Sugar and Spice

Dislcaimer: "I may be a shallow guy, but a shallow guy with a great ass!"

Hey guys, sorry for the late update but, as some of you know, i was REALLY ill the last couple of days. But i'm better now, yay!. Thanks for all your reviews, they are always appricated. The 'Silence of the Lambs' crack is actually from an episode of Friends, so i can't really take credit for it.

Chapter 9 - News from the outside.
It had been almost two weeks since the girls had been dragged far away from their home to this hellhole that called itself a camp. There had been a meeting called in the dining hall, to which everyone was meant to attened. The girls sat once again on the 'freak table', Tabby flicking paper balls at Teryn's head. Suddenly, Haloway walked to the front of the room.

"Okay you poor excuses for young women", she shouted, "in two days time, you shall be allowed visitors to the camp. Letters have already been sent to your respective homes, and you may have as many visitors as you like. I know most of you will have boyfriends visiting, and you haven't seen each other for a few weeks, but if i catch any teenage hormones gone array, said boyfriend will suffer a trip to the island. Am i clear?".

The girls all nodded, a few looking a little downhearted. They filed out of the dining hall, most talking excitedly about their visitors.

"I am SO dead", said Amanda, with a sigh, "my parents are gonna come, i know it!".

"So?", said Rogue with a shrug, "big deal".

"So will Kurt".

"Oh".

Amanda looked at her cabin mates in desperation.

"Please, you guys HAVE to distract my parents for about an hour or two so i can see Kurt", she said, "i've missed him".

"Don't worry girl", said Tabby, flinging her arm around Amanda's shoulder, "i've got no visitors, so i'll watch out for you".

"Not even Roberto?", said Wanda with an evil chuckle.

"I'm never gonna live that down, am i?", said Tabby, "and you're a good one to talk witchy woman, i bet you can't WAIT to see Toad again".

"That is so not true", said Wanda, crossing her arms.

"Uh huh", said Amara, "i'll belive you Wanda, thousands woudn't".

"Hey Pryde".

Kitty winced as she truned around to see Riley. With her stood Amy...and Teryn.

"What is it now Riley?", snapped Kitty.

"Teryn here tells me that you split up with YOUR boyfriend", teased Riley, "that's too bad.The only visitors you'll get are your mummy and daddy. Me on the other hand, i'm waiting for MY boyfriend to show up. He is strong, gorgeous and has an Itallian accent".

"Good for you", said Rogue sarcastically, "forgive me for not congradulating you madly".

"Well you don't have one either do you, Goth?", said Amy, "Teryn here told us all about it!".

"Teryn needs to shut her big mouth", snapped Jean, "she's just peeved because I got Scott over her. Hah!. Got one over on you, you..you...scum queen!".

Everyone stared at Jean. This was a new side to her...it was pretty scary. Teryn just gawped at her, open mouthed and wide eyed. She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Well mutant scum should only hang out with mutant scum", she said, "except of course Amanda, you dating that teleporting freak sickens me".

"That's it, it's go time super tramp!", snarled Amanda, having to be held back by Jean and Kitty as she flung herself for Teryn's throat.

"Ooohhh toucy", said Teryn with a smirk, "but i know something the rest of the school doesn't know. You're beloved boyfriend is also that blue freak with the tail that we saw on TV, isn't he? What's the matter with him?. Is he ashamed of his own freaky looks?. I would be if i were him, i'd lock myself away in a dark cavern and throw away the key".

"Okay, you deserve what's coming to you", said Kitty, releasing her hold on Amanda, Jean doing the same.

With a scream of rage, Amanda, pounced on Teryn and proceeded to beat the snot out of her. Amy and Riley watched on in horror, before glancing up at the rest of the group.

"She's human", said Wanda dangerously, "do you really want to pick a fight with mutants when a human can do that?".

Amy and Riley took one look at each other before high-tailing it away. They came back a few minutes later with Haloway, who yanked Amanda off a burised and beat up Teryn, complete with broken and bloody nose. Amanda herself had a black eye...but that was all.

"What the heck is this all about?!", shouted Haloway, looking at both girls.

"She just wigged out and attacked me for no reason!", sniffled Teryn, pointing at Amanda, "it was completely unprovoked".

"It was not!", shouted Amanda, "she called my boyfriend a freak. She insulted him!".

"That isn't true", said Riley, "me and Amy can vouch for that".

"Yeah, well we can vouch that she DID", stated Jean, motioning the the rest of the mutants around her.

Haloway looked in thought for a second before letting go of Amanda.

"Seven against three", she said, then turned to Teryn, "you and me are gonna have some 'words' about accepting others....right after we go to the med cabin to have that nose fixed up. Get some ice on that eye Miss Stefton".

With that, Haloway walked off, dragging Teyrn with her. Amy and Riley stared at the others for a second before following the angry counsilor.

"Was Haloway just...on our side?", asked Amara, blinking, "or did i just imagine it?".

"No, it happened...i think", said Jean, then looked at Amanda, "come on, lets get some ice on that before it swells up".
"Well, my idea to look nice for Kurt has gone out of the window", said Amanda, looking at her black eye in her mirror.

"Yeah, but at least you look better than Teryn", said Tabby with a smirk.

Teryn walked past them, wearing a piece of metal over her broken nose, straps coming from it to round the back of her head to keep it on.

"That's fetching!", shouted Kitty with a laugh.

"I just LOVED you in 'Silence of the Lambs'", said Wanda.

"Shut up, freaks", muttered Teryn, her voice pinched because of the object on her face.

She stormed off to sit with her new found friends, Amy and Riley.

"Remind me never to get on YOUR bad side Amanda", said Jean with a laugh, "you really socked it to her".

"No one insults my Elf-Boy and gets away with it", said Amanda proudly, "though my eye REALLY hurts, but i don't want to cover it with makeup. I want to show it, loud and proud. Whoooo!".

"Painkillers kicking in, huh?", said Rogue with a raised eyebrow.

"You bet they are!",said Amanda enthusiastically.

"I am so very very glad that we don't have to sleep in your cabin tonight", said Amara, "i don't think i could cope with Riley's moaning....or her Painkiller high".

"Yeah, but we have to cope with someone who'll breathe like Darth Vader", pointed out Tabby, jerking a thumb to Teryn, who was tyring to suck up soup with a straw.

"Darn, forgot about that", said Amara with a sigh, "anyone want to switch places with me?".

Everyone shook their heads.

"Can't blame a girl for trying", she said with a sigh.
