Dinner and a Meeting
Anna had unpacked and talked with Jubilee for the rest of the afternoon. Even though Jubilee did most of the talking, Anna was having a good time. This was such a normal thing to do, and she desperately wanted to be normal. They talked about movies, music, t.v., boys, and shopping. Just two normal teenage girls hanging out. Anna couldn't be any happier.
"I forgot how bland these rooms were. We really should redecorate in here, you know, make it more you like my room's more me. Wanna see it? My room that is," Jubilee said jumping off the bed and heading towards the bathroom door.
"Sure," Anna replied following her. Jubilee's room was bright. That was the best word Anna could think of to describe it. Bright and colorful, definately Jubilee. The bedspread was neon pink, the pillows were orange, and the curtains were purple. It looked like rainbow exploded in there. There were also posters covering almost every inch of wall space.
"See! It's totally me! What d'ya think?"
"It's definately you."
"Yeah it is huh? Well we should head down for dinner,"
"Does everyone eat together?"
"The students do, but only two teachers eat with us. They rotate which two every week, this week we've got Storm and wolverine,"
"So what kind of foo do they have?"
"Oh lot's of different stuff. It's like a buffet, and there's usually a line, that's why you should try and get there early or else there's not much food left,"
When they got to the dining hall there was already a line of about a dozen students. There was lots of food. Anna served herself some mashed potatoes, gravy, fried chicken, and rolls. She couldn't remember the last time she had eaten this good. Jubilee just filled her plate with spagetti and meatballs. They sat at a table in the back corner so Jubilee could point out people and tell Anna about them.
"Who are those two guys sitting over there? They've been staring at us since we got here," Anna questioned.
"Oh that's Remy and Bobby. They're the ones who came by earlier,"
"No wonder why they're staring," Anna sighed, now she regretted letting Jubilee tell them that story.
"The tall ones kind of cute,"
"That's Remy LeBeau, total player. All the girls are just head over heels for him. He thinks he's so charming, and he's got an ego the size of this room. He was dating this girl Sarah for a while, until he met this girl Emily from town, then he dumped Sarah and started seeing Emily. Sarah was so upset she moved back home, and then Remy got tired of that Emily chick and dumped her too, talk about drama,"
"That's just crazy. So what's his friends story?"
"That's Bobby Drake. He's so immature, he's always playing pranks on people. The pranks are actually kind of funny, but he's still a child,"
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Yeah it's six-thirty, why?"
"I have to meet with Professor Xavier at seven,"
"You better leave soon you don't want to be late,"
Anna hurried and finished eating, then she headed to Professor Xaviers office. When she reached his office she composed herself and raised her hand to knock when the door swung open.
"Come in Anna," she walked in and sat down in a chair in fron of his desk.
"I'm glad you decided to stay with us, Anna. I reaaly think living here can help you more than our monthly sessions were. Even more so I think we can help you to have a relatively normal life. You will start classes tommorrow, and danger room sessions the next day,"
"Professor, do you really think the X-Men can forgive me for what happened to Ms. Marvel?"
"What happened to Carol Danvers was most unfortunate, but dwelling on wiil not change what happened. You have changed a lot since that happened Anna, and seeing that will help the X-Men to forgive you,"
"I'm nervous though. I know I've changed, and what I did was wrong and a mistake. I'm not that person anymore, but that doesn't change what I did,"
"Neither does staying angry and the X-Men know that. You're not the Rogue anymore, and you dont have to be,"
