Another year at X-Mansion was around the corner. Professors and students had been busting ass to get everything in order. I however wasn't as worried as I probably should've been. This was officially my last year as a student and I was hoping to land a job here as a defense teacher, but this year would have to go over really well for that to happen. Even though I'm sure Professor X would gladly give me the job, I wanted to feel as though I had earned it.
The students were unloading their belongings back into their rooms, seeing as they had spent the summer at home with their parents. I, however, had stayed here. My parents had disowned me when they found out I was a mutant at age 15 so I spent my summers here…no reason to go back right? That's what I tried to tell my best friend Katelynn near the end of last year when she said she would stay with me. "Well then you should come spend the summer with us!" she had said when I told her I wouldn't hear of her staying away from her family for the summer. I kindly declined her offer and explained how X-mansion was my home now and there was no need to depart from it during the summer.
I pulled the last few bags out of Katelynn's car as she pulled her suitcase up the steps to hold open the door. "Geez Katie! What'd you pack, the entire house?" We laughed as I carried her stuff into the Mansion. I sat her luggage on the granite floor and stood up to take a breather. "Those steps + your bags = death. I'm telling you what…" I said sighing and bending down to pick them up again. Another arm reached down and lifted them before I could. I looked up and saw him. "I can handle those Logan." "It's no problem just show me where to." He said with an uninterested look in his eyes. He had probably been told to help students carry their things. I took Katie's suitcase out of her hand and hauled it up the stairs, leading them both to her room, right down the hall from mine.
I pulled out her keys, unlocked, and shoved open her door. We instantly put down her things feeling as though we had carried a ton of bricks…or at least I did. When I turned around Logan was still there. "Well thanks for the help." I said giving a small smile. "Like I said, it's not a problem kid." He smirked and walked out of the room. I rolled my eyes. I was not a kid.
Katelynn peaked her head out the door, and seeing that there was nobody in the hallway, closed it. "Do you have a problem with Logan?" She asked. I shrugged, "Not really." She crossed her arms and cocked an eyebrow. "Look, Katie. I don't have a problem with him. But the way I see it, Logan only talks to people like us if he has to." I said walking to her window. "People like us?" She asked taking a seat on her bed. "People he considers 'kids'. " I said. I pulled her bag of personal items into the bathroom and started putting things into their place. "He knows nothing about us, yet he insists on deeming all of us as immature children. I'm sorry if I was short with him, but I don't wanna talk to someone who doesn't wanna talk to me. Just thought I'd put both of us out of our misery." "Oh…to me it looked like he didn't mind talking to you." My eyes got big and I poked my head out of the bathroom. The look on her face made it seem like she was telling the truth. "I doubt that. He seemed highly uninterested…like he was forced to help us." I said taking her empty luggage and putting it in the top of her closet. "Okay," she giggled, "If you can call a smile like that forced."
