This will end well

WHO: Calvin and Franklin
WHERE: Xavier's Institute
WHEN: Monday morning
WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: Franklin is new at school and someone decided he could use a more experienced student as a 'role model' for guidance, which is a good idea. Then they made that role model, Calvin, which is a horrible idea.
FORMAT: Paragraph

"This is a travesty! I'm a big important person with big important plans that can't be delayed by lesser minds. Whose dumb idea was this, anyway? What a complete waste of time!"

Calvin was complaining loudly and to no one in particular as he stood with his jacket and backpack at Xavier's front entrance. It felt better than meekly accepting his terrible unjust fate, and he also had the idea that if he made himself unpleasant enough whatever dolt decided to assign this lousy job to him would come to their senses and let him off the hook. The fact that he'd had to show up to school early to make sure he had enough time to meet this kid was just the final, unacceptable injury.

"I'll bet this new kid is a complete bore, too," he grumbled. "I can see him now. He's probably going to be an absolute dullard. There's no other reason they would stick me with a new kid unless for the sheer sadism of watching a dimwit erode my spirit. Yeah, that must be it."

The kid continued in this vein as he waited. It was part of his other plan- even if the teachers didn't come to their senses, maybe if he acted grouchy enough the new kid would recognize his peril and just walk away.

Franklin, who had clearly not inherited either his dad's super intelligence or his mom's more general intelligence, was holding his hand out, palm down, just above his knee.

Calvin, that's how short you are.

"Oh, Galactus," Franklin sighed, staring up at the sky, both hands gripping his backpack straps now. "My tutor is half my age and size." He frowned back at the kid. "I'm not dumb. My dad's the smartest guy on Earth, y'know."
