Kellie kept shooting Jamie anxiety-filled looks as the followed their new
acquaintances, Kitty and Kurt, down another wood paneled hallway. Both of
them weren't exactly sure how to react. Kellie had turned down Kitty's
handshake from before out of pure shock, which left the teenage girl
bitter, and not as lively as when they first met. Kurt kept scampering in
front of the three girls, searching both ways before taking them down
another corridor. Jamie began to get restless.
"What the hell is going on Kel?" Jamie whispered harshly, to her sidekick Kellie.
Kellie still confused herself, shrugged. "Beats me. But if you wanna know my honest opinion, it looks like we got sucked into an Evolution episode."
Jamie's facial feature fell weary. "You've got to be joking me."
"No joke."
Jamie folded her arms across her chest. " All righty, missy. How did you come to that conclusion?"
"The lightning, the television, Evolution just happened to be on.." Kellie explained.
Jamie shook her head, not wanting to believe this. "We must be on crack Kel, if we both are believing this story you concocted up."
"Hey, it's the best I've got."
"That's pretty sad." Jamie trailed off, taking in the scenery around her. It was a long while of walking, before either of them spoke again.
"Hey Jamie ..." Kellie paused and glanced up to the ceiling, a devilish grin on her face. "Think they approve of gratuitous sex -- "Jamie elbowed her in the side.
"Don't even say it." She hissed through her clenched teeth. Kitty, at that moment, turned her head over shoulder to peer at the two teenage 'new' recruits. Both Kellie and Jamie mustered up a genuine smile and wave to her. Kitty simply upturned her nose and continued walking forward. The two girls cringed.
"You got on her bad side Kel." Jamie began, amused.
"Like you're any better. 'I fell down and hurt my head. Oh, Kurt help me up!'" Kellie mocked, her voice tinged with jealousy.
"Who's bad side are you assuming I got on?" Jamie inquired.
"Mine." Was the curt reply from Kellie. "You so faked your fall."
"Did not." Jamie cantered back, childishly.
"Did too."
"Did not!"
"Did --"
"Shh!" Kitty's voice chided in front of them. Their ridiculous arguing had started to get on her nerves.
After a brief silence, Kellie retorted back. "You did too and you know it."
"And it hurt!"
"So you admit it!" Kellie whispered back quickly.
"But seriously Kel," Jamie whined, " I think I have a mondo bruise forming on my --"
"Shhh!" This time it was Kurt that interrupted their mindless bickering. One of his claws was over his mouth in a silencing fashion, as they all huddled around a large oak door. Kellie and Jamie both exchanged glances, before looking back. Kurt raised a fist to knock, but stop short, another claw coming to clasp his head. As if he was nodding in agreement with someone, he opted to the doorknob instead. Kitty pushed Kellie and Jamie forward into the room closing the door behind her and Kurt.
When they entered, Jamie almost fell to the floor. The room was furnished in the same manner as the rest of the house. A massing mahogany desk was settled in front of them, surrounded by bookshelves and pictures. Plants adorned the room, along with a few desks, unoccupied. A large chalkboard was next to the desk, scribbled upon with numbers and equations.
An older man, without hair and clad in a metallic wheelchair, came out from behind the escritoire, pausing only a few feet in front of them. Jamie's face went sour.
"If we have to do calculus I'm so screwed." It was Kellie's turn to elbow Jamie in the side.
"Good afternoon. I'm Professor Charles Xavier," His voice fairly monotone. He sounded as if he had done this before. "Welcome to the School for Gifted Youngsters."
Kellie let a small gasp of excitement free, before clasping a hand over her mouth.
"You have been brought here because of the arrival of your gifts and extraordinary --"
Professor Xavier was cut off by the sudden outburst of short-haired teenager. "We have gifts!? Kel we have mutant powers!" Jamie screeched the older of the pair, giving Kellie a hearty slap on the back. Though slightly shocked, Kellie glanced over to Jamie. "Rock...ON!" Instantly, the two gave a high five.
Xavier cleared his throat to regain the girls' attention again. Kellie once again elbowed Jamie, embarrassed. Jamie expression, on the other hand, became solemn and guilt-stricken. The professor was even less impressed.
"If I may continue." He asked politely.
Kellie and Jamie both nodded in unison. A hissing chuckle came from Kitty and Kurt behind them.
"You both have extraordinary abilities, therefore we selected you to enlist here. Though keeping the other occupants of the mansion here for studies would only further separate the gap between mutants and human beings, so you will both be enrolled in the local high school." At that moment, he handed both of them manila folders, filled with papers. "These are your registration documents. You will attend tomorrow." He stated with finality. Jamie gave Kellie a disgusted frown. School was not something she was looking forward too.
Looking past them, his stone-cold face warmed into a minute smile. "Come in Scott." Xavier called out to the doorway. Jamie quickly exchanged a heated glance with Kellie. There wasn't even a knock.
Cautiously, the massive door was hulled open, to reveal fairly tall boy about there age. Chestnut colored hair, strong build, a little lanky but that was besides the case. He also wore a peculiar pair of red sunglasses, though it was too dark within the room for any normal person to actually be wearing them. It was Jamie's turn to filled with flirtatious giggles.
"Jamie, Kellie. This is --" The professor didn't even get to finish.
"Scott Summers!" Jamie blurted out, only to have a hand clamped over her mouth soon afterwards. Kellie gave a nervous laugh. "We, uh -- Heard some kids talking about him on our way in. So she just figured -- uh -- you know." Kellie shot a nasty glare to Jamie after she tried to explain for Jamie's mishap. The smaller of the 'dynamic' duo, gave a sheepish smile to her friend. "We're not supposed to know them.." Kellie whispered viciously. They had to play along.
"Well then, Scott. This Jamie Cummings and Kellie Williams." The professor motioned to each of them with his hand. "New additions to the team."
Scott flashed his thousand-watt smile. "Nice to meet you, welcome aboard."
Jamie on the verge of collapsing at the sight of him, clung to Kellie for support. "Nice to meet you too." Kellie answered back first. She gave Jamie a slight nudge. Jamie swallowed the large lump in her throat and replied, "Ditto." Her voice was just above the squeak of a mouse.
Scott raised a brow from behind his shades, puzzled by the behavior of the both of them. Shrugging it off, he turned back to the professor. "You don't mind if I speak to you -- alone." His mild tenor voice sounded urgent. Suddenly, Jamie and Kellie felt out of place.
Charles nodded, and motioned to Kitty and Kurt who were still in the room. "Jamie, Kellie I believe you've met our resident students, Katherine Pryde, and Kurt Wagner." Jamie and Kellie both shook their heads quickly," I don't think Kitty will mind too much showing you where your bedrooms will be." A soft snort came from Kitty's direction. Man, did the girl hold a grudge.
Kurt gave a salute to everyone in the room. " No use for me then, though the girls dormitories.." A loud smack came from Kitty whacking Kurt upside the back of his head. Kellie could only snicker.
"I was just joking," He added in, "Auf Wiedersehen!" And with the popular 'bamf' noise, he was gone in a cloud of sulfur scented smoke. Kitty promptly fanned it away. Swiftly, Kitty opened the door again and shooed the other two out. Jamie and Kellie both watched until Kitty slammed the door shut. She stood in the entrance way, with her hands on her hips. "Like you don't get to know like everything yet."
Kellie grunted to Jamie, who just nodded. It was a secret language those two had. Kellie frowned, mumbling something Jamie, as the started to follow Kitty on another mansion escapade for the girls dorms. "Kitty-cat wants to test her last life.." Kellie threatened menacingly, shaking a fist behind Kitty's back.
Jamie just smirked. "It's cause she looks better with Kurt than you do, right?" Kellie just stuck her tongue out at her and Jamie laughed in response.
"What the hell is going on Kel?" Jamie whispered harshly, to her sidekick Kellie.
Kellie still confused herself, shrugged. "Beats me. But if you wanna know my honest opinion, it looks like we got sucked into an Evolution episode."
