A/N: Thanks to all those who have reviewed my story so far. Oh and don't expect Evan Daniels to be mentioned more than up here. On with the show!

*BAM!*
Todd had just run, no hopped, straight into me and it appeared that he didn't even notice. Or the fact that I just watched bounce off the ceiling after hitting me. _He's a mutant go figure_ I know the jocks like to pick on him when Fred and Lance aren't around. I mean they really use him as their personal punching bag.
He seemed to be in a panic, without thinking I decide to help him. Without a second thought I flicked out my tongue and wrapped it around his waist, he was after all still quite close and trying to recover. I snap him back towards me as I rush him against the nearest wall and put up my psychic shroud.
I really don't know how to describe it but it's basically like psychic camouflage--people tend not to see me although if you talk too much while it's being used they hear a whisper. And the only reason I know it's mental and not a physical part of my body is that I've routinely turned objects invisible for the fun of it. Though I have to stay in contact with the object to hold up the shroud.
Lucky for me the stereotype is true about jocks in that they have no brains. (A/N: No offense to any jocks reading this.) They ran straight past us with a very confused look on how Todd got away in the middle of hall. Finally after about five minutes of them standing there dumb they left and I could finally drop the shroud.
Todd took a few steps away before turning in the opposite direction that the jocks went and hopped off. _Stupid, stupid, stupid!_ I can't believe I just did that! I look in the direction that Todd went while debating whether or not it was a good idea to show him my gifts. I mean for all I know he just has an irregular set of leg muscles and isn't really a mutant. Just then like all fate determines in the middle of deep thought for a teenager the bell rang for lunch.
I wasn't really happy when I got into the lunchroom again I noticed Todd with his group of friends. I bet he thinks I'm a freak now. I spot Marie and Risty at our usual table already enjoying their lunch. I tend not to eat at the school I like some bugs with my meal, and well I don't think people would understand.
I didn't even get a chance to grab my book out of my locker because of the incident in the hall. So I guess I'll just sit here and listen to whatever these two want to talk about. And just as I started to figure out what they were talking about when Pietro came over. One day I plan on finding out how he moves that quickly.
"Hey Marie! Miss me?" Pietro stated with a very stunning smile. "Always sugah," Marie replied as they kissed for a brief instant. As far as I have figured--Pietro and Marie are seeing each other. Though he tends to slow his pyschobabble while around Marie for which I am eternally grateful. He turned to me and asks, "So why did you save Todd from the jocks earlier?" To be perfectly honest I wasn't expecting him to ask, but I did reply "Well, you see, I, um, wellIkindalikehim!" I was way to embarrassed to say it slowly, though it seems Pietro caught every syllable. "Really?" he looked stun that anyone would say that, or that they would even admit to it. "Yes," as my cheeks started to turn multiple shades of bright red.
He leaned in close when he spoke to me next, "he told the group how you managed to save him. You're a mutant just like him, and me, and the rest of our friends." That stunned me to say the least I could barely answer him, "Really?" He answered me immediately, "Yes. And if you want to learn more about him and us then come to the old gym after school." Just then the bell rang to end lunch.
I said bye to Risty, Marie, and Pietro as I thought about what he said when I caught sight of Todd looking at me. I smiled and walked out of the building. So now it turns into whether or not I want to go and see about him and his friends. I'll worry about it in Social Studies. A stray butterfly came by me when I was walking and well no one was around, so being slightly hungry I shot my tongue out and began to chew on it as I headed towards my class.
Little did I know that I was being watched by two people that I really *really* hate. Jean Grey and Scott Summers. As I found out later they were aware of my gifts only after I used them to help hide Todd.

A/N: Well what do you think? This is a really great idea though I'm not sure I can guarantee camera time to a lot of the X-Men except for Kitty and Marie who are dating Brotherhood members. Oh and for reference she has Chameleon-like abilities--she can stick to walls, has a tongue like Toad's and she has the psychic shroud.
