Dear Diary,

So, it's me again, and is life ever different now. I've only been at the institute for a few days and everything's been happening so fast, it's kind of hard to adjust, you know? Like, this morning there was a training simulation the professor wanted Wolverine to put on for the students, and I was like, totally freaked by it all. I mean, it's like we're training for war or something, totally creepy. I think I'll adjust in time though. And Kurt... or "Nightcrawler" as they sometimes call him... if this morning wasn't weird enough for me he kept trying to push himself on me. It was really freaking me out and making me totally uncomfortable. I mean, I know he can't help the way he looks and all, but he is just so alien to me. And he just kept trying, again and again. And I kept pushing him away, but the more I did, the harder he seemed to try.

Well, we then had to go on a mission to try and recruit another mutant. Man, did she turn out to be a whack job... Anyway, Kurt even tried to get my attention on the x-jet by goofing off and the fool got him self in trouble. He like, full out landed right on top of me! If I wasn't already freaked enough... I just wanted him to stay away, like, why couldn't he see that? So, when Wolverine sent us two to find that new mutant, Kurt went ahead to try and talk to her. Well, after Wolverine totally insulted me with a "half pint" statement, I decided to try and be a show off and tackled the strange mutant to the ground. That didn't really go well... And when Kurt grabbed a hold of her, she touched him and well... put him into some sort of coma. At that moment, I was so scared. All of my fear of him somehow just totally went out the window. I thought he was dead, I really did.

I stayed by his side and tried my hardest to get him up, but nothing would work. I just sat there and talked to him while waiting for the professor, just hoping that maybe if I talked to him enough, he might wake up. After all of the battling was over and all, both Kurt and Ororo, who was also injured by her, recovered and I don't think I have ever been so relieved in my life! As afraid as I was of Kurt, was as happy as I was to see that he was ok. I ran over to him an put my arms around him without hesitation. I guess I can't really explain what changed. I don't think he knew how to take it!

On the way back here in the x-jet I got a chance to talk to Kurt and tell him how sorry I was for being such a total jerk to him today. He told me it was fine, that he just wanted me to give him a chance. And you know? He's really a nice guy! He's like, pretty funny too. We talked the whole way back! I can't believe how afraid I was. I mean, it's still a little weird, but I think that given a little time, we may actually become pretty good friends! I really hope I didn't hurt his feelings too bad, but I do think he understands... everything's just so new to me. Oh, look at the time, it's almost midnight. Better go to bed. I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Till next time!

AN: So, this is my first "one shot", so hope you enjoyed it! Any reviews would be, like, totally awesome, you know? :P Thanks for reading! :)

**I have broken the story up into multiple paragraphs for ease of reading. I thought having it all in one paragraph gave it more of a "diary feel", but after reading it over again, it was a little difficult on the eyes. Hope this is better for everyone! :)
