Authors notes: Meet Cole! :D No, he is not going to be any type of romantic interest. Well, not yet. Probably in the next part of the series. * * = Notes.

Min groaned, giving her alarm clock the evil eye. She raised her hand, and found the sound of it exploding, very content. She rolled over, taking in the warm sunlight, allowing herself to wake up. She sat up, swung her knee's over to the side of the bed, where her feet dropped into her slippers. Min stood up, raising her arms in a stretch. One arm off the rotating lamp on the ceiling broke. ~-~Oops...~-~

She clenched her hands into harmless fists, and walked over to her night stand table, putting on her gloves. She headed to her closet, and pulled at the doors. And pulled, and pulled. Then she blew the door knobs away. Easy access.

She pulled out her white capri's, and her red sweater, and tosses them onto her bed, and grabbed her little bag full of toiletries. She left her room, and immediately bumped into Scott.

"Hey, Min. Can you be ready in forty minutes? I'm giving some people a ride to school." He asked, prompting a nod from Min. He gave her a quick smile, then jogged down the hall. Min shook her head mockingly. ~-~He even walks like a prep.~-~

She entered the bathroom, and smiled at her reflection. Her nightly skin goo had kept it as glowing as ever, and her hair looked like it was in perfect washing condition. She flipped on the shower switch, and did just that.

"Ok guys, word is, Min is coming to school today. Which means, we can't skip today. Sorry. But, we might be able to convert her. Any questions?" Lance sat on the hood of his jeep, while all the others were situated around him.

"Uh, yeah... what does she look like?" Fred asked, as he chomped his chompers on a large carrot. Pietro was checking his nails, and Todd was trying to catch a beetle. Well, at least they were playing enough attention to wanna know what she looks like.

Lance held up a picture. Now he had Pietro's attention. "Lance, do you think..."

"No, Pietro. You cannot ask her out if we're planning to convert her." Lance answered, knowing automatically what he was going to say. Pietro always got like that over pretty girls. And even Lance had to admit, with her shiny hair and big black eyes, Min wasn't half bad. Even though Pietro had saw Min before hand, he was still very interested in looking at that picture.

"Now, lets get to school. Hopefully we can pry her away from Shades, before homeroom." Lance said, jumping into his jeep. Pietro and Todd followed suit, and just as Fred was about to, Lance held up his hand. "Forget it. You, after breaking my seat last week, can take the bus."

They revved away, leaving Fred in the dust wake. "But they don't let me on the bus either!"

"Are you Min?" Todd asked, poking a tall girl in white capri's. She turned around, and gave him a smile.

"Yep, I am. Why do you ask, shorty?" Min asked, looking down at him. Two other people stepped up, and suddenly, Min's mind clicked. "The Brotherhood?" She gave them a quizzical look, and the tall one with the shaggy hair nodded.

"I'm Lance. Silver haired there is Pietro, and that's Todd, hopping up and down. Xavier told you about us?" Lance asked, and Min nodded.

"He said that you'd pick a fight with me, right here, right now. So, if you're going to, get it over with. I've got math next." Lance just gaped at her. She wasn't even scared. Or, she was putting on a level of bravado.

"I'm not going to pick a fight. We..."

Min gave them a smile, but it faltered when the bell rang. "I guess it'll have to wait. Lunch." Min said, then ran up the stairs, and into the building.

Cole poked Duncan, then shifted his eyes towards the Japanese girl who was busily scribbling on a piece of paper. "Do you know who she is?" He whispered underneath the croaky voice of Ms Kiltion.

Duncan shrugged, and proceeded to continue blankly staring at nearly impossible figures. But Cole's eyes kept looking at her. She brushed some hair out of her face, then noticed him staring at her fervently. She simply raised a brow, then ripped a small fragment of paper from her book.

*What? -Min*

He grinned down, then scribbled a reply in a chicken scrawl.

*I was just staring cause your so pretty. Nothin wrong with that, right?*

*Oh... I'm Min Juen. And you are...? -Min*

*Cole Fresxok. Are you new here?*

*Yep. But we better end this conversation, Kiltion is out for blood. -Min.*

Hey Lee! Whats up?

I met the coolest guy today. He's hot, not a football player (I've got -some- standards) has good grammar, and nice! And he thinks I'm pretty.

And I met four other guys. The Brotherhood. They told me at lunch that they wanted to recruit me for their team, and I would be more of an asset to them then the 'X-geeks' as they put it. They seem nice, but they say they don't even have running water. Um, ew.

My mom said that you fixed the Jag. Good work, but if you even think about taking the first ride without me, I will have to hurt you. :)

I got to go, I've got homework. Talk to you later!

-Min, Minny, Minno, Minla, Mingirl, Min Jay, Min Juen.
