CHAPTER 4
I finally got back to my room, after dodging through the chaos of the institute. I nearly collided with several kids who were playing tag.
As I sat on my bed this gave me a chance to appreciate the size of the room. For a boarding school, this place certainly was spacious and welcoming. It was almost possible to consider it a home, as I'm sure many kids here did.
The room was entirely old dark oak from the wall panels, the bed frames, the desks and wardrobes. The room had large bay windows that overlooked the gardens. This view was certainly a nice change from the non-existent one back at the town house. I noticed now that Kitty had several posters up by her bed, some old films others of bands. I had to say, she didn't have totally bad taste in music, as I saw a Kills poster.
Her bed sheets matched mine, dark red in color.
I finally got around to unpacking my things, when Kitty entered the room.
"Finally done my classes for the day..thank god." She exclaimed as she collapsed onto her bed.
"What classes do you have?" I asked as I hung up the last of my clothes into the spacious wardrobe.
"Well, I'm in the 11th grade so the first half of the day is typical stuff, Math, Science, English.." "then after lunch it's mutant history and Phys ed." She stated
"Ahh"
"How 'bout you? What grade are you in?" she asked me.
"Twelve" I answered
I went over to my desk where my schedule was and looked at it

"You have classes with Bobby and Rogue then, kids in the same grade have the same schedule" She went on to say.
"Bobby and Rogue?" I asked.
"They're pretty much the "it" couple around here..both are really sweet. Especially Bobby" She said with a slight blush.
"Rogue is cool though..there was some major drama with her last year though with Magneto and his crew, tried to use her for some plot to turn world leaders into mutants"
"Magneto?" I asked now extremely confused. "Oh right! She said, I forget some mutants don't know this stuff. Magneto's this mutant extremist dude, and the X men, some of the older students and alumni of the school are a team that pretty much diffuse mutant situations that would pretty much be catastrophic otherwise, most of which caused by Magneto and his team"
"Yeah, I think the professer mentioned something about the "Xmen"" I said.
This was extremely surreal. It had only begun to sink in how little I knew about the mutant world, despite being one.
