Chapter One

Lips against lips, hands grabbing hungrily, lust. 'Beep, beep beep.' Lee Ryan jerked awake. She ran a hand through

her hair, still lost in dreamland, Lee ran a hand over

her face, her fingertips lingering over her lips.

Shaking her head, Lee slamed a hand on her beeping alarm clock. It was 7:30. 'Oh, man I'm gonna be late again.'

She thought as her duvet was thrown off. Lee grabed a

pair of baggy black cargos that had been tossed carlessly on the ground the night before.

She buttoned them, throwing off her pajama top she slipped on a bra. Scanning for a shirt in the piles of clothes that

adorned her bedroom floor like snowdrifts, Lee grabbed

one and slipped it on as she threw open the bedroom door, hurridley putting on socks and then shoes, Lee hopped on one

foot. Grabbing a package of strawberry poptarts,

Lee swung her backpack on and raced out the door. She glanced at her watch, as her feet found the skateboard that lay by

the door. It was 7:40.

As Lee propelled herself to school, she ripped open the package of poptarts and shoved them in her mouth. Swallowing, she

reached the shool grounds just as the first

bell rang. Kicking her skateboard into her arms, she ran up the steps. 'Oh man, one mor elate and their gonna make me go

to that freakie mutie school.' lee reached her

locker and twirled the com, it clicked open.

She put her board in, grabbing her binder she slammed the locker and took off for class. Lee burst threw the door just as

the final bell rang. The teacher glared at her as

she panted and quietly made her way to her desk. Sitting down, Lee opened her binder and grabbed a pen. She began to

copy

down the notes from the board. her back

was burning, a sure sign that everyone was staring at her.

A tiny beeping noise filled the room. Crossing to the phone Mrs Allkirk, the english teacher, picked it up. "Hello?"

Lee's

face fell as the teacher's face distorted with an

evil smile. "Yes of course, she'll be right down." hanging up the phone, Mrs. All kirk's grey eyes were fiked coldly

upon

Lee. "Go to the office. It seems you were late

agian." Lee knew better then to argue with her teacher, she slammed her binder closed and shoved it roughly in her

backpack.

Begrudgingly picked up her bag and headed

out the door. 'Life isn't fair, why do I have to be a muti?'

"So professor, where's the girl we have to pick up?" Ororo Munroe asked. She wasn't in the best mood, getting up at five

to go with the professor to a school in Canada.

"She'll be here soon." As soon as these words were spoken, a grungy looking tomboy walked slowly through the door. She

made at face at being in the office and slammed herself into a chair.

"Is that the girl Professor?" asked Ororo. The Professor nodded and both adults tentativily approached her.

'I hate Mrs. Alljerk.' Lee thought angrily. 'Stupid teacher.' The two adults that were in the office when she had come in

were slowly approaching her. Looking at both of them, she controlled her glare, although it was probably their fault she

was in the office right now anyway's.

"Are you Lee Ryan?" Asked the man in the weelchair. The woman beside him watched her carefully, as if she was afraid of

getting bitten. Lee inwardly grinned, outwardley she was still scowling.

"Who wants to know." She snapped, to angry to show her manners.

"Miss Ryan, you should be happy to finally be conversing with your own species." Remarked the principle snidly.

"When my species takes over the world, I'm gonna torture you personally." Growled Lee. The principle looked a little

shocked.

"Is that a threat?"

"No." Lee smiled evily at him. "It's a promise."
