Be Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 9: School

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------On Sparrow's first day of school she woke up at 6:30 and classes didn't start until 8:30. Sparrow never woke up that early, it was kind of weird. She was really happy about starting school.

That morning we both dressed in our new clothes. Sparrow wore a very cute red and black checkered skirt and a red top, while I wore a pair of jeans and a black backless shirt. I still put on my cloak, but put I decided to not wear my gloves and I told Sparrow that she didn't need to hide her wings anymore. I figured that if we were going to be living here then everyone could just get used to how we looked.

"Skye," Sparrow asked me as I pulled her hair into pigtails after we had both gotten dressed. "Why are you still going to wear your cloak if I don't have to cover my wings?"

I paused before I replied. "Because, you still look somewhat normal. Everyone else here has a mutation that doesn't affect their appearance. I don't want to scare people with how I look." I told her truthfully.

"I don't think you look scary." She told me turning around and giving me a hug.

"Thanks Sparrow, but I always scare people." I said smiling down at her. "So, that's why I am just going to wear my cloak and not my gloves and sunglasses today."

"Good idea. People will have to just get used to how you look." Sparrow said trying to sound grown-up.

"Alright, now let me braid my hair, while you brush your teeth and then we will go get some breakfast." I said as she got up off of the bed we had been sitting on.

Sparrow and I arrived to a very chaotic kitchen an hour before classes were to start. The kitchen was full of people trying to get breakfast. Everyone seemed so happy.

I stepped into the kitchen only to jump back as two cereal bowls went floating past my face.

"Sorry!" yelled a 13 year old boy from across the kitchen.

I waved back at him and we continued on into the kitchen, but we didn't get very far before we were spotted by Kitty. She was sitting on one of the barstools behind the counter and when she saw us she got up and walked through the counter and a few other students to get to us.

"Wow." I heard Sparrow whisper. Seeing someone walk though solid objects was a lot cooler than being told about.

"Good morning," Kitty said cheerfully.

"Hello," Sparrow and I said at the same time.

"Well, we are out of… Wow, you have wings? Cool!" Kitty exclaimed, gesturing to Sparrow's brown wings. "When you said that you could fly I didn't think that you had wings. That is so cool"

Sparrow smiled shyly and said "Thanks."

"So what is there to eat for breakfast?" I asked as I put my arm around Sparrow shoulders.

"Oh, yeah. We ran out of cereal and oatmeal, because someone forgot to go to the store, even though it was his turn and we all reminded him at least ten times." She said as she glared at Pyro, who just smirked. "There are some eggs left in the refrigerator, though."

After we had eaten some scrambled eggs for breakfast, Sparrow ran back up to the room to grab her backpack and then we walked over to where her classroom was going to be. When we walked in I noticed that Storm was already sitting behind her desk reading a book and a few other kids were playing a game in the corner.

"Good morning." Storm said upon seeing us.

"Hello." I said in return as Sparrow just looked around the classroom.

"Alright, Sparrow why don't you go take a seat in that desk right there." Storm said pointing to a desk in the front of the class.

"Okay!" Sparrow chirped walking to her new seat.

Once Sparrow was seated and had put her backpack under her desk Storm turned back to me and said, "Now, the professor said that after you dropped Sparrow off that you were to go to Scott's, err Mr. Summers' classroom. He also said that you would be Scott's assistant every Monday, Mine every Tuesday, Jean's on Wednesday, his on Thursday, and it would depend on Friday."

"Hopefully I can remember all that." I told her smiling. "Oh, where is Mr. Summer's classroom?"

"This is the only floor with classrooms on it and his class is in room 4." Storm replied.

I thanked her before walking over to Sparrow. "Okay Sparrow, I am going to go, so you better be on your best behavior and listen to what your teachers say. Oh, and for lunch, just meet me in the kitchen." I told her as the bell rang and other kids started to file into the classroom.

"Alright." She said as I turned to go. "Bye Skye."

"Bye Sparrow, have fun in school." I told her as I left the room.

I walked down the hall until I found Mr. Summers' classroom. I walked in as all of the students were settling into their seats.

Living here was going to be interesting.
