. He had an urge to chase after him, but decided against it. He looked down at the paper in his hands. A big, red 67 stared back at him. "Oh, Logie." Kendall whispered.
He had watched Logan teach Carlos this stuff, getting him ready for this test. How did Logan get a 67?
"What is it?" Carlos asked. He looked up at Kendall, as he and James had been talking about their hundreds. "Hey, where'd Logan go?" He asked, looking around.
Kendall looked up at Carlos. "He just took off." Before Carlos or James could say anything, he showed them the paper.
Carlos looked up at Kendall, a shocked expression on his face. "There's no way that's Logan's. He helped me study, and I got a 100."
Kendall looked back down at the paper and saw Logan's neat signature on the top. "It's his. Guess it's just one of those days." He said. He turned around and stared at the place where Logan had taken off. "We better go find him."
Carlos and James nodded. "I'll take the pool. Knowing Logan he could be anywhere by now." Carlos said, taking off in to the pool.
"I got the park." James turned around and headed off towards the park.
Kendall headed towards the apartment.
*45 minutes later*
Logan stared up at the clouds, watching as they slowly passed. Every now and then wiping his eyes, even though he had already stopped crying. They were now dry from staring at the sun.
He leaned his backpack against the heater, using it like a pillow. He closed his stinging eyes and let his mind wander, relaxing till he fell asleep.
~B~T~R~
"Anything?" Kendall ask Carlos as he walked into the pool area.
"No. He's not here." Carlos said.
"Same for me." James said, walking up to them.
They searched/waited for Logan to appear somewhere for almost 3 hours. He wasn't answering their phone calls. It was just like he vanished off the face of the earth, or at least the Palm Woods.
"Where do you think he is Kendall?" Carlos asked, looking at his friend with sad eyes.
Kendall just looked up at the sky, staring at the passing clouds. That's when an idea hit him. "I think I know where he is." Kendall whispered, walking/running back inside, Carlos and James on his heels.
~B~T~R~
Logan rolled over on his back. He blinked his eyes a few times, slowly realizing he had fallen asleep on the roof. He smiled at the calm sky, which was beginning to darken as the sun began to set. Everything was calm. He was still upset about getting a 67, but right now everything was calm.
"Logan!" A voice yelled from the stairs. Logan sighed, not wanting to deal with his friends, but knowing they would find him eventually.
"Here!" He yelled. His voice was tight from crying, and also stifling a yawn.
He heard 3 pairs of feet running towards him. He sighed and looked down at the top of the roof, suddenly interested in the spider crawling along.
"Logan!" He heard Carlos yell, before his head suddenly made contact with the roof.
"Ow, Carlos! Get off me!" He yelled, trying to push the boy off him, without pushing him off the roof.
"Sorry Logie." He said, getting up and sitting on his knees.
Logan sat up and rubbed his head. "Sheesh, from the day I met you you've been tackling me to the ground."
Carlos smiled. "So true. Are you okay?" He looked at him with his puppy dog eyes. Logan laughed.
"I'm better." He looked up at James and Kendall, who were just staring at him. "Hey guys."
James sat down next to Carlos, giving him a smile. "You scared the heck out of us Logie. We thought you had just disappeared."
Logan gave him a half smile. "Sorry. I fell asleep. I didn't mean to, I swear." He looked up at Kendall, giving him an apologetic smile. Kendall sighed and smiled, also sitting down.
"Sorry about the 67." Kendall said.
Logan's smile disappeared, but he shrugged. "It won't kill me. Yeah, it will probably lower my grade from an A to a B, but-" He looked at his three friends surrounding him. "I'll always have you guys 100 percent of the time, right?" The three boys smiled and nodded.
"You're such a sap Logan." James said, punching him. "And we'll always have you."
Logan smiled. "67 percent of the time."
They all gave him puzzled looks. "What does that mean?" Carlos asked.
"It means 33 percent of the time, you guys will be doing something stupid and I won't help." They all laughed and punched him. "I got to get new friends." Logan laughed, rubbing his arm.
"We love you too, Logie." Carlos said, before tackling Logan into a hug. James and Kendall started laughing, before joining in on the dog pile.
