"Hey Jubs, over here," Kitty shouted to Jubilee at the canteen. Jubilee approached the table. Sitting at the table were Rogue, Kitty and Bobby, with two extra chairs, one already saved for Jubilee.
"You know I hate being called that! How many times do I have to tell you that," Jubilee raised her voice at Kitty. She just giggled while she was being 'scolded' by Jubilee. Jubilee finally sat down at the chair beside Rogue after she had finished with Kitty.
Jubilee paused for a while before she finally said, "Aren't you going to invite John here too?"
"No way, I don't trust that fire boy anymore. He had betrayed us all and he still dared to come back here," Bobby replied in some sort of angry tone.
"I still don't really trust him too, but I think we should give him a chance. He just made a mistake he went with Magneto. At least he realized what he'd done and came back here," Bobby's girlfriend, Rogue, trying to convince Bobby.
"Anyway, now he seems to be happy now with his new group of friends. Bet he is happier there being naughty as usual with them than over here," Bobby said while staring at the group John was with across the canteen. Rouge was not sure whether he was jealous or made that as another excuse not to befriend John.
"Come on, he's been here for almost a week already. He's done nothing wrong so far since he came here. If the Professor can accept him back here, we can almost be convinced he really wants to return on our side again," Rogue still trying to convince Bobby. It was not always easy to convince him.
"Now he's making friends with those guys who I don't really know very well. They seem to be gangster-like. Who are they anyway?" Kitty asked.
"The Chinese boy is Joey Wang. He's in my History class. I think he's the naughtiest boy in class," Jubilee answered.
"The curly blonde haired girl is Clarice Lark, isn't she?" Rogue asked. "I can recognize by those big earrings she wears every day,"
"If I can't trust those guys, then why can I trust John, plus he'd done far worse things than they'd done," Bobby said.
"Bobby, can you please stop it. I've had enough. John had once been our friend. We should try and help him instead," Rogue tried to stop Bobby again.
"Whoa, tension is going on around here. Let's just eat, I've hardly touched my food yet," Jubilee butted in before anyone could say anything else.

Meanwhile, John was enjoying himself at the table across the canteen. He was actually enjoying daydreaming while flicking his Zippo lighter. He was not paying attention to the others. The others were busy talking some bad things about the teachers in the school.
John kept thinking about Rogue. Nobody ever knew that he had a crush on Rogue. He had that crush ever since the first time he set his eyes on her. He imagined how beautiful she was with her auburn hair and white streak. There was always this smile on her face every time he saw her. He had been longing to touch her but he knew she would not allow him to, and Bobby would be even angrier with him for getting close to Rogue.
John thought he had lost to Bobby already. Bobby made a move first and now Rogue had been going out with Bobby for almost two years already. John was shy to ask Rogue out as he thought she did not really like him. He did not have a chance anymore to get closer to Rogue.
"Hey, Pyro, you've been daydreaming down there. What is it about?" Joey snickered at him. He had been caught. John snapped out of his daydream immediately.
"I got to return my plate first. Be right back," John immediately answered. He tried to get away from them for a while. Too immersed back in his daydream, he knocked into someone. He looked up and saw it was Rogue.
"Sorry," he guessed she was not going to start any conversation so might as well he apologized and walk away.
"It's ok, no harm done," Rogue just replied back. John quickly walked away. Rogue just stood there for a while deciding whether to try to talk to him. She decided she was just going to leave him alone. Both of them had nothing to do with each other anyway since John followed Magneto.
But still, John thought somehow he still had to get closer to Rogue now that he got the chance. Bobby and him were sort of enemies already, so why would he care whether it would affect their friendship even worse than it was before. He thought of a way to get closer to her. He knew Rogue loved Bobby, but could it be possible that he got a chance that Rouge could love him as well?

"Dr.Cayne, how's the experiment going on?" The professor asked his old student, who was working on some sort of machine.
"There's still something wrong with the machine, professor, I'll have to check it thoroughly again and repair it. It may take a while longer," Dr.Cayne replied.
Suddenly, the machine sounded. It shook vigorously and lit up. It worked suddenly although no one operated it. It was not supposed to work then. After a few minutes, the machine broke down. Everything turned quiet again.
"What has just happened Dr.Cayne?" the professor asked.
"I think it has just worked. Now it breaks down again like the way it was before," Dr.Cayne answered.
"But there was no one to operate, was there? We aren't affected," the professor asked again.
"I'm afraid it was powerful that it affected somebody else, outside this lab. We have to find out who are those affected," Dr.Cayne sighed.
"I'll have to find out who they are fast. Right now, forget about the machine for a while. Follow me, help me figure out how to help them," the professor immediately went out of the lab, back to his office.
