I wandered through the halls, heading to the student dorm rooms. I saw Rogue walking towards me, and I smiled at her. "Hi, Rogue!"
"Hey, Sam!" Rogue said, and hugged me, careful not to touch my skin. She can zap the life-force out of people just by touching them. If she only touched you for a couple of seconds, nothing really happened, which was why she could kiss Bobby without him dying. Helpful, that.
Rogue let go of me, and asked me where I was going.
"I want to find Douglas. You know, the boy who came with me? Do you know which room he's in?" I asked her.
"Same one as Bobby." Rogue said. "Just over there." She started to walk off, but I called her back.
"Where am I staying?" I asked.
"Your old room was rebuilt into another student dorm. So you're staying in my room." She told me. "There are two beds, since Storm used to stay there. But she moved into Nightcrawler's room after they got married, so the second bed's empty. It's five doors down from Bobby's room, on the other wall." Then she left.
"Thanks!" I called after her. I turned, and tried to remember which one was Douglas's room.
Douglas's POV:"Nice." I said. "I'm basically a Were-griffin. Wings and claws."
"Cool." Warren said. "Hey, is Sam here?"
I felt a pang of jealousy. "She's talking to the professor. How come everyone knows her?"
Warren raised his eyebrows. "You don't know?"
"Know what?" I asked. "I know she was here before, but still."
"She was the leader." Warren explained. "Teacher, leader, friend. All that stuff. The professor was the real leader of course, but she did all the out and about stuff. Since he's in a wheelchair and all."
"Yeah." I said, my mind spinning. "She was the leader."
"Yep." Warren said, eyeing me. "How do you know her?"
"I've known her for three years." I said. "She's my best friend."
Warren smiled. "Nice."
There was a knock on the door, and then it opened. Sam walked in. "Warren!"
Warren turned, and smiled at her. He wrapped her in a hug, then let go. "You're back!"
I was getting so tired of all the guys hugging Sam. I admit, I was very jealous. Seriously, why did all the guys have to hug her?
Sam looked at me.
Oh no. Did she read my thoughts? I tried to picture a blank wall. Think of nothing. Don't give yourself away.
"I see you found your room," was all Sam said.
Phew.
