Chapter Three: Getting to Class
"So, what's our first subject?" Colossus asked, closing the door of the principal's office as he looked down at his copy of their schedule. The three started walking down the hallway, looking at their schedules. Colossus looked up into the practically empty corridor.
"Where is everyone?" he questioned then looked at his watch. "Class doesn't start until 8:30 and it's only 8:20..." Pyro and Gambit only shrugged their shoulders.
"Anyway, our first subject's Biology..." Gambit started. "Wait, don't we need a book for that subject?" He glanced back down at his schedule. "We need one for English too! And Math...And History!" he continued.
"Where's the bookstore then?" Pyro asked, looking around.
The young Acolytes suddenly noticed the whispers sounding from behind them. Slowly, they turned around and were met by...no one.
Piotr raised an eyebrow, "Hello?"
Silence.
The three teenagers reluctantly turned around then continued on their way.
After a few more seconds, the whispers were heard again. The three whisked around.
Still no one. They turned around and the whispers resumed.
Pyro gulped. "Gambit...?" He squeaked, inching closer to him. "I'm afraid."
"Remy is too, Pyro," Gambit said. The two then proceeded to stick to Colossus, who seemed unfazed.
"On the count of three," Piotr whispered to the two behind him, low enough so only the three of them could hear. Before the message could register into the duo's brains, -
"THREE!"
And Piotr bolted down the hallway.
"Traitor!" Gambit shouted then sped off as well.
Confused and terrified, Pyro glanced at the retreating figures of his comrades then looked back to the empty space. He heard several whispers. Fear enveloped him once again and he dashed towards the second floor, out-running Gambit and Colossus.
Looking back, Gambit saw that there was suddenly a mob of females running after them, his eyes widened and he quickened his pace.
Colossus looked back as well, his eyes widening, then shouted, "Hey! Don't leave me here!"
~*~
Still speeding down the hallway, Pyro saw a several people getting their books from their lockers. He smirked then grabbed a familiar mutant's books as he passed him by.
"HEY!!" The boy with shoulder-length brown hair barked. "Give those back, you klepto!"
Pyro glanced back, grinning, just long enough to say, "I'll give them back at break!" Then continued running to his first class. The brown-haired boy ran after him and was met by the door. Since it wasn't his class, he had to settle for screaming at him through the door.
Seeing this, Gambit smirked then snatched a random kid's books as well, already used to this kind of thing, and followed Pyro into their classroom.
"Give those back!" The boy with shades shouted and promptly did the same as the other boy.
Following his fellow teammates' footsteps, Colossus stopped behind a blue-haired boy who was getting his books from his locker.
He tapped him on his shoulder then asked, "Can I borrow your books?"
The shocked expression on the boy's face explained that he was unable to answer. Piotr shrugged and grabbed his books anyway then ran towards Biology.
Snapping out of his trance, the boy called out, "Hey! I need those!"
Halting behind the two yelling teenagers, Colossus cleared his throat. The two turned, laughed nervously, then slowly moved aside. Piotr smirked then entered the room.
The two boys reluctantly went back to close their lockers, still fuming.
A mob of girls suddenly came to a halt in front of the three.
"Have any of you seen three hott guys run by?" A girl asked them.
~*~*~*~*~
"Ah...You're just on time," a middle-aged woman said from the front of the room. "Take your seats," she said to them indicating an empty table at the back.
The three walked to the unoccupied table, being met by blown kisses from the female population of the class (which Pyro and Gambit gladly returned with winks), glares from either the girls' boyfriends or from their fellow mutants who were, unfortunately for them, in the same class - namely, Jean, Kitty, Wanda, and Rogue.
Once they sat down at the table, the teacher spoke again. "Good morning class. For the new students, my name is Miss Rodriguez [1]. Now, if you would, kindly introduce yourselves." The whole class turned in their seats to look at them.
Liking the attention, Gambit stood up and introduced himself. "Bonjour," he started. Several of the human girls swooned whilst the mutant ones rolled their eyes. "My name is Remy LeBeau and I look forward to my classes with all of you," he said, winking to his newly acquired fans then sitting down.
Colossus then stood up, (A/N: I don't know Russian...-_-;;) "Hello, my name is Piotr Rasputin," he simply said then sat back down. A third of the female population sighed dreamily. (A/N: I'm not a fan of Colossus but I didn't want him to be or feel left out. ^^;)
A hand suddenly shot up into the air.
"Yes?" Ms. Rodriguez asked.
"Can I ask Piotr a question?" She asked in her high giddy voice.
The teacher sighed. "Why not. You may get to know him better that way."
"Are you single?" the girl asked again, giggling.
Piotr simply nodded and smiled. Several whispers went around the room as the girls talked about the new students.
"Anyway, back to the introductions," Ms. Rodriguez said, turning to Pyro, who seemed to be quite preoccupied at the moment. Apparently, John didn't notice.
"John!" Gambit hissed. Pyro looked up from playing with the Bunsen Burners then grinned. "Oops. Sorry 'bout that." He stood up. "Hi. My name is John Allerdyce and-" He ran a hand through his hair, "I'm single," [2] he finished while grinning. The last third of the female population drooled in their seats. Jean sighed exasperatedly while the other three just rolled their eyes again.
"Thank you for that...interesting piece of information, Mister Allerdyce," Ms. Rodriguez said wearily. "If you would kindly take your seat, we'll start with our new lesson."
Pyro's hand shot up in the air.
"Yes, mister Allerdyce?"
"Will the experiment we'll conduct happen to need fire?" He asked with a hopeful look. The 4 female mutants in the room vigorously shook their heads.
"Why, yes, we will," the teacher replied, failing to notice the pleading looks on her other students' faces.
Pyro grinned and happily sat down, resuming his position in front of the Bunsen Burner. He nonchalantly flicked it on then watched the flame with great interest.
Rogue's face fell. "Lord, help us."

[1] - Couldn't think of any other name. ^^;;
[2] - I like the thought of a vain Pyro. ^_^
I updated! I updated! Actually, this chapter was supposed to be all the way up to the end of Biology but I realized it'll take me too long so I cut it short. ^^
By the way, sorry if it was kinda lame...v_v
Review please!!!
