Chapter 10
We all laughed in joy as we watched Mrs. Kobake slap Carlos and hit him with a ruler. It was all on tape, there was no way Mrs. Kobake could pretend to be innocent and get out of this problem. Kendall laughed. "Haha, stupid teacher? Officer Garcia says you're goin to jail!" Only she wasn't there. Kendall was just practicing what he would say when the teacher found out she was arrested.
But Carlos's daddy said they had to go to school one more time and get hit, so they would know Mrs. Kobake truly hadn't changed.
So here they were, four boys reluctantly walking to their torture room. The only fact that kept them happy and going was that the police were gonna wait outside the classroom. One hit, and they would come and arrest Mrs. Kobake.
They all decided that Kendall should be the one getting hit, since Logan came up with the plan, Carlos already got hit on purpose, and James was hit on accident. So, Kendall was scared out of his mind. How would he do it? Should he laugh like Carlos did during class? Then suddenly, he got an idea.
"Mrs. Kobake? Your a mean evilllllll teacher. You know, like that Dark Vader in Star Wars? Except you're just meaner and stupider." Kendall smiled in his head when his teacher stood up with a ruler. "Oh, no you don't, Knight. Don't you call me stupid!" And she started slapping him with the ruler. It hurt badly, but Kendall knew it was all worth it at the end.
As if on cue, which they probably were, Mr. Garcia and two other police guys came into the room, with handcuffs. "Julia Kobake, you are arrested for child abuse! You're not even gonna go on trial!" he shouted angrily. Mrs. Kobake quickly released Kendall, pretending she was innocent. But even her thoughtless brain knew there was no way out of this.
"Why can't I go on trial? It's not like I did this yesterday, or the days before that. You have no proof I abuse children. I... I just hit Kendall because we were playing around!" She shouted. The fear and panic shown in her eyes.
"Indeed we do have proof. Thanks to your new kid, Logan Mitchell!" The class cheered, and Logan seemed embarassed to have so much attention. "He recorded your actions to Carlos yesterday, so we do have proof. Repeat, we do have proof, and you are arrested." The class cheered, but Mrs. Kobake turned back to her class one last time. Her eyes filled with tears.
Kendall thought it was because of her anger, or maybe she was really scared. A crazy part of his brain wanted her to not get arrested. He shook the thoughts out of his head. This was a child abuser! She deserved to be arrested! What was he thinking?
"All of you, especially you!" She yelled, pointing at Logan. He squeaked in fear, and Kendall put his arm around Logan protectively. "I will get revenge! You hear me! You ruined my life! I hate all of you! I-" then she was dragged out of the room. Mr. Garcia stayed in the classroom.
"It's fine, guys. She'll be gone forever, and she'll never be able to teach any kids again, or abuse them. She's probably gonna be in jail for the rest of her life. And next time this happens, please tell an adult, even if someone threatens you not to, alright?" The class nodded, looking relieved that their new teacher was gong forever. Well, who could blame them?
Carlos ran up to his daddy and hugged him really tight. "I wuv you, daddy!

"And in Valley River School, there is case of an abusive teacher. She is now arrested, thanks to the genius plan of 4 year old Logan Mitchell. He recorded all her abusive attitude after he came out of the hopsital. The kids had been in a bus crash, and their fomer teacher, Lisa Simspon, passed away..." The four boys didn't pat attention to the rest. They high-fived Logan and hugged him, thanking him for his genius plans.
"Wogie, your so smart! I wish I cwud be wike you!" Carlos said happily. Of course, Carlos was jealous, he just didn't know how to describe that feeling yet. He didn't even know what it meant!
Just then, Mrs. Knight came into the family room and turn off the TV. "Boy, guess what?" The boys looked at Kendall's mom in anticipation.
"What is it, mom! What is it!" Kendall screamed excitedly. Mrs. Knight just smiled. "I signed you all up for the little hockey team that Valley River has! Kendall, I know you love hockey! Now you can try playing it for real!" Kendall jumped up and down in excitement. James looked happy he could play an actual sport, and it wasn't at school! And Carlos loved this, because he loved everything. But Logan wasn't looking so sure.
"Mrs. Knight? Isn't hockey... really dangerous? Like I saw on TV once, this guy broke his arm and this other guy's eyes started bleeding."
Mrs. Knight chuckled softly. "Logan, those are professionals. You little kids will have more protection on you, and it won't be rough at all. Just have fun, and I know you'll love it!"
Logan looked comforted by Mrs. Knight's words, and started looking excited and curious. The boys haven't played hockey before, and only Kendall had known there was a spot called hockey. He explained it to them all, and the other three boys seemed even more excited. They wanted to start right away, but Mrs. Knight told them it was going to start when kindergarten was over, and during summer break. The boys groaned.
"But Mrs. Knight, I can't wait that wong!" Carlos whined. But Logan told them all, "It's only a week, you know." Carlos had forgot about that. A week wasn't that long, right? Only 24 hours.
Mrs. Knight sighed and got them ready for school for the next day. Logan and James's dads came to pick them up, and finally Carlos's.
Carlos had a good, dreamless sleep. For awhile, that is.
Carlos was stuck in a rope. He was tied to a huge tree. It smelled kinda funny. But all Carlos could feel was pain. He looked up and saw a sharp hammer coming down at his head every few seconds. And there sat Phillip, smirking as usual. He looked at Carlos mockingly. "What can you do, Carly? Your such a wimp, and such a girl!" He laughed. Carlos started crying in pain and fear and anger. All at the same time. He never thought that was possible.
"Pwease stop! I'll do anything for you! I promise! Reawwy, I wiw! Pwease just stop the hammer thing!" Carlos pleased and begged, but to no avail. Phillip just stood there with his stupid face and smiled at Carlos evilly.
"STOP!" Carlos yelped in pain as the hammer went down again. And again. And again... And again... two more times...
Carlos woke up screaming and crying. His mother came running into the bedroom, thinking someone was hurting him. In a way, she was right. "What wrong, sweetie?" Carlos sniffed and told her the whole nightmare. It was the first real nightmare he'd ever had.
Of course, he'd dreamed about his ice cream falling onto the ground, and seeing a huge dog. But, those were considered good dreams conpared to the nightmare Carlos just had.
When Carlos stopped crying, Mrs. Garcia decided to leave him alone for a little bit. When she left, Carlos thought of a great idea! This'll be even better that Wogie's pwan! He thought as he went into the hallway. We reached into the closet, digging until he took out something round and black. It said the name 'Carlos' on it.
His mother had bought it for him when he was a baby, saying he'd need it when he started riding a bike. He always thought it was babyish, and never wore it in case someone teased him about it. But now, he needed it so much. He didn't care what people said about it. He was gonna keep it forever. It would protect him from being hurt in the head again.
His helmet was his protection.
A/N- Well, sorry for the long wait! I was kinda busy, and the Internet broke down for many hours. If you have any requests, then tell me in a review so I can hopefully write about it in following chapters! Please review! Please, can I get at least 8 reviews! That would make me so happy!
Fun fact: Did you know, one of the characters were named after me, and acts like me, too? Guess who! (I won't even tell you my gender!)
