The next morning
She woke up to the sound of someone knocking on her door. "Wake up everyone!" some guy was calling out. Sleepily she inched out of bed curios to see what was happening. She open her door enough to stick her head out. " Time for school! Everyone up!" It was the guy wearing thick lasses, Scott.
I didn't order a wake up call... I don't want to make the Professor angry for skipping school the first day.
She shut her door and made her way to the closet. Within the evening yesterday, someone had put a few more clothes in her closet. There was a note. It said "Kara, Storm and I did a little shopping and bought you some new outfits. I hope they fit, and you like them. See you downstairs for school. Dr. Jean Grey"
Wow, this was really nice of them. I hope I can repay them later.
She examined both outfits. She had a baggy looking, brownish tank top and a black short sleeved shirt that had a red X over the front of it. She also had 2 pairs of jeans, one blue, one black; and a flowing dark blue skirt, much like the one she already had except it was newer.
"I like them. Thank you, Mrs Grey," she said and put on the black jeans and black top. They fit her good. A little baggy, but she liked it that way. She didn't have any books yet so all she grabbed was her old jacket, and made her out of the room.
There were a few other students in the hallway. The tall boy that she saw running down the hallway ne time, walked over to her.
Dang it, he's so damn tall and muscle.
"Hi," he said.
Okay, really tall and Russian. (accent people..)
She nervously said, "Hi."
"Are you not Kara?" he asked. She nodded. "Nice to meet you. I'm Peter." She still a little nervous about how big he was still nodded. He chuckled. "Would you like me to help you find your class?"
"Uhm,... okay, sure I guess," Kara studdered.
She followed Peter down to the elevator and down, and to the next hallway. "Who is your first class?" he asked.
"First I go to Mrs. Ororo's history, then I go to human anatomy with Dr. Grey and then physics with the Professor and then algebra with Mr. McCoy," she read off her class list from the paper given to her by the professor.
"I will show you to your history class, it is only a few rooms from mine," he said.
"Uhmm,.. okay sure," she said.
And she followed him down the hallway and he turned and they came upon the same hallway as professor X's office. "Here it is," he said and held out his hand showing her the door. He waved and said, "I will see you later," and walked down the hall and went inside another room.
Kara was all alone in the hallway and was really nervous about going in. Then she heard a somewhat familiar noise; well it is now. She looked around and Kurt bamfed like 2 feet away from her but this time she wasn't startled. "Hey, don't you go to school?" she asked him, even though she thought it was stupid to ask cause he looked at least 20.
"I do sometimes but just to learn for fun. I guess to know things zat I never learned. I never vent to school as a child, except in ze circus," Kurt said.
"Ooh,..." Kara said and moved abut in place nervously. "What do they do for new students?" she asked him.
"Vell, usually zey just valk vright in und sit in ze back und Ms. Munroe sometimes introduces them but not alvays," he said and looked at Kara staring at the door. "You don't have to vorry. I willl walk in vith you if you vant," he offered and smiled sweetly.
Damn, why does he have to have such a sexy, irresistible smile!
"Ok, I guess so. If you don't mind," Kara said and smiled back. She put her hand on the doorknob.
"Wait," Kurt said, "would you like to go to lunch? With me?" he asked.
"Uhmmm, ok, sure. I'd like that," Kara said, smiled, and then frowned. She took a deep breath, and slowly opened the door. She hoped no one heard the door open and wouldn't notice her coming in. She wished. As she stepped into the class room, she saw that all the seats at the tables were filled up, except one, and every head was turned and facing her.
Oh, damn it. This is so weird...Why are looking at me like that?
"Good morning, Kara. Take a seat and turn in your book to page 73," Ms. Ororo said, and then turned to a kid sitting by a bunch of bookshelves, "Jubilee, please find her a book." The small girl got up, and looked around the shelf for a text book.
Kara hesitated at the door, but Kurt, with his arm nudged her foward, reminding her to go and sit down. She turned her head and looked at him. He started to smile. Kara nervously smiled back, and turned to the class. She slowly walked to the empty seat in the back and sat down. The girl know as Jubilee gave her a book, halfway smiled and returned to her seat.
Ms. Ororo continues to teach something about the ancient Romans or something. Kara didn't know she was in her own world, studying the people around her. The girl next to her said, "Hey," but Kara didn't hear. So the girl touched her elbow, which startled Kara. "Hey, I'm Kitty. Aren't you Kara?"
Kara felt like she was mute and couldn't get out words. Finally she said, "Yeah."
"So, you hang out with Nightcrawler?" Kitty asked.
"Huh?" Kara asked sorta misinterpreting the question.
"Are you two friends?"
"Oh, uhmm, well, I guess. He's really nice. And he saved me. That's how I got here," Kara said.
"That's pretty cool," Kitty said.
Then the girl Kara had seen in the hall before, the girl with the white stripe in her hair, turned around and said, "Yeah, but no one ever sees him 'round anywhere," the girl said. "He kinda creeps me out, but he saved me one time too."
Wow, well I guess he's a regular hero.
Kara was tying to remember her name but lost her mind and totally forgot. "I'm Rogue," the girl said.
Well, that answers the forgotten name.
"Kara," Kara said, "Nice to meet you."
"I know," Rogue said.
"Everyone knows," Kitty chipped in. "That night they came back with you, everyone was up because of the jet's noise,"
"An, some of us were curious so some went down an checked it out," Rogue said.
"And when we went down there we asked the Professor and he told us. And then we told everyone else. Soooo.. yeah now everyone knows your name," Kitty finished.
Gee...thats so wonderful... rolls her eyes
"Well, what are,..." Kara started to say but Ms. Ororo turned from the chalkboard and said, "Girls. Stop talking," and she went back to her lesson.
"What class do you have next?" whispered Kitty.
"Dr. Grey's class," Kara whispered back.
"Me too, we can walk there together. Talk to you after class," Kitty said, then turned her attention to the chalkboard.
After class
Ororo just dismissed the class. Kara gathered her things, and turned to walk out, as she talked to Kitty. "Kitty," Ms. Ororo said. Kitty and Kara turned around. "May I speak to Kara?"
Kitty looked at Kara. Kara said, "i'll be out in a minute," so Kitty turned and left.
"So, Kara. Are you getting to know people?" Ms. Ororo asked.
"Well,... kinda," Kara replied.
"Well I hope they're being nice. Aren't they?" she asked.
"Yeah I guess," Kara said.
Yeah they'll be nice till they see what I really look like. Then they'll be scared of me like they are of Kurt.
"Good. Is there anything you need help with from today's lesson?"
"No, ma'am, I'm good," Kara said, and made her way to the door. "Thanks Ms. Munroe." And she walked out the hall.
Kitty was still standing there. "What took so long?"
"She just wanted to make sure I understood the lesson, thats all," Kara replied.
"Okay, lets go. We'll be late for class."
After they walked the hallway a little, went down some stairs and walked a little more, they came to a classroom and Kitty stopped. "Ok, just to warn you, Dr. Grey is psycic, if you didn't already know, and she uses it on a daily basis. So don't try to lie or anything cause we always get caught," Kitty said with a halfway serious face. This made Kara laugh. "What?" Kitty asked. "What? I'm serious!"
"Yeah, Its just your face. It looks funny when you're all serious," Kara said, still giggling.
They both giggled for a second and stopped. "We're about to be late," Kitty said. And she opened the door, and walked in. Kara still stood there, but was better at the having courage enough to walk in so she pushed open the door again and walked inside.
At lunch
It was time to eat lunch and every student was sitting in either the kitchen, the rec room, or outside on a lawn table. Kara had really been looking forward to lunch with Kurt. She stood in the kitchen looking out the window. There wasn't anyone in the kitchen now. They had already finished eating and went outside.
She turned around to walk in the hall and Kurt bamfed right in front of her and she ran into him. She laughed, "Sorry," she laughed and smiled. She felt better now. She met some new people and he was there.
He looked into her face and smiled, "Your smile is beautiful," he said. "You need to smile more," he was talking about she didn't smile much. She started to feel self conscious. He grabbed her hand and took her to a chair, "Here, I'll fix lunch." He bamfed from there to the fridge and then to a cabinet and then back to the fridge and back to Kara. He had a pack of ham, some peanut butter, ketchup and bread in his hand.
That was fast.
"How do you like your sanvich?" he asked with a sheepish smile. And he put the stuff on the kitchen bar, for a make-your-own-sandwhich buffet.
"Wow, well, uhmm, ham and cheese would be fine," Kara said. He forgot the cheese but quickly bamfed over and back within 10 seconds with cheddar cheese in his hand.
They made each a sandwhich and started to eat. After a minute, Kara said, "Kurt, do people like you here?"
He swallowed the sandwich in his mouth and said, "Vell, I don't know,... I guess so but I think most people are scared of how I look. Vhy, vhy did you ask?" he asked.
Kara swung her feet under the bar and started to say something, but turned to the door because she heard someone. Kurt touched her hand and had a face that said tell me, it doesn't matter. Kara said, "Well, two girls in my class were talking and said they don't ever see you and you kinda creep them out," she said and looked at him a little sad-like.
"Vell, zere's no suprise in vhy they're scared of me," he said. and stared at his 3 fingered hand.
Kara took his hand in hers, "You don't scare me. No of course not, because I scare myself more than you scare me," She paused, "I still think you've a beautiful soul." She smiled.
He smiled too. It seems to be hard for him to from when she smiles. "No, you're beautiful. More than me," he took his tail and wrapped it around Kara's waist. She blushed.
Does he really like me the way I like him. I really like him. I think I may love him.
"Kurt,..." she said, "I... I love you." she paused and looked at him. He sat there, his tail still hugged her waist. "I loved you since I met you, but I was scared you don''t love me back... I know this is a little weird but I just want to let you know. I,..." she turned and looked at him and he put his first finger over her lips.
He looked at her lovingly, "Its okay,... its okay. Kara, I love you too. The day I found you, vhen I carried you to our jet, in the medical room; I loved you. But I thought you would hate me because I looked different all ze time und you could choose vhen you needed to use your wings. I do love you. I do," he moved and sat in the same stool she did, and they sat there cuddling for a while. It was time to go back to class.
They stood up and he hugged her. When he hugged her he bamfed them to the school hallway and Kara let go. "I love you, Kurt," she wanted to kiss him, but something deep inside her instincts said not to. Since she's a person who always follows her instincts, she didn't.
He said, "I love you too..." and he put his hand softly on her check and bamfed himself away, leaving her there.
Kurt... I love you.. And I always will. I hope will always love me. I never have had anyone love me this much before. Sometime later I'm sire Xavier would want me to be an X-Man. I kinda want to be one now, so I can be with Kurt more. I don't know.
Ok, I'm late, I need to go. Don't want that Professor mad at me for being late.
