Chapter 5 "A new start"
Swedish
(English translation)
Thoughts
Karro had fallen asleep on the jet. It wasn't that long. But Karro didn't have a lot to do during her flight to the institute. She could have read a book. But she was too nervous. So she just decided to rest. Jean woke her up.
"We're here now."
"Hmm? Okej." Karro said with a sleepy voice.
"Jean, will you show Karoline to her room?" The professor asked.
"Sure professor. Karoline, come with me."
When Jean and Karro went up to the hallway, Karro felt like she should say something. As a new start on her new life. To her it was all or nothing.
"Jean?"
"Yes?"
"You can call me Karro if you want to. It's shorter then Karoline. But if you like Karoline you can say that too." Karro was so nervous and felt like she over explained her self.
"I will if that's what you want. Is that what your friends calls you?"
"No, I don't have any close friends. I've classmates. But I don't hang out with them."
"Why not?" Jean asked with a concerned look on her face.
"I don't know why. Guess it's because they and I have nothing in common."
"Oh I see. Well here is your room."
Jean opened the door for Karro. She stepped in and dropped her jaw. She've not seen anything like it. Sure, she liked her room home in Sweden. But it was nothing like this. There was big bed(Big if you ask Karro), two bookshelf's with a desk in the middle. It was even big enough for make up and home work. It even had a cute mirror placed on it. The was a small chest of drawers in front of the bed. Karro notice there are two doors in her room. She walked to them to just take a look. One was a closet with a full body mirror on the inside of the door. The other door was a bathroom.
"This is amazing." Karro said all stunned.
"Glad you like it. I will give you some time to pack up and get settled in." Jean said smiling and left Karro alone in her new room.
Karro took her bags and put them on her bed and unpacked her clothes. She putted all her unread books on her bookshelf's and some of her DVD's she brought with her. She put her sketchblocks and pens in one of the drawers. She had her laptop with her. She put the bag with the laptop in it under her bed.
When she was done with the unpacking, she went to bed, lay down and just stared at the roof.
"I think this will be great. Scott and Jean are really nice. Specially Jean. I wonder how the other students here are like Still got to be careful though. Cause you never know." She thought to her self.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Karro got off her bed. Before she opened the door, she took her hood off. It was pretty warm after thought she would see Jean. But there was two other girls. One had brown hair in a high ponytail and colorful clothes. The other girl had short brown hair with white bangs and black and dark green gothic clothes.
"Uuuh.. Hello?"
"Like, hi there! You're the new girl huh?" The colorful one asked.
"Yes?"
"Well I'm Kitty and this is Rogue. We live in the room that is wall-to-wall to yours. We are like neighbors!"
"And Ah'm here cause she made me." Rogue said in annoyance.
"I see.. So.. What's your guys powers?" Karro asked them.
First time she tried to start a some sort of a conversation.
"I can like, phase through stuff."
"And Ah can by touching, absorb other folks memories and abilities." Rogue looked down.
"Oh..." Was all that came out of Karros mouth. She couldn't come up with something else.
"So what's yours?" Kitty asked.
"I'm not so sure. I discovered mine this morning. But I can try to show you two."
Karro looked at her left hand and concentrated. Three 10 cm blades came out of her thumb, index finger and middle finger.
"Something like that I guess." Karro said.
"Oh my God! Does that hurt?" Kitty asked.
"It stings a little. But it's not that bad."
"Wow, you're pretty much like Logan." Rogue said.
"Who's Logan?"
"One of the trainers here. He's not here though. He's out on a trip. Like, clearing his mind." Kitty explained.
Karro let her blades retract in again.
"Well it was nice to meet you two. But I need to rest a little. A lot has happen to me today. I need it to soak in." Karro gave them a weak smile.
"That's like totally fine. We'll be back in like 30 minutes and them we can give you a tour of the institute."
"We?" Rogue asked.
"Well at least me! Like, see you later!" Kitty and Rogue walked away.
"That Kitty sure likes to say "like"... A lot!"
*30 minutes later*
Kitty knocked on Karros door and phased in.
"Ready for your tour?" she asked.
Karro jumped. She was not ready for that, even if she knew Kitty could do that
"Yeah... Sure. Please don't do that again for awhile."
"Sorry. I like forgot you're not used to powers at all." Kitty smiled of embarrassment.
"It's okej. I must get used yo it some day."
"That's like so true. Lets go!"
They got out of Karros room and started to walk down the hallway to the stairs.
"As you can see, there is another floor upstairs. That's where the younger students live. Downstairs is where the main hall, the kitchen, dinner room, and one of that living rooms is. Here on the second floor lives us, the "older" students and our teachers, trainers and the professor. Here is also his office, a library and another living room. It's used as a "play room" and study you can study anywhere you like, want to."
The girls started to walk downstairs.
"Oh! By the way. Would you like something to eat or drink? I forgot to ask if you had eaten something today at all."
"A small sandwich and some juice would be nice." Karro gave Kitty a small smile.
Kitty grabbed Karros wrist and dragged her to the kitchen. And of course Kitty phased them both through the door. Karro just stood there in shock. She was not ready for that either.
"Oh my God! I'm like so sorry. I totally forgot again." Kitty looked worried.
"That's o-okej. I-i guess that's a-another thing to get used to."
Karro took a deep breath and calmed her self down. That was when she noticed there was someone else in there with them. A boy, who was all blue, long dark blue hair, yellow eyes, pointy ears, tail and his hands had only three fingers one them. He was sitting by the kitchen table. Karro couldn't take her eyes off him. He was the most beautiful man she ever seen.
"Can I vhelp you?" He asked.
"Åh! I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." Karro blushed, quickly looked down and hided her face behind her long hair.
Of course Kitty noticed and Kurt gave Karro a confused look.
"Vhy iz SHE hiding?" He thought.
"Hi Kurt! This is Karoline. The new girl."
Kurt walked over to Karro and grabbed her hand to shake it.
"Velcome to "mutant high" Schätzchen." He said with a friendly voice.
"What the heck does Schätzchen mean?" Karro wondered.
Kitty made Karro a sandwich while she and Kurt just stand there, still shaking each others hands. Kitty couldn't hold it anymore. She started giggle madly.
"Vhat'z zo funny?" Kurt asked and let go of Karros hand.
"Oh nothing! You two are like so cute."
"VA!" (What!) Karro looked up with big eyes and a tomato red face that was hiding behind her hair.
"You heard me." Kitty said while putting the sandwich and a glass of orange juice on the kitchen table.
"I'll come back when you're done. Okay?" Kitty phased out of the kitchen.
Karro sat down at the table and drank some of the juice. Kurt took a seat next to her.
"Be vhappy she didn't uze zhe oven or zhe ztove."
"May I ask why?" Karro didn't dare to look at kurt.
"She iz a horrible cook. Bvut don't tell vher that."
"I won't." She started to eat her sandwich.
"For the first time in years I meet a beautiful guy and I don't dare to look at him. Great start Karro!"
A/N
I'll be honest with you guys. I don't know any greman and I'm not 100% sure how the institute is constructed. But I do think I've a pretty good idea. Either way, it's easier for me to remember it like that. :P
Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
R&R ^^
