Monday morning at school there's a mandatory assembly in the auditorium*

What do you think the assembly is about this time? "James says already bored"

I hope it's about installing heaters in the classrooms. It gets so cold sometimes "Logan says"

It'll probably be a fire safety demonstration "Kendall says"

Or maybe adding chocolate covered corndogs to the lunch menu in the cafeteria "Carlos says"

That's disgusting dude. Don't you get enough sugar your choco crunchies cereal? "Logan says"

No I need a lot of fuel for all my energy "Carlos says"

The guidance counselor Mr. Cross walks onto the stage and up to a microphone* Attention students you're all in here today for a very important announcement. There's gonna be a school talent show. At the end of the month. All grades are allowed to sign up however there are still school rules to follow. No pyrotechnics, no weapons only with the exception martial arts, all animals MUST be well behaved and house trained. You can work on your own or in groups but you can't neglect your responsibility as a student to complete your school assignments. That is all. Dismissed

Everyone walks out to go to 1st period*

Wow a school talent show. How exciting is this? "Logan says opening his locker"

You're actually gonna sign up? "James says"

Yeah you don't think I should? "Logan says"

I'm not sure. What are your talents? "James says"

We've known each other since kindergarten and you're telling me you don't have any idea of my talents are? "Logan says slightly annoyed"

You don't really talk about them "James says"

I don't wanna brag. It's pointless and leads to nothing but inflated egos and overconfidence "Logan says" I've excelled at higher test scores than anyone in our grade. Doesn't that count as a talent?

James just shrugs and watches him walk away frustrated*

During lunch*

One of the school bullies named Justin walks up to their table* I can't believe you the nerdling of this group of losers signed up for the talent show. What have you got to prove other than being a total dork?! *Laughs*

In order to insult me, I must first value your opinion. Nice try, though. You may think you're a big person, but strong people don't put others down, they lift them up "Logan says"

What's that suppose to mean?! "Justin says"

I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you "Logan says"

If you had two brains you would be twice as stupid "Justin says"

Do you always behave this dumb, or do you make a special effort when I am around? I'm sure you will get a reasonable price if you sell that brain of yours, it seems virtually unused and new "Logan says"

Somewhere out there is a tree tirelessly producing oxygen so you can breathe. I think you owe it an apology "Logan says"

Your village called. They said they lost their idiot. "Justin says"

If ignorance is a bliss, you must be the happiest person alive "Logan says"

Maybe you should shut up "Justin says"

Maybe you should lead by example "Logan says"

You want me to give you a beat down?! Cuz I can do it! I will!! "Justin says"

What a waste of energy that would be since you barely participate in the main physical challenges we are given in gym class "Logan says" Maybe you could get your own life and stop interfering in mine. I'm gonna need you to put those few remaining brains cells together and work with me here, okay? I'm not interested in what you have to say. Good-bye *Gets up and throws away his trash. The other three boys are speechless with what just happened*

During recess by the swings*

Logan that was awesome. You totally gave Justin the ultimate verbal beatdown. Your comebacks were on point. I'm so sorry about what I said earlier about not noticing your talents. You are very skillful with standing up to one of the scariest kids in school "James says"

Thanks James but I'm afraid it's not over between me and Justin. He'll get his revenge "Logan says and jumps startled when someone touches his shoulder" Please don't hurt me Justin!!

Relax it's just me "Kendall says"

Sorry Kenny. I'm just anxious. He could be anywhere "Logan says frantically looking around"

He's way over there on the basketball court Logie. You're safe "Carlos says"

The only place I'll feel really safe is the library. Being out here is a death sentence for me. I'll see you guys next period "Logan says and runs to the school library which have doors that lead out to the playground"

During math class Justin walks up to Logan's desk*

You're gonna pay for what you said to me in the cafeteria. You think you're so smart but I'm more superior than you. I outrank you in several categories. Be prepared dork!

Leave him alone! He's trying to learn like everyone else! Get away from him! "Kendall says"

Shut your stupid face blondie! I'm not talking to you!! "Justin says"

You are now and no one calls me blondie. Not even my own mother. Be gone with you. Now! "Kendall says"

The teacher Mr. Dawson walks in* Boys that's enough. Take your seats. Justin bother Logan again and you'll get after school detention

Justin rolls his eyes annoyed but listens*

Thanks Kenny "Logan says"

No problem buddy "Kendall says high fiving him then sits down"

After school in the carpool lane*

I'm so ready to get out of this cold wind "Logan says"

How can you possibly be cold? You've got on a sweater and two huge jackets on. You should be burning up in there "James says"

You're correct I should be very warm but I just can't seem to avoid these chilly winds going up my spine which is why I want my mom to hurry up and get here "Logan says"

5 minutes later his mom arrives and he gratefully gets in the car*

After doing his homework in his room he goes to Kendall's house. Katie happily greets him*

Hi Logan! "she says hugging"

Hi my sweet little angel cake "he says smiling and hugging her back"

I've called you here for an emergency team meeting "Kendall says" We need to go in my room. Carlos and James are waiting

Can I come too? "Katie says"

No girls aren't allowed "Kendall says"

Awww that's not fair! "Katie says angrily stomping her small feet"

Rules are rules "Kendall says defiantly crossing his arms" Come on Logan

We can't just leave her all alone down here. She'll be bored. She still needs help using the remote "Logan says"

Then she can play in here room. Come on already "Kendall says getting impatient"

Logan just sighs and goes upstairs holding Katie's hand and take her to her room then goes to Kendall's*

Ok now that we're all here I'll tell you the topic of discussion. The talent show. Was it a mistake for all of us to sign up? I have no idea what I'm gonna do

I know exactly what I'm gonna do "Logan says" I'm gonna do something so amazing it'll blow everyone's minds. I'm gonna talk about the solar system

The others just look at him confused*

How the heck is THAT a talent? "James says" We already learned about it

Not the way I'm gonna teach everybody on the day of the show. It's gonna be epic "Logan says"

Kendall: It will not be epic. You're gonna get pummeled if you that as your talent. No one is gonna take you seriously. All the school bullies are gonna call you a-

Nerd? I know that "Logan says"

But Logie you can't stand that word "Carlos says"

I know that "Logan says"

So why would you humiliate yourself in front of the whole school? "James says"

Humiliate myself? I'm merely making a difference by encouraging the kids at our school to respect and appreciate the scientific community. We're severely lacking even with all the power points and text books "Logan says"

You've got to pick something else "Kendall says"

You don't think I can do this? "Logan says" Cuz I CAN. You're my brothers. You're suppose to have my back on this and I'm not getting any kind of support. I'll show you all that my plan will work. I'm going home to work on it right now *Angrily walks out*
