Thanks To: All the reviewers!; you guys rock!

Note: Okay, to answer a question...(a question I've been wondering about myself. heh x_0;) This isn't going to be a ROGAN, but I was going to have it be Logan/Hallie(an OC that I'm bringing in next chap. In my other fics with Hallie in 'em, she and Logan are somewhat of an item...but I dunno if I'll be doin' that here 'cuz of the age dif. and in my other fics Hallie's older.) *shrugs* Well, you'll see what's gonna happen later! *grins*

Time Warp: Chapter 3-School Days: Lunch

*****

By lunch time Logan had already got kicked out every class he'd attended, even P.E. where the only thing he did wrong was tackle Duncan Matthews during a game of 'flag' football. It wasn't *his* fault that the little pissant had the nerve to call him a 'pansy' for not fighting earlier.

Logan sat in Principal Kelly's office, reclining back in the junky wooden chair and propping his feet on the desk, much to Kelly's annoyance.

"Well, what have you got to say for yourself young man?" Kelly stared him down authoratively, letting know Logan that he was the student and he hadn't been acting appropriate. It didn't help in the matter that the Principal was so blatantly prejudice against mutants.

Logan shrugged, dropping his feet from the desk and leaning forward in the chair. "I didn't do anythin' in those classes. Guess the teachers jus' didn't like me." he said with a smirk.

Kelly stood, gripping the edge of his desk so hard that his knuckles were white. "I wouldn't exactly call; backmouthing the teacher, leaving the building when you were asked to come to my office, carving up a desk with your...mutant claw things, tackling another student, and walking out of class because it was 'boring', nothing young man."

'There he goes again with that 'young man' crap.' Logan mused to himself, a sneer of annoyance on his face. He let out a heavy sigh and stood up, glaring at Principal Kelly. "Well what do ya wanna do with me? Tie me to a desk an' tape my mouth shut?" he asked sarcastically.

Kelly frowned and crossed his arms over his chest. "The only reason you're not getting suspended is because it's your first day, so I'm giving you a detention. And you better show up!" he added, pointing a finger at Logan's chest. "Now get to lunch." he directed, glancing at Logan's schedule on his desk and tossing it back at him.

Logan snatched the paper, then casually walked out of the office. He glanced at the detention slip that was along with his schedule and stuffed it in his pocket. He considered blowing off the detention, but then the Professor would find out about it and lecture him on being a 'positive influence' on the children. Logan shook his head and growled. "The things I get into." he mumbled, walking towards the quad for lunch.

Logan took a seat at a table in the far corner of the lunch area outside, keeping as far away from the other teenagers as possible. A bunch of kids kept eyeing Logan with curious looks, but whenever he glared at them sharply they'd go back to eating their food quickly like they were scared of him. He grinned to himself, then reclined in his seat and looked around realizing that his stomach was growling. "Hmph." Logan grumbled to himself. "Forgot about lunch." he sighed, then looked up when he heard someone approaching.

"Hey, Logan, can I like, sit down?" Kitty asked as she approached him with a smile, a brown lunchbag in hand.

"Sure Half-Pint." he replied gruffly.

"So, how's your first day going?"

Logan scoffed. "Great." he mumbled sarcastically, then his stomach growled again.

"Did you bring a lunch?" Kitty asked curiously, pulling her sandwich from the lunchbag.

Logan shook his head, crossing his arms and leaning against the table. "Nope." he shrugged.

Kitty half smiled and passed over half of her sandwich. "Here, I usually only eat half anyway and save the rest for later.

Logan eyed the sandwich suspiciously then picked it up and smelled it. "Peanut butter an' jelly?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Kitty took a sip from her juicebox and shrugged. "I'm a vegetarian, remember?"

"Right." Logan mumbled before wolfing down the half sandwich with a slight grimace on his face. Peanut butter and jelly wasn't something he favored, but it was better than nothing. He then leaned back in his chair again, watching Kitty. "You don't gotta sit with me y'know. You can sit with yer friends if ya want."

"No, that's okay." Kitty frowned a little bit. "I find that since everyone knows we're mutants, I don't have too many friends outside of the institute kids." Before Logan could say anything, she tilted her head to the side and smiled. "That's okay though, they're nicer anyways."

Logan just grunted and leaned against his elbow on the table, getting interrupted when someone's hand clamped down on his shoulder. He looked up, then swatted the hand away and stood defensively. "What do you want...Duncan?" he growled.

The cocky jock smiled smugly tossing the football tucked under his arm into the air and catching it. "Oh, me and the guys just wanted to know if you wanted to play a little tackle before next class? You know, just for fun." Duncan said with a smirk.

Logan's lip started to curl into a snarl and Kitty just sat there staring at them. He then grinned slyly at Duncan and his buddies standing behind him in their school jackets. "Alright bub, yer on."

"Uh Logan, I don't think-" Kitty started, but Logan put up a hand to shush her.

"Don't worry 'bout it Half-Pint." he told her, then followed after the jocks toward the field.

Kitty slumped back down in her chair. "This is not gonna be good..." she mumbled out loud, shaking her head.
