-1Chapter 11
"You guys are gunna LOVE this place!" Jamie claimed to Jake, Jared, and Jimmy as the four walked down the New York sidewalk torwards the Xavier Institute. "Its big and classy and big and BIG!"
Jimmy blinked at him.
"Is it big?" He asked with a strait face, looking confused as the other three with him startded to laugh.
"No, seriously?" Jake said slowly while walking up the steps and through the door. "Seriously though, this is going to be such a quiet evening. Only us four..." His face turned to simple angelic innocence at this comment.
Jamie raised his eyebrow at Jared curtly, surprised at his silence, and waiting for the loudest and most obnoxious boy of the J crowd to play his role.
"Good AFTERNOON Mr. Xavier!" Jared yelled to Logan and waved as they passed. Logan turned with wide eyes to the boy, but said nothing.
"Here's MY room." Jamie said proudly, gesturing his arms to show that he meant the room in front of them. Jimmy surveyed it carefully, judging every small detail with utmost care.
"Nice size, nice shape. BAD color, not likin' this color. Mirror? You don't even HAVE one! How do you live...how-do-you-LIVE?!"
"Hey, cool it, spoiled boy." Jake ordered, smiling. "I got an idea."
"Hey, Jakey-boy's got an idea!" Jared said excitedly, plopping himself down upon Jamie's bed in a comfortable manner.
"Alright, here's the plan!" Jake motioned for them all to get close, much to the reluctance of Jared, who's exact words were "I just sat down!"
An hour and a half later, the four mischief-makers gathered back in Jamie's room, trying to stifle their childlike giggles as they closed the door, before erupting into fits of hysterical laughter.
"Did you see Jean's face?" Jamie gasped out between laughs, leaning on the wall for support.
"What about Bobby's?!" Jared cried, in the midst of his laughter trying to mimick the aghast, almost constipated look Bobby had gotten on his face, which made then all laugh harder.
For moments, all they could do was sit in slightly convulsive laughter on the floor, until a soft tapping could be heard on Jamie's window that brought them all to a silent halt.
"W...whats that?" Jamie asked, his eyes wide. Jared, Jimmy, and Jake all covered their mouths to hide their smiles.
"It's your birthday present!" They all said in unison, running to open the window as the "A" crowd boys, consisting of Adam, Alan, and Andrew spilled into the room from the tree they had climbed. If that were not bad enough, after them trailed the "T" crowd boys, consisting of Tyler, Trever, Tristan, and Tanner.
"What are you...DOING here?!" Jamie asked in shock, staring down at the bundle of fallen friends. He moved to close the window, but a hand shot out and stopped him from this action.
"Hey Jamie, you weren't closin' the window on us, were ya?" The voice of Carlos Bordido rang throughout the room. Jamie stared in absolute astonishment as the "C" crowd boys jumped cat-like from the tree branch to the window, all of them, meaning Carlos, Chris, Cameron, Christian, Corey, and Colin entering with definitely grace than the "A" and "T" crowds.
"Happy Birthday, Jamie!" The "C" crowd sang in a perfectly harmonized "C" note. The bundle of recovering boys on the floor cheered in approval.
"Shhh!" Jamie said, his eyes wide as again he reached over to close the window.
"DONT!" Andrew ordered, slapping his hand away from the window frame and happily pushing Jamie away from the area near the window.
The "T" crowd had engaged themselves in moving Jamie's bed from the middle of the room to right in front of the door, and, without help from the others, were failing miserably.
"THERE! A nice open space!" Alan claimed, standing in the middle of the room with a satisfied look on his face. "Perfect."
"Perfect for what?!" Jamie demanded, and all the boys in the room turned to give him a sly grin in turn.
"Jamie!" There was a shrill, excited voice outside Jamie's window, before Sarah rolled in, then helped another unknown girl in after her. "Jamie, I'm here! Happy birthday!" She wrapped her arms around him in a hug, than shoved a present into his stomach with a burst of hyper enthusiasm. "This is my friend Sydney from another town."
The "A", "C", "T", and "J" boys all nodded in approval at the two, before continuing their work of clearing space in Jamie's room.
Corey cornered Sarah curiously.
"Hey, where's our girls? Arn't they comin'?"
As though answering his question, giggles could be heard as the "C" crowd girls, Caitlin, Camille, Cassie, Catrina, and Chantelle, all tried to cram through the window at the same time. Finally, Camille won, and Cassie fell through after her, following Catrina and Chantelle, who somehow maneuvered a way to squish through together. All the time never ceasing giggling.
"Guys!" Cassie called loudly through the window. "It's the right room, common up!"
A storm of giggles could be heard as thr "T" crowd girls immediately followed suite of the "C" crowd, climbing in through the window, but with much more organization. Trinity, Tracey, Tasha, and Tia moved away from the window to allow Allison, Ashley, Andrea, and Andrea (the "A" crowd girls) to flip in two at a time, and after them, cautiously, Jessica, Jannette, Jenny, and Jaquoline.
"Theres...girls...here..." Jamie tried to say warningly, but he couldn't help but smile. His friends had thrown him a surprise party! How could this get any better?
"Hey Jamie!" Sarah called, grabbing his attention. She swung a soda bottle from the tips of her fingers gaily.
Oh yah. It just got better.
"Alright...WHO DID IT?!"
"WHO DID IT?!"
"WHAT THE HECK?!"
"AHHH!"
"GROSS!"
"HAHA! ZAT IS GREAT!"
Cries of frustration, discust and confusion rang throughout the institute as Bobby and Ray were covered in honey and feathered while walking into their room, Kurt had jumped onto his bed, only to find that there was a dozen eggs underneath his blanket, Kitty had found a toy but realistic looking mouse in her slippers, Rogue had stepped in Penut butter, and Jean had somehow been buried in shaving cream while she was sleeping.
Enfuriated, the six all met in the hallway while storming out of their rooms.
"WHO..." They all said in unison to each other, but all heads immediately turned to Jamie's closed door, where high pitched giggles, squeals, and more low pitched talking could be heard. Logan and Jack ran hurridly up to the small group.
"Whats the big commotion?" Logan demanded, until he noticed the state of Bobby and Ray, in which he smirked and nudged Jack to show him. Jack snickered professionally.
"We think that they did it!" Kitty accused, pointing to Jamie's door and pouting babyishly.
Jack's eyes darted to the door on his right, confused.
"Who?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at Kitty. The girl looked on the verge of a tantrum.
"Jamie and his STUPID, IMMATURE friends!"
Another giggle escaped the room on the right.
"Well, half pint..."Logan pointed carelessly at the door. "Why don't ya just quietly knock on the door and I'll have a word with 'em?"
Kitty turned the doorknob and pushed on it hard.
"It's not opening! They must have something in front of it!" She narrowed her eyes. "I'm phasing in!"
"Okay Tasha, your turn to spin the bottle!" Ashley sqealed, clapping her hands and laughing. The rest of the girls nodded and giggled in approval. Tasha spun the bottle hard, making it move across the floor torward Carlos, who looked on hopefully. No such luck. The bottle landed with a half upon Jamie. All the girls but Sarah cooed giddily, pushing him forward.
"Pucker up!" Tasha smiled, revealing her slightly lipstick-ey teeth. And with that, she leaned forward and touched her lips with Jamie's softly, leaving Jamie with nothing to do but widen his eyes in surprise. It was Sarah who finally pulled her rudely away.
"Alright, that's enough!" She said stubbornly, pulling Jamie back to his seat next to her on the floor. All the girls around her giggled, whispering "jealous are we?" and "spoil sport!"
Sarah just pouted as the bottle was spun by Sydney beside her.
"Woo hoo!" Trever cheered as the bottle slowed to a stop on him. Sydney boldly stepped forward and pecked the boy daintily on the cheek before sitting back down on the rug once again, leaving Trever crestfallen.
"Sarah, your turn!" Trinity pushed the bottle torwards Sarah expectantly, twitching her head in Jamie's direction and giggling. Sarah smiled at her and spun the bottle. It moved slowly around, passing by face and face another, until it started to slow, when Sarah reached her hand out and pushed it to a stop when it's nose was pointed at Jamie. Many of the girls covered their mouths to hide their smiles at this action, but the boys looked dejected. Sarah stood up and walked in front of Jamie, smiling.
Jamie smiled back, looking slightly nervous but nonetheless excited. Sarah! He had been waiting for her to get him! Smirking seductivly, definatly not like Sarah , she grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him to his feet, causing him to be eye level with her raging, jealousy filled eyes.
"Do you want to kiss me Jamie?"She said softly, her voice carrying an edge that made Jamie want to run away screaming.
"O...of course, Sahra...you're my girlfriend, aren't you?"
Hearing these words, Sarah pulled him forward almost hungerly, planting her lips on his and causing their noses to touch. Jamie closed his eyes and put his arms around her waist, liking the feel of her in his arms. They stayed that way for a moment, before Sarah surprised not only Jamie, but everyone in the room, by opening her mouth and trying to deepen the kiss.
Feeling her attempts to make the most of the moment, Jamie's eyes popped open and widened, trying to figure out what had provoked Sarah to act this way, but not having anything against it. Smiling slightly he opened his own mouth, allowing Sarah's tongue to slip in quickly, almost as though it had belonged there in the first place, and giving Jamie a chance to gather his courage. He tightened his hold on her as he felt her tongue exploring his mouth, and almost on it's own his tongue moved to explore hers, savoring the feel and delighting at the taste.
Suddenly their tongues entanged each other, causing them to find a new game in this pleasureful event. Smiling, Jamie untangled his tongue with Sahra's and immidiately brought it back again, causing his and Sahra's tongue's to be doing an activity, almost dancing. They savored this, but realized, slowly, that their breath was running out. Almost painfully they seperated, each gasping for air, but staring into the other's eyes with a new sence of respect.
The others around the circle gazed, eyes glazed and open mouthed like fish only recently caught with the hook, at the two.
It was then that Kitty phased back through the wall with wide eyes.
"...making out in the middle of the room, with a bunch of kids watching them!" Kitty finished off her detailed explanation of what she had witnessed in Jamie's room, blushing furiously. Jack looked enfuriated.
"Kissing! At TWELVE..."
"Thirteen..." Lance corrected idly, leaning against the wall outside Jamie's room and smirking. "What's the big deal? I was kissing at ten!"
Jack gave him a "look".
"Just as well..."
"Lemmie at the little creeps!" Rogue threghtened simply, moving forward as though to break down the door. "They got penut butter all over my new shoes!"
It was Pietro who quicksilvered in front of her.
"I think we should just calmly tell all his little buddies to leave."
Kitty looked thoughtful.
"There was girls in there too!"
Pietro blinked.
"And buddettes?"
"Stand aside, novice." Jack ordered, lightly pushing Pietro away from the door. The boy gave him a confused look, but moved. Jack put his hand against the door, his palm flat against the hard, mahoghany surface, closing his eyes and letting out a cry of surprise as a pulse of sound released from his hand and through the door into the room. The door stayed as it was, but inside the room, the commotion grew quiet.
"Um..." Jack knocked softly on the door. "J...Jamie? Kiddies?"
Kitty sighed in frustration and grabbed first Jack's arm, then Lance's.
"Oh common, you two. Let's go." And she phased them through the wall. Not long after they had phased, Kurt teleported in with the rest of the wondering bistanders. What they saw surprised them.
"You put them to SLEEP?" Kurt snickered, pointing to the piles of sleeping twelve/thirteen year olds scattered through the room. The others seemed less amused.
"Wait until they wake up." Lance said defensively when they tried to step torward the group of kids. To his surprise, Logan nodded in agreement.
"They'll probably be out for awhile."
"...home for three weeks, and you've alreayd broken four rules!" Scott scolded Jamie, Jake, Jared, and Jimmy gently. The four boys stared up at him innocently.
"And worst of all!" Lance finished for Scott suspensfully, staring at the boys with an offended look. "You didn't even invite me to the party!"
There was a squeak behind the group, and all eyes turned to a solitary figure behind them. Kitty covered her mouth in embarressment, her face turning a strange shade of red as she phased through the wall behind her. Jared turned to Logan, confused.
"Mr.Xavier, I swear, all we did was put a fake mouse in her shoe! Well, we were thinking about putting it in one of her drawers, but then we'd have to wait until she changed her br..."
"You've said enough, Jared! Shaddap!" Jake hissed harshly, wacking the talkative twelve year old none too gently upside the head. This made all the adults, save Logan, chuckle softly.
Jack stepped forward in front of the group professionally.
"Now Jamie," He started solemly, putting a hand on each of Jamie's shoulders and forcing his brother to make eye contact. "Jamie, love is pateint, and love is kind. But let me just tell you this: if you lose your virginity before you're married, I swear I'll..."
"Alright, slim, keep your pants on!" Logan ordered, giving Jack a silencing look. Jack gestured wildly at Jamie and his friends.
"That's exactly what I'm trying to make HIM do!" But another silencing look, and then a nod torwards Scott signalled his mouth should stop working.
Scott nodded back, a slight smile twitching about his mouth as he continued.
"Anyway, you have broken four rules! What do you have to say for yourself?"
Jamie hung his head shamefully for a moment, until he heard voices around him.
"It wasn't Jamie's fault!"
"We planned the whole thing!"
"Yah, it was us!"
Scott, Lance, and Jack exchanged curious looks.
"You're...taking the blame?" Lance asked, confused. The three in front of him nodded, Jimmy looking slightly reluctant. This made Jack grin and gather Jake, Jimmy, and Jared into his arms enthusiastically.
"You guys...aww man!" He managed, practically suffocating the twelve year olds in his grasp. It wasn't until they started choking and gasping did he let them go.
"Alright, you kiddies can leave. I'm givin' you a one way pass to free-way highway. Go have fun."
The four smiled excitedly at Jack before running down the hall happily.
"So...I geuss we got some phone calls to make, huh?" Jack asked Scott and Lance behind him. Scott and Lance looked at each other, confused.
"Huh?" Lance came out with the question going through both of their minds. Jack turned around, a manic glint in his already strangely neurotic eyes.
"A plane. We have to book a plane."
A wave of understanding mingled through the group.
