Sivvy: I realize that the last chapter was a little boring. This is mainly because I was just introducing the character and the story. It will start to pick up soon. I promise. Maybe not in this chapter, but soon. Now on with chapter two.
Part One
We had just pulled up to the school.
"Welcome to your new school Savannah." Professor Xavier said.
"Holy Mother of Pancakes!" I said, "This place is huge."
"If you'll follow me, we'll get you settled into your room. You won't have a roommate at the moment, but eventually you will have one." He said.
"That's alright with me." I said.
I was so giddy right then that he could've said my cat had just died in a nuclear explosion and I wouldn't have cared. Well, I would have later. He led me to the room I would be staying in.
"Once you get settled in, come co my office and we'll get your schedule all taken care of." He said.
"Alright Professor." I said.
He left and I just stared at the room. It was sorta big and had two beds, two dressers, a night stand between the beds, a wall mirror, a closet, and a connected bathroom.
I like it already. I thought.
I unpacked my clothes and my writing supplies. My books would come later, after I get a ginormous book shelf….maybe two.
"By the name of the all powerful super twinkie, I dub this room…um…..um….Oh I'll dub it later." I said to myself, "And now I go get my schedule."
I took one step out the door and stopped.
"Now, where's his office?" I said.
My eyes went blurry again and, when my sight came back, I saw a floating squiggly line of purple going down the hall and around the corner.
" Well alright super powers. To the Professor." I said, "I have got to stop talking to myself."
I followed the squiggly, purple line to an open door. Inside was the Professor, Scott, the woman that was at my house with them, a red haired woman, and another guy looking at them all like they're a bunch of die hard freaks.
"Ah, yes, Savannah. Come in and I'll get you your schedule. You've met Scott Summers and Ororo Monroe, the other woman is Jean Grey, and this is Logan." He said, gesturing at each one in turn, "Jean, this is our new student Savannah."
"Hi." I said, "And I prefer Sivvy, Siv, Vee, or Vee Vee
"Why do you smell like a fox?" Logan asked me.
"How should I know?" I said, "I've been her about-"
I checked my watch.
"Holy beef in a shrimp basket. By the name of the Super Twinkie, how have I been her for that long?" I questioned myself.
"You have the weirdest sayings." Scott said.
"It comes from having a friend that thinks of nothing but food and has the strangest dreams." I said, "It also comes from the fact that my brain is four different ages."
"…What?" He asked.
"Exactly." I said.
"Here is your schedule, Savannah." The Professor said.
"Arigato." I said.
Logan looked at me.
"You know Japanese?" He asked.
"A little." I said, "I also know some German. Later."
I walked out the door and started back to my room.
Now which way to go? I thought.
This time a black squiggly line appeared. I followed it back to my room.
"So different people have different colors." I mused, "Cool."
You know, I thought, that Logan guy isn't half bad looking. He's older than me though. By a lot, which completely sucks. Oh well. I'll just let things fall into place and fall where they may. That, though, does not stop me from thinking he was hot. I love my mind. It protects things.
Part Two
I woke up the next morning with a pain in my lower back.
"Itai." I said.
I threw off the covers, walked over to the mirror, and turned around. My eyes widened as I saw a silver tipped, black, furry tail coming out from just above my ass.
"Well this could make things difficult." I said.
I thought of moving it left. It moved left. I thought right. It moved right. I thought swish. It swished.
"Scratch that. This could make things fun." I said and grinned.
I hopped in the shower and, while I was washing up, figured out how to wash my tail. I got out of the shower, got dressed, dried my hair and tail, brushed my hair, and stopped.
"Great. Now I need a brush for my tail." I sighed.
At the moment, I just used my regular brush. I wrapped my tail around my waist, stepped out into the hallway, and stopped again.
"Need to find kitchen." I muttered.
A gray squiggly line appeared, leading from the door across mine, down the hall, and around the corner.
Must be a girl heading to the kitchen. I thought, Weird. I never met her and I know her scent trail. When the hell did I figure out it was a scent trail? When the hell did I figure out how to use this at all?
I followed the gray and happened upon the kitchen. Shocker. I saw the gray lead over to a girl about my age. I deactivated the…,Tracker? Yeah let's call it that, and asked Ororo politely for some breakfast. Yay waffles! I sat down at a random table and started to eat. A girl with brown hair came and sat next to me.
"You're new too aren't you?" She asked.
"Yeah, just got here yesterday." I said.
"So what's your mutation?" She asked.
I looked up at her.
School for gifted youngsters? Well mutants are gifted. I thought.
"I'm a fox." I said, "Almost literally. I got the tail, the nose, so to speak, and, apparently, the smell, or so that Logan character says. I'm Sivvy, by the way."
"I'm Marie, but I prefer Rogue." She said, "That Logan character, as you call him, is who I was traveling with before I came here."
"Cool." I said, "So what's your power?"
"I'm not exactly comfortable with it, or have any control, but I can absorb other peoples powers momentarily, if they're a mutant, and absorb peoples life force, if they're not. It's horrible." She said.
"It's not so bad. You just have to be careful is all." I said.
"Most people would be scared." She said.
"Well I'm not most people. Besides, I got a tail growing out of my ass. It would be a little hypocritical if I did that." I stated.
"Good point." She said, "Well better be getting to class."
"Yup." I said, "See ya."
Dear Diary,
I had a wonderful first day. Well, as far as first days go anyway. I met a multitude of new people; I even befriended some. It wasn't a phenomenal day. Just mutant kids in a school. The cliques are pretty much the same, and I found my own little group. There's Bobby(Iceman), Rogue, and John(Pyro). That's my day in a nut shell. School itself is boring so why bother saying anything about it.
