It was cold night. The moon was shining and its light was falling on the teenager’s face. Moon was reflecting in his brown eyes.
Orick was walking by the street. He saw the Institute, behind the trees. The moon was shining. Orick smiled.
“So, I am here” He walked to the gate. It was huge. Orick swallowed…
“Cholera” – he said in his Polish Language – “It is…” He didn’t say the rest. The gates opened.
“Hah, someone is expecting me?” He said, passing the gates. He looked around, and noticed the basketball pitch.
“Oh, basketball” he said with bored voice. “I hate this game… I wonder, if they have a volleyball pitch, or football?” He looked around and noticed the light in the Institute.
“It’s very big” He said, with his strange accent “How many people are learning in it?”
He walked through the Garden, treading on the path. He stopped, when he noticed some flowers.
“Oh... What’s that? A strange flower, a have never seen something like that?” He touched the petals. They were very delicate. “My little” He smiled and stands up. He has got a hunch that someone is looking at him.
“Hmm… Who’s there?” He asked, looking into the darkness. “Who are you?”
He touched his forehead and close his eyes… he used his powers, to sense any mind nearby.
“I cannot sense anyone” He said calmly. But he looked around once again.
“They are looking at me, I know it…” He said when he was walking by the path. “So I have to be fast… Maybe they are waiting for me?” He fought. Then he looked at the light in the house. The doors were getting closer and closer… “What should I do now? It’s my first day; I can’t make a wrong impression about me”. He swallowed once again. He felt, that his bag is getting heavier, and he is sweating. “It’s a cold night, why am I sweating?” He said quietly. “Because you are a bundle of nerves” He answered himself. He was standing in front of the doors.
“Now, my life is going to change, I can feel it” He said, when he was knocking the door.
The sound of knocking has broken the silence. Orick looked at the moon
“It’s a song to say goodbye” He singed quietly “A song to say goodbye, for my old life”

"Finally you're here, I've been waiting the better part of the night for you to show up," Iris said answering the door. She smiled and her blue eyes, though tired looking, twinkled at the sight of Orick. She absent-mindedly threw one of her braids behind her shoulder, "I'm Iris, and sorry for spying on you with my mind earlier but I had to make sure it was you," she said her cheeks flushing a little.

“Oh, I was sure, that someone is looking at me” He smiled and looked inside the bulding. “Err…Iris, yes? Could you tell me where my room is? My bag is heavy and carrying it is… Um… Little uncomfortable, I think…” He pointed at his black, big bag, which he had on his arm. “And I’m little hungry” Luke winked.

Iris' cheeks flushed even more, "Just leave your bag by the door and someone will get it in a moment," she said pointing to a large metal basket by the door, "If you follow me I'll show you to the kitchen where I'll see if there's something for you to eat."

“You have saved my life” Said Orick, smiling. He left his bag at the door and went by Iris.
“How long are you there?” He asked, staring at her. “You are looking, like someone, who’s the… Don’t be angry… veteran…” Luke said, but he quickly finished “Of course I am not talking about your appearance” he blushed.

"Almost two years, I'm going through college right now and Xavier's is a good place to stay to keep costs down," Iris said, "Here's the kitchen, let's see if Kurt and the gang haven't ravished the groceries I bought yesterday," she said going through the cupboards.

“Argh, my Powers can’t sense a food in the fridge “He touched his forehead “I forgot, they can sense only the minds “He laughed and looked at her “Do you have cornflakes? I love cornflakes” Luke smiled and he took out a chocolate bar “Oh, I found my last food!” He smiled “When I was in Poland, someone stole my bag with food… It was terrible… It is Poland “He said angrily.

Iris nodded, "It's tough out there in some parts," she said going to the ceral cupboard and pulling out some ceral, "Is raisin bran alright?" she asked setting the cereal on the table in front of Orick and went to the fridge and grabbed the milk.

“Ok, I will not turn my nose up for that…” He smiled and looked around “And you haven’t answered my question, Iris” he said with some discontent “Where is my room… And I’ve heard about teams or something… I have to learn so much…Could you tell me now something about Xavier's Institute?”

"Upstairs, in one of the boy dorms, I'm not sure what team you'll be on yet," Iris said knowing her answer wouldn't help much, "I think we have a new squad forming so you can probably take one of the free rooms in the west wing."

Iris smiled and leaned against the counter, "Actually I greet everyone, so you knid of get used to being nice," she said, "And of course going through everyone's appilcations doesn't hurt to get to know people better."

“Oh, So you are trying not to have any enemies?” He smiled and munched his chocolate bar. “Very clever… Simple, but clever… In Poland, we call it -Uprzejmy-“ He added and looked at the window. “How many people are there, in the Institute? I am sorry, I know, I have too many questions, but I want to now everything about Institute.” He smiled like an innocent baby.

"It's hard to have enemies when your running the place where they stay," Iris said and smiled, "But no it's not like that, I was just brought up to treat everyone with kindness and as an equal. Over a hundred, it sometimes gets hard to count because everyone is coming and going all the time. No your questions are good, at least you're trying to learn about your surroundings."

“Yeah, If I know the Place I am leaving, I can call it home” He laughed, and his chair overturn, Orick fell down, with loud “Krrek”. “Cholera” He said in Polish “Mother said “be careful” He smiled, stood up, and started to massage his back.

“Yeah” He started to laugh loudly. “I am okay…But I hope, You have some medicine… My back hurts.” He said with a pain in his voice. “Or something like that… And my bar?” He said with resignation “Somebody took it… Oh My God, it was so tasty” He smiled and he picked up some brown SOMETHING “Oh… It looks like, I’ve sat on it, Great”

"Of course," Iris said and disappeared into the pantry and came out with some aspirin.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Iris then asked in very shaky Polish, stumbling over many of the words, her Russian was better, but not by much. She looked hopefully at Orick with a worried smile on her face as she handed him the pain killers.

“WHAT? You speak Polish?” He said, and swallowed a painkiller. “Oh, it’s so incredible!” He smiled like a small child “I am so surprised!” He smiled and looked at her. “Thank you for the Painkillers. You have saved my life again” He winked at her. “Ok. It was nice to meet you. But now, I need some sleep…. Do you know, where’s my room or which team I’ll join?”

"It's bad, I know, you should have seen the face of the old German lady when I accidentally asked her if she wanted to see my underwear. I have to admit languages aren't my best skill," Iris said reverting back to English, 'There are empty rooms in the West wing you can take whatever one you want. And as for teams you'll be assigned them later."
