Madison sat at the table and still kept her eyes down, watching her hands nervously messing with her fingers. "Madison," she heard her named called. She looked up to Kurt. He was looking at her and smiling softly. Kurt held out his hand for her to hold. She hesitated at it, then finally took his hand and held it firm. "Madison, I'd like you to meet my... family." he said with a soft voice. He smiled at her. She nervously smiled back.

Uhhh... yay?

"Madison." she looked up. It was the bald man at the other end of the table. "Madison, I am Professor Charles Xavier." the man said with a smile and a look in his eyes that made you want to shut the curtains to your brain.

What is he looking at? Its like he can see right through me! AH!

Madison smiled a little bit and slightly nodded her head. Professor Xavier continued, "This is Ororo Munroe," he said motioning toward the white-haired lady who smiled.

Ororo..? Pretty name... uniqueness..

"And this is Scott Summers and Jean Grey," he said motioning to the other side of the table at the man with the glasses and the other lady.
Madison smiled and nodded again and quietly said, "Hi."
"We are school teachers," the lady known as Ororo Munroe said.

Teachers?... joy... teachers OUTSIDE of school...

"Ya'll are teachers? Where do ya teacher at?" Madison asked in pretend interest.
"They teach at my institute for the gifted," Xavier said.

Woo-hoo... ya wanna prize?

"It's where several special students can further their learning," the lady known as Jean said.
Madison didn't say anything, just glanced from Kurt, and to every person at the table and back.
"It's a very nice boarding school." Scott said. "Lots of room, a large yard, plenty of instructors..."

Wow, looks like Mr. No-Talk decided to say something today... seriously... why are they giving me a tour of their school when I DON'T care!

"So ya'll live in some big ol' boarding school... where?" Madison asked.

I would hate to have to live MY teachers... wait one darned second! Why the hell is Kurt going to my school if he lives at a boarding school!

"In Manchester County. Kurt wanted to go to a public school, I let him choose where. He chose the one you now attend." Xavier replied, slightly raising an eyebrow. Madison had a shocked and rather scared look on her face.

Oh my god... What the hell just happened! Did he like... No way! Couldn't have happened! I know there are mutants out there, but surely... nah... Why the heck am I thinking of all this flippin' shit! Its all in my head... it all in my head...

She struggled with her thoughts for a minute, then managed to say, "Oh,.. uhh,... well he sure chose a place a good far away from where yall live."
"We've managed very well with it." Jean said with a smile that said 'I-know-something-you-don't' all over it.

OMFG! What is ya'll's deal! Is this what Kurt's been keeping from me? That his 'family' is a bunch of freaks! Why the hell did I get myself in this mess!

The table began to lightly shake. No one seemed to notice... or they just ignored it. Then she felt someone take her arm. She looked up Kurt had hooked his arm with hers. "Are you alright?" he asked, but somewhat seemed to know that she was going back and forth through her thoughts.

STOP!

It was still. Her mind seemed to clear. "Uhhh... yeah," she shook her, "Yeah... I'm fine. Just... a little headache.." Kurt smiled and she smiled back. The others talked amongst themselves. "Kurt," she said softly. He looked at her face giving her his full attention. "What exactly is it like living with a bunch of other people. Are they all smart? Is it like a prep school?"
"Vell, yes. It is rather... interesting, living in ze boarding school. It is not necessarily all smart people, but people vith special talents," he said with a small smile.

Hmmm,... you'd think they'd all be as smart as he is for such a school.

She looked at him with wondering eyes. He smiled a little bigger. She was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Professor Xavier.
"Madison, please, I would like to know something." he said he still had a look on his face that made you want to run and hide.
"Okay..." Madison replied with a small shaking in her voice.
"Madison, can you please tell me about your strange dreams you have had recently. The ones that are so repetitive." he said. Again Madison had an extremely shocked face. She looked over at Kurt who had a completely innocent and clueless face. He shrugged his shoulders.

Where the hell did he get that from! I haven't told anyone about them except Lee...I don't think Kurt would have told about them because he promised me he wouldn't tell anyone... oh god! I'm so outta here!

She quickly stood up from her chair. "Where the hell did you hear that!" she said a little too loud; some people looked at her from the other tables with disgust, then went back to their eating. The glasses on the table were shaking enough to make faint clinking noises.
"Madison. Calm down. Kurt one time mentioned about them. I work with people and help them solve problems within their minds. I can help you find the meaning to your dreams." he said and a calm voice.
Madison turned her head to Kurt and somewhat glared at him, then she just stood there looking down, but was quiet. Seeming she was thinking.

Ok but still, I didn't tell Kurt THAT much about them. Just that I had a few weird dreams that had no meaning. So what!

"So you could see the Professor for therapy sessions, we discussed, that it would be alright for you to come to the boarding school for the rest of your high school. It was something,... Kurt requested." Ororo had said she had a concerned smile on her face yet, it was gentle.

Yeah,.. my mom would NEVER be able to pay for anything like this... she would never let me go that far from home...

She still stood at her seat looking a little more calmed but still freaked out. Professor Xavier continued, "Your parents will not have to worry about any costs or anything. I run a scholarship providing school. There is no need to have financial worries. And if your mother doesn't allow you, I believe I will be able to talk her into it." he said with a very buisness-y looking face. Madison's mouth dropped open and her eyes widened, then after seeming to realize something, her eyes narrowed.

Oh, holy mother of god! These people are some of those damn mutants!

"No... hell no. I'm not going to your little freak school. Isn't that what you are! Get out of my head!" Madison said and took a step backwards, she ran into her chair and almost falling to the floor, but the chair seemed to catch itself and sit upright again. Not many other people noticed her. She jumped out of the chair, pausing to look at Kurt. She had a sad, longing for his friendship but wasn't too thrilled he lived with people she thought were mutants.

I wonder if he's one of them too...

She looked up and quickly headed outside of the restaurant.
