Project-X-ii: Welcome to Bayville Chapter 4:A Possible New Student

Scott ordered the pizzas over the phone and they then found themselves waiting for the pizza to arrive. As they stood around, Professor Xavier came into the room with Storm. The man folded his fingers as he came into the room. The dark skinned female frowned. "I thought Jean would be hanging out with you."

"She had better things to do." Jasper sighed. "She wasn't exactly to thrilled with the fact we decided on pizza for tonight dinner option."

"She will need to get used to the fact that we have a bigger group of students. Speaking of which, there is a chance for us to get a new student." Xavier looked right at the new male on the team. "Your transcript for school says that you speak fluent German."

"Yeah... but I am not sure what the deal with that is." Jasper frowned at Xavier.

"Kurt Wagner is from a country that speaks German and while he speaks English, his parents happen to only speak German. I would like to take you with me tomorrow afternoon to speak with him." Xavier asked. "There is a chance you'll miss out on some school the next day, but it can easily be arranged with the school for you to have time off and it not count as an absence."

"So, I get to meet a mutant from another country?" Jasper blinked a couple of times. "The answer is yes."

"Just to forewarn you, his mutation causes him to be ostracized without using his powers."

Bella blinked a couple of times. "So it is a physical mutation instead?"

"He has both." Xavier's fingers touched together. "I am wanting you to approach him with an open mind as he is rather shy about... certain things. His parents are also very protective. I've got something set up so that he can actually go to school, but it will help for him to have a friend before he gets here."

The pizza arrived and Jean came downstairs. She frowned at the choices they had. "No vegetarian?"

"Come on! Are you really vegetarian?" Bella grumbled.

Jean glared at them. "Is there anything else I need to know?"

Jasper's going with the professor to try and help recruit a new student." Scott frowned at her.

"I think I'll eat in my room."

Bella let out a deep sigh. "I think we'll eat in our rooms as well so we won't bother you guys with girl talk.

Alice frowned after her after they got into the hallway. "She's not very sociable. I mean, we could be talking about fashion and other girly stuff and instead she takes off."

"That's because we're not in the in crowd and she thinks that I don't have any sense of fashion." Bella frowned. "Seriously though, I have a really good sense of fashion and the clothing she wears is so yesterday it isn't funny. But she wants to have this prim and proper look. She doesn't even dress the part. Seriously, she doesn't dress the part at all and instead fits the role of miss perfect, the girl everyone wants to be around because she is so perfect."

"Yeah... but she's got a major attitude problem." Alice flopped onto the bed and they pulled out a few fashion magazines. "Speaking of which, I would like this outfit."

"That would look good on you." Bella glanced at the notes.

"I like to draw, so I can actually draw some really nice outfits." The small female got out a sketchbook from her bag and began to sketch something out. "Of course, I don't know what would look good on Jean. She's got this ugliness about her because of her attitude, so I guess she would look good in a cheerleaders outfit."

"She'd just say, 'I'm not a cheerleader. I'm not blond and I'm not a ditz."

"She might as well dye her hair blond. You know, she reminds me of Lauren. They look a lot like each other, so you'd wonder if they were actually related."

"It would be crazy if those two were cousins." Bella stated.

"Don't go there. Lauren isn't fun to be around. If she is related to Jean, then there is a chance she also has the X-gene and she could end up here with us."

"Yuk! One Jean Grey is bad enough! I mean, they both want to have their way." The dark haired female paused. "Actually, I think that Lauren is better because she's not little miss perfect, she actually made it clear she enjoyed being the bad girl."

"So... they like, have the same personality, but they are polar opposites when it comes to the whole goody two shoes and being an absolute bad girl." Alice frowned at the sketch. "I think I prefer the bad girl persona. You can at least predict what the girl is going to do and they are likely to do something that leads to their downfall and them not being liked. The goody two shoes though, they can do a lot of things and not worry about their reputation because everyone will brush them off as being perfect."

"I don't want to hang out with either one of them." Bella let out a deep sigh. "So... we don't have any of the books we want to read, do you want to check out the library here more carefully."

"Sure... though I expect that the professor only has the classics." Alice giggled. "Nothing wrong with the classics, but I don't expect him to be savy to pop culture.

The two girls got up and headed to the library. They were surprised to see Scott reading a book. He glanced up at them. "Jasper went to bed already as he has a long day tomorrow, what with the flight. Jean chewed me out because she thought I should have tried to convince the professor she was the one to go instead of him because she has seniority. I then told her he was picked because he can speak German."

"How come you put up with her Bella?"

"Because he's patient?" Alice piped up. "He has to be, holding out for a girl who is with another guy.
