Chapter 20: Acceptance
For the next two days I got to settle in at the school. I finally got to meet my other roommates. Sooraya was an Afghani girl who wore an abaya and a niqāb. Cessily was a girl who was made completely out of mercury, like I was made out of water.
Papa didn't haunt my dreams anymore. And this time, I blocked him all on my own.
I was playing foosball with Kevin, Josh, and another girl named Laurie, boys against girls, when Jean telepathically called me down to the infirmary. I rushed down there with Kevin who had also heard the message through our mental link.
When we entered the room, we both saw Emma sitting up in her bed rubbing her eyes. I ran over to her and hugged her as we both laughed.
"It's good to see you too, Ashida," she said when I let her go and stood by Kevin, who had come over during our exchange.
I smiled. "Ah'm glad ya're 'wake," I rejoiced.
Emma nodded. "So am I."
. . . . . . . . .
Kevin and I stayed at the school and eventually became X-men, taking on the codenames Wither and Hydra. Emma rejoined the X-men and slowly regained their trust. Jean learned how to keep the Phoenix under control as it continued to grow within her. We had all finally found where we belonged.
So, yah crappy ending but I'm no good at them yet. Hope to see you guys next week to make it up to you. Remember to review! Bye!
