Chapter 6
Memories Resurfaced
"Ow."
I was lying on the floor with my blanket wrapped around my body
and my hair all over the place with my pillow under my butt and my
other pillow lying on the floor next to my head.
I shivered. It
was the same nightmare I'd been having for a while now. I stood up
and fell down again. The blanket had twisted its way around my legs
leaving me wrapped up like a mummy.
I untangled myself and stood
up. Six thirty. I yawned and stretched my arms. I walked to my
wardrobe to change and found myself staring at some new clothes. My
old clothes were gone.
I grabbed a pair of jeans and a tan tank
top and slipped into them. There was a knock on my door.
"Come
in!" I said grabbing a brown jacket off a hanger.
Rogue walked
into my room. "Nice outfit," she commented. "I see you found
the clothes. Jean and Kitty bought them yesterday. Anyway, the prof
said that you start school today. Exciting, huh?" she added
sarcastically.
I giggled. "Come on, let's go get some
breakfast before Kurt eats it all," Rogue said smirking.
I stood outside my locker at Bayville High. I felt so alone. People ignored me and walked straight into me and shoved me aside. I opened my locker.
"Terra! Yo Terra!"
I looked away from
my locker and grinned as my friends moved towards me laughing.
"Hey
guys!" I said excitedly. "Ready for the big dance tomorrow
night?" I asked.
"Yeah! Are you going to wear that…"
"Hey, you're the new kid right?"
I stood back
so I could see the tall and burly blonde football player leaning
against the locker next to mine. I took another step back and backed
into another burly football player.
"Yeah," I said
confidently. "What's it to you?"
"So you're one of
those mutant freaks living in that freaky manor, huh?"
I glared
at him. "No," I said raising an eyebrow at him. "I'm living
in a manor filled with gifted people."
One of the football
guys, there were about five surrounding me, shoved me against my
locker. I gave a grunt of pain as I hit the lockers and sank to the
floor.
"Wow! The dance committee did such a good job
with the decorations," I gushed to my date as he led me into the
beautifully decorated gym.
I felt like a princess in my pale blue
cocktail dress with my friends all dressed up and our dates in
semi-formal clothes and the beautiful gym with blue and white
balloons littering the floor.
"How immature," one of my
friends snorted as her date ran off to pop balloons.
In a flash,
all our dates were on the dance floor popping balloons.
"Why
did we come with them?" I groaned heading to the punch bowl with my
best friend.
"Because they're cute," she replied handing me
two paper cups. I filled them with punch.
"Ick, cheap punch,"
she added after taking a sip.
I giggled and place my cup back
onto the table. "Come on; let's see if we can get a dance with
the guys."
We walked to the dance floor and attempted to dance
with our dates. We failed miserably.
"Would you guys just dance
with us?" I finally screamed.
Suddenly, an earthquake rumbled
and the floor beneath me opened. Then I heard my scream echoing as I
fell into the abyss.
"Terra? Are you OK?"
I
blinked and found myself lying on mattress with a spring digging into
my spine.
"Where am I?" I whispered groggily.
"You
blacked out."
I sat up and saw Rogue and the Professor beside
me. "Huh?"
"Duncan Matthews was just being an idiot. He
thinks he's so cool because he picks on us mutants. Anyway, they
said they shoved you against your locker and you passed out. Are you
OK?"
I looked up at Rogue and opened my mouth, but no sound
came out.
"I think she just needs some rest," Xavier said.
"We should take her back to the mansion immediately. I'll have
Logan take you back, OK Terra?"
I nodded and then fell asleep
again.
Author's Note: OK, I know everyone wants Kurt. He will be in later chapters. Later, later chapters. Like, I've written him into chapter 13 and 14, OK?
