"Black!" Logan roared as I sprinted into the gymnasium. "You're late."
"I had to stay after class and talk to the professor," I said knowing full well he wouldn't care. "So how many laps?" I sighed
"Two and make it quick. You need to catch up with the rest of the class!"
Resignedly I made my way over to the outer perimeter of the gym. So Logan wanted these laps done quick, did he? I shuddered slightly and felt my wings begin to form on my back. Slowly they unfurled and stretched out to their full size. I hovered ever so slightly above the ground just to give myself an extra push as I ran. Too bad I only got a couple of feet before Logan barked, "And no flying!" Yes, this would definitely be a fun class period.
Luckily third period went by much more smoothly and I was in better mood by the time I reunited with Annie for fourth period German. Apparently we were supposed to have a new professor today and I could only hope he wasn't as much of a hard ass. Settling in next to Annie I prepared to have another class of goofing off with her. I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me. I actually am a pretty good student. I've always hovered around a 4.0. Unfortunately I just have some really bad study habits and taking a class with Annie always meant at least some degree of joking around; however, unlike Joey I was also able to get work done with Annie around.
This class was different. The minute the guy walked in I knew Annie had fallen hook, line, and sinker. Don't get me wrong. Professor Lehnsherr was pretty cute but something about him just didn't do it for me. Pouting I decided this would be a class where I really focused as it was unlikely Annie would recognize we were in the same universe let alone classroom anytime soon.
After class of course I had to tease little Anna Banana about her new crush the entire lunch period. It was about time I was able to get back at her after dealing with constant taunts about good old Charles Marbles as she called him. Lunch as always went by way too quick and it was back to academia for two more classes. Before I knew it, the day was over and I had nothing left to do but either do my homework or find Annie and pester her. I knew which one I planned on doing.
Showing myself into her room I made myself at home on her bed. Glancing at the clock I saw Annie wasn't due to get out of class until a good half hour from now. I might as well start on my homework. Opening my book I glanced at the chemistry homework. Immediately my mind flew not to thoughts of how balance equations or organic compounds but a certain professor's wavy brown locks. I tried to shake it off. I had to get the homework done didn't I? Come to think of it, leaving some questions blank might not have been the worst thing.
"Listen to me. Dumbing myself down like some bimbo," I thought disgusted with myself. I always vowed not to pull the dumb act for a guy. "But this isn't just any guy," the voice in my head whispered back. "You're just doing it so he has a reason to talk to you." I knew it wasn't the most viable excuse but it made me feel a little bit better. Setting aside my chemistry homework after leaving some of the more difficult questions blank I moved on to German. Luckily Annie chose that moment to come bounding in leading me to chuck away my German homework like it was on fire.
Turns out she had seen Professor Lehnsherr once again but had only had nothing but a boring civil conversation with him. I scolded her for being so boring. If we were going to be hopelessly infatuated with two professors one of us should at least be getting action! Eventually I was kicked out so she could actually do said professor's homework. I walked back to my room lazily not particularly wanting to go back there alone. I killed time by doing my German homework as well and then turned on the radio to let off some steam. Shaking lightly I let my wings roll out and spent the rest of the time until dinner dancing and flying about my room. The first day of school had gone alright but I was still a little ticked off on starting off Professor Xavier's class on a less than impressive note.
I met up with Annie for dinner and once again teased her about her tumultuous love affair with Professor Lehnsherr. Throughout dinner I kept looking around hoping maybe I'd catch a glimpse of Professor Xavier dining with the other professors but had no such luck. Eventually I gave up and followed Annie up to her room to have a lazy night of popcorn and movies. Not that I was upset to be spending time with my best friend but it seemed like she was having so much better luck running Professor Lehnsherr than I was running into Professor X.
At some point during the movie we must have dozed off because I was woken by Annie poking me continuously. Glaring at her sleepily I shuffled to my room. Unfortunately now that I was awake I knew I likely would be up for a while so I made myself some tea and changed into some warm sweatpants and a loose school tee shirt. I made myself comfortable in my own bed flipping on the television. Eventually I settled on a Kardashian's marathon and gave in to my penchant for trashy reality television as sleep slowly overtook me.
