When we got to the school, my jaw dropped open completely. The school was amazing! We walked up to the door and knocked.
"Hello, ah, Scott. How are you? And who is this?"
"This is Z, Professor X. I met her running from people that work for Stryker. She has telekinesis."
Professor X stuck his hand out and I shook it. "It's very nice to meet you, Z."
"Please. Believe me when I say if I didn't bump into Scott, I'd still be on the run. So the pleasure is mine Professor."
He led us inside and showed me around.
"And this'll be your dorm. You'll share it with shadowcat."
"Shadowcat?" I saw a girl's head pop out of the closet without the door opening. I let out a small scream.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Did I scare you?"
The rest of the girl phased out of the closet.
"Uh, yeah. You scared me a bit. I'm Z."
"Is Z a nickname or something?"
"Don't know. Mom was killed before I actually knew her."
"Oh. I'm Kitty Pryde." I shook her hand.
"Well make yourself at home."
"I don't really have any bags. Or clothes. Or any possessions in that matter, so I hope you don't mind if I borrow some clothes. Well except for this Yo-yo my mom gave me." I dropped the Yo-yo down, did a trick, then pulled it back up.
"Okay." Kitty hopped on her bed and opened a comic.
"Z, if you need anything, just ask Kitty. Or Logan." Professor X pointed to a man walking past. I looked at me and nod his head as in sup. I nodded back.
"Kay." I walked into the dorm room and closed the door without touching it. Kitty's mouth dropped.
"You're telekinetic. I only know 2 people in the academy that can do that. Professor X and Jean Grey."
"Who's that?"
"Doesn't matter. You'll find out soon enough. So, how old are you?"
"17. You?"
"15. Hey, I, like totally, want you to meet someone!"
Kitty pulled me out the door, down the hall, and knocked on a door.
"Who is it?" someone asked from behind.
"Kitty."
The door opened and a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes stood in the doorway.
"Hey Kitty. Who's your friend?"
"This is Z. She's new and has telekinetic powers."
"Cool! I'm Bobby A.K.A. Iceman."
"Hi Bobby. So, how old are you?"
"17."
"Oh, well I'm 17 also. So, how is it here?"
"It's good, it's good."
Awkward silence. I'm not very good at talking to people, me being me and all. I'm used to going off on my own.
"Hey, do you know Scott?"
"Yeah."
"Are you friends with him?"
"Yeah we're cool."
I nodded. I rocked on my heels. "Well, bye." I turned on my heels and walked back to our dorm.

"Why did you take me to Bobby's dorm?" Kitty and I were in our dorm reading some comics.
"I took you there to make some friends."
"Well, I don't make friends that well. You see, while I wasn't here, I didn't really talk to anyone, so talking to Bobby was very awkward."
"Sorry."
