devastating isn't it?
A/N: Gah! I can't believe this happened! I'm missing an ENTIRE chapter! I have to re-write the whole thing, and make it fit in between the previous chapter and the already-written-next chapter. [ :( ] So if this chapter seems a bit dull, that's because I don't exactly have the same zest.
Chapter 3-A New World
Ghost remembered that as the beginning of her life, she knew it wasn't, but she thought it was anyways. The day she was accepted and turned out at the same time, yes that was life, and she was glad to finally be able to know and experience it, no matter how hard it was on her. His words cut through her like a knife through butter.
"Well...."
She braced herself for what the kind professor would say next. She was never accepted into society, she never knew society, but why should today be any different? Why should it be different? Because these people were different, they were her kind, mutants.
"Normally we would not accept students under such...distressing circumstances, but that is exactly the reason I feel to allow you to attend my school for the...gifted." the Professor said a bit hesitantly as if searching for the most specific words to describe the situation correctly.
A sense of relief washed over her, she wasn't expecting this, no, not in the least. She opened her mouth to say something. Anything. She couldn't bring herself to talk at all at the moment, she was completely overwhelmed, she looked at the Professor. He just nodded, as if to read her thoughts.
"It's alright, I know exactly how you feel." He said calmly. That was a week ago, now she was here, in this magnificent place. She had been here awhile already, and still couldn't believe she's getting this chance at a new life.
The bell sounded through out the Institute, louder than any doorbell should be. A girl rushed outside to the gate to see who was ringing it. She was tall, blonde, and had deep emerald eyes to match.
"Hello, can I help you?" she asked as she approached the gate and the girl with the white jacket.
"Hey, I'm Lelia, Ghost here, I'm new and I uh...forgot the passcode," she answered before smacking her forehead lightly. "Oh geez! I forgot, I can phase through. Sorry, these powers are just so new to me."
"That's ok, I'm Stacey Lofton, my powers are new to me too."
"Thanks Stacey," Ghost said as the girl opened the gate for her, "Do you know where the professor is? I need to talk to him about attending school at that Bayville High."
"He's in his office upstairs I think."
"Thanks, you've got some pretty 'electrifying' powers there Stace, that's cool." Ghost remarked as Stacey gave her a strange look and was about to ask how she had known. "Sorry, that's my power, I can sense mutations."
Soon enough the two girls were in front of his office door, Stacey left Ghost to talk to him telling her that they could do something later, grab a pizza or something.
(Inside the office)
A soft knock was heard on the other side of the door. "Come in Lelia," the professor said as she entered, "Please, have a seat, I just have to finish explaining some homework to Mr. Madrox here." Ghost did as asked and waited as the professor explained about the Greeks and Trojans. After a few minutes the boy stood to leave, Ghost extended her hand.
"Hi. I'm Lelia Stone, but please. Call me Ghost."
The boy shook her hand and shyly introduced himself, "I'm uh...Jamie Madrox. It's uh...nice to meet you."
"You too Jamie, oh and watch that," she started to warn him, it was too late before she finished, "door." She tried to suppress her laughter as he multiplied. He pulled himself together and left the room.
"Now, Miss Stone, what did you wish to talk about?"
"Well I went to that school. Bayville. I was going to talk to the principal, Ms. Darkholme, but she wasn't there. And I wanted to thank you for getting me into the school, I've never atten-atten-ACHOO!" Ghost sneezed before she could finish. Her sneeze affected her powers and she fell through her chair. "Sorry, I meant to say I've never attended a real school before."
After seeing her powers backfire with a simple sneeze, Professor Xavier made a choice. "Well Miss Stone, I feel that perhaps I should school you here at the Institute, seeing as how you don't have much control over your powers. And it wouldn't be such a drastic change from the home schooling you've had over the years."
"Really Professor? That would be awesome, thank you so much."
"Really it's no trouble Lelia, now if you would excuse me I have to be in the Danger Room in a few minutes to run a session for Scott."
"Sure Professor. And thanks again." She stepped out of the office and headed down the hallway. She wondered where Stacey was, perhaps she could use her powers to find her. She never tried anything like that before, but it was worth a try. She concentrated hard on her powers and found out where every mutant in the whole household was and what their powers were.
She headed towards the kitchen where she knew Stacey was, while clutching her forehead from the dreadful headache she got from her power use.
