2 One (2/2)

”Let me guess,” I started, ”Whose the owner? John Porter?” I joked and giggled a bit. My mom turned towards me and her mouth parted.

”How did you know?”

”Oh h.e.l.l no,” I mumbled. Before either of us could say another word, John Porter walked towards us with a huge smile on his face. He grabbed my mother's hand and shook it.

”It's so nice to see you again!” She said while giving him a huge smile.

”It's always a pleasure to see you, dear!” He replied before turning his attention towards me. I smiled softly at him as he grabbed my hand and shook it.

”This is my daughter, Carter! She's been under plenty of stress lately and I don't think she's been getting any sleep so please excuse her if she says anything that might sound a little crazy but I'm positive it will all change once she begins to live and take her cla.s.ses here!”

”I'm not crazy woman,” I mumbled.

John walked us into the huge school and I stared at it in amazement. Both versions were beautiful. There were plenty of people walking around while some were saying goodbye to their loved ones. We continued to follow John until we were officially in his office. We sat down and he began to explain rules and regulations but I blocked him out and started to look around the familiar office.

It was crazy how everything still looked the same.

The desk was still in the exact spot. It was filled with many papers and I could tell that he was quite busy. The chairs were different but they still sat in front of his desk. The window behind him was still the biggest thing in the room except there were red drapes around it. The bookshelves were still in the exact spot and the books looked like they haven't even been touched.

”I'll run to my car and get it,” I heard my mom say before standing up and walking to the door. I watched as she exited and softly closed the door behind her. I turned back around and looked at John as he sat at the desk and smiled at me. I sighed heavily before looking off to the side.

”How's it going?” I asked, ”You know? Teaching all of these students at this huge school?”

”Cut the act, Carter,” John spoke. I looked up at him as he lifted the coffee mug to his lips and took a sip.

”I have no idea what you're talking about,”

”What are you stuck in the past?”

”I'm not stuck in the past,” I growled, ”I came here willingly and I can go back!”

”Why did you come back to the past? Don't do anything that will ruin the present or the future!”

”The present has already been ruined and the future is headed in the same d.a.m.n path! How did you know that I even time traveled?”

John leaned back and smirked, ”I'm the most powerful mutant to exist! I think I'd know some information like this,”

”I thought you said that I was the most powerful one,”

”You will be the moment you get all of your powers and learn how to control them,” He answered.

”You're still old,” I teased, ”If I blow them you'd probably fade away in dust,”

”Carter,” John said while sighing heavily, ”Be careful?”

”I will,” I replied.

Suddenly, the door to John's office was slammed open and my mom walked in with a bunch of papers in a folder. She smiled softly and walked inside. My mouth dropped open at the person who walked in behind her.

”I have her files here and this young girl was standing outside of the door wanting to speak with you,” My mom explained. I stared at Sarah as she stared right back at me.
