My one-and-only X- evolution fic. Try not to hate me. I'm not sure what time X-ev is set, so I'm guessing around 2000-ish.

Ps. I made up the guy's name, so if it's yours, it's a coincidence.

Tobias Mackinson sighed, throwing away the un-touched cigarette. He didn't want to do it. Sure, he'd be a laughing stock at school tomorrow, but hey! At least he'd still be alive in 30 years.

"Huh!" snorted Lister, kicking gravel at him. "What a wimp." He turned to the other two, jerked his head away and walked off, the cronies following.

"(Jocks…)" whispered Tobias, standing up and brushing himself off. He pushed a stand of brown hair over his ear again, blinking his water-coloured eyes. He walked to the land-side end of the pier, his dark blue combat-trousers and dark blue jacket fluttering in the breeze. He checked about in case they came back, then took off his jacket, tying it around his waist, revealing his; you guessed it, dark blue T-shirt.

He activated his CD player, put the headphones in, then skipped to 'Hall of the mountain king' He was probably the only kid in school who liked the classicals, but he didn't care. He walked down the sidewalk, whistling in time. After a few minutes, he reached his parent's Miami Beach house, with peeling paint and a broken gutter. But it didn't matter. He was happy to be home. (Ick, that sounds really corny.)

It does get better.
