Disclaimers on chapter I
Chapter VI
The smile on her face as she finished off her homework assignment clearly showed that Kitty had had a good first day.
The lessons were interesting and the teachers actually gave her a challenge unlike her former school teachers who just made her look over her notes for upcoming tests whilst the rest of the class tried to catch up to her level key word tried. Her stunt during lunch time made her famous as the first person who pranked Kurt and said elf, as she has decided to dub him, did not seem upset about it which was a major plus seeing as he was her best friend.
After classes she was given a front row seat to her first game of Mutantball and within five minutes she definitely thought it was better than the baseball scene in Twilight. She had seen element manipulators, metamorphers, energy and solid projectile launchers, animal imitators, sound emitters and even a couple of teleporters to name a few. All in all Kitty was going to like it at the mansion.
"So Kitty" Said one of her roommates, Jubilation Lee, who lay sprawled across her own bed catching her attention. "After seeing a game of Mutantball and enjoying the view of most of the guys near your age or above, any catch your eye?"
"C'mon Jubilee!" Amara, Kitty's other roommate, exclaimed as she looked up from her magazine to stare at the girl. "Did you not see Kitty drool over Piotr during lunch?"
Kitty quickly looked back at the sheets of paper in front of her in order to prevent the girls from seeing her blush. She had hoped that only Kurt and Piotr had seen her like that but apparently not from what Amara just said.
"I don't think we'd work out well" She replied without turning round. 'Plus I'd need a footstool just so the top of my head reaches his chin'
Her two roommates huffed but did not let up.
"What about John or Bobby?" Amara suggested. "You were talking to them during lunch as well"
Kitty noticed that Amara had failed to mention Kurt's name but before she could point it out Jubilee cut her off.
"Bobby uh-huh, John nuh-unh" She said shaking her head from side to side. "Whilst I normally go for the bad boy on occasion John is a definite no. Maybe Ray or Sam?"
"I was talking to Kurt at lunch as well" Kitty interrupted as she turned to face her two surprised roommates. "So why have you not mentioned him?"
Jubilee and Amara looked at one another and grinned widely. Kitty was immediately regretting interrupting them now.
"So you do have a thing for Kurt" Jubilee remarked as she turned back to her.
"What?! No I don't!" Kitty exclaimed as her cheeks started sporting a pink hue.
"Oh really?" Amara asked not believing her. "Then why have you rarely been without him since coming here?"
"And why was he with you last night?" Jubilee continued before a sudden thought struck her. "Actually, what were you two doing last night?"
Kitty's face went from pink to deep red when she realised that they had been awake when Kurt had dropped her onto her own bed. Had she been more awake she would have asked Kurt to put her down outside her room but she was so tired, and happy that she had a new friend, that the moment her head struck the pillow she fell straight to sleep.
"And he's got his own room too!" Amara giggled. "You'll tell us if he's got those tattoo thingies down there after you've done it right?"
"WHAT?!" Kitty all but screeched as she felt her face go even hotter than she thought possible whilst her roommates laughed at her reaction.

Kitty, John Bobby and Rogue grabbed the first four seats they could grab next to one another in the front row. All of them nervous, curious and excited about how their best friend/former classmate/big brother she never had would handle his first class. Whilst the rest of the class slowly arrived Kitty turned to Rogue who was sitting between herself and Bobby whilst John sat on the other side.
"Your travelling companion is awake" She said making Rogue break off her conversation with Bobby to look at her.
"Mah what?" She asked sounding confused.
"The guy you came in with" Kitty elaborated. "You know the one Kurt joked that he had to take away himself to prevent a bloodbath?"
Rogue snorted as she remembered the events of yesterday whilst Bobby looked confused about what they were talking about. John just ignored the conversation all together content with playing about with his lighter.
"He's not really mah trav'lin buddy, he was jist givin me ah lift t'thah next town" Rogue explained after she had calmed down a bit.
Before Kitty or the boys could ask her to elaborate their teacher teleported into the classroom.
"Guten tag mien former classmates" Kurt said cheerfully whilst his pupils cheered for him before settling down. "Now before I take ze register I must zank you for risking your lives by signing up for zis class and varn you if you do not show up I vill find you und teleport you here myself so make sure you are properly dressed"
"Reckon he'll make an exception fer ya or just wants an excuse to show up when yer just in yer britches?" Rogue whispered suggestively to Kitty whilst the rest of the class, minus John, laughed at Kurt's joke. Kitty replied by elbowing her friend as her face started to warm.
Over the next hour and a half Kurt proved himself to be a popular teacher. He blended the boring history readings with his sense of humour making it an interesting read and always asked for a different student to elaborate certain parts. Several times he had to ask Kitty to wait a minute before answering a question in case someone else knew the answer as well and twice he had to tell John to stop playing with his lighter during class or he would let Kitty phase it into a wall never to be seen again. When the bell rang the class moaned as they were actually enjoying themselves.
"If you lot vant somezing to moan about I can hand out homework for you" Kurt joked which immediately shut them up. "You lot are so gullible zese days, now get going"
He watched as they left, some of them congratulating him on making a good teacher en route, only breathing a sigh of relief once the last pupil had left the classroom. He was slightly surprised when he realised that Kitty, Bobby and Rogue were standing in front of his desk. All three of them looked curious yet very cheerful for some reason.
"Ja?"
"We were just wondering something" Kitty began. "Should we call you Mister Wagner?"
"Or Professor Wagner?" Bobby added trying to contain his laughter.
"Or Brother Nightcrawler?" Rogue continued although how she said it without bursting out laughing was beyond her.
"Ja, ja I get ze point just Kurt vill do" Kurt interrupted causing the three students to burst out laughing. He waited for them to calm down before asking his own question. "Did I do okay today?"
"Okay?" Kitty repeated sounding shocked. "Kurt you were great! If all teachers were like you then there wouldn't be so many idiots out there!"
"Teacher's pet" Bobby muttered to Rogue forcing her to fake cough to cover her laughter as Kitty glared at them.
Kurt found himself holding back his laughter himself before turning to focus on Rogue. "Und how are you getting on viz zese troublemakers fraulien?"
Rogue could not help but burst out laughing as her friends exclaimed simultaneously at Kurt's implication.
"Ah don know how yah put up with 'em" She replied causing her friends to glare at her instead.
"Usually I just ignore zem" Kurt explained pretending that it was only Rogue and himself in the room, until Kitty had grabbed hold of his tail that is.
"Ah think yer girlfriend's havin second thoughts 'bout yer relationship" Rogue stated before suddenly becoming glum that she could never have an intimate relationship with anyone. She was startled when Kurt suddenly teleported in front of her and quickly flicked her nose.
"Whit was thaht for?!" She hollered as she rubbed her sore nose. "Ya trahin tah get put intah ah coma or sumthin?"
"C'mon Rogue" Bobby said trying to calm her down. "It was for barely a second"
Rogue grumbled something before feeling the inevitable itch that came before sneezing. When she did sneeze however she disappeared in a cloud of blue smoke shocking the rest of them.
"Vell zat's just wunderbar" Kurt stated before sending a mental note to the Professor to inform him of the disappearing damsel.
