Whoo! Another chapter! This is the fastest I've updated in a while! Anyways, I just wanted to make it clear right now that Todd does not have a crush on Luna, nor her on him. The only reason he blushed when she asked him to help her was because of the awkwardness of the situation. Anyway, enjoy this chapter, and please, leave a review! Yall should know that I do read every one and will gladly use any ideas people give me that I happen to like.

I watched confused as Luna limped into the old boys bathroom. It was the one bathroom in the school nobody ever went into. Well, a few people did, but it was mostly people who decided to catch a quick smoke between classes, or the Brotherhood. I was worried, but decided not to pry. It wasn't my business after all, we had only met a few hours ago. So I started making my way towards the cafeteria, my growling stomach demanding immediate attention.

After finally making it through the ridiculously long line to get food in the lunch room I walked over to the same table we x-men always sat at. The whole Xavier Institute usually sat in the same corner of the lunch room, no matter which lunch you had. It was tradition. I sat my tray down next to Jean and dove in to the "mystery meat" the school cafeteria graciously provided us.

"Eww, Kurt, how do you even eat that stuff?" Kitty wrinkled her nose at me as she buttered her baked potato.

I looked up from my food for a moment, "Like this." I slowly took a large bite, then dug back in with renewed zeal.

"Ga-ross."

I rolled my eyes and slowed down my scarfing enough to appear civilized. I scanned the crowd for Evan and eventually spotted him walking towards us. He plopped himself down next to me and poked at his food like he was worried it was going to eat him.

"Man, how to they expect us to eat this stuff?" He gave it another poke before glancing over at my already nearly empty tray. "Trade ya your milk for... whatever this is."

I nodded eagerly, unable to speak through my mouthful of food. He pulled the milk off of his tray and I passed him mine before he slid the unwanted tray in front of the one I was currently cleaning.

"So where'd Luna go anyway? I thought she was gonna come sit with us?" Evan asked, causing me to pause in my inhaling of meat.

"I don't know, I vent back to get her after she finished talking to the teacher about something because I vasn't sure if she knew where the cafeteria was. She accidentally ran into me and then limped into the abandoned boys bathroom. It vas weird."

"She limped into the boys bathroom? That doesn't sound weird to anybody else?" Rouge cocked an eyebrow and shifted her gaze to Jean, who had been suspicious of the girl earlier.

"I don't trust her, I couldn't get a mental reading from her at all, almost like she had a shield around her thoughts." Jean crossed her arms and rested them on the table, her forehead wrinkling as she thought.

"Hey, vhat happened to you not reading anybody's mind unless it was an emergency?" I asked coldly. It wasn't like she had done anything wrong, and yet it seemed everyone was suspicious of her!

"I wasn't trying to read her mind Kurt, but even if I'm not trying I can still feel people's mental presence. When she was standing next to me I didn't feel anything, it was like she wasn't even there."

I frowned and returned to my food, now only picking at it.

"Well," Scott began. "It's not like she's actually done anything wrong, I think we should just keep an eye on her. She seems nice enough anyway."

Scott said this with an air of finality, and the subject was closed for now and the topic soon changed to something far more uninteresting. Soon enough lunch was over and the rest of the day passed without incident. Luna never showed up to any of her other classes, and pretty soon the first day of school was over. After the last bell rang we all made our way out the front doors and into the parking lot, eager to get home and do teenager-y things after hours of sitting.

The rest of the x-men and I made our way to Scott's car and jumped in, Scott driving, Jean in the passenger seat, me behind Scott and Evan beside me. Rouge and Kitty had decided to walk back to the institute to enjoy the nice day.

"So, how was everybody's first day back?" Scott inquired, glancing at me and Evan in the rear-view mirror.

"Fine, teach gave us a buttload of homework though, it'll take forever to get done." Evan complained. "Plus we got a bunch of syllabuses we have to get signed and returned by tomorrow. I always forget those things."

"Mine vas pretty normal." I volunteered. "I am still vorried about Luna though, she never showed up to any of her other classes, and she didn't look so good vhen I left her in the hallvay."

"She's probably fine Kurt. You'll see her again tomorrow, and you can go back to flirting with her." Jean smirked at me through the rear-view and I flushed bright red.

"I vas not flirty vith her! I vas just showing her vhere her classes vere. It's easy to get lost in a new school you know." I huffed indignantly, trying desperately to force my face to return to it's normal color.

"You just keep telling yourself that dude." Evan laughed at me and I slapped him playfully.

"Shut up!" I growled, again fighting a blush. I pulled my invisible tail into my lap and fiddled with it, like I always did when I was thinking. It was true the Luna was cute, and she seemed nice enough. I had only know her for a day though. It was strange, it felt almost like I knew her from somewhere else, she seemed so familiar.

I mentally shook myself from my thoughts and returned my focus to the conversation at hand.

"So are you guys ready for the danger room sessions to start up again? Now that everyone's back from vacation we're going back to training Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays."

Me and Evan groaned at the prospect and Jean rolled her eyes. "It won't be that bad, and we can finally see what the new kid Chiro can do."

All of Chiro's training sessions so far had been private, the Professor and Logan the only ones allowed to watch. Chiro had explained to me that it was because he was embarrassed because he thought he wasn't any good. I had explained to him that no one cared how good he was at controlling his powers, and that eventually he would get better. He had begged me not to tell anyone though so I didn't, and the issue never came up again.

Speaking of Chiro...

"Scott, pull over!"

There was Toad, hopping towards the Institute, my roommate in his arms.

Ooh, cliffy there for ya! Please, leave me a review and tell me what you think of this chapter! Really, rip it to shreds, I know there are many areas that can be improved, so if you have something you think should be addressed please tell me. And I do use suggestions from reviewers from time to time, so if you leave one there's a chance it could be used in the next few chapters.
