chapter 5 Back to school troubles
Summer was almost over and the young mutants at the Xavier Institute were going to be getting ready to go back to school. Many of the students were going to high school while some like Bobby were in middle school.
They were getting school supplies. "Okay I got my Pokemon backpack, my Pokemon lunchbox, and shark lock pencil case, okay now I need some notebooks," Hannah said.
"I we all know that," Warren said.
"I got my supplies," Toad said.
"I see they are mostly green," Pietro said.
"It's my favorite color," Toad said.
"I got my notebooks," Hannah said.
"I can see that," Wanda said.
"I got mine too," Kurt said. "I just love back to school shopping," he said.
"Yeah it's pretty cool," Jubilee said.
"I just can't believe I am finally going to a public school, most of my life it's been private schools and I am telling you those uniforms are most uncomfortable," Warren said.
"Well public school is different, from private school in some ways." Hannah said.
"So no uniforms?" Warren excitedly.
"No uniforms but there are dress codes even for the mutants," Scott said.
"Does it mean I have to wear a fancy jacket?" Warren asked.
"No," Jean said. "Here I have it printed out," she said handing it to him.
"I see," Warren said looking at the paper.
"Warren most people at a public school, the whole rich boy thing might be a way fro them to get whatever they want because of your money and they may think your a snob, bratty and spoiled," Bobby said.
"He's got a point," Toad said.
"Okay," Warren said.
"Now I want to get some back to school clothes," Hannah said.
Once shopping was finished everyone had lunch.
Warren talked to his parents on the phone a bit later. "Warren you are going to be going to a public school?" his father asked.
"Yes and I don't mind, it gives me a chance wear different clothes everyday," Warren said.
"Well just remember to be careful after all some students want to take advantage of rich classmates," his mother said.
"I know, my friends at the institute told me so don't worry," Warren said.
"Okay do your best," his parents said.
"Okay bye," Warren said and hung up.
The first day of school came. "Come on let's go," Hannah said. Then they climbed on the bus.
Warren was sitting next to Hannah.
"Are those wings real?" a kid whispered to the kid sitting next to him.
"Touch them stupid," his friend said.
The kid touched Warren's wing. "Yipe!" Warren said. Then he turned his head. "What did you touch my wing for?" he asked.
"I just wanted to know if they were real," the kid said.
"Have you thought about asking me?" Warren asked him.
"I never thought of that my friend told me to touch them," the teen said.
"Oh so you do what your friend tell you too, if your friend told you to jump off a bridge would you do it?" Warren asked.
"No," the kid said.
"That's what I thought," Warren said.
"Are you a mutant?" the kid asked.
"Yes," Warren said. "Some of the students on this bus are mutants," he said.
"I see," the kid said. "I'm Damien," he said.
"I'm Warren," Warren said.
Once the bus stopped at the school everyone got out. Things were not easy. Many people found out who Warren was as a rich person. A few thought he was snooty and the others thought he might be their ticket to the good life or popularity.
A girl name Trisha Finet began to flirt with him. "Now Warren would you like to hang out after school?" she asked.
"No thanks, Hannah, our friend and I are going to the mall," Warren said.
"Hannah you mean that hick from Texas?" Trisha said.
"Don't talk about Hannah like that she is my friend," Warren said. Warren also had other problems people were teasing him calling him snooty rich boy and bird boy.
"Just ignore them," Toad said.
"Yeah they are just jerks," Pietro told him.
"Okay," Warren said.
Warren had other troubles but he did his best not to let it get to him.
When he got home he sat down on the sofa and sighed. "You alright wings?" Logan asked.
"I just had a hard first day," Warren said.
"Well what happened?" Logan asked sitting down beside him.
"Well some of the kids were teasing me about my wings, and others they thought I was a snob and they didn't even know me, and some of the kids were all like let's go hang out and I know why because they were interested in my money," Warren said.
"Warren you went through a big change, first you were at a school where there were nothing but rich kids, and now you are going to a school with kids with lots of different backgrounds, but just remember sooner or later things will get better, then you will know who you real friends are and who to trust," Logan said.
"Thanks Logan that makes me feel better," Warren said.
"Good," Logan said.
Warren knew things were not easy at his new school best thing he could do was help. Then next day he helped a kid who was being bullied. "You are like an angel," the kid said.
"Angel huh?" Warren asked. "I guess that is very fitting for me," he said.
Once again at the institute the others heard about his kindness. "From now on I am not just Warren, call me Angel," he said.
