Scout Summers watched everyone stumbling around the room, trying to get
themselves straight for the first day of school. She seemed to be the only
one in the room right now who hadn't slept too late and was ready to go.
Kevin Pryde was combing his short brown hair with an apple in his mouth with a red face from hurrying. Looking for all the world like the most fashion conscious roasted pig. Only this was about the thinnest pig you've ever seen. He was about 5'10" with smooth skin, brown hair and brown eyes. Like always he looked like he had spent about an hour in the bathroom getting ready.
Which he had.
For a kid from Chicago he sure cared a lot about the way he looked.
All the training over the summer had put a few muscles on him but he was still thinner then he should be.
"Like I should talk," Scout thought to herself. She was just about the thinnest in the house making her also just about the flattest.
The only thing that kept people from thinking she was a boy from the back was her shoulder length reddish-brown hair. It used to be all the way down her back but Shortly after becoming leader of the X-men she had cut about a foot of hair off so it didn't get in the way.
Sometimes she wondered if that was sensible or psychotic.
"Hurry up, liebe, or we'll be late!" Scout looked around just in time to see Kat Wagner slap Kev on the ass. He let out a surprised yelp and bit a huge chunk of apple off and began choking on it.
"Mein Gott!" Kat yelled before wrapping blue furred arms around Kevin's middle and hiemliching the apple out.
After a few moments of coughing a very red Kev glared at Kat.
"For future reference, I LIKE living! So how about we not do that anymore, okay?!?" he said before phasing right through a wall and away.
Kat looked for a moment like she was going to cry before plastering a smile on her face and heading around to bug others. Kat's mutation made her stand out the most with her blue fur, three fingered hands, two toed feet and tail, her blue hair was maybe foot and a half long. She never let it show that her appearance bothered her though. In fact she never let show that anything bothered the German girl. It was very common knowledge that she had a crush on Kevin and flirted with him shamelessly, even sexually at times. She made it seem as if she only did it for the shock value but Scout had been watching for long enough to see that underneath the joker Kat really wanted to be accepted, especially from Kevin who hadn't quite gotten over her looks. Scout wondered how long Kat would hold up against that.
Kat was now over by Rogue. The goth was sipping on a mug of black coffee and trying to act like Kat wasn't amusing him. Rogue, whose real name h hadn't said yet, was dressed all in black, a leather jacket even though it was warm outside with matching gloves, black jeans and boots. Rogue's mutation caused him to suck the energy and memory out of anyone by touching them. If it was a mutant, she also took their powers for a time. He couldn't control this power though so he pushed everyone away, acting like he didn't want or need acceptance. His attitude was pretty much the polar opposite of Kats but they got along well.
The sound of wheels on polished wood came down the hall as Eve came speeding into the room on her skateboard, tipped it back to screech to a stop and yanked the fridge open. Her board had left marks on the floor. Again. The teachers would not be happy. None of them thought they would ever regret the day that she had decided to give up her rollerblades.
Eve yanked out a gallon of milk and chugged the whole thing back, letting out a huge belch before putting the empty container back into the fridge and spinning around on board, heading out the door with a "see ya at school!"
Eve could hurl bone spikes from her body and, Scout thought, could probably fashion it into armor if she actually tried. The thing is that she was such a slacker. She was constantly late for everything.
She had just left before everybody but she knew she would be late, boarding with some of her friends.
In times of doubt, that he felt guilty about after, Scout thought Eve would never still be here if Storm wasn't her uncle.
Eve was about 5'6" with short white hair around a dark face. She always wore really loose clothing, making it easier to board no doubt. But it also worked to keep people from seeing her breasts, which she seemed self- conscious about. Eve had this tendency to for go anything that made her seem like a girl. The clothes, board and belching all told that along with some other pet traits of hers.
Scout sometimes wondered if it had to do with Petra..
All of Scout's musings stopped though when John Grey walked into the room.
Scout had to admit that if she had a bigger crush on this guy, John would be so much dust right now from how hard the crushing was.
John was an even 6 feet tall with dark red hair and green eyes around creamy skin. He was muscular without being obvious about it. It was mostly the way he carried himself that took Scout to her happy place. As if he was immune to all the worlds hurts and could see through you. Maybe that look just came with the whole telepathy package but it was so sexy.
Scout shook herself awake from these thoughts as John came over to her.
"Hey," he said. "Ready for the first day?"
"Yeah," she replied, never sure what to say that didn't make her sound like a dork. "How are you getting to school?"
"Donna's picking me up," John said before looking at his watch. "Should be here soon. Catch you later!" john gave her a dazzling smile before heading out, using his TK to snag an orange on the way out.
Scout watched her leave before letting out the breath she had been holding. She looked up to see Kat and Rogue watching her with smirks on their faces.
"What?"
They just looked right back at her.
"Oh shut up!" she said to the non-response, getting up. "Do you guys want a ride to school or not?"
