Charles was the last one to get there. Erik brought his sandwich and the milk, as requested. And Hank brought a salad.

"Who starts?" Asked Hank
"I do." Said Erik "1: I like my Magneto helmet. 2: I have worked with metals before. 3: I've had 3 children."
"You don't have 3 children?" Guessed Charles
"I'm with Charles." Said Hank
"Yay! You both won a point!" Said Erik as he clapped for his friends.

"I'm next!" Said Hank "1: I can run really fast. 2: I have a pet 3: I like Raven."
"You don't have a pet." Said Erik.
"But you do like Raven." Said Charles as he looked down in disappointment.

"Okay, my turn." Said Charles "1: I hate the colour yellow. 2: I can make Chilli. 3: I have a girlfriend."
"You don't have a girlfriend." Said Erik
"Yes I do!" Said Charles.
"Then which one's the lie?" Asked Hank
"#1, I hate the colour yellow." Answered Charles
"And our suits are that exact colour." Said Erik
"I've learned to cope with it." Said Charles
"Wait," said Hank "you can make Chilli?"
Charles blushed, but answered "Actually, it was more of a secret than a truth." He didn't notice that Hank took his bowl and tasted it.
"This is some good chili man!" Said Hank with a mouthful of chili. "Oh god it's also hot!" he quickly took Erik's bottle of milk and chugged it all.
"For your nickname to be Beast, you're really not that strong (with anything) in your human form." Said Erik.
The school bell was heard and Charles took this as his cue to leave, so he took back the bowl of chili and started running away.
"Where are you going?!" Charles heard Erik say in the distance.
"Um, I have a class to teach." Said Charles
"No you don't--"
"Bye" And Charles left them.

"So...wanna go in?" Asked Hank
"Sure" Said Erik and they started walking inside.
