Chapter 9- In and Out
I walked through the hallways of my school with my holo-watch on. In high hopes that nobody remembered, heh boy was I wrong. It seemed that the whole school knew what happened! Nobody would even come near me! Except, of course, the X-Men.
I saw all the groups of kids huddled together and hugging their books close to their chest. I also noticed that many held their breath when I walked by. Then there was the jocks, I closed my eyes and prayed they wouldn't notice me as I passed by them. Again my hopes shattered, is someone out to get me!?
"Hey, Mutie Freak. I hear you're a little demon behind that mask!" The group laughed amongst themselves and I kept walking. There was a great force that pulled me closer to the face of...Duncan. I saw that his arms were around my neck collar and holding on tight.
"Ach! Guten Morgan! I didn't know you vere zpeaking to me! For vhat reazon do I owe this...pleazure?" Duncan looked confused and didn't speak for about 2 minutes, talk about sllloooooow.
"Are you making fun of me? You little piece of---" My mind kinda wandered as soon as he started talking, and I started to pick lint off of his sleeves and flicking them away. "-don't you ever make fun of me again! Got that!?" He shook me roughly and tossed me on the floor. I landed on my butt, but managed to do a flip in order to steady my posture, that and to look really cool. Duncan looked at me wide-eyed and I waved to him.
"Vouldn't *dream* of it!" I laughed and continued on my way. Before I could step into my next class the whole football team blocked the hallway. "Vhat? Should I ztay and vatch your zpecial number?" I joked, they were all lined up and all locked their arms together. Such a funny pose! Duncan came up behind me and grabbed my wrist, hard. I winced in pain and then in horror as I saw that he had managed to crush my watch. He swung me around to face him.
"This is what you are?" He laughed an evil laugh. Tears started to well up in my eyes as I heard the many shriek and shouts. "Look at you! What are you!? Not human that's for sure! You're probably not even a mutant, maybe a demon from another dimension! Hah!" The football team wavered just a bit and then I heard a familiar voice.
"Duncan! You let him go this instant!" Jean came running up to her ex and me. Duncan sneered at her and shouted.
"Baby, I'm gunna make you sorry for ever breaking up with me!" He picked my up and twisted my wrist harder and then threw me at Jean. She gasped out in surprise but managed to slow my fall. I was floating in mid air, but I hardly noticed. I looked at my wrist and saw it oddly bent, and it hurt...I tried to move it but I quickly wheezed in pain. Duncan gasped as he saw me floating and cried out.
"You're going to get suspended for sure now!" He and his football buddies ran off, knowing that Jean was obviously not afraid of using her powers. Jean frowned at them and gently lowered me down.
"Kurt, are you alright?" I looked up at her and gave a half-smile.
"Thanks to you, yes." She looked close to tears and so I decided to bring out the jokester once again. "Lesson #1 on vhat to do vhen dizcovered you're a mutant: Nefer make fun of Ballet-Dancing football players. They're extremely touchy about their performances." I finished in a deep voice. She looked at me stunned for a moment but then began to laugh.
"Com'on fuzzy let's get out of here before Principal Kelly arrives." She gave me her hand to help me up and I took it with my good hand.
"Ja, I don't need another mutant lecture today."
**~Couple o' days later~**
FINALLY!! School was out! The week went by slowly, I am guessing it had to do with the way everyone treated me. That didn't matter now it was over. I woo-hooed and threw my fist up into the air. I regretted it and held on to my healing wrist as tightly as I could.
"Smart." Muttered Rogue under her breath. I shot her a look and kept rocking my wrist. I then let go after it got numb and began to skip across the mansion's lawn heading towards the front doors. Rogue laughed and ran up to catch me. I squealed, a very manly squeal of course, hurumph, and ran faster. She jumped and caught me, I felt my balance slipping and so we both fell into the grass.
"Ow! You're sitting on my tail!" I whined, luckily we landed very gracefully and so my wrist was fine. She kept giggling and got off of me.
"Eew, I got like, a grass stain!" she kept giggling, and I smiled as I finally realized what had happened. I jumped up and pointed my finger at her.
"You touched Kitty!" I began to laugh also.
"Don't be silly fuzzy elf! Ah'm always like this!" I kept laughing, as I could tell Rogue was now just mocking Kitty. Speak of the devil, heh wrong phrase to pick...considering what I look like.
"Hey guy's what's so funny?" Kitty came up to us and gave us a weird glance. Rogue and I looked at each other trying to stop laughing, but it couldn't be done. We burst out laughing again. Kitty shook her head and walked inside the mansion. I think I heard her mutter 'School barely lets out and I already want to go back.' I wiped the tears from my eyes and managed to ask Rogue why she touched Kitty.
"Ah needed her um...help fer my last exam." She responded with a sly smile. I started up my laughter again.
"And she agreed?"
"Ah I kinda did it when she was asleep..." I closed my mouth to stop from laughing, and so I shook instead.
"I don't know vhether or not to praize you or lecture you!"
"Praise me!" she stood up and flexed her muscles "Praise me teacher!" I laughed even harder. We can all have our moments I guess.
**~~**
I was jumping up and down on my seat in the X-Jet. I said my good-byes and I was ready to fly this baby outta here! I was only waiting on my chaperone; I wondered who it could be? Probably Storm or Hank…
"Elf, get out of the seat. I'll be flying today." I groaned and turned to face Herr Logan, my chaperone.
"Vhat are you doing here? Don't you hafe a lone wolf mizzion to carry out?" Wolverine growled and I shut my mouth.
"Storm went to visit her sister and Hank has to stay with the new recruits. Charley gave me the choice of going with you or continue on Kitty's driving lessons." I gave him a grin and sat in the co-pilot seat.
"I'll be here if you get tired." I told him and wagged my tail from under me. Logan snorted and gave a short glance at my hyper tail.
"I don't get tired." He told me gruffly. I made a small noise, that I didn't even know what it was, and went to the back of the jet. I found a dark spot next to a window and heard the engine of the jet get started up. Don't worry Amanda! I'll be by your side before you can say 'Fuzzy Elf'. I thought and looked out of the window and saw everyone waving. I waved back, but I doubt they saw me.
"Elf, get me a drink!" Wolvie cried out. I sighed, would it be worth it?
