It all started a cold morning in late June. It was only cold because I had forgotten to turn off the air conditioner.....I heard a knock on my front door and rolled over looking at the clock. 'Its 10:12am....Who would be at my door at this hour...?' I wondered out loud. "Coming!!" I called to who ever was at the door. I slowly got off my bed and put on a shirt. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. I was still as thin and pasty as I had been the last time I looked. 'Ever since Trish....'

My thoughts were interrupted again by a knock on my door but this time it was louder. "Coming!!" I called again. I walked over my mess of movie boxes, Cd cases, and dirty clothes. I looked through the peep hole. I took a step back when I saw a gruff man dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt. I wasn't quite sure what to do then.

"Hello? Stephan?" A woman's voice asked making me cringe.

"Who are you people and what are you doing here?" I asked annoyed.

"My name is Ororo Monroe, and this is my Friend Logan. We are here to offer you to join our school." Ororo explained though the door.

I decided to look through the peep hole again. The man appeared to be about 5,4 and muscular. The woman was slim and tan. She was really pretty and seemed to be about in her mid 20's. Maybe about 5,6 with white hair. 'Not many people could pull it off.' I thought to myself. "I'm actually finished school.....So no thanks."

"Its not a regular school. Its a special school for kids like us!" I heard a German voice say. Yet again I looked through the peep hole. It was a kid who looked like me.....Well a teenager. He looked about 16 and was just as pasty and thin as me. Now to normal people this may seem weird but this was enough of a reason to me to let them in. Call me crazy but he seemed really friendly.

So I opened the door and let the three in. "Please excuse the mess I wasn't expecting company." I said quickly grabbing the cases and clothes and tossing them in my room. "Would anyone like a drink?" I asked as they took seats.

"No we're fine." Ororo stated looking at her companions.

"So.....what kind of school is this? Like a college?" I asked confused.

The German boy shook his head. "Its a school for people like us. We learn how to control our gifts. Its really cool. There are a bunch of people our age. Plus we are like a big family."

"Ummmm.....ok...." I started.

"OH! By the vay my name is Kurt! Do you vant to see vhat I can do?" He asked me.

"Ummm...sure." I answered looking at him. He pushed a button on his watch and he turned blue. The guy REALLY turned blue!! Just as I was thinking that and the tail were all he disappeared and reappeared across the room. I just stared. What can I say I was in shock.

"Uhh..Kid I think you scared him." Logan stated looking at the now blue elf looking German. The blue kid looked like he had been slapped. Thats when I snapped out of it.

"Wow! How did you go from there to there? Thats incredible!" I said standing. The trio just looked at me.

"You mean.....Ummmm...." Kurt tried looking shocked.

Not wanting to put him on the spot I turned to the woman. "So you three can all do things like that? I mean...Things that normal people can't?"

"My nickname is Storm. I can control weather. Kurt's nickname is Nightcrawler. He can teleport as he has shown and can also blend in with shadows. Logan's nickname is Wolverine. He has healing abilities, and has adaminium throughout his body." Storm explained.

Regaining his ability to speak Kurt piped up "Ja, and there are more people like us at the school!" He teleported over to me. "So vhat do you say?"

"Ummmm....I guess I could give it a shot?" I must admit that I thought these people were going to see my abilities and laugh at me. I mean here is a kid that can poof from one place to another and has a really cool tail, some lady who can change the weather, some guy who......probably can't get a cold and then there is me. Oh boy I can hear things and make things blow up.

"Hello earth to Sky!" Kurt said waving his blue hand in front of my face.

I blinked. "Sorry were you saying something?"

"Ja. Did you want to come, or do you need some time to think?" He asked me laughing a bit.

"If you want you can think about it for a while." Storm offered.

"I guess I could try it out...." I was wondering what I was getting myself into when I was pushed into my room.

"Great! I'll help you pack!" Kurt said looking around my room. I honestly wasn't worried about the other two being in the other room since its not like I had anything of value.

I quickly finished packing with the blue elf's help and was led down to a black van. I was really unsure about all this but something told me that if I stayed something bad would happen. Logan got in the driver's seat and Storm took the passenger seat. Kurt helped me toss my three bags in the back. I had to take a bag of clothes, one for my electronics, and another for my pictures, pillow, and other things I was use to having.

The trip only took about 20 minutes. Kurt again helped me with my bags and the adults led us in the front door and through a few rooms to a rather large room that kinda looked like a library. I was looking around the room when I noticed a tall blue man who was furry. Kinda like Kurt, only he looked more like a gorilla. He was also wearing glasses and looked intelligent. He seemed to be having a conversation with a bald man who was sitting in a wheelchair. The bald man looked like one of those people who was really nice but if you didn't do something right might scold you. I was interrupted by what sounded like talking in my head.

'Don't you know its rude to interrupt someone's thoughts?' A man's voice asked sounding a bit amused.

For some reason I immediately looked at the man in the wheelchair. He nodded.

"How did you do that? I was like you were talking but only to me." I asked hoping I didn't sound stupid.

"Its a gift we both seem to share. Didn't you notice you were doing it as well?" The man asked me.

I couldn't help but to frown. "What are you talking about?"

He laughed lightly. "Relax and look at me."

I did as he said and just kinda thought for a moment. 'I wounder what his name is...' I thought.

'My name is Professor Charles Xavier. This is the school I created for people like us, so we can learn how to use our gifts to help others.' The man said in my head.

'So you can hear me?' I asked blinking at the man.

'Yes. As you can hear me. I will teach you how to talk to others and control your other ability.' The professor explained to me.

I was really excited but I have learned how to cover it up. 'Sure. So where is my room?' I asked silently.

"You will be rooming with Kurt since your room isn't ready yet." He said out loud. "That is if you both don't mind."

"Ja thats great!" Kurt said picking up one of my bags.

Kurt gave me a tour on the way to our room. We went though the long hallway. The whole place was hardwood. I guess they didn't want people to run around the huge place since most of the people that lived here were teens. Kurt led me into the kitchen. I was amazed at how big it was. It seemed that there were two of everything. Two stoves, two sinks, two refrigerators, two....yeah two of everything. He grabbed out two cans of Coke and tossed one to me. He looked at his watch.

"We'll have to finish our tour later. I have to get to training. Since its your first day you don't have to go." He stated grabbing my arm and teleporting me to our room. "This is your bed, dresser and your side of the closet is the right side. I'll be back in about an hour." He said going blue and teleporting away.

I dropped my bags on my bed and started to unpack. I carefully hid my guitar. I honestly didn't want people to know that I knew how to play or about the band I was in. Even if I decided to stay the less they knew about my past and the person I once was the better.....
