"So it's like totally time for you to like apologise to like Ray 'cause he's like totally upset and worried about you" Kitty finished her delightful repartee with a final toss of her bangs.

"Erm Miss Pryde can I see you in my office please" Came the resonant voice of the great telepathy of the schools patron. Professor Charles Xavier was extremely perceptive of his students needs including that of his newest student.

The young miss Ruby was now huddled in the corner of her room against the wall during Kitty's not so furious onslaught. Of course the girl had become reclusive since that first infamous day when she had awoken.

What she had done to Ray didn't sit well with her mind, she kept seeing that angry mob when she left home only now there were all the people in the institute she had seen. Despite the fact she hadn't seen many the rest of the angry crowd was replaced by and hideous monsters her overactive imagination could create.

Kitty had come in every day trying to get Ruby to come out, get her to talk to Ray. Apparently Ray had been devastated about the effect on him that Ruby had caused but now because of her withdrawn behaviour he had developed a deep set guilt.

"But he hasn't come to see me" Ruby said steadfastly. "It's been three days. If he's so 'sorry' then he'd of come and apologised instead of getting 'her' to do his dirty work" Ruby said tiredly, looking longingly at the panpipes on the book case where they had rested since the incident.

But she wouldn't touch them, once she had come close and actually laid a hand next to them but Kitty had rushed in and shrieked so Ruby had flung herself onto her bed yet again. It was hopeless.
