That evening, Madison waited for her mom to leave for work and for Kurt to arrive. It had been a very cold evening. She wore a dark blue long sleeved shirt, layered with a loose black tank top and she wore a pair of black sweatpants. When she heard the doorbell ring, she was in her room and called out "Come on in! I'll be there in a sec!"

She walked into the living room and Kurt sat on the couch. She sat herself onto the chair across from the couch. They both seemed to feel too awkward to say anything. Uncomfortable with the silence, Kurt picked up a library book they used for the project, from the table and began to read.

Madison couldn't think straight. She started talking, trying to keep the silence from overwhelming her. "Kurt, why does that professer of yours think I'm a mutant?" she asked uneasily.
Kurt put the book down on the table and said, "I am not sure. He has a machine called Cerebro. Using cerebro, he can find mutants. He found you. Zat is mainly vhy I came to zis school... to get you to come back vith me." he said and looked into her eyes.She looked back into his eyes but looked away. "I'm not a mutant! I have no powers. I don't look any different than anyone else! I 'm NOT a mutant!" she said and stood up as if proving her point or something. "What could make me a mutant! I don't look like you do! I look somewhat normal. I don't do anything special..."

"You don't understand. Mutants do not alvays look as different as I do. Ze others vith ze professer, zey vere mutants as vell." he said trying to get her to fully understand him.

Rolling her eyes, "Oh, great. So those others were reading my mind too?"

With a light chuckle, Kurt said, "No, they have different powers..." Madison seemed to be ignoring him as she held her hands over her ears, attempting to block out the loud noises of her own thoughts. Kurt stood there watching her struggle with herself. He spoke up again, "You powers too, Madison."

She sat on the chair an leaned her head on the arm of the chair. "What! What power could I have that's so great?.." she said and groaned.

He sighed and replied, "Did you notice? When you are angry, objects around you start to move... the Professer believes you are a telekinetic." Kurt finished.

She looked up at him. She had stress in her eyes. She softly said, "I'm not a telekinetic..." the volume of her voice was getting louder as she stood up. "I'm not any different than any other person..." she walked to the end of the table that stood between her chair and the couch. She stood there and in a really loud voice she started saying ,"I'M NOT a mutant! I'm NOT A FREAK anymore than EVERYONE ELSE! I'M NOT A MUTANT!" she said. She closed her eyes, and felt her blood boil inside her. Her anger was almost unbeareble. She started to breathe in really hard. She kept her eyes closed but she felt like Kurt was near her. She heard noises of some things falling and breaking. She opened and closed her eyes very quickly several times and fell forward in a faint. She opened her eyes as she fell. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. She saw Kurt reach out to catch her as she fell. She saw the small end table move through the air slowly, as if suspended on strings. She slowly closed her eyes again.

Momentarily, she opened her eyes again. Opening her eyes made her dizzy to the point of nausea, and she blacked out. Madison was lying on her back, and after only a few minutes, she woke and looked up to see Kurt's face filled with concern. Not knowing what to say she sat up and rubbed her head.

"Madison, I know this may be hard to take.. hard to unerstand..." he stood up and lent his hand to Madison and helped her stand up. He continued, "But now... do you believe me..?" he held out his hand toward the edge of the room. Madison slowly looked up at what he was pointing at.

Her hand flew to her mouth. There was a small end table leaning on its side against the wall with its legs sticking out. There were a few broken picture frames laying in various places on the floor, along with a crushed vase and a few marks on the wall. She gasped. "Did... I ...do that?..." she was almost scared to hear the answer. She looked at Kurt and he looked to the floor. "Why did this happen to me!" she said. She walked to the couch and plopped down there, her face buried in a pillow.

Kurt walked over and sat down beside her. She started to cry. "What's happening to me?" she continued. "My mom will hate me forever.. and so will Lee!" she sat up and put her head on his shoulders. It felt good to have someone's shoudler to cry on for once.

He put his arm around her shoulder and said, "You know... one of ze best places you can go is ze Professer's school for ze gifted. I do not vant to push you, but you could be great things. Zere are many possibilities. But ze main reason vee vant you to come is because you may not be able to control your powers if you do not go." he said kindly.

A tired, saddened look came to her face, and Madison stood up and walked to her room without saying anything. It was only 5:15 she looked at the clock. Luckily her mom wasn't to return until 8 oclock that night. She stayed in her room for a while. She wasn't ready to talk to him about this. She didn't want to talk to anyone.
