MFT 2/ Final Class

Logan's Birthday

Two hours later

Now that all the class photos, individual photos and more were done, now came the photo of all the teachers. This was set up the same almost every year. We always stood in the same position and, if there were any changes, Mr. Stark had to determine them. The 5CK class photo is much more varied and exciting to look at than the teachers' photo. A little disappointing, yet I have to put up with it. "Are we all assembled?" asked Mr. Stark when most of the teachers had already posed in the backdrop. "Everyone except Henry, Paul, Abby, and Mason," Jacob replied. "Where are they?" asked Mr. Stark impatiently. "They have a foursome in the gym," Jacob whispered and I had to laugh. "You guys are all the same," Presley mentioned, standing in the front row and rolling her eyes. "Let's have some fun too," I replied, looking at her. "You have enough fun Logan," she replied, poking me lightly in the arm. "I think Henry is on his way over," I mentioned. "What makes you think that?" asked Jacob, confused. "I can hear it from the coughing," I explained and a moment later he arrived with Abby, Paul and Mason in tow. "Line up fellows!" ordered Mr. Stark as the three joined us as well. "Did we miss anything important?" asked Abby, out of breath. "Not really," Evelyn replied and everyone got into position as they do every year. "Charmed like every year," now said Alvaro, who was standing behind the camera looking at the scenery. "Now everyone put on a smile and then we'll have the teacher photo done for this year as well!", Alvaro ordered us and each of us put on our smiles.

"Wonderful," Alvaro rejoiced as he snapped the photo. "You'll get the photos over the course of the next two weeks then," Alvaro explained as he began to dismantle his set of backdrops. "Alright. Thank you then and have a nice day," Mr. Stark wished Alvaro, who then disappeared back into the director's office.

Time jump Friday

"So what are your plans for the weekend?", Tessa asked me with interest. "I'm going to celebrate my birthday," I replied, looking at her. "Whose birthday is it from your family?" she asked excitedly. "I'm celebrating my 27th birthday," I answered happily. "Oh, happy birthday Logan then," she said and hugged me in response. "Thank you." "Is there a big party going on?" she asked. "I don't have anything exciting planned. So more like no," I replied, scratching my head. "I'm sure your sister will come up with something," Tessa mentioned. Could be.

Time jump Saturday

My day started off relatively well. I slept until 10am, took Shadow for a walk, and now found myself back in my apartment. Just now I created some homework in a word document and meanwhile I got messages from my work colleagues, relatives and friends. Shortly after, my doorbell rang and I opened it and waited to see who was coming to my apartment. "Happy Birthday Logan!" shouted Presley and James at the same time as they entered my apartment. "Hey," I greeted the two of them who hugged me afterwards. "We brought you something too," Presley mentioned and pressed a gift into my hand. I then unwrapped it and realized it was a new pair of sneakers. "I thought you could use some new ones since your old ones are looking pretty beat up," she mentioned and looked at me with a smile. "Thanks Pres," I thanked her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Here Logan," James said handing me a rectangular wrapped present. "I wonder what this could be," I pondered, unwrapping it slowly. "I thought this game would be the best thing to use when you're upset about a student again," James explained and at that I had to grin. "Good idea," I agreed and hugged him. "And we brought a cake, of course," Presley mentioned, immediately placing the cake on the table. "Thank you both," I thanked her and got three plates from the kitchen with cake forks. "Is Kendall actually still coming over?" asked James with interest. "I don't know. I haven't talked to him about it," I replied, joining the two of them.

Kendall's POV:

I was just lying on a lounger in the backyard with an old game that I used to totally love and now felt like playing again. A sunny Saturday afternoon is really great, with the perfect game and the perfect drink, I thought to myself and took a sip from my Coke. Still, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had forgotten something. Mum was with Katie at Grandma's and I had no homework as well as studying for exams. Maybe I didn't forget anything after all, I thought and continued to play my game. When after a short time the battery of the console became empty, I went back into the house, plugged in the charging cable and had to wait now again half an eternity to be able to play again. Before I passed the time with boring TV shows, I decided to take my laptop to watch videos on YouTube. I sat down on the couch, took my laptop and put it on my lap. Shortly after, the password screen came on.

Um Logan?

Yes?

I need your password.

My birthday.

Yeah, fine. When?

September 14th.

"Logan's birthday!", I shouted as I realized what I had forgotten. I had forgotten my friend's birthday and now I felt bad. What was I supposed to get him? Should I just call or come to his house? Will other family members be with him today or just his sister where I have nothing to worry about? Before I thought any further, I decided to take the bus into town and get him a gift. I didn't have much money, yet it will be enough for a gift. Without further ado, I left the house and went to the nearest bus stop. After taking the bus and finding a gift in a store, I was now standing in the parking lot of the apartment building. Briefly I took a breath and hoped to find only Logan, but no one could assure me of this beforehand. Before I thought any further, I decided to go to the big door, open it with my spare key, ring Logan's doorbell anyway, and then immediately stand by his door to surprise him. My plan worked and as I ran up the stairs to him, I kissed him passionately and threw myself at him. I pushed him to the floor, kissed him wildly and concentrated only on him. When he took a breath, he said something that shocked me. "Kendall. Kendall, we're not alone," he mentioned and I stopped kissing him on the spot and just stared at him. After that, I took a quick look around and spotted James and Presley on two chairs, both of whom were now staring at us with their mouths open.

"Hi," I said ashamedly, looking at them both. "Hey," James and Presley greeted me a little confused. "Sorry Logan," I apologized and helped him stand up. "Hey," Logan now greeted me as well, looking down at the floor in embarrassment. "Why don't you join us? Do you want a piece of cake too?" asked James as he recovered from the shock of just a moment ago. "Sure. Why not, actually," I agreed and sat down with him. "I have something else for you Logan," I mentioned and handed him my gift, which I had left wrapped at the store. He accepted it, opened it, and immediately had a grin on his face. "I smell a rematch," Logan mentioned, grinning at me. "You bet Logan," I replied and he set the Mario Kart 8 game aside. "So what did you get from those two?", I asked excitedly, pointing to James and Presley. "New sneakers from Pres and Super Smash Bros from James," Logan replied.

"I guess I'll say goodbye to you then bro," Pres mentioned, saying goodbye to Logan and then leaving the apartment. "What else are we hiring?" asked James, looking at both of us anxiously. "Oh, you guys do. I see. I better get going then, too, before I see something I don't want to see," James explained, unceremoniously saying goodbye to us. "What did James mean?", I asked Logan, confused. "He didn't want to see me beat you up.... in Smash Bros," Logan replied and we both had to laugh. Shortly after, we sat down on Logan's couch, he turned on the game, and we both jumped on the tracks with the race cars.
