New Friends

"Alright, guys I think that does it!" I announced, much to the newest kid's joy.

"Good! That was very unenjoyable!" Flame 2.0 said, annoyed. I can't believe Foster made a second flame. He said it's because Flame was promising until what happened with Leaf, then his heat raised about thirty degrees, so I count even touch him anymore. So we made another, who came out incredibly small. Speaking of small, my teaching class size was very small this time.

Out of the new group of eight, five were effective. Which didn't seem like too few, but after Grass group, Foster forbid me teaching the defectives reading or writing. He said it was a "waste of time". Of course he did. As they all walked away I scooped up the learning supplies and brought them to my office.

"Dr.Xavier?" Foster called from their office. I dropped the supplies on my desk and speed-walked to their office.

"Yes?"

"I'm reading through the files of the things and it seems they'd do better with more, you could bring out that leaf." He instructed, his monotone voice all too familiar.

"Leaf? She's been isolated for about two years, is that a good idea?" I asked with concern.

"Well, I think it's a good idea to see the effects it has on the leaf. It is a special case. Account for it when you eventually split them up evenly." They explained calmly, no concern in their voice. I kept a fake smile.

"Okay!" I said walking away. I'm glad she's getting out of the punishment rooms. But she might not be in the best state. All that isolation can't be good. But I sat down and began deciding new rooms. I came up with:

I don't know if I made the best choices. But I think they'll all fair well. Now to get Leaf. I carefully unlocked and opened the door to the punishment room. I listened to Leaf scurry back into the darkness. I reach my hand in and lay with my hand open.

"It's me Leaf. I'm getting you out." I held my hand open until I felt her nervously crawl onto my hand. As I pulled her out she quickly covered her eyes in what seemed like pain. These bright white lights must hurt her poor eyes. I cupped my hand over her so she was in the darkness in my hands. I ducked into a corner of my office so it was shadowy. I opened my hands and watched Leaf struggle to open her eyes. Poor girl. She has small tears around the edge of her body, which she did to herself. She slowly opened her eyes, still shading it with her hands.

"Dr...Xavier...?" She asked in a quiet hoarse voice. Has she really not talked this whole time? Poor thing.

"Yes! It's me! You won't be going back in that room, I promise," I said, petting her. Hopefully, I could keep that promise. She put her small hands on my finger.
