I walked into my room and grabbed a pink tank top. A run was just what I need. I looked into the mirror and frowned. My brown hair sat dead strait around my face and fell all the way down my back and stopped six inches above my butt. My grey eyes were shaped exactly like a cat's and they were hidden under thick lashes. I had a pretty face, I guess. My lips were so thick, I hated them but my foster mother who was an actress told me that women killed for those lips. I rolled my eyes and wrapped my hair up into a high bun. A pulled on the tank top and changed into some black jogging shorts I had packed. I had a while till I had to meet Kitty, but I wanted to run at least six miles before then.

I shuffled through my duffel bag until I found some running shoes and went outside into the crisp, cool air. I took a deep breath in and started running the perimeter of the school grounds. I followed the high fence and checked out the security. It wouldn't be hard to sneak out, but with Professor Xavier's little power, I bet it was harder than I thought. I ran around and figured I had run a little more than a mile. I kept going until I heard a rustling in the bushes. I stopped, looking over at where it had come from. There was nothing, but I tried to pick up on Logan's scent power and smelled some cologne in the air. I smiled and started smelling the scent. I walked up to the bushes and it got much stronger. I rolled my eyes.

"You mine as well come out, I know you are in there." The bush came to have a more prominent shape about it and I smiled as a boy appeared. His shaggy blond hair hung in his eyes.

"How did you see me?" His voice wasn't nervous, or cocky, it was smooth. I smiled as I looked him up and down. He had a Green Day shirt on and black jeans. I looked at his green eyes and smiled.

"I didn't, what is that, Ace?"

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing, so are you sneaking out?"

"Maybe. Are you gonna stop me?

"Why should I, you aren't bothering me." His smile grew and he looked at me closely.

"You're new."

"Good job. Kat." I held up my hand and he shook it.

"Will." I smiled. "So," he raised a brow, "Wanna come along?"

Now I don't want to say anything, but I am a little bit of a goody-two-shoes. I considered his offer, thinking that maybe here I could be the carefree popular girl who skips classes with a cute guy. Which he was, I mean cute, not a carefree popular girl. "So, are you in?"

"Sorry, I'm out."

"Okay, I will see you later, Kitty Kat." I laughed. He slowly disappeared into the bushes again and I decided to finish my run...

"Hey, how are you?" Kitty ran up to me with a black bag.

"I'm good. So how was class?"

"Boring, what else? Ready to shop?"

"Yes I am." We both walked through the gates. She pointed to town about a mile away.

"Sorry, we are going to have to walk."

"No we won't." I held her hand and transported us to town, another power I had seen.

"Whoa, warn me before you do that again. Hey nice landing, we're at the mall." We both went inside and started looking around for some nice stores and clothes. "So," she said as she browsed, "Have you met anyone yet?"

"Yeah, I caught this one boy sneaking out, his name was Will."

"Oh, Chameleon," she smiled at his nickname, "He is pretty nice, I guess. He is kinda a rebel, but he's pretty nice." I smiled and we kept shopping...

I sat on my bed that night looking at the tons of shopping bags around me. Kitty was obviously a bad influence when it came to shopping, because I have never spent so much. I smiled as I unpacked them bag by bag and left one bag for last. It had a mirror in it and some other things to decorate my room. I could use some powers I had learned, but I felt better making it look good the old fashion way.

Once I was done with all the bags, I changed into a t-shirt and a pair of pajama pants and decided I was thirsty. I headed down to the kitchen to see if there was anything in there for me. I walked into it to see Logan, who had his claws out trying to open something that I couldn't see. I looked down at my knuckles.

"That isn't my power; you won't have a problem with that."

"What?"

"That," he motioned to one of his hand's blades, "Is metal running through my body."

"Oh, doesn't that hurt?" A smile flashed across his face and he nodded.

"Only when I use it. What do you call yourself, kid?"

"Kat, and you are Logan, right?"

"Wolverine. It's a nickname. You know, in respect of my mutant self."

"Oh, that's cool, like my whole copy Kat bit."

"Yeah, like that. So, tomorrow is the big day?"

"Big day for what?" I raised an eyebrow in confusion

"Oh, you don't know? Tomorrow we will put you in the simulator to see what kind of training you will need. All the students do it, well, ones with powers that can help. Usually you go in as a group, but in your case we feel it would be better to see what you know. The professor believes you will do well, so I am confident. No one has ever died in one of these, you won't get hurt." He added this to comfort me. I must have had a worried look on my face.

"Oh, that's good. So, what do you do at this school? Are you a teacher?"

"On a good day. Professor believes I can do well and hopefully help get a new teacher." He paused and looked at the ground. "We, um, lost two this year."

"Oh," there was an awkward silence, I hated those. "I am sorry, were you close to them."

"Yeah," He was now different, guarded. "Don't worry about it, it isn't that big of a deal." I frowned and looked at him closely, wishing I had saved the mind reading power to listen to his thoughts.

"Well, I better get to bed." I grabbed a glass of water and headed upstairs.
