Thursday morning in the classroom*
"Time for a pop quiz." Miss Collins says passing out the papers. "Keep your eyes to yourselves" She sternly warns.
It takes an hour for everyone to finish*
"Good job class most of you passed," She says "MOST of you. Jett see me after class please"
After school, while the rest of the class is decorating the outside of the classroom Jett is inside waiting to talk to Miss Collins*
"I've got some clothes shopping to do. Can we make this quick?" He says impatiently.
"Your grades are way more important than a shopping spree. You failed the pop quiz today. Your grades have been plummeting fast. They have been for 2 months and I've told you numerous times about this. You need to start doing better." Miss Collins says.
"Miss Collins I'm an actor. I don't need to get good grades to be perfect." Jett says.
"This isn't about being perfect. It's about having a good education." She says "You're gonna need a tutor if you want to pass the math test before the Halloween party at the end of the month"
"A tutor? You mean some snobby spoiled rich kid from Harvard?" Jett says.
"Or somebody more local will do just fine," Miss Collins says.
"I'll be informing your New Town High director about this and your agent and your publicist. This is some serious stuff you have to consider. You don't want to look back maybe 30 years from now at how fulfilling your life could've been if you put in the effort to get good grades. "She continues"
"Anything else?" Jett says
"Yeah work on that attitude. You're still the child in this situation. You can go." Miss Collins says
Jett leaves and comes up with an idea to improve his grades and goes to Apartment 2J and knocks on the door. Logan opens it laughing at a joke Carlos just told then frowns when he sees the unkind teen*
"Jett, what are you doing here?" He says confused.
"Miss Collins told me I need a tutor and I thought of the nerdiest kid in our school which is you," Jett says
Logan stares at him unamused and closes the door without saying a word*
"Just give me a chance. Hear me out please." The tall blonde continues and walks in uninvited.
"Sure come in. You're always welcome to just walk in without approval" Logan says sarcastically.
"You think I'm gonna help you after how you just described me? I'm not a nerd. I like school. I like math. I like science. I like learning. You take all that and think I'm a nerd. People who are called nerds aren't just intelligent. They're skilled in all kinds of things that anyone can do. So I'm not helping you with anything. I've got to go soon" He continues as he puts some items in a small box.
"What are you doing?" Jett asks
"I'm collecting some of Katie's art supplies for her. She forgot it here and asked me to bring it to her. Anyway, it's none of your business. You two don't even like each other" He says as he exits the apartment. Get out. I'm not leaving you here alone. Carlos was only here so I wouldn't be lonely. Come on amigo.
"Fine but just think about this. You're doing a good deed by helping me. I'm famous and popular" Jett says walking out.
"No means no. Leave him alone." Carlos says.
He and Logan go to the community center*
"You ok dude? Did something happen?" Kendall says concerned.
"Jett came by our apartment asking me to tutor him. He told me he thought of the nerdiest kid in school and came straight to me. So I told him no. Here's your art box Katie" Logan says giving it to her.
"Thanks," She says "I'm sorry you had to go all the way back home to get it"
"Katie-Bear that didn't bother me at all. I was happy to do it for you. How about you get started on your mini poster and I'll come help you when I'm done talking to the guys" Logan says.
"You ok?" Katie says.
"Yes. I just have to deal with an annoying problem" Logan says.
"Ok," Katie says and sits at a table.
"So that pompous jerk face is bothering you again. I can fix that" James says.
"Do not hurt him you're not Rocky Babola" Logan says.
"How else is he gonna learn his lesson?" James says.
"Not with physical violence. I don't want him to fall behind in school. As much as I don't like him he shouldn't suffer academically if I can aid him with his grades", Logan says.
"You're considering helping him?" No, you can't do that! He's a terrible person!" Kendall says.
"Kenny, calm down I have a plan. I know you all want to protect me and, I appreciate that, but this is my problem," Logan said.
"You're our brother. We do this together.," Kendall says patting his shoulder. "No matter how hard the challenge is"
"Never change dude." Logan smiles at his brotherly love.
I'm gonna go help Katie now. She's been very patient *walks over to her*
When they're finished for the day all of them go home, eat dinner, and go to sleep*
Later that night there's a very loud thunderstorm outside which keeps Katie wide awake. She's too scared to leave her room even though she usually goes to Kendall to comfort her. She's frozen in her spot on her bed and tries her best to think happy thoughts*
When that doesn't work she gains the energy to run to Kendall and Logan's room and practically flies onto his bed frightening him*
"Ahhhh what's happening?! Who's got me?! "He says sitting up and looking around"
"Sorry". Katie says
"You ok?" He says turning on the lamp which wakes up Logan
"Were you screaming in your dream or reality?" The short brunette asks sleepily
"Katie accidentally scared me awake" His room-mate answers
"The storm outside is stressing me out. Sorry I'll go," Katie says
"You don't have to go. You know we don't mind helping you. I remember back in Minnesota when you were about four you just couldn't stop crying about a storm that was happening. So we told you a funny story and you went to sleep with a huge smile on your face" Kendall says
"I remember that. You told her about how a sky angel will fill her head with the sweetest thoughts" Logan says
"I believed all that?" Katie says not remembering the moment
"Yeah you did", Kendall says
"What's going to help me now that I'm older?" Katie asks
"Singing to you never failed" Logan replies failing to stay awake
They sing a lullaby she loved as a baby and it helps her fall asleep immediately*
