Winter in Westchester

Disclaimer: I own basically nothing. Matrix, a.k.a. Jessy Hudson, is an original character, if the name is not, but the X-Men belong to a lot of people who make infinetely more money than me. On with the show!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jessy slid silently over the ice to the soft Japanese music coming out of her boombox, which was placed at the side of the pond. She twirled, her short skating skirt twirling with her, and didn't notice the two boys standing at the crest of a nearby hill staring at her with mouths agape.
The world spun, Maaya Sakamoto sang on endlessly from the speakers, and her skate snagged on an uneven piece of ice where a pinecone had frozen.
"Aaagh!" she screamed. But then, a weird thing happened. At least, weird by normal human standards. As she plummeted to the ice, she extended her hands and closed her eyes. Two inches from the surface of the frozen pond, she stopped, midair.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bobby and St. John's mouths flew open. The girl in front of them was a MUTANT! A mutant, just like them! As they watched, she picked herself up midair and dusted herself off.
Bobby started to walk towards her and tripped, sending a winded "Ooof!" into the air that startled the girl. She looked up at the two boys, one of which was face-down in the powdery snow, and looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"Wait, calm down!" St. John yelled as she ran to the boombox.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jessy looked up at the two boys on the hill. The one who had tripped had gotten up and called to her after the first.
Thoughts raced through her head. Had these two just seen her use those cursed powers? Were they like the hunters she had run into before in the woods? She decided that she couldn't take the chance and fled, the boombox under one arm and a forgotten jacket lying where she had discarded it before turning to the ice.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
St. John walked down to the pond and picked up the jacket.
It was a high school football jacket, the logo for Milwaukee High on the back.
He turned back to Bobby and showed him the jacket, before deciding to go back to the Professor and tell him about this. The girl was long gone by now.
Like it? Love it? Want me to kill it with a swift blow to the head? This is the first time I've tried to write anything serious, and I've already cooked up a lot more after this really short chapter. So, r/r if you want it, baby!
