(A/N: This story is about the X-Men but is set in a slightly altered
universe. The education system is not based on anything and thus is rubbish
as this writer knows nuts about teaching. The entire story is written from
the POV of students and teachers but Chapter 1, 2 and most likely 3, are
from Bobby and Jubilee's POV, mostly from the latter's. Don't be too harsh
cuz this is my 1st X-men fic.)
Disclaimer: I definitely dont own any of the original X-men characters or the universe-all of it belongs to the ppl at Marvel comics. But the OCs are all mine...you hear me? Mine! *gives evil laugh*

The JX-Men
By Kira Reen
Chapter 1-The Orientation Week at Mutant High
Bobby POV
Bobby sat on the floor of the auditorium and was utterly bored. Storm was droning on about orientation week. This was the reporting day for the new term Xavier's School for the "Gifted". Unofficially, the school had been established a term ago with just 6 students- Bobby, JuLee, Rogue, Spyke, Pyro and Jade- and 3 teachers, Mr McCoy, Professor Xavier and Storm. But this term was the start of the actual school with around 80 students ranging from 13-18 years of age and 10 teachers.
Year 1 had 20, Year 2 had 21 students, Year 3 had 18, Year 4 had 8, Year 5 had 8 and Year 6 had 5 students. Each year had a Teacher-Mentor who met with them 3 times a week. There were plenty of new kids here who were avidly listening to Storm's instructions about getting around the mansion and which places were off limits. Bobby who had been living at the aptly nicknamed "Mutant High" for the past 6 years of his life already knew all this.
All the kids would be staying here for the school terms and only a quarter would go home during the vacation breaks. The mansion cum school would only be empty during summer.
Storm then dismissed the entire hall full of students and bade them to report to the homerooms they had been assigned to where their Head of Years would be waiting. Storm then led the chattering Year 1s to the English Language Room. She smiled at the oohs and aahs she heard.
The Year 1s had lucked out with Storm thought Bobby. He knew for certain that the Year 2's had gotten Hank cuz Hank had told him. The Year 4s and 5s were being lumped together and he knew that his Year 6 had gotten Professor Xavier because the paper he held had his office printed under homeroom. But that still left the question of who Year 3's and Year 4/5's teachers were. Perhaps it was one of the new teachers. Bobby wondered what the 7 teachers were like and if they knew the entire truth about the school.
The juniors aged 13-15 did not take part in it. But the seniors were recruited for the X-men. The reason was that the seniors had a lighter load as they majored in the subject that they thought would be most useful to them in University and only had to take one or two other subjects, a foreign language and Elementary Science and Math refresher courses (only if they were not mjoring in adv science and math). Also, there was the fact that the juniors were too young.
Bobby turned around the corner and entered the Professor's study. A girl with black-brown hair and violet eyes was seated in the corner. "Hi, I'm Bobby Drake", he said. "Dani Elk Rivers of the Cheyenne", she introduced herself.
"You're Indian?" he asked curiously. "Yeah", she replied and asked, "So are we the only ones here?". "Nah, my friends Pyro, Jade and Spyke aren't here yet", he said. .~.~.~..~.~.~..~.~.~..~.~.~..~.~.~..~.~.~..~.~.~..~.~.~..~.~.~..~.~.~..~.~. ~..~.~.~..~.~.~.
Jubilee POV
"Hey Rogue, you have any idea who our teacher's gonna be?", Jubilee yelled across the hall as they both raced to the Math Room on the 2nd floor. "Ah have no idea darling", Rogue yelled back. They both reached the room to find 16 kids about the same age as them seated on the floor in a circle. "Why the hell is everyone on the floor?" JuLee shouted in her usual reckless way.
"Because that's what the teacher wrote on the board", a dark-skinned tall boy answered her as he coolly pointed at the board which said, "Please sit on the floor in a circle and wait for me as there is a meeting going on. Figure out who has the most number of letters in their name and ask that person to begin the icebreakers. Go in a clockwise direction. Each person must talk about themselves for 30 seconds".
"Oh, all right", Jubilee said before pulling Rogue and seating herself next to the boy. JuLee began observing all the people in her class. Next to the boy, whose name was Chris, there was a girl with very light brown skin and brown eyes with copper tinted black curls. The boy next to her was probably her twin as they both looked alike. Rogue was chatting with a girl who had silver almond-shaped eyes and blue-black hair.
On the opposite side of the room were 3 girls who were giggling girlishly. 'Cheerleaders', thought Jubes as she snorted in dismay. On their left were two boys who were chatting animatedly. Beside them, 4 guys were acting cool and flirting with the 3 cheerleaders. Last of all, a girl who had just come in was seated all by herself in a corner.
Then, another guy came in. He was dressed in typically grunge clothes- black polo shirt and jeans- but the peculiar thing was the red sunglasses he wore in doors. He glanced at all of them before raising an eyebrow cynically and looking at the board.
"So, hasn't anyone started the icebreaker yet?" he asked. The class quitened down a little before Chris got up. "Oh, well I bet my name is the longest so I'll start", he said. Shades came and sat down in the empty space between Chris and Jubilee. Chris said that he was 17 and was of Pan- Asian descent and that he liked to skate and surf. His power was the ability to hack into anything and his major was Computer Science.
Next was the Hispanic girl Triana or Tri, she loved reading and writing and her major was Literature. Next was Tristan, her twin who was 17. Then, the four "cool" guys stood up and introduced themselves as Joseph, Fred, Lazar and Pharin who were 17,17,16,16. The cheerleader wannabes were Carol, Lexy and Janice, who were all 16. The two boys were Kale and Rick who were both 17. The girl in the corner said in a soft voice that her name was Elewyn and she was 16. 'What a wimp!' Jubilee thought as she did not say anything about her childhood or parents unlike the rest who had revealed that they were orphans, streetkids, gangsters, rejected by their parents, lived with foster parents or had a happy family etc.
Next was Rogue's friend's turn and she stood up and said "Hi! My name's Lianne Chong and I'm a 16 year old, Chinese American girl. I have the power to throw silver darts from my hands. I used to live alone with my father who smokes and drinks all the time and I ran away last year. So I am happy for the chance to be here". Rogue stood up next and I was amazed to hear her relate her story to the others. My turn arrived and I told them a bit about myself as well as life on the streets compared to after the Professor had taken me in a year and a half ago.
Finally, it was Shades' turn. "Hi, I hope we can ha ve a pleasant year together", he started out. 'Jeez, who does he think he is-pleasant year together indeed', I thought. "My name is Scott Summers and I was a military brat who grew up everywhere including overseas. My parents died in a crash and I grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by Professor Xavier about 9 years ago. And will be your Mentor and Math Teacher for the rest of the year", he finished. My jaw dropped down-HE was the famous Scott Summers? And he was our teacher?
"You may ask me any questions you have about the school and then will tell you more about the school. Firstly, I would like your help in arranging your desks. All my Math lessons will be conducted here but I will let you choose the formation since this is your homeroom and you will be having Science theory here with either Ms Grey or Mr LeBleau. You may choose your places but I will rearrange you if you disrupt any classes", with that, he went to the side and began moving the tables and turning them the right way up.
When we were done, the tables were arranged in 2 rows. The first row formed a wide 'V' shape and the second row outlined the first. Mr. Summers was a pretty friendly guy. He offered suggestions and helped us discuss. It was just a small job but it was our first one as a class. I discovered that everyone was quite alright and not at all like my first impressions, weeellll...maybe just a bit!
We then began bombarding him with questions and I saw him crack a slight grin at our enthusiasm. Then, a refrain from one of Mozart's pieces played over the PA system. "Alright, guys, it's time to go to the hall. Now remember, you see me every Tuesday first period in the morning, Thursday before dinner and Saturday after lunch. If I can't make it I'll tell your class rep Chris and don't forget to ask me for help if you need it!" he said whilst shepherding us to the hall.
