The Secret Diary of Jean Grey

Day 1: Won soccer MVP today. 12th year running. Go me! Some people say I use my powers to cheat, I say, what do I need superpowers for when I'm just that darn good?

Day 2: Got invitation from a professor Xavier to start attending a school for mutants. Figured it was worth a shot. Could go for change of scenery anyway, as school so easy now that I know more than half the teachers put together.

Day 3: Shocked to see that Scott Summers also goes to mutant school! Must admit, had no clue that sunglasses were to keep him from vaporizing people with eye lasers. Always thought he wore them because he liked the dark, mysterious look. Oh well. Should be a fun time anyway as I can spend more time with dream boy.

Day 4: Professor Xavier a very strange man. Thinks he's running a superhero club or something. Tried to give me sick code names; told him Jean Grey IS code name. Seriously. "Amazonia"? What century is he living in, anyway?

Day 5: Xavier continues to treat me like superhero Barbie doll. Gave me new outfit today. All I can say is Blech! Green is SO not my color! Not to mention that it totally distorts my figure. Desperately hoping that another mutant with better fashion taste opens a school in the immediate future.

Day 6: No new mutant schools opening today. Looks like I'm stuck here. Caught Xavier gazing longingly at Scott. Pervy mutant fancier. I'll kill him if he tries anything funny.

Day 7: Went on shopping spree at mall today. Got all the latest fall fashions. Glad Xavier lets us charge stuff to his account. Wonder where he got all that money anyway. In other happenings, a new mutant arrived today. Name is Kurt. Kinda looks like a cat.

Day 8: Scott made a fool of himself trying to shake Kurt's hand when he arrived. Understandable at first, since 5 fingers meeting 3 not such a good combination. But 10 times is slightly suspicious, especially since Scott's grin kept getting wider and wider each time, and by the end he looked like he was more interested in rubbing Kurt's fingers than actually shaking his hand. Hmm. Never known Scott to be this friendly around anybody before.

Day 9: Decided to be more patient with Scott. Am definitely reading way too much into the whole handshake thing yesterday. Scott's probably just glad to have another guy friend to be with. Admit that it can get lonely with only three people around besides Xavier. No reason to worry that dream boy might not be interested in me. Nope, none at all.

Day 10: Powers getting stronger. Used them to create talking mirror. Mirror says I am the prettiest mutant here. Pretty smart for a talking piece of glass.

Day 11: Mirror starting to get an attitude. Getting ready for school today and the thing spent 20 minutes giving me fashion tips. As if I need them.

Day 12: Smashed mirror to bits when it said Kurt was the prettiest mutant around. What nerve! In hindsight, probably not a good idea to invest inanimate objects with personality. Will stick to telepathic juggling from now on.

Day 13: Kurt "accidentally" teleported into my room while I was getting ready for bed. Couldn't tell if he was blushing from embarrassment or excitement. Blew him through the wall just to be safe; can't have anybody finding out about Hello Kitty underwear.

Day 14: Favorite blouse and khakis have gone missing today. Hope they haven't gotten lost in laundry. Noticed Kurt sporting new look today. Willing to admit that he looks almost as good in lavender as I do. But since when does he have time to go to the mall?

Day 15: Had to defend mansion tonight when Todd Tolanski tried to break in. Told professor several times before that his "Do not enter" sign would not be an effective deterrent to burglars. Believe he is contemplating acid- shooting lawn sprinklers next.

Todd seemed to want to say hello to Kurt very badly, judging by the time they spent rolling around on the second floor together. Hoping that will keep Kurt away from dream boy Scott, although Todd not exactly boyfriend material. Too slimy and insect addiction a definite turn-off.

Day 16: Xavier's friend Logan showed up to get rid of Todd. Retractable Swiss Army knives look menacing yet strangely attractive. Can't say the same about all that stubble, though.

Will write more later; have to get ready for hair appointment tomorrow.
