Peter held my hand and started to guide me down the stairs towards the other side of the mansion that I haven't been in yet. We could hear the noises coming from some of the classrooms as we passed, I guess some kids really do like math here.
"Pete, where are you taking me?" We slowed down once we reached the first floor, afraid that we might get caught by one of the teachers, since our classes weren't over yet and we were technically skipping, but he was still holding my hand. Not that I was about to complain on having his massive hand with mine, it felt nice.
"My, my, why are you always so curious Alice?" He chuckled "You remind me the Alice from that story" He laughed again, I got the feeling that he didn't do that very often.
"The little girl with blue eyes and blond hair? Oh yeah, I look exactly like her" I bated my brown eyelashes and twirled my brown hair to prove a point. He couldn't keep his composer any longer and neither could I and both start to laugh.
"Come on Alice, we're very late" When he tried to twitch his nose, I almost gave us away with my loud laughter. Peter put a hand to my mouth and picked me up, my cheeks flamed at the contact, people would no doubt come out of their classrooms to see where the Circus was.
Once we got outside, he put me down, and I could see where he had taken me. It seemed like a school gymnasium. Well, a very fancy and well equipped gym. Not like the one in my old school.
"What are we doing here? Oh wait, I forgot to tell you… I suck in any type of physical exercise. You don't want me in your team, trust me." He put his forefinger to his lips, motioning me to be quiet, when I was about to ask why, a group of students entered.
I thought that this school was for teenagers, but the kids that had just come in were so…young.
"They're too young to be here" I said to no one in particular, when I saw a boy, who looked to be eleven years old, running towards the goal.
"The mutant gene doesn't have a set date to manifest. Some here are very young, ten, maybe eleven years old." Peter told me, taking a seat beside me on the benches. I was speechless; that was never said that on the news.
"But how…I mean, how did they discovered this place. Did their parents send them here?" I felt him tense when I asked. I couldn't look away from the group of little children that seemed so happy playing here.
"Some of them were sent here, others were runaways; some were abandoned by their families when the mutant gene appeared." He took a breath "We were lucky that the Professor and the others found us." I finally looked at him and noticed that he was watching the kids too. I took his hands in mine and squeezed it.
"Yeah, we're very lucky"
When Pete smiled is like a painting coming into life. He smiled brightly, like Apollo, the God of the Sun
"You are really handsome when you smile, I wish you could do this more often." I told him without thinking. Holy Cow! Did I really just say that? To him? What is wrong with me? Dear God, my incapacity to keep my mouth shut just gets me in trouble. I looked down to my feet, my hair blocking my face.
His expression softened and through my hair I could see that he was about to tell me something, probably to make me feel even more a fool of myself. Luckily I didn't have to endure the inevitable embarrassment when the ball the kids were playing with collided with my foot
"Hey Colossus! What are you doing there?" One tiny girl screamed at us, she was so cute with her red hair in braids "Come play with us, and bring your tall friend too, we need more girls in our team!"
I laughed, I was so bad that I could lose to a bunch of kids, no joke, but these kids need someone, and what was there stopping me from being that person?
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" He got up and started to jog towards the boy's team while I made my way to the girls.
"Alright girls, I don't know about you, but I am not about to lose to a bunch of boys" I said to them .Oh yeah, the oldest competition known to man: the war of the sexes. They all cheered and some even started to scream. From the corner of my eye, I saw Pete talking to the boys, probably telling them to be gentle with the girls. Oh, you are so going down!
"Now, who's with me?" We clapped hands and ran to the game.
"Dude" I was breathless "You play like a girl" We had collapsed to the grass after the kids had abandoned the game and gone to their dorms. Needless to say that the girl's won, fair and square. I quickly learned that the "No powers" rule is essential here. And thank God for that.
"I let you" Peter was breathless too; no one could run like a bunch of kids, I learnt that today too. But even with my feet aching and I was sweating like a pig, I couldn't be happier. That's what I needed, a distraction, and I had to thank Peter for that.
"You better get used to it" He hand me the bottle of water that the kids had given to us, they had no problem sharing like other normal bratty kids "You're my partner in this game, so you better be ready when they call us" The meaning of this was just silly, me playing with kids games with Peter, but I couldn't help but feeling of butterflies in my stomach when he said that I was his partner .God, I'm such a girl.
"Yeah right, they only selected me because I play better than you do" I smacked his arm, and instantly regretted it. I really did have to remember that hitting Peter was like hitting a wall of solid concrete.
"I thought you said that you weren't good at sports." True, I had forgotten about that and by some miracle I was good today. Maybe it was because I had Peter beside me. But I couldn't tell him that.
"Maybe my powers affected the way I play sports." I winked to him and he just laughed. This place seems to have this affect on me. I had never been that vocal before, usually I kept what's on my mind in my mind, but now it seemed I liked voicing my opinions, especially to Peter.
"Oh so, you're that good right?" I raised my eyebrows when he started to got up, I thought he was going to run or something, but he didn't "Well, dodge me then"
I didn't have time to react; all I saw was that massive extremely good looking sculpture like boy coming towards me. I didn't think that he would actually kill me, but that's what could happen if he actually landed on me. I let out a scream and closed my eyes, getting ready for the impact that never came.
"You are such a chicken" I opened my eyes and saw that he was lying beside me on the grass, with his arms behind his head "You didn't actually think I was going to do that, did you?"
I let out a snort and did a very un-Alice thing that I could do to a very good looking boy. I started to tickle him.
After I decided that I had tortured him enough, I got up and started to get the leaves off my shirt. When Peter motioned for me that he was about to do the same I did my best "don't even think about it" look, and he moved his offending fingers
"This is not over" He tried to look serious, but I stopped to seeing him as a serious person
"Yeah right, cause you are so strong and all, right Pete?" My smile must've softened him somehow, because he shrugged and stood up. He offered a hand to help me up, and didn't let go once we were both standing. Instead he started to lead me somewhere else.
"Come on, there is one more place I need to show you"
You have to admit that this was a cute ,I won't know what you think if you don't review ;)
