Chazydie sat her bags on the empty bed, and looked around. It looked like the room she was in before but more decorative.
"You can put up any posters or bulletin boards you want. Its your room. I'll send someone up to get you for dinner in about an hour." The professor said before he turned around.
She nodded her head in agreement. As he closed the door she sat down on the bed, and laid back. She had to think of a way to make Katherine, or kitty as she's called here, like her.
She decided to put her things away. She started opening the drawers and looking around. There were two desks, two sinks with mirrors in the bathroom, two beds on opposite sides of the room, and two closets.
She opened her closet and there were hangers so she hung her clothes up. After she had put her clothes up, she noticed kitty's closet open so she looked in it. There were boxes and her clothes. She noticed a shoebox labeled 'old times'. She took it down and looked through it. There were pictures of kitty and herself when they were babies.
There were all kinds of letters to Chazydie from kitty and her father. She read through them one by one.
"Wow, she was looking for me too." Thought Chazydie.
She didn't want to get caught and have kitty hate her even more so she put the box back where she found it.
As she sat down on her bed, the door opened and in came a boy. He knocked lightly on the door.
"Hey, Chazydie right? I'm bobby I heard we had a new student so I came to introduce myself." He said holding his hand out for an introduction.
"Yea, um, hi. What can you do?" she asked
"I freeze things." He said blowing on a glass of water until it froze over.
"Oh, I can I guess you say fly or levitate, and I go through walls. Like my sister." She replied
"Cool," he sat on the bed, "Don't you hate being so much like kitty though?"
"No, I mean I just met her, and she hates me so I guess not. I'll probably get tired of it later on though." She looked at the floor.
He smiled at her, "Yea, kitty's pretty sensitive."
Chazydie felt herself blush, she was getting embarrassed, and he knew nothing about her. How could he say she was hurting kitty's feelings. She'd barely said two words to her.
He laughed, "I guess you're not as much like your sister as I thought you were. Huh?"
She looked at him questionably, "what are you talking about?"
"This," he held up a mirror.
Her face had gone invisible. She screamed, not out of fear but out of surprise.
Oh shit as if anything else could go wrong. She thought to herself.
"Don't worry about it, happens to people all the time around here. C'mon lets go down to dinner and meet everybody." Bobby grabbed her hand, and she blushed again only this time she didn't turn invisible.
They walked into the dining room there were people everywhere! It was a madhouse. The table was so long, there were two open seats, bobby ran over towards them, and saved them. Chazydie made her way over there, and sat down.
It quieted down as the professor wheeled himself into the room and parked at the head of the table.
"Before we begin, I would like everyone to greet our new student, Chazydie Pride, Katherine's twin sister."
Everyone stared at her and she felt herself turning invisible, but before anyone could see, bobby grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze letting her know everything was okay. She smiled back at everyone and returned to normal.
After dinner she went with bobby to the rec room. He introduced her to everyone. The coolest person she'd met so far was bobby and rouge. She figured her and rouge would be good friends.
The professor sent for Chazydie later on that night. She walked along the lonely halls hearing stereos playing in the background. she reached the professor's office a little while later.
"You wanted to see me?" She asked as she entered the room.
"Yes I wanted to talk to you about tonight. Sit. Why didn't you tell me you could go invisible?" He questioned her.
"I didn't know I could." She replied quietly.
"Oh, we'll just have to work on expanding your powers, then won't we?" he said as he wheeled around his desk and opened the door for her.
"Thank you." She said as she walked back towards her room.
"Don't forget tomorrow you will start school with the others." He yelled after her.
She nodded and when she heard the door close she tore down the hallways and up the stairs towards her room. She silently entered their room, knowing kitty was asleep already.
She sat down on her bed; slowly lifted up her sleeves, and she rubbed her sore forearms. She felt her scars, not needing to look down knowing where they were.
She went to the bathroom and turned on the hot water. She closed the door and undressed. She looked at herself in the mirror, she looked normal but she wasn't. There was something different, if you look in her eyes you could tell. She was dead. Dead to everything.
She got in the shower, and stood underneath the scorching hot water, watching her old and new scabs reopen because of the hot water. The water burned but she was used to it. Blood poured off of her arms, down her legs and making a swirling notion towards the drain.
She got out, happier than she'd gotten in; she knew she'd fit in eventually. She put on her pajamas and hopped into bed. She fell asleep instantly.
