Chapter 5: Classes
The next day Lilly went to her classes that she received from Professor Xavier. There were six classes to the day. First she had Science with Jean Gray, then it was off to English with Xavier, Scott taught Math, Ororo with History, Health with Hank, and for the last class she got to choose either a foreign language with Piotr, Shop with Logan, or Home Ec with Remy, and since she loved to cook, she chose Home ec.
Her first day of class was a lot of catching up. She got notes from other students, but knew that she would be needing some extra help after classes ended for the day. All the teachers offered to help her if she needed it. It wasn't that she was bad at school, it was just that the Xavier Institute, as the school was called, was a lot more advanced than normal schools. She got through Math with Scott before it was time for lunch. So far her favorite class had been English, but it was that way even in a normal high school. She loved learning the different literary languages and reading what others had to say, whether it was a true story, or completely from that author's imagination.
She sat down with Rogue and Kitty during their lunch break. She was sleeping in the room across from theirs, by herself for right now, but it seemed like that didn't last long in the Institute. She had met them this morning. Kitty was your typical teenage girl who loved to gab, but she had a good heart. Kitty had brown eyes and hair she kept up in a ponytail.
"So how ya likin' it so far?" Rogue asked.
"It's nice, everyone is so helpful. But these classes are a lot harder than normal school," Lilly answered.
"I know right? Like seriously tell me about it, it's crazy. I had such a hard time dealing when we first started taking classes here. Like I still have problems, but you learn to deal I suppose," Kitty rambled on.
"Oh my gosh, I am so not ready for the finals next veek," Kurt said, after popping out of nowhere at the table. He was blue from head to toe with four fingers and a long tail that pointed off at the end.
"I hope I pass," Lilly said thoughtfully.
"It won't matter too much whether you do or not. Since you're new here, all they're concerned about right now is getting you caught up," Bobby said, sitting down next to Lilly. Jean walked over to their table. Bobby had brown hair and eyes.
"Hi everyone, how are you all doing today?" Jean asked. They all answered her with fine's, good's or stressed. She smiled at everyone. "That's good to hear, well except for the stressed part. Lilly, I hate to do this during you're lunch break, but would you like to get some extra studying in now?"
"Sure, anything I can do to get caught up," Lilly said. "It was good to see and meet you all, maybe we can hang out later?"
"For sure," Kurt and Bobby replied. Rogue and Kitty rolled their eyes.
Lilly followed Jean into her office, and saw Ororo and Remy waiting for her.
"This isn't studying for normal classes is it?"
"I'm afraid not," Ororo replied. "We are going to teach you about control. It's one of the hardest things to master, especially with mutant abilities, and especially with yours."
"I know when I first sta'ted I had the ha'dest trouble wit' control. Evert'in' I touched...bam! Now, I can cha'ge anyt'in' I wan' as much as I be wantin'. Still ha'd t'ough, but ya get used t' it," Remy explained.
"So we're going to go down to the danger room and have you practice, using your mutant abilities," Jean explained.
"I'm not so sure that's a good idea. What if I hurt you guys?" Lilly said, fidgeting. Remy put his hands on her shoulders.
"Don' you worry 'bout a t'ing chere. We be a'right. Ya never gon' git bette' if ya don' try." Lilly looked into his eyes and saw how sincere they were. Being this close to him, she felt her cheeks grow warm. He chuckled a bit and then let go as she nodded her consent.
The four of them went into the danger room and started practicing. Reluctantly, and with a little pushing, they got her to use some of her abilities, but each time she lost control. Fire would start spinning all around them, lightning bounced off the walls violently, plants grew so much that there was no room to move, and the air whipped around them like razor blades. The teachers, however, said that she was doing a lot better than when she started. She didn't feel like it, but smiled at them and thanked them for all of their help. The rest of the school day went by quickly, and she was happy when she got to home ec. She was happy to see Remy was the teacher when she walked in.
He went through the lesson for the day, and they all got to practicing. Most of the students stuff came out burnt as Remy walked through the classroom viewing all of their work.
"Looks like we migh' be needin' a bit more practice," he said quietly. He got to where Lilly had been practicing and it smelled really good. He tasted what she had made for the class. "You sure you be needin' this class chere? This be mighty good if I do say so m'self."
"Thank you, I loved baking back at my old school, and a lot of my techniques are self taught."
"I be t'inkin you cook for th' school all de time," Remy suggested.
"That would be too much cooking for one girl to handle I think," Lilly laughed.
"Well yo' migh' be righ' t'ere." Remy went back to teaching his class and it ended without a hitch.
Lilly's first day of classes went by really well she thought, and even though she hated her mutant powers, and hated the fact that she still couldn't control them, she thought this was a good place to live and to learn.
