Lunch

I was sitting at a table looking for the brother hood guys. Scott, Kurt, Even, Jean, Kitty and Rogue surrounded me. "What do you want?" I said to them.

"How about the truth?" Scott said.

"What do you want me to tell you?" I said coolly.

"Why did ya really leave us?"

"Your not for me." I said.

"Okay so the losers are?" Evan said.

"It wasn't my choice to come here. If I have to leave the gang, I'll always be part of the same side."

"And what is that?"

"Antisocial."

"What's that sopose to mean?" Jean screamed. It was oviose it was that time of the mouth for her. Come on she's totally PMSing here.

"The only one that is even half decent out of y'all is Rogue. She knows what I'm coming from. At least with the Brotherhood, I feel at home. They know what I've been through, they've been they've too. The loneliness I've known is gone. I have Lance and the rest of them. It's the first time I feel like part of a team. Read the poem I wrote" I tossed a paper to Jean.

"Let see, how is it??" she unfolded the piece of paper. And read aloud:
'Never Knowing

I was once a girl that cared
I was once a girl who had dreams
The careing is gone
The dreams turned into nightmares.
The person who cared seemed to now be gone

Looking at the person in the mirrior,
Behind the make up
Behind the clothing
Behind all the material things
What dose that leave?
A torn, jaded girl without hope

Just let me be and I'll be fine
Or so I keep saying
Is it real?
Or is it a dream
More like a nightmare.

Let me find the lost girl in side of me
She might be lost forever if I never look
I want to see her again
When I was her, life was simpler
I want to find her.'

All of them started to look at me. None of them knew what to say. I took the paper from Jean. "I have to go." I walked off to where Lance and the rest of the guys were standing.

"Hey Ann what did they want?" Lance asked.

"Don't worry about them." I said giving Lance a huge. The princeipal was coming while I was hugging Lance. I didn't care. Mr. Kelly was walking closer and I leaned in for a kiss. Lance gave me a quick kiss. "Is that all I get? A quick kiss?"

"Ann you know that we can't get in trobble for this."

"Why can't we… its not like we have anything to lose?"

"Mr. Alvers, are you showing the new girl around?" Mr. Kelly asked. He had seen all of this.

I had to think fast. "Please don't call me the 'new girl.' There is no reason I deserve a different tital then anyone else. Or is it in this school, the new people get pushed to the outer working of the school?" I asked with my New Jersey voice (really fast). The Brotherhood stood behind me while I was doing this.

"I am just simply stating the fact that you are the newest person in this school."

"Are you also going to add how I should be in 8th grade but passed that stupid test to be moved to the next grade? And what if I don't want that tital of the new girl? What would you do then? Would you call me by my last name like you do the rest of the people here? Or would you do something different and call me by my first name? Or would you just not call me anything?" By the look on his face it looked like he had no clue what to do.

"Taking your feelings into concideration, I will call you by your last name like I do to all the people in this school."

"Question, why do you treat us different then the football players?" I wasn't about to stop. He could see this.

"Maybe you would like to take this up with me in detention today after school?"

"I'll be there so you can answer all my questions on how this school works in conpairison to home." What did I just do? Did I just chalange Mr. Kelly to a duel? Or worse was I about to get the whole school agenst me… sounds like home…
