"Okay, first of all, could everyone take out their art supplies and your projects that you have been working on." Piotr Nikoleivitch Rasputin opened up his class. He is 22 years old, and just started teaching the art class at Xavier's Institute with Mora Kwan, who is 20.

Many of the kids started taken out their art projects and their supplies, as Mora took role. While taking role Piotr walked around the decorative classroom. "That looks really good Carter. Maybe you can give that to your mom when you finish." Carter Ghazikhanian, a young telepath and telekinetic, smiled as he continued molding a slightly disoriented unicorn. Another boy, Samuel Pare, was painting a picture of the ocean with surfers and dolphins. Mora had just walked up to Piotr when he stopped at two empty desks.

"Amara and Danielle are absent, Piotr." Mora looked at the same two desks he was looking at.

"Sorry Mr. Rasputin. Alarm clock didn't go off." Piotr stared as Danielle and Amara brushed into the room.

"The bell was loud enough."

"Oh, well, I'm a deep sleeper," Danielle looked around at the other students and saw how they were working on their projects, so she took out her own.

"If you're such a deep sleeper, how could you're alarm clock wake you?"

"That's fine Ms. Kwan. They're here now, we'll just have to discuss a little detention later." Amara and Danielle both winced. They didn't want to think what their punishment would be, but the look on the way Mora got when Piotr looked at her, they knew it wouldn't have been too bad.

After art class, Piotr had some prep time before his next class, when who should turn up but little ol' Kitty Pryde, his girlfriend. "Katya!" Piotr, stunned, as Kitty laid a kiss on his lips. "It's only been a couple of hours."

"I know, I just like couldn't help it." Kitty looked over her shoulder at Mora, whom she swore was glaring at her a moment ago. "Hey Mora." Mora replied with a simple smile. Kitty shrugged off her awkwardness and looked back at her boyfriend. "So my birthday is coming up. Any ideas of what you might get me?" She traced her finger on his chest, and smiled sweetly at him.

"If I tell you, it wouldn't be a surprise. But trust me, you'll like it," he looked over toward Mora. "Mora, would you like to go to the mall with me?" When Piotr was talking to her, she was a little preoccupied that she hadn't noticed, until a second later. "Mora?" Her head jerked over to him.

'Me. He wants me to go, with him. The first time of being alone without that stupid Kitty or our students.' She thought happily. "Sure," Mora's smile widened.

"Fine, keep my present a secret. I can wait," Kitty gave him a peck on his cheek. "I'll see you around later then Piotr. Bye Mora." Then Kitty left the room.
