Late Night Arrival

The time spent "talking" with Jean, packing up, and actually driving to the academy amounted to the rest of the day. I was still a bit nervous, not that my organs would be for sale, but of being thrust into a completely new environment with no familiar faces. I didn't have a lot of friends at Bayside to begin with, so starting from scratch with social skills equivalent to a self-conscious book of bad puns was a bit daunting. It helped that everyone at the school had common ground in being a mutant, so I wouldn't be the only weirdo anymore, and at least one of the residents had already proven herself very accommodating.

Jean went to speak with the Professor, while Scott showed me to the men's dorm.

"You'll be sharing a room with Kurt. He looks a little different from you and I, so try to be respectful." Scott explain vaguely. Approaching a corner, we heard some sort of argument.

"Maybe if you'd stop leaving footprints on the walls, it wouldn't take so long to clean!" A girl's voice chided

"Well at least I don't leave footprints in the walls!" Came the mocking reply in a slight German accent

"Hey guys! This is Connor, the new student." Scott said loudly, seemingly used to this already.

The girl was a slim brunette who somehow still had perfect curves. God I love the X-Gene. The guy however, looked a lot more unique. Blue skin and hair, yellow eyes, and a spaded tail. Furthermore, he only seemed to have two toes or fingers per limb, not counting his thumbs. 'A little different' was an understatement.

"Guten Abend Connor, I'm Kurt" He confirmed

"Ah, Du musst mein neuer Mitbewohner sein."

"Du sprichst Deutsch!?"

"Ein bisschen, ja. Ich habe...uh, I've been learning for about a year now."

"Wunderbar! That would be 'Ich lerne seit etwa einem Jahr.' by the way. How amazing that my new roommate would speak my native language!" Kurt added helpfully

"I'm Kitty, hate to be rude but furball's already cost me enough beauty sleep. See you around" She shot Kurt a look, but left shortly thereafter.

"Furball?"

"My skin has been described as 'fuzzy'." He explained

"It's great that you two are getting along so well, but we should probably speed this up. You mind lending a hand Kurt?" Scott interjected, raising a handful of luggage.

"Not at all" Kurt said as he smirked at me

*BAMF*

"D-did he just teleport!?" I asked bewildered

"Yeah, that's his mutant power. In case you were wondering, I release beams of concussive **** from my eyes. I can't turn it off though, which is why I have these sunglasses." Scott explained

*BAMF*

"Teleporting, huh? I thought you stuck to walls or something?"

"That's just my natural agility, this is my gift." He clarified, now holding the rest of my luggage from the car.

*BAMF*

I heard it twice then, realizing why when Kurt opened the door he was just standing in front of.

"Thank you Kurt, really."

"Anytime Scott, I'm sure we can handle moving a couple suitcases a few feet anyways." Kurt replied taking the stuff out of his hands. "Come on, I can help you unpack if you want?"

"I was kinda planning to go straight to sleep and unpack tomorrow. It is pretty late and I don't want to oversleep after all." I said, setting down everything I'd been carrying

"That's a good call. Breakfast is at 8:30 but you'll probably want to get up sooner rather than later." Kurt agreed "Oh! If you need help finding something, like the dining room maybe, don't be afraid to ask, I know my way around pretty well by now."

"Thanks, I appreciate it."
