Seeing that Kitty wasn't too inclined to talk, Angela set her stuff down on
the empty bed and began to unpack. She straightened up, feeling Kitty's
eyes watching her every move. Angela turned around, "So, how long have you
been here?"
Kitty looked at her, "Since my freshman year.Are you a mutant?"
"Excuse me?" said Angela blinking rapidly.
"Are you a mutant?"
Angela blinked again, "Why.No. Not that I know of."
"Oh. Well, I am. So if you have a problem with that you can just get another dorm room."
Angela smiled disarmingly, "No. I'm okay. I don't have a problem with mutants. Sometimes I wish I were one myself."
Kitty relaxed and smiled, "That's a relief. You wouldn't believe how hostile some people can get toward mutants."
Angela began putting her clothing in the wardrobe, "What is your ability, Kitty?"
Kitty grinned, "I thought you'd never ask. Watch this!" Kitty stood up and ran straight through the wooden door that led to the hallway.
Angela involuntarily let out a cry of surprise.
Kitty came back in, her grin wider than ever, "Whatcha think? Cool, eh?"
Angela nodded mutely, sitting in a state of shock.
Kitty jumped back onto her bed, messing up the covers. She eyed Angela thoughtfully, "Are you sure that you're not a mutant?"
"Well, I don't know. It's just that I've never done anything that even smacks of being a mutant. I guess that I could be without knowing it."
They both thought about this for a moment and then Kitty piped up, "Do you wanna get something from the cafeteria? I'm starved!"
"Sure! Lead the way."
Kitty leaped up and ran through the door with Angela right on her heels.
Angela followed her closely, forgetting that Kitty could go through things and assumed that she would open the door to go out. She saw the door looming ahead but was going too fast to stop in time to avoid running into the door. She closed her eyes in anticipation of the rapidly advancing blow. To her immense surprise, the blow never came! Angela opened her eyes just in time to see the floor coming up to catch her.
"Ow. That looked like it hurt." Kitty offered her hand to help Angela up, "Hey! Why is the door shut?"
Angela looked at her, bewildered, "I don't know. I was just following you when I remembered the door wasn't open and I was falling.But if the door was shut.And, how did I get out here?"
Kitty looked at her for a moment and then started to grin, "I knew it! You are a mutant, aren't you? Didn't you know?"
Angela looked at her blankly, "A mutant? But I can't be! Can I?"
Kitty smirked, "Of course you can! I am. C'mon, let's go see the Prof' and then we can get something to eat."
