It had been a week since Leora's confrontation with her stupid twin brother Lance. He had been all wrong coming at her like that. Had he tried to talk to her like a civil person she wouldn't have cared. Geez all she tried to do was make friends and it gets thrown in her face like that. She slammed her locker shut and headed for the cafeteria, with the lunch she made herself seeing how the school lunches don't really settle well with her stomach. She sat at a table by herself and started on her sandwich until half of it suddenly disappeared from her hand.
"You know, Maximof, if you wanted some you should've asked."
"Not as much fun."
"But it makes me like you more as a person.."
"But we're not normal people."
"I know.. but at least I'd like you more as a person personality wise" she finished her half of the sandwich, while he ate the half that he stole.
"Peanut butter and Jelly… man I haven't had this since I was a kid." He said and she pulled out another sandwich and tossed it at him, then pulled out another one for herself. "How many do you have in there??"
"Well I made five all together. I ate one in study hall.. half of one here.. with this one and the one I gave you.. want the last one??"
"Save it for later." He took the bag, Then Lance made his way over to the table looking pretty pissed off. Of course this didn't go unnoticed by the other X-men.
"Leora, Listen to me.." He said obviously trying to keep calm.
"I'm not going to talk to you, Lance. No until you learn to control your temper."
"Why are you being difficult??"
"I'm not being difficult!!!" She said quickly. "I was always this way especially when your temper got out of hand." She said giving Pietro the rest of her sandwich. "I'm not hungry anymore." She said and he took it and she stood up.
"Leora, don't walk away from Me.." Lance said.
"Why not?? You walked away from me!!" She said rather angrily. "You listen to me Lance Alvers and you listen good. I hate your guts now. I didn't think I ever could until you left me with those drunks we used to call parents. I had no friends after you left, they kept me from having friends.. and now that I finally found some you won't spoil this for me.. You hear me!!" She shoved him back eyes blurring up with tears, but she left the cafeteria anyway.
"What he hell is your problem man??" Todd asked. "You know your sister's psycho."
"My problem is that Pietro won't step off of her.. he gets in the way while I'm trying to mend things." Lance said and the speed demon shrugged and actually walked out of the cafeteria.
"You know he won't stop, cutie." Tabitha said. "He likes her…"

"What do you want??" The brotherhood (minus Maximof) looked up to see Scott, Rogue, Jean, and Kurt.
"We want to know what's up with Maximof and Leora." Scott said.
"Listen, whatever kinda relationship they have going on we don't know about it." Todd said.
"Is Summers Jealous??" Fred asked.
"That's not why we came a-tall." Rogue said. "We want to kno what was y'all arguing about in lunch.." She looked at Lance.
"Nothing she can't tell you.." Lance said.
"Then why can't you tell us??" Scott demanded as a gust of wind rushed by.
"Itoldyouthey'dbeherebotheringtheothers.." Pietro said letting Leora get off his back. She whacked him upside the head.
"Pietro I can't understand you when you do that.."
"toobad" he said earning the evil eye from her.
"Anyways Pietro took me to the institute.. Logan wants us all back pronto for some extra training." She said.
"Fine.." Jean said and the whole group turned around and headed for Scott's car. They got inside and Scott asked immediately.
"What's your deal with the brotherhood. Usually you don't like one you don't like them all but that's not the case with"
"Stop right there… this is about the argument I had with Lance right??" Leora asked taking off her locket and holding it up in Scott's face. "Can you see that??"
"Yeah.." Scott said and took off.
"Were you childhood friends or something??" Jean asked passing the necklace back.
"Something…" Leora said getting out of the car and walking into the institute.
"Why do I get the feeling she's hiding something?" Scott asked dumbly.
"That's because she is… and The Professor probably knows about it."
"Its funny how not even one of them even bothered to ask for my last name since I got here." Leora laid her book bag on the bed and was ready to get in the shower. She was about to unbutton her shirt when a voice stopped her.
"Oh please don't undress yourself I'd much rather do it myself."
"Pietro!!" She said slightly irritated by the fact he almost saw her naked.
"That's my name don't wear it out."
"How lamer can you get??" She said heading toward the bathroom.
"Dinner and a movie??? Oh say Friday??"
"Is Pietro Maximof asking me out on a date??"
"No.. butifwehappentomakeoutorsomethingthenwhatever!!" He said rather quickly. "Soyesorno?"
"Well I think Jean's coming so get out of here before I decide to change my mind.."
"Alrightythenbye!!" He said taking off back to the brotherhood.
"How the hell did I understand that??" She thought but continued getting undressed and went in to the bathroom.
