School. Yaaaay.
Obviously sarcastic though. What is it that I could look forward to at school when I already know everything they can teach? Delmar decided that putting me with others my age would work the best, and so I'm kinda sorta stuck in the tail end of 5th grade as a "transfer student".
I wonder how well my illusion will hold up when I'm bored out of my mind?
...
Ooh, I could maybe drop it for a second and put it back up to make the kids think that they're seeing things!
Gadget, are you sure that's a good idea?
Yuppers!
'Cause what if you don't get your illusion back up in time?
...Then everyone would know...
Yup.
Yeah... Didn't really think that one through.
Neuropathic link established.
Backpack, check.
Textbooks, check.
Tablet, check, 'cause I'm obviously using it if I'm logging this.
Squirt gun to get the little buggers off of me during recess, check.
Pocket terminal, check.
Broadband internet, check.
Augmented reality headset, check.
"GADGET, WHY IS THERE A TASER ON THE TABLE?!" Delmar yelled from the main room.
Oops. Forgot to pack that.
"Gadget," Delmar said in a creepily calm voice when he entered the room, "In what circumstance would you use a taser at an elementary school?!"
I shrugged. "Self-defense?" I replied. I warily eyed the taser, of which I designed myself from scrap parts in the lab.
Delmar sighed. "You know, Gadget," he began, "the real world isn't that dangerous, you know that, right? And besides, you've been practicing that "magic" of yours lately. I'm sure that you'll be safe without a taser."
I nodded, and floated the taser back to my tiny room.
First day of school's tomorrow. I'm packed and ready to face whatever boredom that confronts me, whether it's in the form of overly irritating classmates, or the "typical" boring teacher.
Besides, it can't be that bad, right?
Right?
Plot twist
the teacher is the human version of Cherilee
7897262 Pony Cheerilee>EQ Cheerilee>Human Cheerilee.
It's gonna get "cray-cray" next chapter, I can tell.
7897276 May or may not use this in the next chapter.
Gadget: I can't believe that I'm stuck in 5th grade...
5th grader: Why are you saying that? It's fun!
Gadget: Running a small datacenter out of your closet is fun. This is literal child's play.
5th grader:...
Teacher: *Calls main office* Yeah, I'd like to have a psychologist come by in half an hour. No, it's not Billy again... Yes, yes, bring all of them if you'd like. The new girl's acting strangely.

Lemme guess: she's going to start DDOSing the school CPU network for fun, yes?
7897284 Perhaps.
I, personally, was allowed to sit under the school computer desk for the majority of the day on my laptop simply because I finished all my classwork early.
It was annoying though how I was at a middle school reading level and they still only let me get short chapter books from the school library.
7897286 And the entire cycle of Smurf Horse starts anew...
7897281
Like that, or similar.
7897292 Or just replace all the desktop backgrounds with creepypasta material.
... this is not what I expected when I started following this story. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you. I eagerly await the (hopefully longer) next chapter!
I would recomend adding the slice of life tag.
7897297 got it.
Cracks me up!
7897292
7897294 Why turn them off, why not have some school wide fun?
7898124 Yup.
You sure this isnt your life story, Techie?
