The Logical Struggle

CH 2-a day at school

"Good morning class" their teacher Ms Davision  said signifying that class ws starting.

"Good morining Miss Davison" the room full of second graders chanted back. 

"Your writing assignment for this morning is to write about your family. I want you to tell me as much as you can about them. Don't forget to use periods at the end of your sentences." the exited teacher chirpped. "You have 30 minutes. If you need my help please raise your hand." 

Logan decided it would make for a much more enjoyable assignment if he wrote about his dads not his uncle even though he lives with his uncle now. He began his sentances with saying his dads names and ages that they would be now. He then went into all the fun things they did together. All these happy memories and cherished traditions they did together caused Logan to think about and miss them more. He started crying causeing Miss Davison to rush over to him. 

"What's wrong Lola" she asked concerend for her student because some of the kids in her class cry over small things that don't matter, but she new Logan was not one of those kids, in fact, she had never seen Logan cry at all, which was a very very rare thing to find in a 8 year old girl. 

"I can't tell you here" Logan wispered embarresed to be this upset in front of his class mates. He was also mad at him self because for as long as he has lived with his uncle he has been told that crying is bad and it is for babies. 

"Do you want to go out in the hall and talk?" she asked as one of her favorite students broke down in front of her. 

Logan nodded and followed Miss Davision out of the class room. "Lo, do you want to tell me what is going on?" She promted. He nodded again trying to re-gain controll over his breath. 

"I miss my Dads." He sniffed. 

"Well honey the school day isn't very long you will be able to go home to your parents before you even know it." She told the upset child standing in front of her, unaware of the tragic events that happened in his life the year before. 

"N-n-o-oo I c-ca-n't." Logan wailed. "My dads aren't here anymore" he mumbled. 

"What do you mean sweetheart?"

"Th-e fi-ire and the hosp-i-ita-l and grandm-a wa-as cry-ing" he sobbed 

What the student is in front of her meant finaly clicked in her head. She knelt down and hugged the little boy. "I know how you feel Lola. I lost my daddy too. and it was and still is really hard for me to deal with. I miss him every day, but do you know what what helped me through all of this?"

Logan sniffed "W-what?"

"I know that I will see him again and I know that as long as I keep his memory alive he will never be truly gone."

"Ok" Logan said much calmer now. 

"Are you ok to go back into the room now?" 

"I guess." 

She lead the boy back into the classroom trying not to draw attention to him. Logan followed her also trying to avoid attention. 

He wrote about his favorite things to do with his dads

Finally it was recess time.  Logan grabbed his book and went outside. 

"Hey Lola do you want to play tag?" Janus asked

"De we need more than people to play tag" Logan answered tuning back to his magic tree house book

"Ok hang on I'll go find more people." Deceit said insistent that his favorite game will be played during that recess. A few minutes later De came back with a small group of people including his brother Remus. Logan didn't quite know how he felt about him yet as he was a very odd kid and he wasn't very nice but Declan really seemed to get along with him. "Now will you play with us Lo?" 

"I don't see why not. As long as your it" Lo replied happily. 

"Alright. but noooooow he's it" Deceit was quick to tag Remus and run. The recess continued like this with the group just running around and laughing until the game switched to cops and robbers because they oldest among them was 6 so they all had short attention spans. Remus had Janus in "jail" and was guarding him with his life while Logan tried to get Deciet out. Lo was running around and trying to avoid Remus when suddenly he felt a pain in his arm he didn't react much as he was used to pain. Remus bit his arm again so he swatted at his face trying to get him to move. Remus pulled away eventually. Logan ran and grabbed De out of jail and they both started running until De screamed.

"LOLA YOU'RE BLEEDING!!" De screaked because he was a little scared of blood and an overdramatic 5 y/o. 

At this the others rushed over and Logan just looked at his arm. "Yeah, I guess I am. Oh well"

"You need to go to the nurse" Deceit concluded and he grabbed Logan's other arm pulling him back inside. 

"I'm really fine Janus."

"No your not. Lets go." he said as they started walking again. 

"Ok." Logan said giving in to Janus. A few minuets later our favorite smart boi sat on the table in the nurses office while she cleaned the deep bite mark on his arm. While the she was putting a band-aid on his arm the bell rang signifying the end of recess. 

"Here let me write you two a pass." The nurse told the kids in front of her because she knew that they would be late for their next class and she didn't want Miss Davison to worry about the disappearance of the boys. 

All to soon though the school day was over and Logan had to go back "home" to see his uncle.
