Tuesday, 8:35 AM

Professor Summers was droning on and on about something that didn't interest you, something about the difference between refractions and reflections and such. You sighed, slumping into your desk chair. You were levitating a pencil a few inches from your desk by humming a tune as you watched the children play outside when a clawed hand was placed on your shoulder.

"Ach, Y/N, are you alright? You seem to be lorst in thought," Kurt whispered, giving you a gentle nudge.

You lost your concentration and dropped the pencil, making it clatter on the floor surprisingly loudly. Unfortunately, professor Summers heard this and turned his attention to you with a disapproving look.

"Boys, care to explain yourselves?" He said, arms crossed.

"Sorry professor, I just-"

"You can explain in detention, both of you this Saturday with professor McCoy for one hour." He said before turning back to the board to write something.

"Then why would you ask us to explain ourselves if-" He cut you off again "Two hours for you, Mr. Cassidy, you know your older brother Sean wasn't this much of a pain to deal with, look at him now, an X-Men, codenamed banshee. I'm sure he'd be disappointed in you."

Professor Summers went back to explaining how light would bounce around in a kaleidoscope and blah blah blah blah. You just pulled your hood over your head and sunk into your seat, staring daggers at Kurt as you thought about all the free time he just cost you.

"Z-zorry, Y/N, I didn't mean to, I was just asking if you vere okay?" He said sheepishly

"I was just bored, but now?  I'm pissed. Just shut up before he makes it-"

"Three whole hours, Mr. Cassidy!" You waited for him to turn his back before flipping him off, causing some of your fellow students to hold in a laugh. You turned back to Kurt, who seemed to have taken a page from your book and his face in his red hoodie out of shame.

You focused back on the outside, wistfully looking out the window at the children that used their powers for games. Now you were happy that you get to sit beside Kurt, he was your best friend after all, but sometimes he was just so chatty. Ever since the start of the school year you would both get into detention a lot. Sometimes for being rude, but most of the time for catching the wrong attention.

As you looked outside, you noticed that the front gates were closing and a busted up muscle car pulled up on the drive way. From the busted window you could see Logan, one of the institute's most decorated X-Men, smoking a cigar with a tired look on his face. The car stopped in front of the big double doors of the school and it wasn't until the passenger's door opened that you realized Logan wasn't alone in his ride. A girl stepped out, one you'd never seen before.

You tapped Kurt's shoulder and gestured for him to look out the window, seeing this everyone else close snuck some glances outside.

"Must vee a new student!" Kurt whisper-shouted excitedly.

You ignored Kurt and just kept staring. 'She's kinda cute' you thought. You noticed her torn up black jean jacket that hung over an AC/DC shirt, her vibrant emerald eyes that seems to be scanning everything around her, and her messy black hair flowing in the wind. She was the cute punk aesthetic that was just your type.

Like a creep you kept staring, and probably having the feeling of being watched, her eyes darted up and met yours, a soft frown on her face. The way she suddenly noticed you spooked you, and you couldn't think of anything but wave at her.

"What seems to be so interesting out there, Mr. Cassidy?" Professor one-eye asked, bothering you again.

"Uhh, nothing sir, just thought I saw someone I knew..."

"Be glad Professor Xavier put a limit to how long a student can be given detention, Mr. Cassidy."

After he turned around again, you looked back outside, but the girl was already gone, only Logan and his cigar was left by the car. This bummed you out. Something, no, someone finally interesting appeared on this boring day and it went just as soon as it came. Tough luck.

Thursday, 1:54 PM

After lunch, you decided to head to the game room of the mansion to join Kurt and Jubilee for a friendly video game session. You were a little late because you ran into Kitty, which meant a long lecture about submitting your work in time, she still hadn't let go of that, despite it being a year ago that you forgot to do your part in a group project.

As you were rushing down the hallway, you caught a glimpse of someone familiar out of the corner of your eye. It was the mysterious girl, walking through the crowd of students with her hands crossed and her head hung low. You were about to go check on her, but you got a notification from your phone.

A text from jubilee made you panic, as in the attached photo she is close to beating your record, captioned 'Too EZ'.

"Oh hell no!"

You looked back to the girl, but she was already gone. You didn't want to miss the chance to unwind and have fun with Kurt and Jubilee. Even more, you didn't want jubilee to get a better speed run of the newest Street Fighters game. You hoped that you'd seethe girl again later and have a better opportunity to talk, but a man's pride is fragile, and he will do anything to protect his title of best videogame player in the school.

Friday, 2:12 PM

During the break, you were hanging out with your friends near the school's main courtyard. You were laughing and having a good time when, once again, you spotted her from a distance. She was standing by the fountain, looking around as if searching for someone as she oddly sniffed the air.
