SKYLAR'S POV
"I want you to take over the school when I'm gone," I heard Charles Xaviers voice come out of Richard's room. I walked closer to the room and peeked into the door.
"Where are you going?" Richard asked. As I looked closer, I saw Professor X wheeling around in his room.
"I'm going to visit an old friend,"
"Magneto?" Richard asked. Charles nodded.
"Take all the new mutants and everybody to the school. When you get there help Ryan and Jeremy run the school while I'm gone. I'll be leaving with storm and I'll be back in a week," Charles said as Richard opened the door. I quickly moved out of the way and turned invisible. Holding my breath, I watched them pass by and turned visible again.
I looked out the window watching the professor drive away with Storm.
"Julie!" Richard yelled, "Tell the others to pack up! We're going to the school,"
Julie told us all to meet in front of the door with all our stuff by 9 with her mind.
"If you're yelling that loudly, we can all hear you!" I yelled. Richard chuckled and went in his room.

"So this is the school!" I said to Erin, Trent, and Joe. I showed them their rooms and then we all retired. Not being able to sleep, I went downstairs to the kitchen.
"Can't sleep?" Startled, I made long metal blades shoot out of my knuckles and point at the person.
"Woah there. Remember, I gave you those," Ryan lowered my blades. I transformed them back into my hand.
"You scared me!" I said walking to the fridge. I poured a glass of milk and drank it.
"So what are you doing here," Ryan asked.
"Just couldn't sleep and I was thinking about Magneto,"
"That man isn't going to stay in prison forever. And when he gets out the first thing he's going to do is build up his mutant army. With the help of Peter of course,"
"I'm not going to say that Magneto is right but why do we mutants have to feel so threatened by humans? We are exactly like them and maybe even better. Why are we hiding?"
"We aren't hiding. We're just protecting ourselves,"
"From what?"
"Magneto,"
"Magneto is a mutant and Charles' friend. He would never hurt Charles and this school,"
"That man is unpredictable,"
I sighed, "You're right."
After finishing my drink, I went to my room and fell asleep.

"So if you can turn into anything you want, what's your real form?" Trent asked obnoxiously.
I transformed myself and became all white. There were intricate designs on my skin and my eyes became icy blue.
"It's a good thing you can transform into anything you want," Trent said. Even though I didn't show it, that hurt my feelings. For years, I've always kept my concentration on looking normal. Being my brother, Richard understood this and noticed what was going on.
"Considering that she can control metal and that you have metal all throughout your body, I suggest you don't say anything to tick her off. She can probably bring out the metal from your cells, turn you into metal, and then rip you into pieces. Just saying," Richard said as he winked at me. Trent's eyes went big and then he walked away.
"I'm going to be teaching some classes and you can tag along with me if you want," Richard said giving me a schedule.
"I'm not a child anymore,"
"So is that a no?"
"Well I see that you're teaching with Kristen and I'm not going to watch you guys flirt. The kids in the class would probably be gagging through the lesson,"
"First of all, we don't flirt. We just get into playful arguments. Second, she doesn't like me that way. Third, I'm not the one who made the schedule," Richard said as I smiled. It's so sad and annoying how much they like each other but they don't know it.
"If you're not coming with me then you'll be teaching a fight class with Jeremy,"
"Who?"
"He's a pretty cool guy,"
