Julianne sat at the front of the main hall along with the other staff. She watched as students slowly began filing in and taking their seats. She wasn't feeling the least bit anxious. More excited. She enjoyed teaching and the more challenging the students the better. And she had a feeling she would have her work cut out for her.

Paige sauntered into the main hall hoisting her backpack up onto one shoulder. She headed for a chair in the back of the room and sat down.
"Can these chairs get any harder?" she muttered.
She placed her backpack on the floor in front of her feet and leaned back.

Samantha yawned once again.
'Stupid jet lag.' she thought. 'Where's coffee when you need it?'
She opened her purse and popped her fifth piece of gum into her mouth. At least if she was chewing something she wouldn't fall asleep.
xxx
Jannik hurried in checking his watch, a half-full can of orange soda clutched in his hand. Ah good. He wasn't late. He joined the rest of the staff in the front. He leaned forward so no one could see him and took another sip of his drink before hiding it under his jacket. He looked back at all the students and grinned. They had no idea what they were in for.

Oscar sat arms folded smiling at the kids as they began to enter. He felt a little uncomfortable just sitting there, which was odd considering that he had been a performer for just about all of his adult life.
-------
Alicia strolled in and calmly made her way to the front. She managed to maintain a smile on her face somehow, despite just how tired she was, her entire flight here was spent with some kid kicking the back of her seat. But Alicia was determined to make a good first impression on her future teachers

Cassandra hurried in followed by Nick and Alex. Alex chose a place at the backso he could fall asleep without the teachers noticing. He didn't much care for first impressions. Cassandra took a seat near the front. Nick, who was singing softly to himself sat directly behind Cassandra.

The three Shea sisters were already seated. Emily was busily drumming her fingernails on the back of the chair in front of her. Amber looked like she was asleep and Kim was sending glares at both her sisters.
xxx
Larissa giggled as she picked up yet another stray thought. She hadn't meant to do it. In fact she'd been doing all she could to keep everyone else's thoughts out of her head. But today she couldn't. She was just too excited.

Steve came to the back and sat down where he immediately got to playing with his jacket bored out of his mind. He was not really interested in this but he had nowhere else to go.
***
Sandra sat as far away from the rest of the students as possible, especially Steve, the fact that they were both going to this school would drive her insane but she decided to avoid him long ago.

Marvin walked in and looked around "I hate assembles." He mumbled to himself and contemplated simply turning around and coming back later for a moment. He let out a sigh and sat in the first seat he saw, and prepared to doze off as soon as someone started talking.
-------
Adolf walked in and took a quick look around, to see if there was anywhere he could sit with no possibility of anybody making small talk with him. He found a small area with nobody sitting to close and made himself comfortable.

Lucy had been sitting in the hall long before anyone else. After arriving at the school, she had abandoned her bags in the nearest room and gone straight into the hall, avoiding everyone else along the way. She then sat down in the seat in the corner, hugging her legs and resting her chin on her knees. She closed her eyes, and waited as the other students slowly began to arrive. But everytime someone got near to her, she would open her eyes and give them a rather evil look. Which of course resulted in the person who had dared to get that close to her scurrying to the other side of the room in fear. But Lucy was only doing this because she had to, as long as everyone else stayed away from her, then nobody would get hurt.
-~-~-~-
Billy was also in the hall quite a while before anyone else too, but for a different reason. He had super-speed. But unlike the young woman sitting in the corner, who Billy never even noticed, Billy was very eager to meet everyone who entered the hall, and introduce himself to all of them. One such person was Steve. As soon as Steve sat down, Billy leaped into the seat next to him "Hi!" he beamed at his 'new friend'.
(Hehe, never noticed before, but I've got only got two students, but they're both total opposites. The tortured, anti-social girl who would kill anyone who got close to her, and... well, Billy)

Monique made her way in, making sure to stay a good distance in front of her brother. She sat down and immediately began looking through her purse for her mirror. She then began fixing her hair before blowing her self a kiss.
---------------
Daquan entered still angry that his sister got to fly first class and he didnt, but his mood quickly changed after looking around. He simply stood there checking out the girls for a few moments before making his way to a seat. He took one more look around at all the girls before kicking his feet up on the chair in front of him. "This is going to be a great year." He said to himself with a grin.

Steve looked at the small boy sitting next to him, his first instinct when hearing someone so happy was to say 'scram.' But this kid had a true innocence and happiness about him. He didn't want to crush him, "Hey, uh...what's your name? I didn't catch it."
***
Arthur finally arrived at the staff area where he sat in a chair and stood rigid with his head leaning on the back of the chair. He glanced at the other teachers. He glanced at Jannik he noticed him holding the can of orange soda under the jacket and gave him a rather crude sneer.

"I'm Billy" said Billy "You're Steve right?" he questioned, now explaining how he knew that or waiting for an answer to his question "So what's your power? I bet it's not as cool as mine, mine's the best." Billy didn't seem to care whether Steve was listening or not, he just kept on talking.

Dany strolled into the hall with the born arrogance of a fourteen year old, a stocky figure in torn jeans and a shirt featuring an angel bound in fragile chains who kicked the floor vindictively with her heavy motorcycle boots. Her violet gaze swept over the room and a hand adorned with a rather large piece of onyx set in silver raised a can of Dr pepper to lips.
She judged her seating for maximum annoyance for someone with a hint of spite and a touch of relief, at least when she was trying to annoy people it came as no surprise when they were annoyed. Dany gave Lucy a like for like glare and collapsed gracelessly into the chair next to the glaring girl with a lift to her chin that said she was there to stay.
She pushed the images of the plastic chair’s past away, highly disinterested in the manufacture of institutional chairs, and focused her gaze on the teachers.
Zola stood impassively, slightly behind the rest of the staff. She was home in so many senses of the word. She was out of that silly X-man racket and back into teaching where she belonged, she was out of Arusha city too, she might have been born there but England was her home in that she had been living there for most of her life.
Zola looked at her thoughts and saw that they were irrelevant, she also saw that they were good, and grinned and she flicked dark eyes over students and staff alike. Weighing them up in her mind. They would do.

Julianne took one last look around the room before making her way to the very front. She decided to do this now. She expected people would be coming in late anyway. She raised her hand letting the students know she was about to speak. And when she was sure she had their attention, she began.
"I promise this won't take very long." she said. "I'm basically going to quickly go over the rules and regulations. And if you have any questions you can ask either Zola or myself afterward. First thing's first, our rules are the same as every school. You are expected to show respect for your fellow students and staff. You are responsible for getting to class and completing assignments on time. Whether you actually do your assignments is completely up to you. Just remember any assignments you don't hand in will affect your overall marks. And if you are considering skipping class there are consequences for that too. You are also responsible for keeping your rooms clean. I've noticed some of you have pets. You're responsible for those too. That includes cleaning up after them. On the subject of rooms, most of you will likely end up with a roommate. Unless you have an extremely good reason why you need a single room. In that case you need to talk to the staff. Also, students have a right to privacy. You are not to enter another student's room without their permission first. We do have a curfew. You won't be expected to be in bed at that time but you do need to be in your rooms. Also the noise level needs to go down."
Julianne paused for a moment.
"And I think that's it. Unless you have anything to add, Zola."

Lucy was a little shocked when Dany returned the evil stare and sat down next to her, but her look of surprise soon turned into a small smile, it was very rare that she would meet anyone brave enough to come that close to her, as evidenced by the fact that everyone else was sitting at least five chairs away. But her smile didn't stay for long, as she noticed a group of people standing at the entrance to the Main Hall. Lucy then visibly began to panic, as she easily recognized one of the group. He was a mutant? Was it her fault? Could she actually do something like that?
Lucy quickly pulled her hood up over her head and started hiding inside it, continuing to ask herself more questions in her head, and not even noticing when Julianne began her speech.
-~-~-~-
The group Lucy had spotted were, of course, the X-Team. When Julianne began her speech, the team had stopped in the entrance, not wanting to interrupt. When the speech finished, Kingsley waved a hand at Julianne, mouthing the words 'Sorry we're late'. He then turned to look at Zola. He had a speech of his own to make, but he'd wait for her to add anything first.
"Hey, King" Matt whispered to the leader, as Kingsley leaned towards the boy "Are we gonna give these kids a show?" Matt grinned, eager to show off in front of the whole school.
"I'll leave that to you guys" Kingsley whispered back "But interrupt my speech, and you will die"

Steve looked at Billy before the speech started thinking about an answer than turned to pay full attention to the speech.
***
Ted walked out from behind Kingsley and Matt he looked at Matt in particular before saying, "Its not that amazing I kind of doubt they are going to be ooing and ahing at magnet blood over here."
He backed up preparing for reaction, "Myself I'm going to stay back here where I can't see their faces, wouldn't want to go mental on all of you."
He then finished with his final whispered retort, "The damage you do to yourself by using your power I would think you would want it under wraps."

Ed looked at his teammates, then fiddled with his glasses. "Well I figure we should give them a little bit of a show since King says its aright. It'll show them why we were picked to come here. And since its no secret mutants arent exactly well liked it should make them feel a little safer" He said keeping his voice down. "But I wont be doing anything, firing off a blast from my eyes, putting a hole in the wall, then falling on my arse wouldn't be good for anybody."
