"Keep walking, Bobby. I don't think this is the right room," Cayte ordered. Bobby nodded and kept walking, the doze or so books he was carrying not slowing him down a bit. Cayte had already made Bobby carry all her books and buy her lunch. She hadn't meant to use her power on Bobby like that. In fact, she'd only made a suggestion. Her power usually only worked with a direct order.
"I'm so sorry, Bobby," she whispered softly as they reached her classroom and she took her books. As soon as Bobby had been ordered to leave, he hadn't seemed able to do so on his own free will, Cayte pulled out her cell phone, all the Thorne Academy girls had cell phones. Looking at the number written on the palm of her hand she dialed the phone number for the Institute.
"Hello, Xavier Institute, Scott Summers speaking."
"Scott? This is Cayte Carter, from the Thorne Academy?"
"The one with voice control right?"
"Um, yeah, well, um I've got a problem. See, I used my power on Bobby this morning and now he's doing everything I say, even when I'm not giving him a direct order," Cayte explained biting her lip as she waited for Scott to yell at her or something for misusing her power, even though she hadn't meant for this to happen.
"Okay, stay calm, Cayte. I'll talk to Professor Xavier and we'll work this out, until then, don't talk to Bobby, or anyone else for that matter. I'll call Bobby and have it arranged for you to be taken home in a different car."
"Alright, and you might wanna talk to Ms. Thorne too, since she knows my power better then your Professor," Cayte said softly as she hung up the phone and slunk into her seat wishing her power was invisibility instead of voice control.
