Chapter 24

That Feeling...

Waking up? Well, it was never Bobby's stronger point. He normally had John throwing something at him to make sure he was up. John wasn't going to let someone else skip class if he couldn't. But he wasn't there to do that now...

Bobby got dressed, grabbed his backpack, and left for his first class. He didn't both to comb his hair or anything like that because what was the use?

When he made it to his first class... everything was the same. The same people clowning around, the same people studying, the same people sleeping. It was... nice.

Bobby sat down in his seat and looked over to the one his left. John's seat...

"Crap," Bobby said out loud, grabbing his head. "Quit thinking about it..."

"About what?" Said someone in front of him and Bobby just shrugged.

"Good Morning class," said a voice from the back. Professor Xavier.

He wheeled in to the front of the class and behind his desk and grabbed his large text book.

"Turn to page 265," he told them and the class did so.

On that page was a double-helix strand of DNA. It looked kind of boring...

"Evolution," Professor Xavier spoke out loud. "I am sure most of you know what this is."

The class laughed. Evolution was the start of all of these people's problems with humanity.

After that the class was silent... there was something missing.

The entire class waited for someone to comment... someone to have something sarcastic to say. The whole class was uncomfortable. That someone was supposed to be sitting to John's left.

It was like at Thanksgiving time for Bobby this past year. After thanksgiving dinner with his Dad's close family, his Aunt Mary would always tell them to go into the Dining room and she played the piano and his family would sit around and sing songs. It was Bobby favorite part. But... two years ago Aunt Mary died of breast cancer. When Thanksgiving dinner was over his entire family moved into the dining room... but his Aunt wasn't there to play the piano. The room was quiet... completely quiet. Except for the tears of his mom and others...

This was that feeling all over again...

"... thus this would help ensure that no mutant will be capable of crimes that they will not be identified for. So please vote yes for the MRA." Said a political speaker in front of a huge audience in Washington. A large applause followed his walking off of the stage.

Men in black suits followed close behind them man.

"You think it will be passed?" Asked one of them.

"I'll make sure of it," replied the political speaker.
