Ch 4, holy crap, I'm on task for once in my whole life. Thanks for the reviews and suggestions. I don't own anything, so don't sue me. Keep reviewing; it makes me write faster :)
Scott decided to get used to his new room until dinner time came around. He slowly walked around the room feeling every object carefully. He was mentally figuring out what each thing was and where they were located in the room. He kept this up for a good 10 minutes until there was a knock on his door, he yelled out, "come on in."
A person opened the door and walked in, it was a woman, he could tell by her slightly quieter footsteps.
"Can I help you?" He asked her.
"I just wanted to see how you were settling in." "By the way I'm Amara."
Wow, this girl talked a hundred words a minute. He thought to himself.
"Nice to meet you Amara, I'm Scott."
"The word is going around that you're our newest permanent resident." She ducked her head, so he wouldn't see her blushing.
She thought it was odd that he was wearing those dark shades inside. Also the fact that he wasn't looking directly at her, but slightly off to her side, was rather odd.
Other than that, he was kind' a cute, in a punkish kind of way.
"So, Amara, could you point me in the right direction of the kitchen? I'm kind' a lost, this place is huge." Scott asked, he was tired of the uncomfortable silence that only left the two of them to their own thoughts.
"Sure, no prob." She grinned, "Take a left at the end of the hall, and then go straight, you should wind up at the staircase, and then go down, all you have to do is follow the yelling, that's how I did it when I first got here."
"Reassuring." He said with a lopsided smile.
Amara walked out of the room, and Scott followed suit a few minutes after she left.
He tried to follow the confusing instructions that he picked up from that girl's continuous chattering, but it was hard to remember what was important and what was not out of their conversation, which was mostly one sided, hers.
Scott was close to his final destination, after about 7 minutes of searching, he heard voices of other teenagers coming from a room that had to be the kitchen area.
He was right, he ran his hand along the wall so he could find the doorway. When he did, he entered. There was a lot of loud talking/yelling going on, but it suddenly died down as he entered the room.
Ororo got up out of her chair, and walked over to the boy, and placed her hand on his shoulder, she told all the students, "Every one, this is Scott, our newest student."
A round of hi's, hello's, and welcomes coursed around the room, temporarily startling the newest student.
Ororo felt the boy tense up, and remembered what the professor said about not startling or making any fast movements in front of Scott. She almost forgot to tell the students that their newest member as "handicapped."
"Ororo whispered in Scott's ear, "Would you like to tell them, or do you want me to?"
"You can do it." Scott told her.
She then realized how embarrassing this must be for the boy.
Some of the teens had began talking amongst themselves once again, so Ororo had to call for their attention again.
"Your attention please." She announced, "I would like you to not talk so loudly, because Scott is, well handicapped."
This got the students attention.
"Scott is blind, so his other senses are stronger, that means that if you are yelling or playing loud music around him, it is actually much, much louder to him.
Scot felt himself begin to blush, but quickly ducked his head and began fiddling with his cane to hide it. He didn't like to express his emotions openly.
A silence came over the room, complete silence.
Ororo tried to crack a joke(which she IS NOT good at). "I didn't mean this quiet."
A few of the students groaned at the corny remark.
Ororo then led Scott over to a vacant seat in the middle of the table.
Dinner got underway, and things got slightly more normal(If that is possible at this school). The thing that was getting on Scott's nerves the most was everyone was acting all egg-shelly around him, like he could break with a single touch or whatever. This was really starting to piss him off, but he kept his poker face.
Rogue was the only one who actually noticed the boy's annoyance, because she usually masked her feelings as well.
After dinner was finished, the students retired to the rec. room to watch another movie, since it was still the weekend, and they didn't have to go to school the next day. Scott
Also went to listen to the movie, even though it was rather hard to understand, because he couldn't see the actual action tacking place. He tried to follow along with the story, but soon became confused and gave up. Instead, he tried to recall everyone's names he had met.
Lets see, he thought to himself. There is Jean, from the diner, Kitty her very hyper friend, Amara that girl who talked too much, Logan, who he had met a few weeks ago, Ororo, who he had met a few weeks ago as well, The professor, who he had met a few months ago, Rogue, who he had not really met yet, but heard her name from someone, Bobby, who just spilled soda all over Kitty, and Kurt, who is German, he could tell by his accent.
That is about it. But he knew there were more, he just hadn't met them yet.
Ok, thats it for this chapter. Please REVIEW. I will explain about the limp and scar in the next chapter hopefully, but they are not what you expected them to be.
