Time Warp: Chapter 4-School Days: Tackle Football
*****
A lone figure sat eating lunch up in the shadows of the bleachers as a couple jocks, and a guy that looked like he didn't belong with them at all, made their way out onto the field.
Logan tossed his leather jacket onto the grass and turned to face Duncan and his boys. "Yeh, so now what?"
Duncan's friends laughed and he grinned evilly, glancing at Logan with the football in his hand. "Now we have some fun." He tossed the football hard at Logan who caught it easily and without effort. "You versus me an' the boys." he smirked again. "Since you obviously think you're so tough. Let's just call it a little payback for that tackle in gym class." he sneered.
Logan just grunted with a smirk of his own. "So, what d'ya expect me ta do? Try an' get through you guys?"
"Standing." Duncan added with a grin, glancing back at his friends who all were making quiet snide remarks and trying to hide their laughter.
The figure up in the bleachers grew wide-eyed at the display of egotistical jocks trying to show up the new guy just because their leader had a superiority complex. Well, that was her opinion anyway. She deserted her lunch and snuck further down the bleachers so that she was closer to the action, noticing how there were now 5 jocks against one guy, who was really cute, she also happened to notice. 'That's just unfair.' she thought angrily, hugging close to the shadows.
"No problem." Logan grumbled, then got in position to charge at the teens. He watched them crouch down and prepare to tackle him as soon as he moved, but Logan just grinned wolfishly and charged.
"Get him boys!" Duncan shouted and they all dove for Logan.
Logan easily shouldered his way through the jocks, that were all much taller than he, grinning as he got his own licks in along the way. After elbowing two in the face, tripping one, then charging another head on and flattening the kid on his back, Logan was left facing Duncan. He paused, just long enough to savor the moment. He knew he shouldn't be taking advantage of his abilities (well, the bulk of his metal skeleton anyways) like this, but right now Logan didn't care. He wasn't going to hurt them...bad.
The girl hiding in the bleachers watched with an amused grin on her face as the anti-jock teen whooped the other guys' butts.
"I'm gonna bury you mutie!" Duncan yelled, his face twisting in rage.
Logan mentally sighed. Maybe he should let the kid knock him down once...then kick his ass. As Duncan charged at him, Logan pretended to be taken by surprise and allowed himself to be knocked to the ground. He heard Duncan laugh contently and was about to get to his feet when he heard a girl's voice.
"Hey asshole!" the girl from the shadows emerged, running full-speed at the jock who was too wrapped up in his own glory to notice.
Logan got up as a small girl, shorter than him, charged Duncan, surprising the kid, then jumped on his back and started pounding her small fists into him for all she was worth. He stared in awe at the teenage girl's fury and found himself too shocked to do anything.
The girl pounded furiously on Matthews, not showing signs of letting up. "You..stupid...jerk!!" She yelled. Just as she was about to pound into him again an authorative voice called from behind.
"Stop it! All of you! Right now!"
It was Principal Kelly, but the girl didn't care at all. Just when she was ready to land more punches on Duncan, he tossed her off his back, making her fall hard onto the grass and scrape her chin.
As Logan watched Duncan hurl the angry girl away from him, seemingly unaware that Principal Kelly was approaching, he grew angrier, emitting a low growl from his chest as he tackled Duncan, sprawling the kid out on his back.
"ENOUGH!" Kelly yelled at the teens, anger and resentment clearly written across his face.
"Principal Kelly! Sir, I didn't do anything, I swear!" Duncan looked around for his pals, but at the sight of the principal they all must have taken off. Now the only ones to lay blame on were this mysterious girl and the new kid.
"And YOU Mister!" Kelly pointed at Logan. "Be aware that I'm adding a week's detention to the one you have after school today!" he snarled, then glared at all three of the kids who were dirty, and some bruised from having been fighting. "All of you to my office right this instant! You'll all be joining Mr. Logan in detention after school today, along with next week!"
Duncan bowed his head and started marching back to the school building. The girl followed along, but less sulkily and more angrily. Then Logan finally went afterwards, picking his jacket up off the ground along the way.
*****
Logan and the girl sat just outside the Principal's office as he now talked with Duncan. They were each missing their last two classes, but none of them cared.
Logan sat back with his arms crossed, and kept looking over at the girl. She was small, as his first impression had suggested, and she had short black hair, with dark red streaks that reached just below her earlobes, and longer bangs that framed her pale face. He noticed her chin had a little scrape, probably from getting thrown off Duncan, and her black clothes were grass stained and a little torn. Logan looked over himself, also noticing that his (well, really Scott's) white t-shirt was ripped on the right shoulder, and his faded jeans had ripped knees and grass and dirt stains.
"What?" the girl asked, noticing that the other kid kept staring at her.
Logan shrugged. "You musta had alot o' anger ta pound into Duncan like ya did." he half smiled.
"Yeh, well that asshole deserved it." she straightened in the uncomfortable chair, lowering her voice when the secretary at the desk near them glared at her. She cocked her head to the side, looking Logan over. "Why the hell would he put four other guys on you anyway?" she shook her head, disgusted with the stupid jock.
Logan shrugged again. "I dunno, sort of a 'hazing the new guy' thing I guess. B'sides, I took 'em didn't I?" he smirked.
The girl half smiled. "Yeh, you take care of jocks pretty good." she shifted in her chair again. "I figured you could've taken Duncan easy, but why take all the heat?" she laughed quietly. "I couldn't stay out of the fight. It looked like too much fun. Besides, I got my own issues with guys like that."
Logan chuckled lowly. "So, what's yer name kid?"
"Hallie." she smiled at him. "You?"
"Logan."
Hallie nodded, then looked at him questioningly. "You new too?"
"Too?" Logan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeh, I came here last week. Guess I'm old now." she smiled as Logan nodded and scratched his chin. "And I guess we'll get to know eachother more with all the detentions we got together."
"Yeh." Logan sighed. He would be extremely surprised if Professor Xavier didn't find out about this. And even more surprised if he didn't lecture him for it.
