This is for Dark Jaded Rose's challenge. The challenge was to write a romance about an obscure character and an oc. I chose Jamie and paired him up with my oc, Aira McCarthy. Please read and take the challenge!

Disclaimer: Hah! Me? Own X-Men? Verryy Funny. So turn off Comedy Central and get a life. The only thing I own is Aira, why I don't even own the general idea. That and the challenge belongs to DarkJadedRose! And yes, I do not own Simple Plan.

~~~~Don' Wanna Grow Up~~~~~~

It was a rainy Autumn day. Jamie Madrox looked out the window, watching raindrops fall down into the gutters on the street.
Why don't you go to the mall? Mrs. Madrox asked her son.
Aww, Mum....
You should be out there! Having fun and making friends instead of cooped up in here! Her son didn't have many friends and she didn't want him to be so lonely. She went and got his shoes and jacket. Have fun! She called as he went out the door.
Jamie headed down the city street. He didn't tell his mother what was on his mind. Jamie didn't mind being alone. When he was out in public, well, lets just say strange things happened.
The #2 bus pulled up to the corner and Jamie got on.
~~~~~~~~
Aira McCarthy wanted to get away. It was just days ago her boyfriend had cheated on her then dumped her. It was just hours ago she had gotten an on her science test. It was just minutes ago she had stopped crying, and it was just seconds ago when she had decided to go to the mall.
Aira pulled on a pair of too big cargo pants and pulled a large black sweatshirt over herself, diguising her petite girlish figure. She tucked her long blonde hair up into a black fisherman's cap. The mirror no longer showed a cute girl, it showed her easily passing for a boy. No one would recognized her, and she didn't care. She just wanted to be left alone.
She didn't what people thought about her. It didn't matter in the big scheme of things.
She put a pair of headphones on as she walked out the door, so listening to Simple Plan, she ran down her street, just in time to catch the number 2 bus.
~~~~~~~~
Jamie had taken a seat by the window. He didn't intend to go to the mall, instead, he was quite content with watching people come and go on the bus.
Two stops after his own, a boy boarded the bus. He was wearing a large black sweatshirt and listening to music. The boy walked up the aisle slowly, as if looking for something.
Seeing two girls at the back of the bus, the boy turned away and spotting the empty seat next to Jamie, he sat down.
People intrested Jamie and he liked to watch them, especially on the bus. Usally it was full of little old ladies knitting and talking about their grandchildren, or businessmen talking very loudly on their cell phones, but this boy was different somehow.
The boy kept his head bowedm though he did neak a couple of glances around.
Jamie decided to strike up a conversation with the slightly older boy, What stop is the mall?
The boy glanced around and replied, (in what sounded like a forced deep voice), Stop Seven.

The boy nodded and kept on listening to his music.
At Stop 5, 4 tough looking guys got on the bus. They glanced around, and spying those two girls at the back of the bus, the lumbered down the asle.
The boy next to Jamie looked over at them and watched them go by. Oh no... the boy muttered, and Jamie could see why. Those guys were definately looking for trouble.
Hey girls! said one, a skinny boy with platinum blonde hair, Wanna come with us?
We'll buy you a soda, yo! said one who was slightly hunched over.
Like, get lost, dweebs! one girl rolled her eyes.
The other girl nodded, Yeah, beat it!
Aw come one cuties, we'll treat you to a soda!

One of the boys grabbed one of the girls by the wrist. The boy sitting next to Jamie jumped up and walked down towards the boy who was holding the struggling girl's wrist.
Excuse me! The boy tapped the older boy on the shoulder.

POW! The boy sock him right on the jaw.
The platinum blonde buy grabbed the younger boy by the neck of his shirt, You little...
SMACK! The blonde boy rocolied from the smack across his face. He began to shake the other boy, Why I oughta!
The younger boy's hat fell off and and with a swish blonde and brown hair fell across his back.
Ack! Your a girl! the boy said, dropping her.
Yeah, and I've gotta a beef with girl-using boys like you!
She put up her fists, You want a peice of this? Bring it on, by all means, bring it on!
No way! I don't fight chicks.
The group of boys walked away muttering.
I can't believe you got your butt kicked by a girl, yo!
Shut up Toad!
Umm....like, Thanks! One of the girls said to the butt-kicking girl.
No prob! and Jamie saw that she was smiling, That was what I needed!
The sun was shining, and at the next stop, the girl got off the bus and yelled to the whole street. WAHOOO! LOOK OUT WORLD, AIRA MACARTHY IS COMIN' THROUGH! and with that, she proceeded to splash in all the puddles.
