A/N: Set before Everett died.
I really shouldn't be sitting in my bed doing nothing. I know I got finals to study for. I was gonna study with Angelo but he retired early. Look at him how can he just sleep like that. He is borderline failing and he's snoring like he doesn't have a care in the world. Hmm... maybe it's just me, I have been a little uptight every since Sean appointed me team leader. What if I get one of us killed. Jubilee says I'm looking more and more like Mr. Summers everyday. She says if I keep this up I'm officially uncool and she's never talking to me again.
Come to think of it Jubilee sure has been strange lately. We hardly talk any more; it's almost like we were never friends. This whole place has grown rather quiet after Ms. MacTaggert died. Mostly quiet because we are afraid to say anything to our Headmaster he been so distant; Emma notices it to but won't even try to help him through it. She says, "He just needs some time."
On the bright side my parents called and want me to spend New Years with them. I need a little time away from this super hero business. Maybe I'll invite Jubilee to St. Louis with me. Wow it has been so long since Jubes parents died I hope she can handle seeing me getting along with my folks. I sure hope I can get on her good side again. She been avoiding me more and more since I've let it be known that me and Monet are going out. I don't see why she letting that stand between are friendship. She was never like this when I asked for her help with Gaia. I know her and Monet don't get along but that's no reason to take it out on me. Is it?
The next day outside class before school...
"Hey Jubes." Said Everett. "I was wondering if you'd like to spend New Years with me and my folks back home?"
"No thanks Ev, wouldn't want to get in your way." She replied after a moment.
"It's no big deal my Dad asked me if I wanted to bring someone so the plane tickets not a prob-
"I said NO!" Jubilee cut him off with a shout causing a couple of students to turn their heads. "Why don't you just ask Monet I'm sure she'd be happy to go with ya."
"Is that what this is about, Monet. I wanted to take you we haven't been on speaking terms as of late for some reason and I was hoping I could make it up to you."
"Oh so now I'm some charity case that you feel sorry for and decide to patch it up with a ticket to Louie." Jubilee replied shouting off sparks in her escalating anger.
"No it's not like that at all I wanted to take you." Ev said defensively. "I was planning to for a while now but you nev-
"Keep your fucking ticket, Ev. I don't wanna go anyway." Jubilee said now sobbing a little.
"What the hell is your problem." Everett said growing frustrated.
"I love you." Jubilee admitted. "Or used to before you stabbed me in the back and went out with the witch." Jubilee said between sobs. "You just don't get it do you. Your so thick headed. I been trying to tell you for years now but no, You go out with her and to make worse you ask for my help!" The bell to start first period rings. As Jubilee takes one look at her class and starts heading back towards her dorm.
"Where are you going... Lee... come back, I'm sorry." Ev gets out through his confusion. "Lee come on Frost is gonna kill us if we ditch."
"We." Jubilee said while drying her eyes. "Go back to class Ev and leave me alone." Now stopping to face him. "I could live a much happier life if I never see you or Monet again. Got it dipshit." Now venting all her built up frustration at him. "I honest to God hope you die!" With that she leaves.
