A/N: I hadn't planned on updating another chapter this week Seeing as I only had these two chapters written. But seeing as its new year's eve and I'm giving myself a week for the third one… enjoy?
New Mutations
"You're late Pryde." my gym teacher said without looking up from her clipboard.
"Sorry Ma'am, I was, like, having trouble with my locker." I growled, pointy looking toward where Reilly was standing.
"Since you're late, you get to go first. Pryde, long jump." The coach said clearly not caring why I was late. Heck, when I didn't show up on time was a good thing for her, seeing as how I had absolutely no athletic powers at all and ended up making her look bad before the other gym teachers.
'Oh great.' I thought running my fingers through my brown, no other color for it but brown, hair. I got set at the starting end of the sand pit. Tapping the toe of the trainer on my right foot both for a better fit and to delay the start whistle.
When the teacher gave the signal, I started down the lane. Reaching the jump point all too quick, it was just my luck that I tripped over my own two feet and ended up face first in the gritty sand. 'Why can't this day just end?' I wined to myself as I beat my fists in the sand and made sounds of frustration.
"Meow. Kitty cat's got a temper." I heard Amy joke causing Riley to laugh at my behalf, not like it was a new thing though.
"This is how a real athlete does it." Reilly taunted as she took her start. She hadn't even taken the time to remove her overly large golden earnings before coming out side, 'real athlete' my foot.
At the tone, Reilly took off down the lane, and while I hated to admit it even to myself, she looked good. Watching her form as she leaped I wished I had even half her grace. I guess being captain of the cheer squad wasn't just for show.
Feeling the ground tremble suddenly I watched as a ridge of dirt snaked it's way from behind me to cross right where Reilly was landing. It completely threw her aim and caused her to also take a face plant. Giggling slightly I watched a sputtering Reilly spit sand out of her mouth.
Looking behind me for no real reason I traced the small path of destroyed ground to see a lanky male leaning against the building, the ridge stopped just a bit before him. Raising one nail bitten hand, he waved at me before crossing his arms once again. Jerking his head once to the side as if calling me over, the kid smirked and disappeared around the corner.
'Did he really think that would work?' I wondered looking once again at the line of rocky soil. 'Then again…' my thoughts drifted off. The rest of the class was gathered around a still spitting Reilly so no one would notice if I just slipped out. Besides I could always claim to be going to the restroom.
Turning away from the clump of classmates, I promptly ran into a tall red headed female. Looking startled, the red head gasped slightly as I pushed off her and continued away from my class. I was too unsettled from all the weird thing that were happening to follow that one boy, but I needed time alone that didn't include being stuck in my locker.
