I don't own the book Household Gods. Don't sue me. Also I got the chapter name from Gavin DeGraw of his song, "I Don't Wanna Be."

Chapter 6 - I Don't Wanna Be
Rogue's mouth dropped open. I can't believe Logan has a daughter. I always thought Logan the fatherly type.
"Umm, well it's nice to meet you Dru, it's just that I never knew Logan had a daughter." Ugh! It came out all wrong. Dru must think I'm rude.
"Not your fault. Logan has a "don't ask and I'll never tell you in 100 fucking years" policy." and with that Dru started to work on the trigonometry questions.
Fifteen minutes later, Cyclops went over to Dru's desk to see if she had completed the assignment and wasn't behind on the assignment. By this time Dru had already finished her work and was now reading "Household Gods" by Judith Tarr and Harry Turtledove.
"Dru, let me see your work." Cyclops says. I bet she hasn't even done it.
"Hold on." Dru put a picture of a shirtless guy in a loin cloth as a bookmark in her book and handed Cyclops her class work. Cyclops looked at it over carefully to see that there was no mistakes. I bet she copied it off Rogue or read her other classmate's minds.
"I know what you're thinking and I didn't copy the answers. I know all the answers." Dru crossed her arms over her chest.
"Okay, well since you know this chapter, how about I give you an extra assignment that only you are assigned to."
This way I'll know that whether you cheated or now.
"Sure, no problem, how about I come after I finish my classes to do the extra assignment with you in the classroom so that there's no way that I cheated." Dru said this through gritted teeth.
Cyclops turned around and went back to his desk. He started grading papers when he heard Dru's voice talking to him in his head. Don't try to penalize me for what my father did to you. I may be his off-spring but you don't have to take it out on me. Cyclops closed his eyes pretending as if he was taking a breather. Dru kept talking to him in his head.
Besides, Jean really loved Logan and not you but she couldn't stand losing you so she pushed my father away. Oh, and by the way, I'll bend the rules just for you of no dating older men and I'll make an exception for you.
Cyclops opened his eyes to see that students' were putting their things away. Rogue and Pyro had already put their things away and Dru didn't bring anything but a pen, a notebook, and her book, so she didn't need anything to put away. Storm had given Dru every textbook she would need for her classes but she didn't want to lug those heavy books everywhere. Instead the books would come to her.
When the bell rang and the students started filing out they didn't bother looking way up and seeing a book flying in mid air above Dru's head. Before she left for chemistry, Pyro had asked if she wanted to get together at lunch and smoke. Dru accepted the offer nonchalantly and thought to herself if things went well with Pyro they could become smoking buddies. Who knows they could be more than that but Dru wanted to let things work their course.
As Dru walked in and low and behold look who would be teaching chemistry was Logan. Dru walked up to her father who had his head in a magazine reading an article in Motorcycle Delux.
"I didn't know my dad was a regular Einstein." Dru said sarcastically.
"I'm not but I'm teaching chemistry until we find an Einstein. We had one but. . ." Logan stammered off.
"I know about Jean, I know what happened. God, you should know by now that I can read minds." Dru said irritated.
Dru grabbed something from her back pocket and handed it over to Logan. It was a cuban cigar.
"Here, it's Honduras. It tastes like your smoking a chili pepper but its good." Dru said roughly.
"Thanks." Logan put away the cigar and Dru sat in the last row in the corner.
She wanted to observe people from her desk and not vice versa. Dru took out her book from her back pocket and started to read it, she had finshed the last page of the fourth chapter of her book when she sensed someone watching her from the side. Dru darted her eyes and caught Bobby staring at her. She gave him a smile and he started to blush and went back to listening Logan drone on about chemical properties. Dru didn't have to listen to her father talk about chemistry because she already knew everything about chemistry.
Stryker had taught Dru to talk seven different languages, chemistry, trigonometry, philosophy, and she had always had a love for reading. When her father had left her when she was little, he had left behind a book that Logan had wanted to give to her but he had left unexpectantly like he disappeared off the face of the world. Even now, she never read that book, if she forced herself not to read the first page which in a the top right corner Dru's father had written: " To the heart of my heart you will always be loved by me no matter what", then she wouldn't let the hurt out.
Dru had read countless books but she never had the heart to read the book her father had left to her. She even bet that her father forgot about giving it to her. Dru's mother had found it in a hidden compartment in their attic. The book reminded her of all the times Logan wasn't there for her and she didn't want to open pandora's box anytime soon. Dru was taken out of her thoughts when the bell rang.
"Study pages 39-45 ." Logan yelled to the class as they started going to their next class. Dru was the last one to leave chemistry and Logan didn't look at Dru when she started leaving. Dru peeked back into the classroom to see Logan lighting up the cigar. Logan took one puff of it and started to gag on it.
"I forgot to tell you that it's a trick cigar. I bought in a joke shop and it tastes like ass. Hehehe.." Dru said and ran off to her next class.
"Druuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Logan screamed. He went out the room and looked out into the hallway to see that it there was no one in sight. He started to go back into the room when he heard a stifled laugh. Logan looked up and saw that Nightcrawler was hanging upside down, obviously laughing. Logan looked a little bit closer and saw that Dru was hiding behing Nightcrawler.
"Dru! Get down here!" Logan's face started to get red.
"Dru's not here, please leave a message and if she gives a damn she'll call you back. Beep!" Dru said imitating an answering machine. Dru came out from behind Nightcrawler and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks, for trying. We should get together and do some practical tricks next time and then later ask for forgiveness." Dru gave Nightcrawler a high five.
"No problem. After what you have done, you should do five hail mary's and then you will be forgiven." Nightcrawler said in a serious voice.
"Not after what she's done, she is going to be needing an exorcist!" Logan said furiosly.
"Not even an exorcist can cure me Logan. I've already tried." sarcastically Dru said.
"Why the hell did you give me an ass tasting cigar?!" Logan spat out.
Dru ignored Logan's question and got down from the ceiling. She wiped off some dust that she got from the ceiling and started to walk away. I'm not letting Dru walk off without telling me why she is always a bitch to me.
"I heard that. You keep forgetting that I can read your mind. Plus, I'm a bitch because I was made programmed that way. You figure it out. I already know what I have to do for the rest of my classes. I'm going out." Dru started walking away towards her room.
"You get your ass back here!" angrily Logan says.
Dru turns to face Logan and shouts, "Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do and what not to do?! You haven't been my dad for a long time and you're not in hell going to start now!" With that, Dru turned back round and started heading for her room.
"What am I to do with Dru?!" Logan says to nobody.
"May I be of service?" Nightcralwer asked. He had seen the whole confrontation from the comfort of the ceiling.
"No." rudely Logan said.
"Oh, okay. But I must warn you that she will sooner or later snap just like she did this morning." Nightcrawler said deviously.
"You were watching?! And you didn't help?" Logan didn't need to relieve the horror anytime soon.
"I thought you were handling it." Nightcrawler smiled to himself but saw that Logan was ready to kill somebody and he wiped the smile on his face.
"Shut up" Logan started to head back into the classroom when he saw that the students were starting to file out and go to their next class.
"I got to go, keep an eye on her, will you?" Logan asked Nightcrawler who was now back on the ground.
"Okay." Nightcrawler disappeared in a huff.
"How did my life get so fucked up?" Logan said to no one.
