Chapter One: Awkward Feelings
There was silence in the classroom, not a sound could be heard except the scratching of pencils against paper.
Marie worked nervously as she tried to complete her biology test while trying to remember the answers to the last few questions.
She wondered why she felt so jittery and her heart thumped faster whenever she was near Dr. Grey.
Oh God, I hope she doesn't notice… Marie thought to herself.
'Marie, get back to your test. Class ends in two minutes.' The voice of Jean Grey in her mind jolted Marie as she turned in the direction of a smiling redhead.
Oh, my god. Never, ever again… Must finish this test and get the hell away from here. Marie thought to herself as she answered the last question with pure determination.
'You're a good student, Marie. One of the best. I'm perfectly sure you did fine.' Dr. Grey said to Marie telepathically.
'Thank you, Dr. Grey.' The bell rang, signaling the end of the period.
Students file out of the room hurriedly, for they were excited that their last class of the day was over.
She's so cute, Jean thought to herself. She straightened up the crooked desks before making her way to Marie's desk to get her test papers.
Hmm, what's this? Jean picked a fountain pen from Marie's desk and examined it closely. Must be Marie's. I'd better get this to her…
Jean looked at the pile of test papers and sighed inwardly, after I grade those.
Jean placed the pen down on her desk, and turned her attention back to the tall pile of test papers.
To be continued…
