She was tough. She had to be. It wasn't her choice; it was the way
they had made her. They had tortured her to the breaking pint. But she
still refused to break. You could say that's how she ended up at Xavier's
Institute for Gifted Youngsters. This is Mikaia Collin's story. Her tale of
love, life, death, and new beginnings.
"Mikaia, hurry up!!" Rogue shouted at the newest addition to the Institute.
The raven-haired girl jumped out of bed and grabbed her clothes as she ran to the bathroom. Minutes later the girl stood before Rogue dressed in a pair of dark blue-jean, a black shirt that proudly said "I'm Just One Big F#$%*ing Ray of Sunshine, Aren't I?", and a pair of red/black stripped arm-warmers.
"Yah ready?" Rogue asked the girl.
Mikaia didn't speak; she never did, just nodded and walked with Rogue to their class.
"She said anything?' Bobby Drake asked his girlfriend when they sat down in their first class.
"Nothin'," Rogue sighed, "though Ah wish she would."
"Class," Ms. Munroe spoke loudly and the class quieted. "Please welcome back Mr. Allderyce."
"Why's he back?" Bobby asked angrily when St. John Allderyce walked through the classroom door.
"Bobby," Professor Xavier said as he came in behind John. The blonde haired boy held his tongue. "John is back because he wanted to come back. He has also given us useful information."
"Professor, he's a traitor!" Bobby said.
"Mr. Drake, please contain your-self," Xavier said. "And I believe he is entitled to a second chance. I ask you to give him the benefit of the doubt."
John walked in and sat at the only spare desk, next to Mikaia.
"Hey," he said.
And for the first time anyone at the mansion could remember since the girl had come to the Institute the girl smiled at the boy. And then and there everyone knew that John deserved a second chance, Mikaia had silently told them that.
