hey guys, how'd you like the last chapter?

____________________________________________________________________________________

Recap: "do you think tomorrow i could to go get my things?" i asked.

"if you don't mind bringing someone with you...if you do not mind" Charles said.

"...okay" i said nodding.

"alright, then, I'll leave you to it then" Xavier said.

He closed my door and i sat on my bed and stared out at the pouring rain on the window, so this was my new home? hmmm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stared up at the ceiling, going over the events at dinner, we ended up having a food fight...my first ever food fight actually.

Flashback

i sat down next to Charles and Hank as Sean was bickering with Alex again. Erik was playing with some coin while staring blankly at the wall. Hank was reading a book. Charles was eating his steak. I stare at the food, when was the last time i actually had a full home made meal? I've actually never had this....okay rewind, when was the last time i had a decent meal? maybe a week?

"everything okay?" Charles asked

i blink at him and noticed all the boys staring at me. i tilted my head at them and blinked.

"sorry, what?" i asked.

"are you going to dig in?" Sean asked. 

"dig in..." i said trailing off.

Okay, so i don't know all the slang of the American language, but i knew enough to get me by. 

"eat, don't worry, it's hard to get his...slang" Charles said giving me a smile.

"oh, uh, yeah, sorry, sorry, i was just thinking" i said.

"About what?" Alex asked.

"when i last ate" i said, before i knew what was coming out of of my mouth. i blushed and mumbled a sorry.

"last time you ate? when was that?" Charles asked frowning.

"uh...well, i ate a hot dog about a few days ago" i said. 

"are you kidding me?" Erik mumbled.

"eat up" Charles said.

I made a plate full of mash potatoes, steak, and corn. i started eating, this was delicious. oh my god, who made this? i inwardly groan and finish my food in record time. 

"still hungry?" Charles asked.

"um, no, this is fine" i said awkwardly.

I couldn't eat too much, I'd probably throw it all up. I was never given much food before, this is probably one of the largest meals I've had. I felt something gooey on my cheek and i blinked, confused. i look up and stare Sean and Alex dead in the eyes. They froze and gulped, not sure what I'd do to them. the other's were waiting for my reaction. I decided to act mature and turn invisible. 

They all looked around, trying to spot me. Charles already knew, but pretended to act dumb for the time being. Charles sneakily put his bowl of gravy on the floor and i smirked. i grabbed it, making it blend into me. i walk over to them and poured it both on their heads. i reappeared and smirked. they playfully glare and got some mash potatoes and aimed it for me, but i ducked and it hit Erik in the face.

Erik then got on the spoons and filled them up with food and flung them at the poor boys. after that, all hell broke loose. food was flying and i turn invisible. i under the table, trying to hide from them. i felt someone poke my side, make me squeak. i reappeared and glared playfully at Charles. he smiled cheekily and i stuck my tongue out at him. 

"alright, i surrender!" Hank said groaning.

"now we gotta clean this mess up" Sean said groaning. 

"leave it until morning" Erik said.

"i agree" Charles said nodding. 

"get out from under the table, losers" Alex said teasingly.

End Flashback.

I stare up at the ceiling and hummed, i actually haven't had that much fun in awhile.  I know it seems like oh, your life isn't that bad, you don't understand. I don't want them to know or see how depressed I am, not at all. I don't want them to know everything that happened to me, it terrified me, they'd push me away like everyone else. Everyone else? there were a few people that had helped me and a few people that had left me, but I'll tell you all about that later.
