N/A: Kurt Waggoner has no idea how to talk with girls, in fact, I saw texts about how prodigies can feel alienated from the others sometimes and I want to try to make this. Kitty having normal intelligence and Waggoner being the genius.
Walking through the halls Kitty noticed how the school is different from her previous one. For start, everything seems to give a sense of modern Hogwarts(Kitty is a bit concern for the security of the school if it gives Howgrat´s vibes) and the silence of the halls make it very impossible to ignore.
Speaking in silence, Waggoner is very much speaking when he must to, the hoodie is still on and the boy refuses to make eye contact with Kitty, for a moment, the girl thought she did something to offend him, but, having a good memory make the girl realize she did nothing to warrant the bad treatment and she won´t stand in silence like Waggoner.
“Hey!” the silence is broken and the status quo can´t be kept as Kitty crosses her arms and gaze at him “Did I say something? You are not even looking at me. If you don´t want to be here...if you Ok, I can manage on my own” a fat lie but is better than a silent and broody boy.
Waggoner takes off the hood and shows a purple face staring at him. The boy takes a deep breath and speaks, mentally noticing that Darkholme makes this seems easier. Speaking with girls shouldn´t be an issue for a boy who saves the world.
“Sorry, I´m really, really shy and I guess I was being rude back then” he apologises clearly imaging Alisson being displeased by such treatment given to this young girl and later his family would tease him if they ever find out. “I´m your guide and I should speak more, sorry, can we try again?”
Kitty nods “I accept your apologies and is ok, everyone is a bit shy too” and smiles as now they walk together and Waggoner´s mind is trying to comprehend this fact, a girl of his age is talking with him? Damn, Darkholme makes this seem so easier.
“Ok, so this is the science lab I where the new students can work on their projects for the selective, but you have time to choose yours” Waggoner then explained the system of the academy you pick your own subjects and takes time to study on those subjects.
The academy can be a boarding school for those who wish, but, in Waggoner´s case he didn´t take this route “I would miss those guys” and Kitty can relate to that as she didn´t pick this option either.
They are entering in the cafeteria, well, the fanciest cafeteria Kitty ever saw, when a bunch of kids are looking at Waggoner with resentment and the later did notice the group.
“Congratulations, Waggoner, you won again” the boy around his age congratulate in a sarcastic fashion that anyone can see.
“ Yeah, I work hard for it” Waggoner respond with a fake smile.
“ Listen you, Kraut, I will take the first place from you even if is the last thing I have to do” The boy vows with his hands glowing and Kitty can´t remember a time where any student would be that focus on a test, not even the most nerd one of her old school.
“Hey!” Kitty intervenes holding the boy´s now glowing hand and Waggoner “We are in the cafeteria. A place to eat and be happy not to talk about tests, so, take a chill pill will you?” Kitty speaks and the boy looks at her as if she´s an alien.
“Whatever, this is not over Waggoner, not over” the boy leaves with his group and Kitty look at Kurt as trying to understand what just happened.
“Ok, so, in this school, we have a club for the most...smart ones “ Waggoner blushes and scratches his neck “ Uhm, many want to enter in the club but is not to everyone...I´m the club and not everyone is alright with this”
“Because they are buttholes?” Kitty asked and Kurt only gives a tiny smile that is real this time. “something like that, I must warn you, this is a very competitive school” then Waggoner completes “especially now that Canada is opening another genius school, we will have to prove who is the best again”
Kitty suddenly realizes she is a dumbass for choosing this school because is pretty. That´s why her mother was trying to say.
“Waggoner, my good blue friend, does this school ever want a dumbass?” Kitty asked simply as internally she´s screaming. Yep, Kitty Pryde is far from being a genius.
