!!I DO NOT OWN THE SECRET SATURDAYS!!

Zak Goes To Middle School

Chapter 4, Lunch And Mr. Parks!

I eagerly watched the clock tick by in my Cryptozoology class. Mr. Philips was still talking to the students again and asking them questions. I already knew the answer to the questions he asked, every single one Mr. Philips asked me about a cryptid I would answer correctly. This always made Mr. Philips scowl at hme while I smirked at how frustrated he was. I couldn't utter but just a quick, small laugh. I kept my mind blank all the time, I had gotten used to it and concentrated on what my answer was instead of anyhting else.

"Zak Saturday." I looked over to Mr. Philips.

"Yeah, Mr. P?" I taunted. He scowled at me.

"Stay after class for a few minutes, I have to talk to you."

I frowned and the bell rang. Ugh! Why me?! When everyone was out of the class Mr. Philips looked to the window to see three guys, Aidan, and Wadi staring at me through the glass window. He walked over to it and covered the window with a blind. Three of the shadows disappeared while Aidan's and Wadi's just ducked down and moved away. Mr. Philips turned away and I glanced at the window again to see two of the shadows come back. I couldn't thank them yet for staying behind.

"So what are you going to ask me now?" I asked Mr. P.

"So your family studies cryptids. Has a pheorstic pet. A Fiskerton Pahntom cryptid. And a genetically altered komodo dragon named Komodo." He whispered, naming my brothers and sister.

I tensed up. "Yeah. So?" I couldn't trust him. . . .

"And your parents are," He said in a whisper, "Secret Scientist."

I said out loud, "So?" I cocked an eyebrow at him, surprised he'd seen so much though never showed it.

"Your a very . . . unusual kid. Now go." Mr. Philips pointed to the door and I quickly got out of the classroom.

I closed the door behind me and leaned against it wiht my hands still on it. Wadi and Aidan were in front of me and I smiled at them. "Thanks for staying guys." I said and then went to my locker. It was lunch time and Wadi had hot lunch. "You can go to lunch already, I don't mind." Aidan had cold lunch and I opened my locker and grabbed mine.

"We wont leave without you, its just not fun." Wadi said getting a slight blush.

I smiled at her warmly and we all began to fats walk down the hall to the lunch room since it was a rule not to run, but they didn't say anyhting about fast walking! I smirked at the thought, thinking Mr. Philips was far away from him as possible. We entered the lunch room and it wasn't that much full and the lines were small. Guess no one came yet. I thought and Aidan and I walked over to the second table closest to the outside window. I sat at the edge by the bleachers. I looked into my lunch and started to eat it. Aidan had a peanut butter and butter sandwitch with a Chewy Bar and a water botttle. I had a water bottle filled with soda, a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwitch, and an apple that Aidan had given me. I was satisfied. Wadi came after getting her lunch and sat across from me. Some guys stared at me with jeaousy clear in their eyes. I glanced at them and smirked at their expressions. Wadi looked up at me to see it. I realized this and motioned to the guys. Wadi started snickering.

"What?" Aidan asked. Zak told her that the guys at the other tables were jealous of him. "Oh!"

A blonde haired kid with flat blond hair that curled at the back on the ends that wore a simple white and green shirt with plain blue jeans that Zak had saw in class. His name was Noah if he could remember.

"Hey Noah." Aidan greeted.

"Hey." He relied, he didn't sound cheerful.

"Whats up? Is your dad being hard on you again?"

"Yeah." Noah sighed.

"Excuse me," I interuppted their talk, "but who is your father, Noah?"

"Hes the princible of WoodCave. Who're you?" Noah asked.

"Oh, I'm Zak Saturday." Then I pointed to Wadi, "And this is Wadi Hassi." She waved shyly at him.

"Zak Saturday?" He seemed to think about something private then smiled at Wadi and me, "Nice to meet you. And you too Wadi."

I continued to eat my lunch and finally it was gone, Aidan the same. We waited until Wadi was done and then she joined us in waiting for Noah. He looked up uncomfortably and I turned around so he would look ast my back and looked around at the other five tables filled with people. A shadowed figure blocked my sight and I looked up at his face. He had red hair, green eyes that looked like they would kill me. Ha! Ha! If looks could kill! I commented in my mind but responded out loud, "What?"

"You, and me, outside now." He said his voice was squeky besides what I thought it would be like. I giggled a bit trying not to laugh so hard. "Whats so funny kid?"

I giggled again by hearing it, "One thing is my name is not kid, and the other is . . ." I couldn't respond because he picked me up by the shirt collar and began to carry me away outside. Wadi, Aidan, and Noah were watching. Noah put away his tray and they ran after me. "Hey whats your name, Squeky?" I taunted.

"Well to you its not Squeky!" I laughed hard at his voice I couldn't resist plus this kid was trying to beat me up, well of what I thought he was going to do. "Its Jeremy!"

"Fine. Then can you please put me down now, Jeremy?" I asked kindly but in an unkindly tone.

"Yeah." He threw me to the ground. We were across the street from the school, other kids were watching us from where they stood by the trees. Guess this is the compass I thought. Jeremy cracked his knuckles in front of me. Now I wish I had the Claw with me. I looked behind him to only see Noah and Aidan stare at me. I lipped to them Wheres Wadi and the shrugged shaking their heads. I stood up as Jeremy spoke.

"I'm showing you, new kid, that I'm the boss of this school." He smirked at me. I got in my fighting stance if I didn't have the Claw. Jeremy ran at me and I jumped over him in a back flip at the last minute and smiled. Regular people were so slow. Jeremy hit a tree then looked back to me, I was surprised he wasn't unconcious by that. I looked behind me, a tree, plenty of branches, and lots of leaves to keep everything up there hidden. Perfect. Jeremy ran at me again and I climbed the tree reaching on of the touch branches covered with the leaves, no one could see me.

"Come back you chicken." Jeremy yelled up at the tree.

"But if I came back you'd loose Squeky!" I taunted and started laughing, trying to get him angry so his attack would be blind hitting. I swooped down from the tree once I spotted Wadi running toward us, no one was wiht her and I sighed with relief about that. But she was holding something. What is that!? A stick!? Jeremy jogged up to me wiht his fist back and pulled it forward trying to punch me. I caught his strike in the palm of my hand he tried it with the other fist and I blocked that one too.

"Zak! Catch!" I heard Wadi say.

I kicked Jeremy in the leg and he gasped in pain backing away and holding onto his kneecap. I turned around and saw the Claw flying straight at me. I grabbed it and nodded to Wadi, "Thanks!" I looked toward Jeremy and he strightened up. I held the Claw with btoh hands and smirked.

"Your going to beat me wiht s stick?" Jeremy said.

"Yeah, but a cool stick." I lifted the Claw in the air while pressing the red button that let the graphling hook losen and then swinged it at Jeremy with my strength. My powers urged me to use them but I wouldn't allow it, people would ask questions about my powers. There was no use to use them anyways, there was no cryptids around. The cord wrapped itself around Jeremy's feet and a tripped him, it was kind of hard by how much wieght he was. But Munya was a lot harder, including the cryptids, so it was low rate. This isn't even worth it. I returned the graphling hook to the Claw's stick form and put it on my belt. "Alright, this isn't even worth it, its just too pat5hetic to fight you." I said and turned around walking away. I saw Aidan, no Noah, and Wadi. "Wheres Noah?" I asked them and they shrugged. A shadow came into my view and I looked behind me, there was the worst person I ever thought, besides Argost, I wouldn't want to see. Mr. Philips staring down at me, I turned my mind blank and kept a straight face. "Yes, Mr. Philips?" I asked.

"Who startred this?" He questioned frowning at how I still remembered.

"Jeremy." The trio, including me, said.

"I'll be right back. Stay here." Mr. Philips walked away and, when I thought he was out of distance, surfaced my mind again.

I looked behind me to see Jeremy panting, "This isn't over yet!"

I smirked and he charged at me angryly. I kicked him in the stomach for defence, following the rules of self defence doesn't get you sued. He backed away then I grabbed the Claw again this time wrapping the cord around his nody and then pulling on it makinf it undo and him tiwst like a ballerina. I saw his face and punch it as a medium amount of my strength. His body flew up into a tree and hung there, uncincious and possibly nasuated. Mr. Philips came back with a blonde haired young man in a grey strpied suit and black shoes.

"Let's go. We have to go find Noah." I put the Claw away so no one could see it, but I bet all the other kids did. The blonde haired man saw us but let us pass, I kept my mind blank wiht Mr. Philips around, the black haired telepthic teacher wierded me out. When we were in the hall I saw Noah in a locker. "Noah." I called, I had nothing on me, not even a scratch and Noah seemed surprised by that.

"I don't believe you made it out, well, alive." Noah responded picking up a binder and science book, no one was in the halls.

"Why are you--" Wadi began.

"Science." Noah said interrupting her, "You three have it too don't you?" We nodded. "Then hurry before the halls get packed."

I walked to my locker and Aidan to hers as well as Wadi. I grabbed my binder and Science book. I wonder what Mr. Parks is like. . . . I wondered then all four of us went to Mr. Parks room it was one of the two doors that was by the glass doors that led to the Math class that was outside since there wasn't anymore room in the Pod. We all entered to find a, of course as I had guessed like every teacher, young man about close to his thirties.

"What? Your all the students I have left that survived school?" Mr. Parks joked and I smiled at his remark.

"Halfway. I might die in Math though." Mr. Parks laughed at what I said and high-fived me.

"Nice one. Whats your name?"

"Zak Saturday."

"Oh--! Zakkie!"

I placed my binder and Science book quickly by Wadi and moaned as the open seat next to me was taken. The row we were at was in the second row till the last. And the worst part of Science was . . . I had to sit by Natalie. Natalie hugged me, wrapping her arms around my neck. I thought I was going to suffocate! I glanced at Wadi for help and as I tried to rake Natalie's arm off me. Wadi's face was slight red from anger while she pried the red head's arms off.

"Thank you." Wadi nodded to me.

Other kids began to walk in to the classroom.

"There was a hallway jam." A guy excused and then sat soemwhere in class.

I sat in my seat as well as the others and whispered over to Wadi, "I guess we were lucky Noah was smart enough to predict that hallway jam."

"Yeah." She said back to me.

Mr. Parks sat on a stool that was the chair to his made up desk in front of the class. And spoke up while tittyling a pencil on the made up desk, "Welcome class. Writing my name on the board is real boring so I'm just going to up and tell 'ya. My name is Jacob Parks but you can also call me Jay. So this is Science. Can anyone tell me what Science is?" Some kids raised there hands, "You," he pointed at a girl with red hair sitting in the back row, "whats your name?"

"My name is Stacey." She said and I turned around to look at her.

"Can you answer my question for us?"

"Yes. I believe that Science is--" Mr. Parks interrupted her.

"Do you have any toe jam?" I covered my mouth holding in my laughter, I could see others did too.

"Excuse me?" Stacey asked, startled and embrassed by his question.

I watched as Jay walk up to Stacey from his desk. He put his pencil on her desk pulled out her chair and grabbed her foot. I couldn't hold in my laughter and I burst out laughing. I wasnt used to holding it in, I was used to laughing whenever I wanted too. Mr. Parks looked up and and I shut my mouth. He motioned me to come over to him, I obeyed and hesitatingly walked over to him.

"Take off her shoe." My face flushed and Mr. Parks snikcered.

I turned my head the other direction and took off her shoe reluctantly. I could hear Mr. Parks tellingme to take off her sock and I looked at him like he was insane. Luckily I was saved by a very familier voice that made me sigh in relief.

"Hey mini-man. Hope you dont mind me busting in your class here." The red headed mohawk, cool, awesome, nonjetpack right now, Uncle Doyle said.

"Uncle Doyle!" I said increduously and smiled at him. Doyle looked over my situation.

"Uh. . . ?"

"Dont ask." I said. Mr. Parks looked toward my Uncle.

"Hello. I'm Zak's teacher right now, can I ask what I cool dude like you is here?" Jacob said.

"Oh! Hey teacher person. I'm Doyle Blackwell, I just came to watch what this class is all doing and stuff. Can help but to listen. What subject is this?" Doyle explained.

"This is Science. Please take a seat wherever you like Doyle."

"Sure thing." Doyle walked over to Mr. Parks original desk and sat down in a leather movable chair. "Please dont mind me. Continue."

"Take off her sock now Zak." Mr. Park told me to do.

I cringed, looked away and regretfully took off her sock. Mr. Parks studied Stacey's foot. By now everyone was laughing up a storm and Stacey's face was as red as a tomato. I could help but surpress a giggle.

"Hmm. . . . She seems clear. Alright Stacey put your sock and shoe back on. Zak sit back down. But you have to give me a high five first." Mr. Parks said.

I gave him a high five and sat back down next to Wadi and Natalie. Natalie winked at me and I felt like throwing up until Wadi shouldered me and the feeling passed. "Dude that was funny." I heard Doyle comment. Mr. Parks nodded to him and sat back down on the stool and a kid threw his pencil to him. Jay caught it and then faced the class again.

"Okay. We dont need anyone to tell us what Science is 'cause probally every one of you know already."

Especially me when I'm with my dad. I thought. Mr. Parks continued on and showed us what everything in his classroom was. He also included Doyle in his teachings, I became their number one test subject. But accually today this period was my most favorite!

Oh this was a long chapter I think to all of you. I hope you all enjoyed that I added Doyle. He was someone I just HAD to add in. I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter I spent some time thinking on it. Bye bye! :D
