Puppy Shorts 1
[Jamie's Journal]
I always felt... well… lonely in the institute. I was the youngest of the group and everyone treated me like a baby. I hated it! I was always picked last for teams and Bobby would make me stay on the sidelines during a danger room session just because my powers were 'useless for fighting'. It made me so mad that I would play pranks on Bobby and the others who would treat me bad. 'hahaha' I even trapped them in the danger room and placed it on Logan mode!... the professor put me on lock down for that… but it really didn't matter because I wasn't allowed to leave the mansion because if someone would bump into me or if I ran into something, another me would pop out.
But all of that changed when Devlin came to the mansion! We're the same age and we have the same power!... well… kind of… instead of making other him's he makes wolves… but he can also light things on awesome blue fire and he said he can do something else called Umbrakenesis but the professor can't teach him it to him for some reason. He didn't tell me why he couldn't use it, but I'm guessing it's like Scott's eyes. Either way he's powerful and super cool!
When we first met I was a little upset at having to have a roommate, I didn't want to be stuck in a room with someone like Bobby or some other jerk teenager. But when I saw him I was… umm… there was a smart word Beast taught me… I think it was… elated that's it! I was elated that he was my age. It felt great knowing I was no longer the young one… well technically we were both the young ones… but now I wasn't alone!
Now don't start thinking I only like him because he was taking some of the mocking off me. That wasn't the case; he was very nice and considerate to me. Unlike the others he praised my power, said it was awesome to be able to see myself without a mirror. He's so cool and nice to me... it makes me sad to know he's an orphan … I know what it feels like to lose your parents…
You know what? I never thought about my parents since I came to the mansion… I miss them a lot… and after seeing how Devlin look's out the window at night… I think he misses his parents too. He always looks so sad and… and… !? I think I need to stop thinking now… weird thoughts I shouldn't be thinking about a boy let alone my roommate…
You know what! I'll invite him to play some soccer.
