The very first day of university, was also going to be the beginning of her new life. She, however, not knowingly was only stressed about how to make friends and sort the things out by herself in the first day of school. She was not a wet blanket on the inside, unlike how everyboys seems to find her when they are first acquainted with Jolene. Her red hair and light freckles combined with a fair skin were surely the main reason of their prejudice, as it was a neigbourhood where gingers were thought to have no soul.
She had been at so many places due to his father's job, whose line of business was completely impossible to understand for her daughter who was not blessed with scientific intelligence. She got her talent of singing and playing instruments from her lovely mother, who had been teaching her daughter all of the things she knows since she was old enough to understand the notes. She rather considered herself lucky to have such mother whom she learnt everything that she considered to comprise her whole life. Making music and performing songs that she can find herself within the melodies were beyond price for her, after all. That is why she was so determined to get into the Music Academy, it was a big chance for her to spend the rest of her life with music and music only; or that was what she wished for.
Jolene immediately lowered her head as she took her first step into the school. Her hair was tied in a bow, which had a matching color with her hair tone. He flipped her bangs with one hand and tilted her head to see which class she was supposed to get in as she saw three people approaching to her. They surely didn't belong there, as they were investigating the area with keen eyes and not having any instruments with themselves. Her eyes met the only girl in the group, who happened to be ginger too, like Jolene. She was shorter than Jolene and had a flaming gaze in her eyes. She was held by a guy who surely looked physically so much stronger than the other guy in the group. As they came close to her, she immediately realized how handsome he was with his strong chin and tall forehead. He, however, had a cold look on him, unlike the other one who was scratching his beard while looking around with his curiousity leaking, blue eyes.
"Hello, Miss Maurell. We are coming from Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters, and we'd like to share some inf-"
"I am not interested." She snapped all of a sudden, panicking about her image by being seen with these weirdos. She also thought this school was all she could dream of, therefore she didn't have to reconsider her priorities to make a good call, again. The guy who was first to talk was surprised by her behaviour, whence the taller one still kept his cold gaze on her.
"I think you will." He pushed the girl to the front between them, who was not satisfied by his instantaneous behaviour. Even so, she managed to smile and get closer to Jolene and causing him to take a few little steps back. She was not good at making friends and all of these sudden reactions were melting her brain out.
"Hey, I know it is a bit awkward of us coming out of clear sky and saying that we are coming from another school, especially when it is your first day here-"
"You weren't supposed to tell her that you know this information about her, stupid." The shorter guy rolled his eyes as she punched his arm in a playful manner.
"Aye, shut your mouth 'till I'm done! Anyways, where were we-" She was interrupted again by another source this time, and it was no other one than Jolene who was about to have a mental break down while she was feeling so much pressure on her.
"I'm sorry, but I don't... I don't feel so good... I can't talk right now, I gotta go and take my place before the professor comes in... I'm so sorry." She murmured a few more apologies as she made her way between them to get to the class. She thought she got rid of them until a hand held her arm to make her face with them again. The tight grip was loosened as her eyes met the other ginger's hopeful eyes, which Jolene found extremely weird and confusing.
"Let me finish, please." She said silently, but one could easily distinguish the force in her voice. Jolene could do nothing but nod her head as she bit her lower lip. "As you know," She kept going on with a victorious smile on her face, "We are coming from a special school where people like you might be are trained to control their powers."
"What power?" She unknowingly asked, her eyebrows were raised as she asked that question. The shorter guy stepped in with a warm smile on his face, as he was trying to reassure Jolene. He put his hand on her small shoulder while scanning her face like he could read her mind. "Now, I don't want you to be afraid, Jolene, but you might be different from all those people you see around. Have you ever thought about this - I know you did - that perhaps you have a different power from everyone else? Perhaps you were special among all these people around you? Well, we think you might be... We think you might belong in our society of special people, with special powers." Jolene was both surprised and astonished by what he tried to say. The girl's eyes were sparkling even more now, as she opened her mouth to say what she had in might out loud. "We think you might be a mutant, Jolene."
A/N: Hey there, fellas! Before I say anything about the fanfic, I shall make it clear that this is my first fanfiction and it is based on the story that my friend was writing in my native language. So, the other ginger girl -whose name is going to be Lilian, btw- was the main character of the storu and she created Jolene for me. So I wanted to see how it would be from her point of view, and I came up with the idea of writing it in English, since it is one of my biggest goals in the near future.
I hope you like the first chapter. It is going to be a long fanfic, at least that's how I want to make it. I will upload the second one as soon as possible. And also, thank you for reading it~ *-*
