I couldn't think of a better name for this chapter, so if anyone has an idea feel free to suggest it.
"…olf, hey Wolf! Wake up man!"
"Yah! Vake up! You don't vant to be late for lunch, do you?"
Wolf wanted the annoying voices to go away, but Pyro and Kurt shook him awake.
"Mmmph… food?" he asked.
Pyro laughed. "Yes, food. That's what lunch is for."
"Shut up," Wolf said groggily as he forced himself into a sitting position. Then he almost yelped. He had forgotten about his run in with Logan earlier.
Pyro noticed the wince. "Still sore, huh?"
Wolf glared at him and snarled, "Don't say a word!"
"Whoa, calm down! I wasn't gonna tease you! Trust me, Logan beats me a lot too. I mean, I can't even remember a week when I didn't do at least one dumb thing that got me into big trouble like that."
"I get it, too," Kurt added, "Though not quite so much."
Wolf looked at them skeptically. "In front of the class?"
"If I'm stupid enough to do something in his class, then yes. It's happened before to both of us, right Kurt?"
"Yah, but Pyro gets it more than I do. I'm not as stupid as him."
"Hey!" Pyro glared in mock-anger.
Wolf laughed. "Thanks," he said.
"No problem," Pyro said, grinning. "Now, are you ready for lunch? It'll start in a few minutes."
Wolf stood up and stretched. "You and Kurt go ahead. I'll be down in a few minutes."
Pyro looked at him, a little concerned. "You sure?"
"Yeah," Wolf smiled, "Don't worry about me."
"Okay," Pyro said, walking towards the door, "But don't come too late!"
"Ve'll save you a seat," Kurt said as he followed Pyro out.
"Thanks," Wolf called after them.
When the door was closed he stretched again and walked over to the small trunk that held his few possessions. He knelt in front of it and opened the lid. After rummaging through his stuff he pulled out a small velvet bag with a drawstring. He gently opened it and dumped the contents into his hand, sighing as he did so.
Logan glanced over the dining room. He didn't see any sign of Wolf. He sighed in annoyance. Was that boy still sleeping? He was about to go check when Wolf came sauntering through the door. He spotted Logan, gave a cheeky grin, then wandered over to where Johnny and Kurt were sitting.
Logan smiled. That kid was acting like nothing had happened. What a brat. Then, as he watched Wolf start to shove food into his mouth, barely using utensils, he realized that next he'd have to work on table manners.
After lunch they had about half an hour of free time. Wolf, Pyro, and Kurt went onto the lawn to lounge.
Wolf looked around and saw Bobby with Rogue and a few other students not too far away. He nudged Pyro.
"Hey, who're Iceman and Anna Marie with?"
Pyro looked up and shrugged. "Their friends. The skinny kid's name is Jimmy, and he can understand any language. The bigger guy, Zane, can control wind. Elysia, the girl, can make her body glow, or at least that's what I've heard. I've never actually seen it. Why do you care?"
"Hmm." Wolf thought, "I was just wondering." He had a puzzled look on his face.
"Well, I don't care less who Bobby hangs out with," Pyro said with distaste.
"C'mon, Pyro, he's not that bad," Kurt said.
"Not to you. I just can't get along with him."
"And what about Colossus?" Wolf asked, "Who does he hang out with?"
"What? I don't know, pretty much everyone, like Kurt does."
"And Kitty?"
"Vell, she usually follows Colossus. I think she likes him, but he doesn't know that," Kurt answered.
"Why do you want to know all of a sudden?" Pyro asked.
Wolf turned to him. "It's nothing," he shrugged, "Just want to know what goes on, that's all." The puzzled look never left his face though.
As they were heading to their next class, Wolf was bumped from behind.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" a girl said when he turned around, "I am just soo clumsy sometimes!"
She smelled strongly of perfume, and Wolf was immediately repulsed, but didn't show it. He always tried to be polite with ladies. "It's alright."
She gasped. "You must be the new guy! You're kinda cute!" she said, as her eyes wandered over his body.
Wolf coughed. "Yes I am. My name is Wolf."
"I'm Karin," she said.
"Nice to meet you. I have to go to class now." He tried to get away.
She giggled. "Okay, I'll see you later, Wolf!"
"Bye."
She walked off with a group of girls who all started shrieking and laughing as they moved away.
Pyro snickered. "Ten bucks says that wasn't an accident."
"I'd be an idiot to bet against that. Who was she?"
"Only the biggest slut in school, and she seems to have the hots for you."
"Oh great."
"The worst part is, her power is invisibility, so you'll never know if she's watching."
Wolf scoffed. "Are you kidding me? I could smell that perfume a mile away!"
They continued on to chemistry and managed to ignore everything that Prof. Hank said.
