Good afternoon, I'll be your transfer student for today

[xp_wallflower]

Does anyone ever write a good first introduction? There's always that whole 'God, what am I going to say?' moment of awkwardness, isn't there?

Do I put 'Hi, my name's Lauren.' or 'Hey, this is Laurie and I'll be your new transfer student for today'? That last sounds like I should be saying something along the lines of 'Do you want fries with that?' though. Which is funny, because I was only talking to my friend Helen last month about how I couldn't decide if I wanted to get a part time job at McDonald's or not.

I can still do that, right? Because, much as retail is not exactly my 'career choice of a lifetime', it does give me money for things. (Clothing, a car when I get my driver's license. Okay, maybe not a car but one can dream.) And it beat wearing a chicken suit and standing outside a department store selling their 'crazy prices'. On the minus side, my hair will smell like fries at the end of the day.

So, as you may have realized by now, being psychic (It's funny because it's true! At least of some of you, anyhow.) my name is Laurie. Okay, it's really Lauren but only my Mum calls me that, and only when she's truly peeved at me. (Breaking the best china vase playing tag with the dog levels of peeved.) I'm a transfer student from the local high school (Go Salem Center Rams!) Wow, that sounded special. Truly, I do not win at Cheerleading. Always knew there was a reason I picked cross country running instead.

I assume at this point, it's probably a good point to tell you what my mutant power is. I do this thing with pheromones, don't really understand it much myself right now, something to do with how I smell, affecting people physically. Um, people who know about this kind of thing and are good with the explaining of such, help?

Anyway, that's me. I guess I'll see you all in class at some stage, or around.

That's alright. I'm more liable to poison myself since I'm taking cooking classes. And that's a power I've got to see. It's sort of overwhelming to see so many different types of mutation in one place. I had no idea there was so many kinds.

Heh. I was the only mutant I knew when I started here, so I hear you. You get used to it pretty quick, though.

*ponders things to ask him since he's assistant groundskeeper type.* Is there anywhere I shouldn't go? Or, rules written down somewhere for the grounds? I forgot to ask the Professor when he was explaining everything.

Most of that stuff's in the student handbook, which if you didn't get a copy I can run one over.

Professor Xavier gave me all this stuff when I enrolled. I haven't had a chance to sit down and read it all yet. I kinda saw the stuff about creating a journal and dived right into that first. *needs to go read rest of the handbook*
