Scott found Jai in the canteen.
"Jai, you don't start fights like that." Scott said sitting down with him.
"He grabbed me from the bed I was told to sleep in and chucked me out the door. He deserved to be started on."
"When did he do that?" Asked Scott.
"This morning, you didn't come up long after it."
"So he didn't get back to his room till this morning?"
"I guess not. It's not what I expected here and I don't have to stick around."
"Please give it one more chance."
"One, but then I'm going." Said Jai reluctantly.
"You won't have to, I need to go talk to Bobby." Scott got up and left Jai with his food.
Bobby was tidying up his room when Scott came in.
"So, where did you sleep last night?"
"What?"
"When you got back from your walk and saw your bed was taken, where did you sleep?" Asked Scott. "Unless you didn't get back last night."
"I." Bobby paused.
"Where were you?" Asked Scott more sternly.
"I slept in Rouge's room." Replied Bobby after a long pause.
"You know that's not aloud."
"If we weren't in this school then it wouldn't be a problem. You know I can't touch her since the cure wore off so we won't be getting up to any funny business." Said Bobby getting more agitated.
"That's not the point. You've got another detention with me and an essay on why boys and girls are thought to work better apart."
"Are you being serious?"
"Have you known me not to be?" Scott replied giving Bobby one of his stares then leaving his room.
"Welcome back to the school." Said Ororo with a big grin on her face.
"Some things never change." Replied Scott.
"Scott." Shouted Jai from behind.
"It's Mr Summers to students." Ororo said.
"Where am I supposed to sleep?" Asked Jai ignoring Ororo.
"Do you know where there is a spare room?" Scott asked Ororo.
"I think there's a spare bed in Tommy's room."
"I don't want to share." Said Jai to Scott.
"I'm sorry but everyone shares here." Said Ororo.
"Bobby doesn't." Retorted Jai.
"He's been here a long time and he gets some special privileges." Explained Scott.
"Can I just sleep in a cupboard? I'll transform into a dog, it'll be fine." Said Jai. Scott remembered how unsociable Jai was.
"There's a sofa in my room you can sleep on if you want?" Asked Scott.
"I don't think that would be appropriate." Said Ororo.
"He can until he makes some friends." Said Scott, looking after Jai like he said he would.
"Cheers Scott." Said Jai.
"It's Mr Summers now you're at the school." Said Ororo sternly.
"Why are you even talking to me? I am trying to talk to Scott."
"Excuse me but you're at school now and I'm your teacher, you have to follow orders that your teachers give you."
"F-"
"JAI," shouted Scott before he could swear. "Go get your bag from Bobby's room and put it in my room." Jai did as Scott told him.
"He has a lot of respect for you by the looks of it." Said Ororo.
"I've got to know him over the past couple of weeks. He's just not used to been told what to do or having rules."
"That doesn't change the fact that he has to go follow the rules of this school Scott. I'm sorry but if you think because you made friends with him and brought him here that he can be treated differently then your wrong."
"I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying it may need some getting used to for him."
"I trust you to deal with him as you want, but if I need to step in I will."
Jai was outside Bobby's door he'd just knocked and was waiting for a response. The door opened and Bobby stood in the frame.
"I've just come for my bag."
"Sure, come in," said Bobby. "Sorry I went mad this morning. I've been having a bit of trouble with my girlfriend so I came back to my room in a bad mood. I wouldn't have normally reacted that way."
"Save it." Said Jai putting his bag on his back and heading to the door.
"You're not leaving are you?" Asked Bobby concerned.
"It's none of your business."
"This is a great school, it becomes your home. I'd stay if I was you."
"You're not me. Anyway I'm not leaving, but I think everyone can come to the conclusion that you're not happy to share your room." Said Jai as he left. Bobby stayed in his room deciding that Jai wasn't someone you should try and socialize with in any way. Jai made his way to Scott's room. He didn't mind sharing a room with Scott because he knew him but sharing a room with someone he didn't know was weird in his opinion. He knew Ororo didn't like him, he'd heard what she said when he walked away from her and Scott but he didn't care what she thought of him. He didn't care what anyone thought of him.
Except maybe Scott.
