Superstar Stories

Street Smarts Doesn't Equal Book Smarts

[A/N: Gregory is around ten or eleven for this one. Got the idea randomly, so there's no plot]

[Summary: Freddy and the glamrocks try teaching Gregory some basic math! ..it doesn't go too well.]

"Come on, Gregory. It's not that hard. I believe in you!" Glamrock Chica cooed, smiling at Gregory.

Montgomery Gator scoffed, lifting his sunglasses to his forehead. "Ah, c'mon. Kid's not gonna try if you give him lenience. I say we tie him to a train track until he solves it."

"Monty!" Chica and Freddy chorused at the same time.

Monty rolled his eyes with a flick of his tail. "What? Just an idea.."

Roxanne shrugged. "It's not half bad, kid's getting annoying."

Gregory sighed. "Look, none of you are helping. What even is this?"

Chica frowned in worry. "..Gregory, that's fourth grade math."

Silence.

...

"..whatever."

Glamrock Freddy stepped forward, placing a hand onto Gregory's shoulder. "Do not worry, Superstar. I will help you!" Freddy smiled, while Gregory just stared at the paper. The equation was easy enough, the Glamrocks had picked something a bit below Gregory's grade level hoping he would finish quickly. But apparently not, as it had already been over twenty minutes, and Gregory had made no progress.

"Superstar, just think through it. Fifteen divided by five. How many times does five go into fifteen?"

"Why would I know? It's not my business. Five shouldn't even be inside fifteen! Like, get a room!" Gregory scoffed, dropping the pencil down and leaning back in his chair. "I quit."

Roxy finally spoke up. "..so, we're trying Monty's idea?"

Gregory, Freddy, and Chica all shouted, "NO!"
