Chapter 2: Boy Meets A Problem

"Kurt? You good buddy?" Scott asks as they sit in class. "Hm?" Kurt hums as he turns towards his friend. "Vhat?" Kurt's eyes are half lidded and the only thing on his mind is, Ginny. "Dude are you alright? You were acting weird earlier. In fact, you're acting weird now." Kurt sighs. "I met zhe most beautiful fraulein I've ever see. And I get to see her again during lunch." He sighs again. "Izn't it great?" Scott furrows his eyebrows. "You sure you don't need to see a doctor?" Kurt shakes his head. "No, I'm vine. I'm just zinking of Ginny." Scott raises an eyebrow. "Ginny?" Kurt nods.
"Boys, is there something you'd like to share with the class?" The Professor asks. The two boys shake their heads furiously. "Good, then perhaps you'd like to enlighten us on what-" The bell rang and the boys gave out a large sigh. "Ah, saved by the bell, as they say. Have a good rest of your day children." Professor X says, wheeling away on his steel wheelchair. "Kurt," the boy in question freezes. "Follow me please." Scott gives his friend a shrug and leaves Kurt to the wrath of the Professor.
"Um, have I done somezing wrong sir?" Kurt asks as he walks beside Xavier. "No, but you do project your thoughts quite loudly." Kurt blushes. "Which gives me the knowledge that you've found yourself taking a liking towards a fellow student. Yet, this is not just any student, no, this is one of our most unstable students this facility has ever seen." He stops and turns to face Kurt. "So my question for you is, do you think you can control her?" Kurt lifts an eyebrow. "I Vish to not control anyvone. I zink she ez fine, and I vill not treat her as my captures treated me at zhe circus." Xavier gives a small laugh. "I won't stop you Kurt, but know that she's dangerous when threatened and-"
"Zo am I Professor." He bares his fangs slightly. "Iz this all? I have to finish my paper for my next class." Xavier frowns slightly and nods, secretly knowing that it was a lie. Kurt briskly walks away from Xavier and towards the library. Upon entering the library he's quickly ushered to the table where all his other friends are. "Okay spill." Jubilee says as soon as he's in a seat. "Vhat are you talking about?" Kurt looks between their faces in shock. "Come on Kurt. Who's Ginny? Tell us." The group nods in agreement to Jubilee's words. "Um, vell, from vhat I've gazered she's a privately tutored girl zhat lives in zhe school's greenhouse. She has red hair, but her bangs are green. And she has light, ocean blue eyes, and pale skin, that shimmers when she..." Kurt trails off as he goes deep into thought about her.
"Come back to us Kurt." Jean snaps her fingers in front of his face, waking him from his thoughts. "Vight, sorry." He clears his throat to continue. "She also seems to have the powers of nature. I don't know how far they truly extend but-" Jean's eyes widen. "Oh god." She puts a hand on her mouth. "What is it Jean?" Jubilee asks. "She's that elemental that put Tommy Graves in the ER about six maybe seven years ago." Everyone's eyebrows shoot up. "How'd she do that?" Peter and Scott ask. Jean sighs. "I don't know the specifics but I heard that she hung him onto a tree branch and pelted him with water, wind and rocks until the Professor calmed her down." She turns towards Kurt. "Kurt, if you- well I don't know- anger her or get on her bad side she will not be merciful. Just promise us you'll be careful." Kurt looks down and his tail flails about frantically. "I'm sure she has her reazons for vhat she did. But, ja, I'll be careful." He stands. "I must be off zhen. I promised her that I'd have lunch vith her." He gives them a small smile before heading towards the lunch room. His thoughts swarming with weather or not he should really go back to see Ginny. But his curiosity outweighed the danger.
"Hallo." Kurt says to the lunch servers. "I vill have zee special, a vanilla milkshake, and," he thought for a moment. "And a chocolate chip cookie, bitte." The server did as he asks and puts his order into the cash register. Kurt pays and bamfs to the greenhouse. He knocks with his tail and the door opens, but Ginny isn't the one to greet him there. Instead an outstretched vine is the culprit for the open door. "Come in." Ginny says as she spritzes a plant. Kurt does as she says and as soon as he's past the threshold the door shuts. "You're early." Ginny says with a smile. "Couldn't wait to see me, right?" She giggles as Kurt moves to sit. "Actually, I thought we'd go outside for lunch. It's such a lovely day." She moves towards the back and pushes the ivy off the door, making room for them. "Coming?" She asks before motioning for Kurt to follow her. He cautiously follows her. "This is my favorite place." She says, motioning to the minor garden surrounding them. The garden in question was a little area boxed off in rose hedges. There was a stone fountain in the center and two stone benches across from each other. It was beautiful, Kurt couldn't deny that, but something was amiss. "Vhy did the Professor box you in like zhis?" He asks.
"He didn't." She says, wrapping her arms around herself. "I did." She looks back at the blue boy and gives a small smile. "I suppose you've already heard the story of Tommy Graves, right?" Kurt nods and she plops down onto one of the benches with a huff. "It was his own fault. I didn't mean to hurt him, but he had the power to suck the life out of things. And he too it for granted." Kurt sat beside her, handing her the cookie. She gives a small laugh. "He took the life of a limping bunny. I could have saved it, I was trying to save it. And he just killed it. I started to cry and he started to laugh, and then I saw red. Next thing I know, I'm here. My new home. Away from those I could hurt. I mean, I know we have Jean Grey her and she's just as dangerous as I am, but she has the Professor to connect with and help her. But me? I'm one of the only elementals I know." She takes a bite of the cookie and hums in happiness. "This cookie is really good." She says, her tone turning on a dime. "Would you like an apple?" She asks. Kurt nods and Ginny reaches up and plucks an apple off a nearby tree.
"Here you go." She hands him the fruit with a smile. "Fresh from casa de Ginny." She gives a small laugh as she watches Kurt take a bite of the apple. "Ginny?" A familiar British voice says from inside the greenhouse. "Professor!" Ginny says in delight, standing. "Ginny dear, it's time for your evaluation." She nods and looks back at Kurt. "It was nice seeing you Kurt." She says with a smile unwavering. "I'll see you tomorrow, alright?" She asks as she, almost mentally, pushes him towards the door. "Ja. Tomorrow." Kurt says absentmindedly. Ginny gives him a small wave before shutting the door and covering the window with ivy, so Kurt could no longer see her.
