Lillith was awakened by Rogue shaking her shoulder.
"Lillith, wake up, we're about to miss late bell."
"WHAT?! Oh man! And on the first DAY!"
Lillith ran to her closet and pulled out a pair of shorts with safty pins around the bottom of the legs and a light blue tank top with a white fishnet shirt over it. She pulled on her sky blue sandles, grabbed her bag and followed Rogue out of the house and into a red sports car where everyone was waiting.
Her hair needed brushed so she borrowed Kitty's brush and then slipped her watery looking bandana over her hair, flipping it back from her face.
"I'm really sorry about this. I ment to get up, but, I never noticed the time. This won't happen again."
"It's okay Lillith, Curt and Jean got up late too. Can't you tell?"
Lillith looked at Curt and burst into laughter. He wore cargo pants with a hawaiian shirt and boots.
"Oh god, that is the most hidious outfit I've ever SEEN!"
Lillith followed Rogue to the sign in desk and got herself enrolled in school, got her scedual and followed Rogue to the cafeteria. They snagged some sandwishes and soda and scarfed them down. The bell rang and Lillith got lost on the way to her first class. She ran in late, and then didn't know what they were doing.
"I'm having a very hectic morning. I'm sorry for all this, ma'am."
"Its quite all right Lillith."
"Hey, Lilly of the Valley."
Lillith felt her anger bubbling. She put a lid on it. Later. She'd find the nearest body of water.
"My name is LILLITH, not LILLY."
"Lilly of the Valley! Lilly of the Valley!"
"LILLITH WILLIAMS YOU HAVE A VISITOR AT THE OFFICE. LILLITH WILLIAMS TO THE OFFICE."
The intercom sounded, cutting into the rushing sound in her head. Lillith took her bag and went to the front desk. Her uncle Derk was standing against a wall, reading the paper.
"Uncle De! Uncle De!"
Lillith smiled and ran for him, tossing her arms around his neck and hugging him wildly. Her uncle chuckled.
"Lillabee! Hey babe. Kylee called and said you were in the area."
"Yeah, at the Xavior Institute."
"The Freak House?"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Lillabee, look at you, you got big FAST!"
Lillith giggled and poked her uncle in the stomach.
"You've all ways been big, Uncle De."
"Lill! LILL!"
Lillith turned around and was almost knocked over by James as he bowled into her, hugging her around the waist.
"JAMIE!"
Lillith hugged her little brother and kissed his shining white-blonde hair. He looked like their mother. She smiled.
"So, Jamie, have you been good for Uncle De and Aunt Karol? Did you get in any fights with Lee?"
"Not one! Uncle De and Aunt Karol are SOOOO cool Lill!"
"Glad to hear it. So, why did I get called down."
"Well, we wanted to see our favorite neice. And James was dying to see his favorite big sister."
"YEAH! LILL! This is so great, now we can go skate boarding together!"
"If I can get a good board, the Valley didn't have any skate shops."
"None?! Wow, everyplace has to have a skate shop. I'll take you to RADS after school when are you out."
"Ummm, 3:15."
"I'll wait there for ya!"
Lillith nodded and ruffled her brothers hair.
"Back to class scamp."
The boy giggled and hugged her hard and then raced off down the hall. The bell rang and Lillith gave her uncle a hug.
"I've got class now Uncle De, but I'm sure I'll see you later, so, bye!"
Lillith raced off, falling in with Rogue who was waiting by the corner.
"Who's the big guy?"
"Thats my Uncle De. His names Derk but I just call him De."
"The kid?"
"My little brother James. I had a really big family. Uncle De and Aunt Karol live here in Bayville and James came here while I stayed with our big sister Kylee."
"Wow. Who else do you have?"
"Umm... Grandma Haylee, Grandpa George, our cousins Lee and Andy live in Bayville with De and Karol, they're their kids. Josh and Ray live in Bayville, but they're a pair of trouble makERS!"
"LILLAFREE!"
Lillith found herself flying into a locker, pinned by Josh and Ray, the two grinning identical buffons.
"You big oxen, get off her!"
Rogue was pulling at Josh who shrugged her off.
"Lay off, Freakette, go play with some other freaks."
"RAY! You leave Rogue alone, she's my friend!"
"Sorry Lillafree. You all ready knew it was us?"
"Who else would do such a dumb stunt?"
Her cousins let her up and she pulled Rogue towards art class.
"Ray, Josh, we gotta GO!"
"Aww, skip class with us!"
"NO! Bye bye now!"
Lillith and Rogue outdistanced the two lumbering idiots.
"Like I said, Ray and Josh, but their troublemakers."
"Yeah, they call me the same as everyone else. You shouldn't really hang out with me."
"And why not? I think your great."
Lillith flashed her friend winning smile and was rewarded with a faint grin from Rogue. there was a soft whoosh then the backlash of someone moving VERY fast past them and Lillith blinked, while Rogue was tossed back a few steps. She'd caught sight of a tall boy with white hair and the most amazing eyes. She stopped dead.
"Who was that?"
Rogue came to her side and grunted.
"Quicksilver."
"Huh?"
"Pietro Maximoff. He's a jerk and a bad influence, don't bother him."
"Oh... Thats too bad."
Lillith smiled to herself through the rest of the day. After lunch was gym. She changed into her white gym shorts and a pink tank top with pink sneakers and tied her long hair up with a pink scrunchie. She walked out and almost ran into Pietro.
"Oh! Sorry, I didn't see you, are you okay?"
The other looked over at her for a moment then nodded. He sounded as good as he looked.
"Yeah. I'll live. Who're you?"
Lillith smiled and held out her hand.
"Lillith Williams. I'm new here."
The boy slowly shook her hand. His was warm. She smiled a little more and followed him to the gym. They were playing soccer. She had been on the soccer team. She ended up on Pietro's team. He was good, but his timing was terrible. She caught the ball and dribbled her way across the field, dodging the other team and getting a easy goal. She ran towards her team who were cheering and passed Pietro who was looking her over.
She was talking to the coach about any soccer teams when Pietro waved. She had changed and he had his gym bag. She went over and smiled, walking down the hall.
"Did you want something?"
"When did you learn to play soccer like that."
Lillith blushed. Her sister played pro for a while.
"My sister is Kylee Williams..."
"KYLEE WILLIAMS? No way."
"Yes way, she's coming to see me in six days."
"Wild. So, she taught you?"
"Yeah, I played on our school team in Hunter County for a while but then there was a big explosion at Hunter County Labs and my parents..."
"Sorry. Well, I've gotta run, but, I'll be seeing more of you, Lillith Williams."
Lillith blushed and waved as he sped off.
"So, you've made some friends? Not the best guy to be friends with."
"Hi Scott. Lay off, I'll choose my OWN friends thanks."
"All right... I just hope you realize what you're getting into here..."
Lillith walked down the hall with her bag and almost didn't see James. He was being bullied by a taller boy with shaggy dark brown hair.
"Leave me alone Lance! I'm just waiting for someone!"
"Jamie?"
Lillith push the boy away roughly and hugged James. Then she whirled, her head rushing, her eyes cold. She shoved the dark hair boy back a few times.
"So, you can push my little brother around, but you can't do it too me? Well? Huh? Come on big guy, push me, just try and fight me."
The boy looked angrilly at her before Pietro flashed up and a got between them. Lillith's anger flooded away and her head stopped rushing.
"Lillith?"
Lillith flashed the boy her most charming smile and pulled her brother away.
"I'll see you later Pietro, but tell your buddy boy there to lay off my little brother."
Lillith led James to the institute and tossed their stuff into her room.
"Lets check out that skate shop."
She clasped her brother's shoulders as they rocketed to the shop. She jumped off and walked in, seeing James tooling around outside. She pushed back her long hair and her eyes narrowed as she walked the racks.
She'd browsed for a while before she saw her board. It was a futuristic one with a watery look to it. She tested the rotation on it, and balance and was sold. She took her savings from her pocket and walked to the counter. The man behind it eyed her nervously before she slid the money over.
"I'm buying this board. Its the best."
The man rang her up and watched her leave.
Lillith put the board on the ground and fixed her grip before she started to roll. James fell into her air break and the two flew, their wheel's humming their song.
The two took turns riding the air break until they were just blurs, there wheels rotating so fast they barely touched the ground. Lillith reduced her wind resistance and blasted past Evan and his group of friends. At the park she increased her air resistance and slowed down. She was back in her swing.
After her parents had died, she just wanted to go fast, the faster she went, the better she felt.
Evan finally caught up to where she was, panting.
"Where'd you learn to skate like that?"
"Myself. If you can ride an air break you can increase your speed. Ride to the right and up to a person to catch the air break."
Pietro sped into veiw.
"Hey Daniels. Lillith, race me."
Lillith smiled, her calm, racing smile. She put a foot on her board and tipped her head to the side.
"Name the place."
They squared up and took off. Lillith kept up, riding Pietro's air break. Then she pulled around him once her speed was up and caught first. Pietro was stunned.
"You're fast."
"I know."
