"Kali! What are you doing?! You didn't even read it!"
*Kali didn't even glance at the other student as she watched the letter go up in flames.* "I didn't know that I had to..." *She dropped the rapidly burning paper to the ground, angrily stamping out the fire before tossing the remains in the wastebasket.*
"Whatever... You know, even for a mutant, you're a freak..."
"Yeah yeah yeah... If you knew my family then you'd understand. Trust me, you wouldn't read their letters either." *With that, Kali left the room, her blue eyes ablaze. She knew she wouldn't be able to calm down any time soon if she stayed locked up indoors. She made her way outside onto the lawn, chosing to sit down on a bench to relax for a while. She sighed and closed her eyes, listening to the sounds around her. She couldn't understand why her family even bothered to write her anymore. She had been at Xavier's school for years now and not once had they tried to visit her. The thought made her want to set everything in sight ablaze. She tried to push the thoughts away by thinking of a good prank to play on someone. However, she hadn't been plotting long when a sudden voice nearby startled her, making her nearly jump up from the bench.*

*Ryan had his hands firmly placed in his pockets as he paced the dorm room he was assigned to. He had a room mate but had not yet met them, but his thoughts did not sway to that of his room mate...more along the lines of what had pocessed him to come here in the first place. His fast paced mind reverted to the recent conversation with the Professor.*
"Your powers...are quite unusual, but the unusual is what we expect here: among the uncommon and otherwise strange."
"I get the point old man, why did you lock up my bike?" *He was filled with anger as his low toned voice rose. The Professor looked at him firmly and with a furrowed brow.*
"Ryan, you have been here one week and in that entire one week you have already commited two felonies. This type of behavior is not tolerable...therefore we have banded you from your bike until you see that we are here to help you, not force you to learn. Remember, you came on your own will with the yearning to learn...that is what we intend to do."
*The young mutant's thoughts jumbled in his brain as the words were yet repeated in his mind. Yes he had come here on his own will...he knew all the basics of schooling...reading, writing, arithmitic...but the yearn to control his powers was large: which is what drove him to come to the school. He ran his calused fingers through his thick hair as he snarled a growl, stopping his constant pace. He needed to get out of the indoors and get his thoughts together.*
*He had walked the school grounds quite a few times, observing the playing activities of the younger students. He was 19 and felt much out of place amongst the youngster and worked his way to the other side of the campus to come upon students more his age. There upon walking the borders, he came upon a girl sitting upon a bench. Her eyes are what first caught his attention...he felt the need to get to know somebody around here.*
"Do you always look that concentrated on the ground?" *He asked in his low tone from behind her. She jumped a bit and turned to look sharply at him, he noticed that his sudden appearance was not appreciated. He smirked and arched a single brow as he took a seat beside her.*
"Sorry, forgive me for breaking your concentration...I did not realize the ground could be so captivating." *He continued in a sarcastic remark...hoping to bring a smile on the girls face...but alas none.*

"Do you always look that concentrated on the ground?"
*Kali turned sharply to see who was interrupting her scheming. She didn't expect what she saw. Another teen stood there, smirking at her. She was surprised that he would be speaking to her since he seemed to be a few years older than her. Her eyes quickly roamed over his rather dark features, searching for some hint of his intentions. He took a seat next to her but her eyes never left him for a second.*
"Sorry, forgive me for breaking your concentration... I did not realize the ground could be so captivating."
*Kali's temper flared once again.* "More captivating than your ugly mug." *Kali quickly bit her lip, immediately regretting her words. She was overreacting... He wasn't doing anything wrong... She rapidly placed her hand on his arm to keep him from leaving before she could apologize. Once assured that he wasn't going to run off on her she dropped her arm again. She sighed and ran a hand through her dark curls.* "Sorry... I didn't mean that... You just caught me at a bad time..." *She leaned back against the bench again.* "Seat's still free if you don't want to rip my arms off or something. I seem to have that effect on people."

"Sorry... I didn't mean that... You just caught me at a bad time..."
*Ryan looked to her, his smirk fading, returning back to his seat. Looking to her a bit more warily than before. She wasn't in the best of moods, he came with that conclusion from her comments on his looks. He let out a sigh and watched her as she began to play with the him of her sleeve.*
"Seat's still free if you don't want to rip my arms off or something. I seem to have that effect on people."
*He smiled at this remark letting out a quick but humble laugh as he looked in the opposite direction, watching the other students as they walked by.*
"So...how long have you been in this god forsaken school?"
*Yeh, it was a puny question, but it was a shot at a conversation, maybe even let her relax a bit. He could sense how tense she was.*

*Kali heard the boy laugh next to her. It set her at ease a little, knowing that he wasn't too angry at her for her comment... Still, she felt bad about having insulted him so quickly. Not only was the statement false, but it was also the meanest thing she had said in a while. It looked as though she still hadn't gotten over her old habit of hurting people.*
"So... how long have you been in this god forsaken school?"
*Now it was Kali's turn to smirk.* "Apparently you're not a big fan of this place... Well, you'll get used to it soon enough... It's not that bad really. I should know. I've been here over four years." *She paused to glance over at him, her blue eyes once again roaming over his features.* "When did you arrive?"

"When did you arrive?"
*Ryan let out a blow of air as he scratched his scruffy chin. He turned to the girl, since he was leaning forward on his knees he had to look back slightly over his shoulder.*
"Its been a week..."
*He said in a more muffled voice as if to convince even himself it had been a week. The girl did not reply so he straightened his posture and continued looking ahead of him.*
"And already they have taken my motorcycle and condemned to remain here."
*He said smirking a bit and turning to her. She looked away quickly. Ryan could see she was younger, but he could not guess her age. He was so used to be self conscious around non mutants that he stuck his hands in his pocket to hide the thick black hair that had grown on top.*

*Kali looked away as he turned to look at her but not before catching the smirk on his face. She smiled slightly and dropped her gaze to the ground again.* "Yeah... The Professor has some strange ways of dealing with things... I still can't understand why he won't let me set fellow students on fire..." *She grinned and shot a quick glance at the older boy. She was beginning to feel a bit more relaxed around him but she still noticed that he wasn't quite as comfortable. She glanced down at his pockets where he had hidden his hands. She paused a moment, looking at his face again, trying to choose her words carefully.* "You know... You don't have to hide here... This is the only place where we're safe... Enjoy it and trust in it." *She turned her gaze to some of the students passing by.* "Heh... I set everything on fire. My classmate is an albino with fangs and I know a kid that walks through walls... If you think a bit of hair is something to hide from everyone then you've definitely got some things to learn."

"Heh... I set everything on fire. My classmate is an albino with fangs and I know a kid that walks through walls... If you think a bit of hair is something to hide from everyone then you've definitely got some things to learn."
*He was a bit thrown off by her statement then he looked down to see she was observing his pockets shielding his hands. He was silent and slid them out eyeing them. He twisted his wrist as if to eye once more...almost as if he had never seen them before. He twirled a skull ring which wrapped around one of his fingers before looking up to face her, forcing a smile. His mutant blood was something he wanted to avoid.*
"Trust...its a hard thing to aquire--"
*His words were quickly cut off as he bit his tongue before saying anything else that may seem foolish to the girl. He could see she was relaxed an he wanted to keep it that way. She was one of the first he had come by that actual relaxed around him.*
"Four Years in this hell-hole and you actually enjoy it here?"
*He said breaking the silence. She nodded slowly looking towards him. Her dark curls fit around her curved neck perfectly...Ryan quickly looked away finding he was staring at her.*

"Trust...its a hard thing to aquire--"
*He stopped there, apparently not wanting to continue the thought.*
"Four Years in this hell-hole and you actually enjoy it here?"
*Kali turned her head to look at him again, nodding slowly. He stared at her for a moment before turning his gaze away again.* "It's better than where I came from. Here there's no one to fear you just because of your unique abilities..." *She frowned slightly, her thoughts once again turning to her family. However, she quickly pushed the thoughts out of her head. She didn't need to get angry again. After a moment of silence, Kali noticed that the boy had turned to look at her again. She quickly managed a smile and tried to relax again.* "Just give it a little while... It gets better. I promise. If you don't start enjoying yourself in a few days then I have failed in my duties. I've taken on the job of keeping the students amused... although I'm sure the Professor doesn't find it funny..." *She smirked, her bright eyes glittering playfully.* "So... I don't believe I ever caught your name..."

Angie stood in the hallway, nervously shifting her duffel from shoulder to shoulder. Patrick on the other hand stood calmly by her with his bag lying by his feet. She looked at him and asked planitively,"How can you be so calm?" Patrick grinned, "Relax sis. We got in right? So whats there to worry about?" Angie rolled her eyes,"I don't know. Maybe the fact that we're in a new place with new people?" Patrick smiled and slipped an arm around her shoulders and said,"You worry too much you know that Angie?" "Well after the treatment we got when dad found out we were mutants?" Patrick smirked,"Yeah. He just didnt see the upside of making as many ice cubes as you want...." Angie frowned and slapped him upside on the head and he ducked asking innocently, "What?"
She picked up her bag and said, "Best go find out where we'll be staying...." Patrick handed her his bag and said, "I'm gonna go scout around." Angie muttered "Brothers" under her breath and picked up his bag as well and tried to get up the stairs with a duffel over her shoulder and another one in her hands.

"So... I don't believe I ever caught your name..."
"Ryan."
*He said kinda matter-a-factly, he figured she might be waiting for a last name but, considering his past his last name meant nothing and he soon disgarded it. He turned to her and smirk.*
"And yours?"
"Kali."
*She said almost as simple toned as he did. He rose an eyebrow and pouted his bottome lip out a bit.*
"Well, Kali, I do believe you have succeeded in your duties, Miss. Kali."
*He said straightening up against the bench. She looked to him slightly puzzled, her eyes still held a twinkle which Ryan noticed before, almost like a flame.*
"What?"
*She asked in a confused voice. He stood up and looked to her with a smirk.*
"I hope to meet up with you again, but for now I probably should go see if my room mate is back."
*Without another word said he started walking towards the school and around the fountain, entering the school.*

"I hope to meet up with you again, but for now I probably should go see if my room mate is back."
*With that, Ryan walked off, leaving Kali alone again and confused. However, she couldn't help but smile. He certainly was interesting company. Hopefully he would give the school a chance... He certainly had managed to pull her out of her foul mood. Sighing, she stood up and made her way back to the main house. She passed a few of the other kids sitting around playing cards.*
"Care to join us for a game, Blaze?"
*Kali glanced at them with a slight smirk playing on her lips.* "Come on now, guys... You know that's too slow for my style. Besides, I'm not getting along very well with paper products today." *She heard a few of the teens that knew her snicker and she couldn't help but give one of her usual bright grins.*
"Suit yourself, pyro."
*When she reached her room, she simply flopped down on the bed, not bothering to notice if anyone else was there or not. She was too focused on her own thoughts.*

*Ryan walked through the halls, he had planted his hands once again in his jean pockets, but remembering what Kali had told him, he slid them out slowly, placing one at his side while the other rubbed his neck. He walked up a grand flight of stairs, the one which led to his dorm room and hurried up them, on his way passing a girl right in front of him walked out of the wall to his right, crossing the hall into the wall of the left. He stopped dead in his tracks, his mouth gaping.*
"What the--"
*Ryan ran his rough hands through his hair, knowing he was going to have to get used to all this rather quickly. He was used to being the only one with powers that he kept hidden and all these other kids which had different mutant powers, pretty much blew him away. Sensing a headache on the rise, he entered his small dorm hoping the room mate had not arrived, so he could unwind. To his advantage, no one could be felt in the room. He scanned the room with his senses, just in case. Ryan slid off his worn leather jacket and disgarded his black shirt revealing the hair on his elbows, and with some relief unwinding the tail as part of his being from around his waist. Just as he was about to switch on some music from the supplied radio, the door opened an in stumbled a boy with a duffle bag. He seemed a bit scattered with his thoughts as he set his bag down and look to Ryan with a risen eyebrows.*
"You must be...Ryan, correct?"
*He said, Ryan looked at him with a frown, but realized this one was to be the one he roomed with he relaxed a bit and nodded solemly.*
"Ah, good then I have the right room. My name is Patrick, the professor told me you would be my room mate."
*Ryan looked the boy over, wondering what his powers might be...and what else had the Professor mentioned to him. Just the thought of the Professor saying anything made his muscles tense as he forced a smile on his face.*
"Well, Patrick...." *he shrugged* "make yourself at home."
*The boy nodded...he seemed rather comfortable around Ryan already.*
(hope you dont mind sweety that i used him, if you dont like the idea or have other plans tell me i'll change it)

(definetley don't mind ^^)
Patrick came back inside brushed a few stary leaves out of his dark hair and frowned as he saw his duffel lying at the top of the staircase. Boy Angie was gonna pay for that one. He raised her duffel to his shoulder and plucked a small piece of paper from his pocket. His roommate's name and room number.
He poked his head into the room and said easily,"You must be Ryan right?" He grinned as he nodded and continued, "Then im in the right room. Ma names Patrick, the proffesor said you'd be ma room mate."
He replied to Ryan's "Make your self at home" "Don't mind if I do..." He tossed his duffel on the empty bed and looked out the window a few minutes admiring the view. He leaned against the window sill and asked, "What kinda powers have yah got?" Ryan raised an eyebrow in defense as he answered with a question, "Do you always speak in that accent?" Patrick shrugged, "Tis a habit now. What would yah expect when a person's migrated from Ireland to the land of red,white and blue?" He grinned impishly as he said, "But if yah don't wanna tell yah powers. How about tellin me a mit about this place...."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Angie knocked lightly on the light wood colored door before stepping inside. No one was there, but there were signs that another persom was staying there. That was obvious from all the items that were strewn around the room. She peek on the name on the book "Kali..." Weird name she thought and snorted. She was one to talk. A nickname like "Angie" wasn't really common. She began to stuff her itemsinto the empty drawers of the night table that stood next to her bed.
She pulled out some of her clothes, smoothed them out and wondered where to put them. She jumped slightly as Kali walked in and plopped on her bed. Angie sincerly wanted to go over and wave her hand in front of her face to see if she was still there. But she was genuinely lost in heavy thoughts.
She sighed as she hung her clothes in the small empty closet in the corner. It wasn't more wide then 3 and a half feet in width and around 6 feet in height. Half the closet was for hanging clothes and the rest to put in folded. She stuffed her empty duffel under her bed and looked up at Kali who was still brooding. Angie coughed slightly and said "'Ello."
((They [also] have slightly British/Irish accent....so please don't mind the lapse's))

"Ello."
*For the second time that day, Kali jumped. She was beginning to wonder if people just liked startling her. She glanced over at the other side of the room where another girl was standing. She must have been there for a while since all of her things had been put away. That portion of the room had been vacant for a week or two. Once again, her eyes roamed over the stranger, taking in her appearance. She looked to be older as well but only by a year or two. Kali quickly put on a smile.* "Hey there. You must be my new room mate." *She sat up straight, running a hand through her hair to tame her curls.* "I'm sorry I didn't notice you... I've had a lot to think about today. My name's Kali. Kali Blake. Welcome to mutant high." *She gave a grin, hoping that she would like this newcomer. She hadn't exactly gotten along with her last room mate...*
