When McKenzie woke up all the other mutants where back from school. It was only around four to most of them would be in the lobby doing their homework. McKenzie wondered if anyone had brought home her homework. She hated to get behind in her work. McKenzie got up and went into the wash room to comb her hair. She had only been asleep since 12:00 but her long brown hair tangled easily. After that she went down to the lobby. McKenzie wad very shy so she stood at the door way, playing with the golden heart that hung around her neck, waiting for someone to come talk to her. After a wile she saw Kitty get up and come toward her.

"Hey Mickey! I missed you on the bus today, where were you?"

"I, um, came home - err - here . at lunch."

Oh, you, like, Should have told me and I would have brought your homework."

Kitty was the first person McKenzie met when she came to the institute and now they where the best of friends. McKenzie didn't make friends easily, especially with her difference from humans, so she welcomed Kitty's company.

"Well . the whole thing happened kinda fast. McKenzie told her.

"Well, I ,like, need a brake from this homework stuff so do you, like, wanna do something?"

"uh sure but it's getting close to supper time so whatever we do will have to be quick!"

"True! We don't want to get to supper to find out Kurt has eaten it all!!"

At this both girls burst out laughing.
