Charles POV

I am surprised to find the mysterious young woman from my earlier presentation in my presence much less at this bar. Not only surprised but flabbergasted and dumbfounded. Seeing a not only witty yet fetching girl answer my question with such detail left my mouth agape much like how I am at this present moment. Keep your cool Charles old boy. Play it cool.

I clear my throat before saying, "Why hello there. Fancy meeting you here."

"Um hello professor. We meet again huh." She said shrugging before her eyes made contact with mine.

They were beautiful. Brighter than the stars. They were captivating. To be honest, she was quite a sight. I appeared to have been lost in thought before returning to the present and the now.

"Why yes it appears we have. And might I say I was quite  intrigued by your ingenious explanation on Mutant Biology. Where did you aquire such knowledge?" I asked curiously.

Curiosity did kill the cat but, it is wrong of me to ask something that I have interest in? Someone with such a knowledge interests me. She interests me.

"Well first of all thank you, prof..."

"Please call me Charles." I say with a wink.

"Uh huh. Well I happen to major in the neurochemistry of humans and also mutants. The brain being the control center of the body it regulates the other bodily functions. You learn a thing or two about genes in this field. It never hurts to know two different anotomies." She grinned seeming very comfortable and confident in this field.

"Yes of course. Science minds think alike I suppose!" I lift my glass of beer in the air. "To science!" I chug what all I had in the glass and pound it on the table. "Give me another one Roger! Oh and one for this lovely lady."

Little did I know that the alcohol was slowly getting to me.

The woman now had wide eyes of confusion and replied, "Um thank you but I don't drink. I think I established that with Roger over there."

My eyes never once left her. Her figure was stunning, if I do say so myself. It was becoming less clear whether I was normal or drunk. I didn't know anymore. The drinks added up but my focus was on the woman instead of being conscious about how much I was drinking.

"Aw that's rubbish! Every one likes a drink once in a while! Even an intelligent beauty such as yourself." I look into her eyes and give a chuckle, taking another swig from my glass.

"Well I'd love to stay and chat but I think I should be on my way." Says the woman with a forced smile. Was I making her uncomfortable or playing hard to get?

"Hey Roger, I'll take that burger to go, please." She said getting up taking her wallet out to pay.

"Oh no no no! Stay awhile!" I look around the room and notice a stage for karaoke. "Come on let's go sing!" I grab her arm and start pulling her toward the stage.

"Hey! What on Earth do you think you are doing?!" She shouts but what she says seemed to go through one ear and out the other. She jerked her hand back, unlocking it from my grip but I don't stop until I was on the stage. An old man was already up there singing Broken Wings.

"Alright I think that's enough old bean." I take the microphone from the man and clear my throat, "Alright everybody! This song goes out to that amazing woman over there! Ahem...

But if you like causing trouble in hotel rooms and if you like having secret little rendezvous, if you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do, then baby, I'm perfect, baby I'm perfect for you!!!"

I look up and see the woman with a face as red as a tomato. Her cheeks were beat red. She covered her face with her hands, putting them on her cheeks. I watched her snatch the to go bag prepared by Roger and walked towards the exit.

"Wait! Miss! I'm so into you, into you, into you!" I drop the microphone and sprint after her, catching her before she leaves. "I don't even know your name!"

"Maybe someday I'll tell you, when you're sober!" She replies, storming out of the bar.

I slap my hand on my forehead and sigh. Turning around I notice everyone staring at me. Raven being one of them. She seemed shocked from the looks of it.

"I don't know him..." she whispers to the people.

After I watched her storm off, I almost got slapped by the door as I peered my head halfway through the door. I was in a predicament. I hiccuped before wobbling my way to an empty seat. Raven walked off somewhere, hiding herself in the crowd. She was always great at doing that. With her abilities, losing her in a sea of faces was like finding a needle and in a haystack. It's almost impossible to notice.

Many people directed their attention towards me and then slowly relocated their focus onto whatever it was they were doing. I quite frankly didn't know how I got into this state, even though I knew I was drunk. That was obvious. How many drinks did I have?!?

I was intoxicated by the alcohol yet I was enchanted by her. In the moments I was with her, I couldn't refrain myself from giving out a few flirtatious remarks. I say a few but in reality I had no idea what I had said to her. My head was started to get fuzzy and I was now seeing double.

Even though I flirted with her, she didn't seem to pay attention to the fact that I was flirting with her. Most women did. Although I wasn't in the best position to flirt, I could see she wasn't impressed by my remarks. I should've done the usual mutation remark. It would have been a total different reaction from her. I might've gotten her number even or even her name.

My eyes couldn't leave her, they were attracted to her. I was attracted to her. Evidently, I told her so due to the alcohol in my system. It had taken its toll. This is why I don't go to the bar. Even though I had gone before, this was the first time I had gotten this drunk.

I hiccuped before realizing that I was totally wasted. I had drank too much and lost my only chance of giving a proper introduction. My vision was somewhat blurrier than before but I noticed someone put down a glass of water in front of me. I heard a clank instantly surprising me. I squinted my eyes to see a man in front of me. The image wasn't clear but at least I could tell if it was a he or she.

He sat down in front of me before saying sternly, "Drink it. It will snap you out of your state and make you less hungover and drunk."

I chuckled before saying, "I'm not drunk, I just need to sit for a while."

He scoffed before saying, "Look twinkle toes, just drink it and dotn pretend. You are wasted. Now drink it."

I looked at him with a surreal face. I finally took the glass and drank the water as if I was in a desert, my throat all dry and desiring the water to refresh me. I drank all of it, not leaving a single drop in the glass. My dry throat felt the water slide down slowly before realizing I was talking to a mere stranger.

"Thank you for the drink but I assure you I'm fine. I can get home by myself." I stated strictly before hiccuping again.

I could taste the alcohol in my tongue and in my tastebuds before hearing his voice say, "You won't make it and you know it. Don't get your knickers in a twist and act reasonable. You won't make it home like this alone. Face it, your completely wasted."

When he said that I knew that I had recalled someone saying that. "Don't get your knickers in a twist." Hmm, I began trying to recollect myself and my thoughts but it wasn't working. I was drunk and I would need some assistance. He had said it. Twice. I was wasted. That's when I remembered I wasn't alone, Raven had come with me. Raven. Where is she? Then I had it. I remembered that it was Raven who had said that. Raven?

"Who are you?" I said slightly curious, the alcohol made me chuckle as if he had something funny.

That's when his eyes changed from brown to bright green. At that moment in time, I realized who that man was. It was Raven. Raven in disguise. She would've fooled me if she hadn't shown me.

"Come on Charles, you need to go home. You're wasted. " Raven said pinching her nostrils shut.

Was I that drunk?

Raven helped me up before we made it to the car. I heard her utter, "You really did it this time Charles."

I pouted as if I was a child saying, "But I'm really into her."

Raven sighed before saying, "You need to sober up Charles."

Raven closed the door and entered the vehicle before shapeshifting back into her human self.

I hiccuped asking, "Are we going to meet the beautiful woman in the bar tomorrow?"

Raven drove orderly before saying, "No! We are going home. I don't even think you'll see her again since you blew it and got drunk in the process of doing so."

I double blinked before losing track of time. My vision slowly started going black until the earth around me went to a halt.

"Charles. Charles." I heard from somewhere.

It seemed distant. Was I far from whoever was calling my name?

"Charles!" I heard louder this time before feeling the friction of a hand slap my cheek.

I immediately opened my eyes to see Raven struggling to take me inside. Raven wasn't usually the one in this position, but it seems that the tables had turned. I would find out what I had done later on since I wasn't thinking straight. I wasn't thinking at all.

Blaire's pov

I couldn't believe that professor! You would think that someone who educates people would also be educated enough to not embarrass a person they just met. Or to even be a good example to his students and alumni. I embarrassingly made my way out of the bar not wanting to show my face ever again. I didn't want anyone to see me. I felt so frustrated.

As I made my way back to the campus, I got the keys for my apartment and headed there. I had talked to the head of the university and made it clear that I wished an apartment with the criteria I had stated before. I wanted a single apartment without having a roommate. Roommates were just too much and I wasn't a fan of sharing my room with someone. I'm fine by myself, thank you very much. I was strictly a person who prefered to study alone in their room. No noisy music, no parties, no dancing. Just me, this room, and my studies.

All I wanted was a meal and I ended up being embarrassed in front of everyone by a not so bad looking professor, who decided it was best to get drunk!!! I was furious. He seemed like a gentleman and those eyes were very alluring but he certainly wasn't what I expected. He was a good for nothing . . .oh, this made my blood boil. This was why I didn't like bars, or for that matter the idea of having a beer!

Never in my life had I been this embarrassed and angry. It was all I could think about. I knew I couldn't dwell on this moment because it was now the past. I had humility but never had it been so difficult to forgive this person. Even though he was drunk and wasted by alcohol, I wouldn't dare see his face again or talk to him again. Heck, I didn't even know the man. All I knew was his name and that he was a professor. I decided that it be best not to bring this series of events if we cross paths again. I just wouldn't go through such a thing ever again.

I bit my lip as I realized how late it was. I immediately forgot about my hunger and that man and began getting myself ready for my first day of class tomorrow. I was always prepared and henceforth I would not go to sleep before I knew I had everything ready and prepared for tomorrow. The school seemed like a wonderful community of blossoming students who were now getting into a profession and becoming more serious people in the workforce.

I arranged my outfit and notes and papers. I would need to be like a dagger. Or at least like one. I would have to be sharp and I would need to be on point in everything. It was my responsibility to do my best in reflecting everything I knew to my fellow teachers and students. To be honest, I was quite nervous. It was a new school, new classroom, new teachers. Frankly, change scared me. It was something that was completely unpredictable and yet, it couldn't be contained nor controlled. Changes was always something that came no matter what. No matter the good or the bad, it was always there. It was always lingering in silence. A shadow left behind with every decision I made.

Yes, I may sound a tad overrated and be a little overreacting, but never let it be said that I wasn't prepared. Even if I was far from home and my family and friends, I would do my best to make new friends and make this my new home, even though I didn't start off like I hoped. Sometimes things happen but I would do my best to turns things back around. In not a quitter!

I looked over my shoulder to see the to go bag sitting on the table. I was reminded of the man I had met today. I said I wouldn't be reminded if him, but I couldn't just ignore it. The professor, a man whom I had never met before yet he was a sight for sore eyes. A man that equally intrigues me, yet frustrates me. And that man is Professor Xavier. Even though I woken dare say I was attracted by him, I can admit that appearances can be deceiving and that ,maybe, someday, he may be forgiven. But today wasn't that day. Today was coming to a near end and I couldn't be anymore serious in saying that I would never speak of these events tonight. And I would never see that man again, nor would I speak to him. Mark my words, I won't dare say a word to Charles Xavier. From now on, we are just people who come to the same school for our different reasons. Nothing more, nothing less.

Twist ending!!!! Oooh find out what's gonna happen next in the next update/chapter. Until then this Skye signing off baii!!!!
