As promised Chapter two! Please review!

I do not own and X-men characters... Wish I did though :P

Rai sprinted down the corridor with Harry hot on her heels. They skidded round the corner dramatically as their worn down shoes squeaked in protest along the polished school floor.

"We're late!" Rai cried in a mad panic to her companion,

"Never! What gave you that idea Sherlock?" Harry panted sarcastically as they eventually found the room their class was supposed to be in. They burst through the door desperately

"So you're the new students." A huge well-tanned man was leaning against the desk. He stalked up to them like a cocky idiot and leaned close to their faces in scrutiny "Next time you are late don't burst into my classroom like a hurricane!" he barked. It took all of Rai's strength to stop herself from covering her ears. She exchanged glances with Harry who looked like she was in shock.

"Now park your arses down in an empty seat and shut up." He growled.

Rai looked up at the class. Most were sniggering quietly over their desks but some looked terrified and worried for the unusual new students. One person in particular stood out. She quickly nabbed the seat next to him and unpacked her notebook.

She watched her friend sit next to an Asian girl who had black hair and was showing way too much cleavage for her own good and Harry shot a 'help me!' face.

"H-hallo." The boy who was next to her stuttered. Rai turned her attention back to him and for the first time she gawked. He was like any usual teenage boy considering his clothing but he was quite tall and lanky, possibly athletic? Rai thought in her head. He had a quite attractive mop with long bangs framing his face. The colour of his hair was interestingly Indigo blue which she found very original. She looked into his eyes. They were ice blue. They looked unnatural. Maybe he had contact lenses on too. She thought again. But now that she mentioned it something about his appearance seemed off. To the passing eye there was nothing wrong with him but up close his skin looked a weird pale white and he seemed like he was hiding from something.

"Uh… hello." She said in a hushed voice to avoid the teachers glare. She realized that he was staring at her as much as she was staring at him and she felt her cheeks heat up. Rai tore her eyes from him to the board with all the effort she could muster and tried to concentrate on the Spanish.

After 20 minutes of pointless drivel from the teacher and a few naughty peaks at her unusual Spanish partner the Spaniard told them to talk to their partners about themselves in Spanish. They once again turned towards each other the air filled with awkwardness.

"um…Mi nombre es Rai Negomi. Tengo 16 años y vivo en un piso con mi amiga Harriet." (my name is Rai Negomi. I am 16 years old and I live in a flat with my friend Harriet) She managed to remember the small Spanish phrases. He smiled at me as if to say thank you for breaking the silence.

"Mi nombre es Kurt Wagner y tengo 17 años. Vivo con mis amigos en el Instituto Xavier."(my name is Kurt Wagner and I am 16 years old. I live with my friends at the Xavier Institute) He leaned on the back of his chair seeming more relaxed now.

"Why would a German boy be so far away from home?" She asked slightly confused at his German accent with Spanish words. He stiffened slightly but gave a wicked grin

"Vwhy would a British girl be here? It seems I'm not ze only one with a thick accent here." His eyes scanned her reaction. She hated having her British accent because it gave away where she was from.

"I got transferred. Family problems." She shrugged giving the automatic answer. It wasn't a lie though. "Your turn Wagner." She turned the conversation back to him.

He shrugged "It vasn't safe for me so my parents moved me to the Xavier institute."

"isn't that the place for mutants?" she asked. He stiffened suddenly and sat up alert

"I'm not a mutant. I…." he stumbled for words but slumped in ddefeat "I'm just…. Normal."

"Well then you better getting used to being around more abnormal people normal boy." She stood up and packed her stuff away as the bell rang for second period.

She walked out of the classroom, with the rest of the students who had managed to stay awake for the whole hour, dodging a burning glare from the angry Spaniard... Quite literally... the small hole that was left in the doorframe was very nearly her arm.

A hand grabbed her shoulder and she turned round, expecting it to be Harry, and saw Kurt.

"Vwant to meet up at lunch?" he blurted in a hurry "I-I mean if you Vwant to." He added with a nervous laugh.

OMG! Hottie asking ME to lunch! Her mind squealed.

"um y-yeah. Sure!" she stuttered trying not to sound like a giddy primary school girl. His nervousness seemed to disappear and a huge grin spread across his face

"Danke!" he beamed and walked off into the crowd.

Second lesson breezed past and soon it was lunch time.

"Stop fussing Rai its only lunch." Harry sighed looking like she wanted to be anywhere but there.

"You know I'm useless with guys! What do I say? How do I act?" she bombarded her friend in a flurry of panic.

"Just be yourself." She sighed again and wandered off. Ditching her panicking friend.

"Hallo." A German voice surprised Rai. She spun round to see Kurt standing there with a huge grin on his face.

"Hi, how was second period?" she blurted hoping the conversation wouldn't die.

"Ach! It was so boring. Science used to be a lot more fun with Mr McCoy." He grumbled theatrically. She tried to supress a snigger at the unusual boy. They sat down at a table and started to munch on their lunch.

"Can I ask something?" she asked after a long session of moaning about certain teachers.

"mmh?" he said through a bite of sandwich.

"are you a Star trek fan or something?" she held up her hand and did the Vulcan hand sign. Making her fingers into three digits.

"er." He gulped "y-yeah…. It's a bit of an obsession." He held up his own hands that did the same.

"Its like their permanently glued or something. It's ok I won't ask if you're not comfortable." She flopped her hand in a not caring gesture seeing he was worried at her remark.

"Danke." He whispered sheepishly. Someone got thrown in front of them and landed hard on his back.

"Come on Summers! You mutant scumbag! Show everyone what you can do!" a blonde well-tanned boy smirked ignorantly. He was wearing a letterman jacket and the perfect envisagement of the average American high school bully. The boy sat up and behind those red sunglasses Rai could feel he was glaring. A grimace was carved on his mouth. He didn't fight back to the bully though. No matter how much his body language said that he wanted to punch the guys' lights out. Rai stood up angrily and stood directly in front of the bully. He looked down and the sliver haired girl in front of him,

"For the love of god stop being suck a jackass! People are trying to eat." She spat at him. He raised a blonde eyebrow and gave an unconvinced smirk in her direction he looked around her

"Getting little girls to defend you now summers. That's-"

"Listen to me loud and clear." She demanded filling her voice with authority "I do not give a monkeys arse about what you two are fighting about but picking fights in public places can get others hurt and to be quite frank Mr you are the biggest prick-head I have ever seen. Last time I checked mutants were still humans so go away and leave us alone. Got it?" Rai snapped. The whole dinner hall was quiet now and She felt people staring. Rai turned round to get her backpack when a heavy hand gripped her shoulder tightly.

"Who gave you the right to boss us-?" he never finished his sentence as she spun round and elbowed him in the face so hard she ended up sending him skidding along the dinner hall floor.

"I said leave." Rai growled darkly.

The bullies scurried away through the doors faster than you could say billy-oh. She turned her attention to the boy. He was gawking and so was Kurt.

"I- I'm sorry." she squeaked grabbing her bag and running out into the courtyard.

She'd blown it at a normal life.

Again.
