Kurt glanced at the girls he was responsible for. Annabelle and Gilly were trying to adjust to school, even though neither of them had ever attended a normal school. Kristen however, seemed to want nothing to do with her classmates or any of her classes.
"Kristen, please, can't you give this a try?" Kristen shook her head and tried to curl up in the bottom of her locker. Gilly just rolled her eyes and started whispering to Annabelle about some guy she'd seen in one of her classes.
"So what'd he look like?" Annabelle asked not paying much attention to her schedule which was now singed around the edges.
"Blond hair, sorta longish," Gilly said softly as Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Gilly, can you get your sister to knock it off. I think she's scared." Gilly looked over at Kristen.
"C'mon kid, you want to give us Thorne Girls a bad name?" Gilly mewed soflty causing Kristen to look up at her sister.
"I just wanna go home. There's too many people," Kristen mewed back so softly Kurt couldn't even understand her.
"Hey, Kurt, is that my next class?" Annabelle interrupted pointing to a class room across the hall. After a quick glance at Annabelle's schedule Kurt nodded.
"You can go on ahead if you want Annabelle."
"Kay, I'll see you later Gilly!" Gilly waved looking up from her sister.
"Kurt, she can't handle this. She's never been around people like this before," Gilly explained softly. Kurt looked at Gilly and then at Kristen who was trying to hide in the locker.
"I'll call Jean or Scott and have one of them come get her. Will that work?" Gilly nodded and Kurt pulled out his cell phone and dialed the mansion's number.
"Hello? Ororo? Is Jean or Scott there? Yeah, Jean, look, one of the Thorne Academy girls can't handle the school setting. Kristen Gardener. Yes, Okay, I'll be waiting with her by the front door. Thank you." Gilly looked at Kurt, her cat like ears twitching beneath the hologram.
"Jean's on her way. Can you convince Kristen to at least come wait by the door with me?" Gilly nodded and mewed at Kristen, who stood up slowly and followed Kurt towards the front of the school. Gilly then looked at her schedule and hurried off to her class easily remembering the layout of the school from what Kurt had told her earlier.
