Chapter 9

"Alright, Logan Mitchell. You can return home now. Your dad is waiting outside for you in his car. You were brave, little guy. I'm proud of you." Dr. Chavlas told Logan. Logan nodded his head. "Thanks, too, Doctor Chavlas! Thanks for saving my life!" The Doctor smiled, and shook Logan's hand.

"You've been one of my best patients. Good bye, and try not to come back too often!" He joked. Logan laughed, and ran out of the door. His dad was there, in their black van.

"Hey, daddy! I'm back!" Mr. Mitchell smiled, and hugged his only son. Logan was an only child, and had no siblings. He was sometimes lonely playing on his own, until he made three new friends. Kendall, James, and Carlos. Mr. Mitchell loved his son, and hoped nothing would stop their bond. Mr. Mitchell was a computer engineer and some other stuff Logan didn't know about, and they had no economy problems whatsoever.

They got home, and Logan's mommy was waiting for him. So were Kendall, James, and Carlos. Logan took turns hugging them one by one, and he was very glad for the warmth he hadn't felt in a long time while he was living in the hospital.

"I love you guys..." Logan whispered as he was swept into a huge boy hug. Logan had missed Kendall's weird laugh, James protectiveness over his hair, and Carlos's energy. Logan missed everything.

Except for his teacher, Mrs. Simpson. He hated her, and the name brought shivers down his spine, although he had no clue why. His teacher was very nice, so why did he hate her? Logan couldn't even answer his own question. Mrs. Lisa Sally Simpson. He even remembered her whole name, and she never even told any kids in the school her first name or middle name. Logan was confused. He wished he hadn't lost the part of his mind that he needed.

"Hey, Logie? What's your awesome plan?" James said curiously. He was bouncing up and down in excitement. But Logan said what he had to say. "I can't tell you. It's a secret. Just don't mention to the teacher that I'll be coming back to class tomorrow, and the plan will work just fine, I promise." Logan smirked. The rest of the three boys looked confused as ever. But they knew Logan didn't usually promise anything, so they were sure this plan was in action and would work. They were so sure of it, they would put money on it.

Logan leaned over to the closest person, Carlos. He whispered something to Carlos.

"Why?" Carlos said. Logan told him just to do it. Carlos reluctantly nodded. Logan knew it might be hard for him, but Carlos was the perfect one to do it. And it would be like a sacrifice for the plan. Carlos had always wanted to be a superhero, right? Now would be the perfect chance to save them all. If he just did that one thing.

When Kendall and James and Carlos had finally left, and Logan was put to bed, he overheard his parents saying something hushed to each other.

"Karen, how long are we going to keep the secrets? Logan needs to find out sooner or later." That was Logan's daddy's voice. Logan was confused. What secret? Had they been hiding something from him?

"Not yet, I don't think it's time yet." Logan's mommy answered.

"Just make sure it's not too late when the time comes, okay honey?" That was daddy's voice again. Logan didn't hear his mommy's reply, because just then, he closed his eyes and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

The bell rang just as James sat down in his seat right next to Carlos. Logan was supposed to show up today. Logan was never late, but was this an exception? Because of the plan? James had so many questions, but he knew they would be answered when they saw Logie's AWESOME plan!

Mrs. Kobake started yelling at the class to pay attention, and started explaining double digit addition. Suddenly, James heard Carlos start laughing. When the teacher was talking. Uh oh, Carlos was gonna get in trouble.

The teacher turned around slowly and planted her ice blue eyes on Carlos. Carlos looked scared, but comforted in some way. James didn't know why, though. "Carlos Garcia? Violation of Rule #1. Choose your punishment."

"No! Please, Mrs. Kobake! I don't want to get hurt!" The teacher just laughed. "No can do, Latino!"

She took out a ruler and hit Carlos with it, and then slapped Carlos across the face a couple times. James counted 10 times. That was two punishments! Not one! That wasn't fair!

Then, she took out a bucket of water. "You get three punishments, just cuz I feel like it." She laughed evilly, and walked calmly over to Carlos's desk. She was about to stuff Carlos's face into the water!

James hadn't seen anyone yet choose the holding breath punishment, because it was too scary! What if they drowned? What if they died?

But, just then, Logan Mitchell came running into the classroom! "Sorry I'm late, new teacher!" He panted, accidentally knocking the bucket over, spilling water all over the floor. Mrs. Kobake wiped it up and slapped Logie's face 10 times straight.

"Who are you, new kid?" she demanded. Logan looked surprisingly happy, like he had just won a race against the fastest kid in school. James suddenly remembered that Logan's plan wasn't... well, working yet. He was worried? Now what? Was Logan outsmarted by this teacher, like everyone else in this school? James sighed, he knew it was too good to be true. Mrs. Kobake would never go away.

"L-logan Mi-mitchell, maam." He stuttered.

"Logan! Your stupid plan didn't work!" Phillip shoved Logan into the wall as they walked out of the classroom. The school day had ended, and no plan of Logan's had been seen. "Stupid, stupid, JERKFACE!"

Carlos was walking by. He saw this and called Kendall over. After he had chased Phillip away, Kendall repeated Phillip's words. "Logan! Your stupid plan didn't work!" He shouted.

But Logan just smiled. Why is he so happy?" Carlos thought.

"Oh, the plan surely did work, thank you Carlos!" Kendall looked at Carlos expectantly. "You were part of this plan! Why didn't you tell me!" Kendall looked steaming angry.

"I didn't know! Logan just told me to get in trouble and get slapped or hit or something by the teacher! I still don't know why that's part of the plan!" Carlos didn't want Kendall, or anyone, to be mad at him. He hadn't done anything wrong. Kendall seemed to calm down.

"Well, Logan Mitchell, what was your plan?" Kendall said.

Logan reached into his backpack and pulled out something. "Carlos, your daddy would love to see this! Tomorrow, Mrs. Kobake will be GONE!"

Suddenly, all the pieces of the puzzle came into Carlos's head. The plan was perfect! Logie was really smart!
