The airport was crowded when they disembarked, the people from their plane went through the gates [the security guard barley even glanced at Katie before letting her though], and collected their bags at the bag pick up.
Katie stood by the escalator just looking at all the people walking around the airport, there are more people down there than in my whole town just walking around the lobby she thought to herself.
"Are you alright Katie?" Dr. Jean Grey asked from behind her.
"Yes m'am, I'm just not used to seeing so many people in one place." Katie answered still looking at the crowded lobby.
Don't worry you'll get used to it after a while." Dr. Jean Grey said smiling at the amazed girl.
Katie got onto the escalator and rode it down to the first floor and the three of them walked out the front door, where a black suv was parked by the curve waiting for them "Katie this is Mr. Logan he's a teacher at the school." Mr. Summers said as a man with wild black hair that came to points on either side of his head, he was wearing a flannel shirt and blue jeans.
"Hi Mr. Logan, my name is Katie Jones." she said smiling at him shyly at him.
"Logan." was all he said to her before taking her bags and putting them in the car.
Katie thought that she had done something wrong until Mr. Summers told her that for Logan that was as close to a cheerful hello as anyone got from him.
She got into the suv and looked out of the window as they drove through the city. this city's way bigger than Greenville. Katie thought to herself as the passed Times Square.
They eventually made it out of the city after about an hour and turned onto the interstate and followed it until they exited off at an off ramp that read, Winchester four miles, after that the trip seemed to fly by.
The next thing she knew the were pulling up to the school's front gate, Logan brought the car to a stop and reached out the window to type in four numbers on a keypad mounted to a pole beside the car, the gate slid to the side of two stone columns. The drive way was lined with large oak trees on both sides that looked to be at least a hundred years old to her.
They turned a bend in the driveway and the school came into sight, it looked more like a mansion than a school to her, Katie swore that it looked bigger than the Biltmore house back home.
Suddenly a boy with blue hair flew through the air in front of the car and grabbed a low hanging tree limb swinging on across the driveway, MR. Logan slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting him.
The boy kept swinging from tree to tree as two more teens with water guns ran out of the wood on the side of the drive he had come from and chased him into the woods on the other side of the driveway.
MR. Logan cursed under his breath and Katie turned bright red and looked down at the floor board.
They started moving again and soon they were at the front doors of the school, MR. Summers got out and unloaded their bags from the trunk and said he would take them inside when Katie tried to take her own luggage.
"A weird look crossed DR. Jean Gray's face and said, "Katie the professor would like to see you as soon as you are comfortable."
"Ok." She said nervous again.
Katie was walking up the steps when a girl with two white stripes in her hair ,wearing a long sleeve shirt and gloves came running out of the door and down the steps nearly running them down.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!" she said as she grabbed Katie's arm to keep her from falling.
Katie this is Rogue" DR. Grey said as she steadied herself.
"She's been here for about six mouths." Mr. Logan said as he walked past them in the longest sentence he'd spoken the whole trip from the airport and that included when he'd slammed on the brakes.
"It's nice to meet you." Katie said as she regained her balance.
"Well I'll talk to you latter, ok I've got to catch Jubilee and Kitty before the drown hank." Rogue said as she started running towards the driveway.
Katie looked around her in wonder as they walked through the front lobby of the school, the room was paneled with dark brown wood and had pictures of former students hanging on them, to the right was a door that led to what looked to be a game room that had a pool table and a few pinball machines in it, she could hear the sound of several people talking in the room as they passed by the doorway on their way to the professors office.
They passed several class rooms and a stair case that DR. Gray said led to the dorms before they came to a set of double doors at the end of the hall.
Dr. Jean Grey lightly tapped on the door and a mans voice told them to enter, [the office was outfitted the same as the rest of the school as far as Katie could see as she walked into the room.] behind a large desk sat a man with a kind but serious features, he smiled when he saw her enter the room.
