I hope everyone enjoys this story. I've already written about ten chapters if this goes over well, so I'll space them out some. I'm sorry if the paragraphs are a little messed up. My computer was being obstinate. I don NOT own any of the characters or original ideas of the show.
Alexis Byrch filed into the auditorium with her classmates, awaiting a speaker from Bayville. She was of average height with dark blue eyes, and light brown curly hair that formed ringlets down her back. To the average eye she was nothing special, just a fifteen year old girl with a permit who hated her geometry teacher. What Alexis didn't know was that someone with a not so average eye was watching her.
She was told the guest was going to speak on an upcoming controversial issue. Alexis couldn't remember the man's name, only that it was strange and no one had heard of him. The hall began to quiet as the teachers gave students that look that meant that they were to pay attention. First, everyone stood for the pledge of allegiance. Then, minor announcements were made, such as there was going to be a movie club meeting, and a student affairs meeting. Then the principle stood up to announce that one of the school's various sports teams had a game or had won a game. Alexis wasn't really sure; she wasn't paying attention.
After these announcements came, the guest speaker was introduced. His name was Charles Xavier. The moment he was within view many students began to whisper, pointing out his wheel chair, his baldness, and that he appeared boring to them. Alexis noticed all of these characteristics except the last. Upon seeing the professor Alexis noticed the deep concentration his face held, and the fact that as much as she wanted to look away, something about him was holding her gaze. Many of the students took his opening cough and the way he steepled his hands as a cue that it was nap time. The professor didn't seem to care. As he continued to speak many students became interested by his tales of an X gene giving individuals enhanced abilities. Upon entering the exact science of this occurrence many returned to their hibernation for the rest of the assembly.
Alexis could barely believe what she was hearing. She wasn't sure who this man was, but she felt as if he were speaking directly to her. Professor Xavier came to the end of his speech warning the students that history was very likely to repeat itself, that the current community was showing signs of prejudice and hostility towards those possessing the x gene. When Alexis looked around she found that most of the teachers had not even bothered to lend the professor their attention. It appeared as if his speech was wasted. Principle Phillips returned to the stage thanking the guest and announcing that classes would be postponed for ten minutes if anyone wanted to ask the professor questions. Alexis began to follow her peers out of the theater until she met the eyes of the professor. They seemed to put her into a trance. Realizing that it would be foolish to waste this opportunity, she turned around, breaking through the crowd, and headed straight toward the man in the wheelchair.
This is a really short chapter, most of them are. I would love your opinion, as this is my first piece on fanfiction. If you loved it great; if not, please tell me, and tell me why. Thanks.
