Chapter 6 - The Reading Group
The Next Day...
Shalimar's Room
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
Westchester, New York
Shalimar lay in her bed staring up at the ceiling. She hated being confined. They had canceled her self defense class she used to teach. She was dressed, but Adam and Brennan had stopped her earlier. She heard a knock and sat up and turned to face the door. "Come in."
The door opened and one of the kids from her self defense class peeked in.
Shalimar smiled, "come on in."
"Are you sure?" Jordan asked.
"Yeah."
Jordan opened the door and walked in along with nine other students.
Shalimar giggled, "what are you all doing here?"
"They said you were sick..."
"I'll be fine."
"They canceled class!" Emily added.
"Adam said it was something to do with mutation..." Kala added quickly.
The ten worried faces all looked at Shalimar.
"I'll be fine, I'm just too weak to be teaching class especially self defense," Shalimar tried to explain.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Sarah asked.
"I'll be fine..."
"Can't we do something else? Where you could still teach us?" Amaris asked sadly.
"Yeah," Grant agreed. "We like you as our teacher."
"I don't know," Shalimar said looking at each of them. "It's not that I don't want to...it's just that I have to listen to Adam and the others."
"I think Adam will agree when I tell him my idea...perhaps you can have a reading group?" came the voice of Professor Charles Xavier from the doorway. One of the kids had left the door open.
Shalimar looked up at him. "That might not be a bad idea."
"Ahhh but that involves actually reading a book!" Jordan complained.
"I'm sure Miss Fox can make it more interesting than you give her credit for, Jordan," Xavier said. "I'll get books and materials together. You can start tomorrow."
"Thank you," Shalimar said.
Xavier nodded in response and left.

Living Room
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
Westchester, New York
It was ten o'clock and the kids were all suppose to be in bed with lights out. Xavier, Adam, Ororo, Scott, Jean, Shalimar, Brennan, Jesse, and Emma were all meeting in the living room just to catch up. Xavier, Adam, and Jean were sipping tea. "The professor was telling me about your reading group, Shalimar. I think it will be wonderful for the kids," Jean said smiling kindly.
"Reading group?" Adam asked. No one had told him. There had been a reason, Adam was overprotective of his children and they wanted to ease him into the idea.
"Yes," Xavier began, "some of Shalimar's students visited her and I thought a reading group would be a good way to keep the kids from the self defense class and Shalimar occupied."
"I see."
"That'll be great," Brennan chimed in. "Aren't a lot of the kids interested in those Harry Potter books?"
"Yeah...some of the kids asked about doing a book report on those books," Emma said.
"That's precicely what I was thinking," Xavier told them.
"Harry Potter?" Shalimar asked.
"It's like about a school for witches and warlocks...it's this big thing," Jesse said.
"Yeah it's pretty popular," Jean agreed. "Everyone seems to like it. I haven't read it, but it's gotten great reviews..."
"Aren't there movies?" Scott asked.
"I think so," Ororo said.
"So, it's settled then?" Xavier asked.
"Seems that way," Shalimar told him.
