Am I the only one who thinks there is something seriously wrong here? I mean look around. This school is practically a movie set - big stately manor on beautiful grounds with all the facilities a school full of teenagers could want. And of course everyone's so nice and friendly and they just want to help us mutants learn to use and control our powers...

I mean do you all watch movies? It's like the perfect setup for a horror flick. One of those where they discover that the seemingly perfect location is just cover for some sort of mad scientist's twisted experiments. With us as the victims, not the heroes.

I'm sure some of you are going to think I'm overreacting. But I've got one question. This is supposedly a super-swank, upscale private school. Even without the whole mutant thing, it should be costing thousands of dollars to go here. So how come this little chica from the inner city of San Fran's here? 'Cause my folks sure as shit can't pay.

And don't say it's out of the goodness of their hearts. Ain't nobody actually works like that.

I am uncertain if you are implying that my family is wealthy. It is not, which is why I offered to pick up a part-time job to aid in my tuition.

If you are referring to Professor Xavier, I do not harbor the same opinion as you do. I am sorry that you appear to have had financial hardship in your life. I will say that you are not being kept here. If the nature of the school and its wealth is bothersome, you do have the option of leaving. Professor Xavier does not force us to be here. This is not a mutant jail.

I'm a fourteen year old latina girl. You really think I can just walk out if I want to?

I do not know what your ethnicity has to do with anything, but should you wish to leave, you can. I suspect that being a minor, the staff would need your legal guardian to pick you up.

Wow, and I thought some of my old schoolmates were oblivious. Do you watch the news? Or pay attention to anything that doesn't directly impact your precious little life?

I do pay attention, but you implied being Latino would affect whether you could leave the school or not. It would not.

It would mean I'm totally screwed out on my own.

Then I suggest not leaving.

No shit. Hence, this place no matter how pretty is kinda prison-like

I disagree with that sentiment since you can. leave. It is just in your best interests not to leave. But I can see there is nothing anyone can say that will change your mind. I can only hope that your feelings will change over time.
