I walked along the halls of the school wishing for the day to end. I saw my locker was only a few feet away and smiled, 'I made it, I hope I can get out bef-' the bell rang as I reached my locker and dread wavered over me. I quickly put in my combination, 27-34-22; I missed the 34 and frantically started over, 27-34-22. I got it open and grabbed my book-bag and math book. I closed the locker and turned around to be faced with the very person I'd been dreading to see all day. "Well, well, well." Marissa said smirking evilly "I thought I told you that if you came back to school I'd kick your ass. Well, I guess that's what you get for looking at my boyfriend, loser." Her two friends, Sarah and Eryn walked up behind her and I clutched onto my book, holding it to my chest. "Just pummel her already, we've been waiting for too long to see this." Sarah said pushing a lock of her Black with purple streaked hair out of her face. "Yeah, besides it's not like she's going to fight back." Eryn said smirking at me. "Fine. Let's get this over with." Marissa said walking closer to me. 'I wish I could just disappear, disappear and turn into nothing.' I thought closing my eyes. There was a sudden gasp "H-how-what-where did she go?!" She yelled enraged and confused. I opened my eyes to see the three of them looking around frantically. I ran passed Marissa and to the entrance of the school. I stopped and looked down at my body. I couldn't see anything there. I ran the rest of the way to my house. When I got inside I could finally see my body again, 'that was...weird.' I thought. "Sheila? Is that you hun? You have some guests." my mother said from the living room. I walked into the living room and sat next to my mom on the sofa. I looked at our guests; there was a bald middle aged man in a wheel chair, a teenage girl with red hair, and a teenage boy with brown hair and sunglasses. "This is Professor Charles Xavier, and his students, Jean Gray and Scott Summers. They are here to talk to you about...uhm..." "About your gift." The professor finished. "Gift?" I asked remembering the earlier events. "Yes, have you ever, made something happen to yourself or others and you can't explain it?" Jean asked. I nodded slightly. "What happened, Sheila?" He asked. I told them of the events that had happened earlier. He nodded following everything that had happened. "Sheila, we are from the Xavier Institute for the Gifted, and we would like you to attend." He said smiling. "At the institute you will learn how to control your powers, and you will make some great friends." Scott added. I looked at my mom. "I think that this is a great idea. Your father and I will be here if you need us." She put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "When do I leave?" I asked smiling. "Tomorrow. We will enroll you at Bayville High school." Professor Xavier said. "We'll see you then." My mother walked them out. 'I hope things won't be the same there as they are here.' I went into my room and sat at my desk, trying to focus on my homework. I tried to preoccupy my mind with my studies but my mind kept going back to what had happened earlier. I got up form my desk and sat on my bed. I held out my hand and closed my eyes, trying to concentrate. I opened my eyes to see my whole body was invisible. I smiled and my body became opaque again.
Today was the day. I looked at my clock, 2:45 am. I grabbed my suitcase and my and headed downstairs. Professor Xavier and another man were downstairs waiting for me. "Sheila, this is Logan. He is a good friend of mine and he lives at the institute." Professor Xavier said motioning towards a tall man with black hair and a serious look on his face. He nodded towards me and went outside. I hugged my parents and said goodbye. I got on the sleek black jet that was waiting outside. We took off and I watched my house grow smaller and smaller in the distance. I sighed and took a book out of my duffle bag and read the cover, 'Mockingjay' it was the third book in the Hunger Games series and I was almost done with it. I picked up from where I had left off and within a few minutes I could feel tears forming in my eyes. There was a sudden strongbamf! /strongAnd a cloud of smoke and the smell of brimstone filled the air. I squealed and clutched the book to my chest. I looked up to see a weird looking creature. It had blue fur, pointy ears, and demon-like tail. Professor Xavier came into the little area through the cockpit, "Hello, Kurt. What are you doing here?" the Professor asked. "I vanted to meet the new team member." Kurt said smiling, "Vere are zey anyvays?" He asked looking around. I looked down and realized I'd been invisible. "It's okay Sheila, you can come out now." the Professor said. I turned opaque again and set the book on my lap. He walked over to me, "Hello, I'm Kurt." He said extending his three fingered hand, I reached out with my own and shook it. "I'm Sheila." I said quietly." "I'll leave you two to get acquainted while I accompany Logan in the cockpit." the Professor wheeled himself back into the cockpit and shut the door. "You don't talk very much do you?" he asked sitting in the seat next to me. I shook my head and he picked up the book off my lap. He read the cover then set it back down. I couldn't help but feel awkward. "No offense, but...Why are you still here? Most people leave since I don't talk much." I said shyly. He looked at me confused, "I sought zat you vould vant some company. I know how boring zese trip can get." He said leaning into the chair. "Anyvays, I zink you'll like zee institute. You'll get to meet Katzchen and Evan! I zink you and Katzchen vill become great friends." He said yawning. After a few minutes of silence I looked over to see Kurt sleeping. I sighed and picked up my book and began to read again. So much for keeping me company.
