DISCLAIMER: I don't own X-men Evolution
Chapter Seven
" Anyone but HIM"
Wanda had a breakdown at lunch over the idea of her afternoon class. Logan decided that perhaps she was overworking (or possibly having a female problem, which he did NOT want to know about ) so he offered to take her class for the day.
" Oh thank God! Yes,please!" Wanda exclaimed as she escaped the dining room before he could change his mind.
" Ya know, I tought you idiots, they can't be that bad." Logan comments to Kitty.
" Probably,why?" Kitty replies, having just arrived.
" I'm teaching Wanda's afternoon course." Logan replies.
"...Just. try not to kill him." Kitty replies, as she suddenly remembers something that she has to do ( not at all because there was a chance Logan would ask her to do it instead. Not at all.)
" Who?" Logan asks the now empty room. Jamie?, no wait! Remy and Rogue are stuck with him for the afternoon... there's no one worse than Jamie though, I'm sure it fine.
~o~O~o~
Logan entered the room an hour later, and Julien,Paige,Jonothon, and Laura were already waiting for him.
" Where's Mrs Alleryce?" Paige questions.
" She's busy, so I'm takin over for the day." Logan replies. " NO funny business" he continues, glaring at Paige and Jonothon.
" Today we will be covering The Baby Apo- um I mean, multiplication." Logan begins.
" Now if you have one stupid teenage boy and three stupid teenage girls, and one of these stupid teenage girls has a family history of twins, how many babies have been added to our impending doom?"
" um 74?" Julien questions.
Jonothon, Paige, and Laura look at him blankly. Logan glares, trying to decide if he's stupid or sarcastic.
" Anyone else?" Logan says finally.
" Why, what was wrong with my answer?" Julien demands.
" That's not possible, there were only three girls." Logan replies.
" Wouldn't the answer very, considering the probability of multiples, amongst teenage female?" Laura questions.
" Fine. What's the answer. 5 times 1." Logan demands.
" 74?" Julien states.
"*sigh* Anyone else?" Logan demands.
" WHY?" Julien demands, as Paige states " 5, and the answer of the first question, ignoring the chance of variables is 4."
" HOW" Julien demands, as Logan states " Correct, thank you Paige." as he sticks a gold star on her forehead.
" I want a star" Julien states.
" Give me a correct answer, you get a star." Logan replies.
" Now, if you have one baby, and it uses eight diapers a day, how many diapers will it need during one week?" Logan asks
" 74!" Julien states proudly.
"56." Laura replies, quietly.
" Good Laura." Logan states, putting a gold star on her forehead. " Julien do you always say 74?"
" Yes" comes the reply from the other three students, in tired voices.
" Nuh uh, there's also 47." Julien states proudly."...wait the answer was 47 wasn't it?"
" No Julien, it was 56. That's why Laura got the star." Logan states, trying to remain patient.
" Okay, hers an easy one. 74 times 1." Logan states, throwing Julien a bone. They all look expectantly at him
"..." Julien stares at them all for a while, just when they think he's not going to say anything he finally states " 56,789"
" ARG!" Logan screams.
"74!" Jonothon screams, equally annoyed with the boy who he was somehow stuck with as a roommate.
" No that's just stupid." Julien explains calmly." 74 was in the question."
"... Any number times 1 is itself." Paige states, while placing a hand on Jonothon's arm to calm him.
"NO PHYSICAL CONTACT!" Logan screams. " AND JULIEN JUST BE QUIET IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER"
" But.." Julien pouts " I want a star"
"...If you can be quiet for the next ten minutes I'll give you a star." Logan replies.
" Okay." Julien replies.
Logan turns back to the board, but before he can begin to write he hears humming, he turns back around. " Humming is not being quiet." Logan states.
" Sorry." Julien replies.
Logan turns back around and is halfway through writing the next equation when he hears a pen clicking. " What the Fu- fudge?!"
" Huh?" Julien questions, still clicking the pen while staring out of the window.
" CLASS DISMISSED!" Logan exclaims, unable to take anymore.
"What about my star?" Julien questions.
" Fine." Logan states walking up to the boy, and putting a star on his forehead with a bit more force then he intended.
The children stand to leave and overhears two very upsetting statements.
" Works every time." Whispered by Julien himself. and " So are you still taking Laura to dinner tonight?" Questioned by Jonothon.
" NOOOO!" Logan screams, startling all of them. "Laura, stay I need to talk to you."
Laura shrugs and sits back down stating " Okay, Dad." a term she's recently started using for him
" Wait, Mr Logan's your father?" asks a suddenly paling Julien.
" Yes, I'll see you tonight." Laura replies. Julien nods, and walks out of the room.
"Why?" Logan asks
" Why, what?" Laura replies.
" Why him? AnyONE but him" Logan states. " The boy's an idiot!"
" The articles I have read on the subject of dating stated that it is normal teenage behaviour to date an unacceptable boy to annoy your parents." Laura replies.
" What?" Logan questions.
" You suggested that I attempt to behave in a normal manner, so as to not draw attention to myself." Laura continues. " So I borrowed some teen magazines, and read the instructions on normal teen behavior. It said that I was to compliant, and that I was to rebel. The most common form of rebellion amongst teenage girls is an unacceptable mate."
"... I didn't mean that you should go mainstream teenager,Laura." Logan begins. " I meant that you should practice different speech patterns."
" May I be excused? I must prepare for my date." Laura states. " The article stated that if you forbid me, I will go anyway."
Logan rubs his temples and gestures for her to leave. These kids were going to kill him. He was sure of it. He was pretty sure he may have had a fatal stroke during this conversation. However, he always recovers from these things. Still... He needed a drink, and Wanda owed him. Big time.
