Logan made himself comfortable on the couch in the room, placing the box of hot pizza on a couch side table. The bag with the games and other snacks he had brought slid off his wrist and fell at his side on the couch. Aimee who had been sitting on the floor with her sister Annie quickly got back on her feet and sat next to him on the couch. She grabbed the grocery bag and moved it out of the way, cutting the distance between them by scooting closer. 

The new teacher coughed awkwardly and tried to scoot further from her, but he was soon trapped between Aimee and the arm rest of the sofa. Louise watched in amusement, linking arms with both Andy and Ollie, and resting her head on Ollie's shoulder. The twin just stayed completely still and quiet for the sake of playing along. Despite the attention he and his brother had gotten from the girls of St. Mary's Academy upon their arrival, neither of them had ever had a girlfriend. Everyone back home thought they were too strange. It was for that reason that they didn't know exactly how to react around a girl.

When Aimee linked arms with Logan and tried to place her head on his shoulder, he shot up from his seat and grabbed the pizza box, rushing to the bed where Louise was sat with the twins. Opening it up, he offered, "Do you kids want any pizza?"

Louise eyed him suspiciously. "Are you trying to poison me?"

"Why would I do that?" Logan asked, outraged. "Are you out of your mind?"

"I'll have some pizza." Andy said with a smile, reaching into the open box for a slice. It was plain pepperoni. 

Reaching for his wrist, Louise directed his hand which held the slice of pizza to her lips. "If you want pizza, then I want some pizza too." She said to Andy, and took a bite of the slice. Her eyes darted now and again to Logan who was standing directly in front of them, a smirk lined on her lips. "But I want you to feed me the pizza." She corrected herself in a soft pur.

Logan quickly grabbed a slice of pizza, reached for her hand that was holding Andy's, and placed the warm pizza slice in her hand. "Feed yourself, Louise. You're not a baby."

"She's our baby." Andy pointed out, while Ollie could only nod in a blank expression of agreement. He was better at pretending than his brother who just sat there frozen, not knowing what to do. Andy knew enough to be able to follow along with Louise's lie.

From the couch in the far right of the room, Aimee sulked with her arms crossed over her chest. The game on tv had just ended, and Annie got back on her feet and walked over to her sister. Sitting down next to her, she said with a bright smile. "Don't be upset, Aimee. There's so much to be happy for. Louise didn't get kicked out of school, she has some cute friends over, Paul won his game tonight, and Professor Bush is only trying to keep an eye on us."

"He's trying to keep an eye on Louise." Aimee sulked. "He hasn't paid any attention to me."

"He takes his job very seriously." Annie reasoned with her sister. To her, it was still clear that the new teacher had a crush on her sister, even if that wasn't exactly true. "He'll come and talk to you once he's made sure everything is in order here."

"Alright." Logan huffed, annoyed at Louise. "Everyone down on the carpet, we're going to play some card games, and we're gonna have fun. Louise," He looked to her with a glare. "If you can't keep your hands to yourself around your boyfriends, you'll have to sit next to me all weekend." Louise rolled her eyes at him. He was definitely taking his chaperoning job much too seriously. But pretending she was dating the twins seemed to be annoying him beyond anything, and she would continue doing it as long as she could.

Annie and Aimee happily did as he asked, while Louise did it obnoxiously, with the boys in tow. She sat on the carpet, in between them with her legs crossed. Logan sat down in between Annie and Andy, which the twin didn't seem to like very much. She wanted to sit next to Andy. Instead, she let her sister Aimee take her place in the circle and she ended up sitting next to Ollie.

Logan reached for the grocery bag that was nearby and spilled the contents onto the floor, in the middle of their little circle. "Unfortunately, my card games aren't exactly kid friendly. There's Cards Against Humanity and Game of Phones. We'll take a vote and see which one you guys want to play."

"Cards Against Humanity!" Louise grinned, reaching for the box of cards, but Logan slapped her hand away.

Aimee refused to play that game with a shake of her head. "Please. Not that game. Louise always wins."

Logan wasn't surprised. The slogan on the box was: A party game for horrible people. Louise was as horrible as they could get. It only made sense to him that she would be really good at that game. 

"Game of Phones then." Logan concluded.

But Louise shook her head, offering an objection. "We can't play that. Andy and Ollie only have one phone. They share everything."

Logan gave a shrug of his shoulders. "They'll just take turns each round."

"Fine." Louise rolled her eyes.

The chemistry teacher who was chaperoning the teens for the weekend grabbed the box of cards in the center. He opened it and placed the stack of cards in the middle. Then he explained the rules to them. "One person will grab a card and read the challenge on it. Then each person has to do what the card says, using their phones. The person with the card will determine who did it best. The person who was given the most cards in the end wins."

"This is just like Cards Against Humanity." Louise said with a grin. She was very competitive, and hated losing. She was determined to win that game.

Logan let Annie be the card master for the first round. She reached for the stack of cards in the middle and read off what the challenge said. "Text your mom. Whoever gets a reply first wins."

Everyone in the room except Annie started typing away on their cellphones. Logan was a bit more hesitant out of fear that his mother would scold him and try to convince him to come home, but he finally got the message out and hit send. Moments later phones started going off with incoming text messages. The first one to come in was for Louise who shoved her phone screen into Annie's face to confirm.

"Louise wins." Annie smiled, handing the game card to her friend.

"She even sent a video." Louise informed them, placing her phone in the middle for everyone to see as she hit the play button.

"Hi Louise!" Linda's familiar voice boomed from Louise's phone. She was at the restaurant counter with Bob and Teddy sitting at his stool, eating a burger like always. And like always, the restaurant seemed to be almost empty. "We miss you! We can't wait to have you back home with us, my little angel."

"Angel of death." Logan muttered.

"Jealous 'cause my mom loves me, Logan?" Louise teased.

"My mom loves me." Logan argued, puffing up his cheeks like a child about to throw a tantrum. Holding the phone to her face, the twenty five year old showed her the texts from his mom. She had replied just seconds after Linda Belcher, but instead of sending him a video, his mother sent him several texts begging him to return home and seek a career in the medical field like his father. She didn't want him to be a teacher because it was a profession that held less merit when she was bragging about her son to her other rich friends. Most of their children were doing business management, law, or medicine while Logan Bush decided to become a teacher. A teacher at a prestigious school, but a teacher nonetheless.

His mother Cynthia Bush found more praise from her friends when she bragged about her son's rich and beautiful former Miss Universe girlfriend Maria Valentina. It was the one thing about her son's life that she didn't complain about. He was dating a beauty queen, and it was nearly all that she could ask for.

"Alright, I'll go next." Aimee said, trying to interrupt their little argument. She grabbed a card off the pile and read it aloud. "What's the last picture saved on your camera roll?"

Louise quickly sifted through her phone and opened up the gallery option. There, she clicked on the last picture she had taken when the twins arrived earlier that day. It was on the way to the guest building and Ollie had offered to give her a piggy back ride. Louise gladly accepted and he tripped on a rock, sending them both tumbling to the ground. Andy thought it was hilarious and snapped a photo of the two on the ground, Ollie underneath Louise. Her bunny ears were nearby, having flown off her head in the fall they took. Andy had been the one to take the picture, but he sent it to Louise so that she could have a laugh after seeing it.

Aimee giggled in amusement as she recalled the fall from earlier. The next person to show their phone was Andy. He had a picture of him and Ollie with Louise inside the room, watching the football game with Annie and Aimee. Annie handed the phone to her sister next. There was a picture of the twins with Louise in their Xolos jerseys. They had sent that picture to their older brother Paul to show him their support.

Last was Logan, who handed his phone to Aimee. On the screen was a picture of him with his girlfriend Maria at his house that he was living in now. When Aimee saw the picture, she quickly pushed it away, blurting out her decision for the winner.

"Louise had the best picture." She stated, her mood suddenly gone sour.

"What was yours, Logan?" Louise wondered, snatching the phone away from him. When her green eyes took a look at the picture on the screen, she teased him once again. "My relationship wins over yours. " Louise said, blowing him a raspberry.

"But I'm dating a beauty queen. Actress and model too." He snapped back his response.

Louise threw her head back in laughter. "Bruh, she may have been Miss Universe and all, but I heard she can't act for shit!"

"Whatever, four ears." Logan rolled his eyes in annoyance, the nickname he had given her when they were younger slipped out. It was the first time he had called her that in front of someone. Snatching the two cards she had won during the game, he said, "This game is over, lets play something else." He looked to the other box of cards in the middle of the circle, but decided against using them. If Louise was really good at playing that game, he knew she was going to be even more insufferable if they decided to play it. Instead, he left it up to the teens in the room, but he wouldn't take any of Louise's suggestions into consideration. "Does anyone have any ideas?--not Louise."

"Ooh!" Aimee Arriola-Hendricks shot her hand up like they were back in his classroom of the main school building.

"Yes Miss Arriola-Hendricks." Logan said with a tired sigh. 

He had also noticed the way Aimee was always coming onto him, he had only been pretending he didn't notice and had opted for ignoring the problem. But it was beginning to get out of hand and he knew he would need to have a word with her to get her to stop.

"Seven minutes in heaven." She suggested with a grin, wiggling her eyebrows.

Everyone else in the room seemed to have nodded in agreement. Louise wouldn't be making out with the twins in a closet, but it was her perfect chance to annoy Logan as their chaperon. She would only make him think they had made out. It was the perfect plan. She would need to thank Aimee for it later.

But their chaperon would have none of it. He gave a shake of his head, refusing firmly. "No. Absolutely not. I'm here to watch you guys, not sit back while you have an orgy or something."

"Oh, come on Professor! That's gross." Aimee crinkled up her nose in disgust. "We're not all going in there at once. We're going in pairs, there are just enough males and females. You can go first if you want." She offered innocently, hoping it would do enough to sway his opinion on the matter.

"I'm twenty five years old, I am not agreeing to this." Logan refused again, crossing his arms over his chest in defiance.

"Geez Logan," Louise scoffed. "When did you become such a drag?"

"I didn't become a drag!" He said, taken a back by her accusation. "But this is totally childish."

"Drag." Louise coughed fakely.

"Louise-" He glared at her, but was interrupted before he could say more.

"Fun kill." She coughed again.

"Okay fine!" He shouted at her. Only she had the ability to convince him of doing something like that when he was supposed to be the responsible adult in the room, and there he was, agreeing to participate in their little game. Pointing his index finger at her menacingly, he warned, "But if I hear anything getting out of hand in there, I'm opening the door and getting both of you out of there."

Annie unlocked her phone and clicked on an app that was already installed there. It was a spin the bottle app that would choose two random people to go first. Annie placed her phone in the middle of their circle and hit the start button. 

The first person to get picked was Logan.

Aimee smiled wide at that. She wanted to be the second person picked. This time Aimee was the one to hit the start button to get the virtual bottle spinning. 

It took a bit longer than the first time to stop spinning, but when it did, a couple of jaws dropped in surprise.

The bottle had picked Louise Belcher.
