Alrighty…I've only gotten one review so far, sadness. Well, here is the first real chapter…and, uh…yeah. Enjoy! (And I still only own Drake…)
Drake hitched a ride to New York to find a place that she had heard of through whispers. She had heard that there was this place, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, that was actually filled with mutants. She thought it to good to be true, but she could at least check it out. The truck driver stopped about two blocks down from the school and let her out.
"Thank you very much," she said, handing him the last little bit of her money. He took it and drove off.
Drake threw on her bag and started walking. It wasn't long before she came across a huge brick wall with giant rod iron gates. She walked closer to the gates and read the sign.
This is the place, she though. Time to see if this place really is friendly to mutants.
She pushed open the gates and walked towards the main building. When she entered, the students inside stopped what they were doing and watched her. Drake felt really awkward. She hated having all the attention. She kept on walking until she saw a man with a weird looking visor thing across his eyes.
"Excuse me sir," she said quietly. "Can you tell me where I could find Professor Xavier?"
The man looked at her for a moment and smiled. "Sure, follow me please." He led her down a hall and into an emptying classroom.
"Charles, there's a girl out here that is wanting to talk to you," he said.
"Bring her in," he said rolling towards his desk in his wheelchair.
The girl came in and sat on the opposite side of the desk and looked at the old man. "Professor Xavier?" she asked.
"That is my name, and you are Drake Pierce Shelton, am I right?" he replied, not even looking at her.
"How did you know my name?"
He looked at her and placed his fore and middle fingers on his right temple. "I can read your mind. Now, as I understand things, you are looking for a place to stay."
She looked at him in wonderment. "Actually, yes I am. See, my parents freaked when I told them what I was and….my dad, he uh, kicked me out of the house."
"I understand. You don't have to worry about finding another place. You can stay here," he said as a girl about her own age walked in. The girl had some-what long brown hair with white bangs. "Rouge, will you please show out new student around?" The girl nodded and Drake stood up and followed the girl out of the room.
"Welcome to school, Drake. As the professor said, I'm Rogue," she said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you," replied Drake as she followed Rogue out to the den.
Well, there is the end of the first real chapter. A bit longer than the last one, if I do say so myself. Please review and after I have some, I'll post up the next chapter. Okies? Mwuah!
