After History, Lily had math with Peter. Because she was so young and the
courses she had to take were so simple, the older students taught her a lot
of her subjects. After an hour of math with Peter and an hour of science
with Bobbie, Lily got to go to lunch. Walking into the dining hall, Lily
realized that Jackson was sitting all by himself. After quickly getting her
lunch, she walked over to sit with him.
"Is anybody sitting here?" she asked.
"No," he replied.
"Are you ok?" she asked, concerned for her new friend.
"I got in a fight with Jacob last night."
"You did? Why?" Jacob could be a little weird at times, but Lily had never seen him do anything that could start a fight.
"He kept waking me up. He was pacing all over the place, since he doesn't sleep. The Professor has been really strict about him walking around the mansion alone at night, so he basically just sits in the room all night. He was making noise and I just cracked."
"Wow."
"Yeah, and that's not the weirdest part. Ever since then, weird things have been happening."
"What kind of weird things?"
"Well, first off, when we got caught fighting, Peter drug us to the Professor's office. On the way there, we passed by the rec room and when I blinked, the TV turned on."
"Wait a minute, when YOU blinked? I thought Jacob was the only on that did that."
"Yeah, well, Peter chewed him out for it, but he says he didn't do it."
"Maybe your powers are evolving."
"I thought so, too, then, after talking to Bobby this morning at breakfast, I went to drink my orange juice and it was frozen."
"Wow. Have you talked to anyone? The professor?"
"No, I think he's still a little mad that he had to get up at 2 o'clock this morning to deal with me."
"Well, if I were you, I'd talk to him. Soon."
"Woah," Jackson said, in a low voice.
"What?"
"We have an English test with Rogue, and you didn't study."
"What?! Woah, wait, how did you know that?!"
"I think I get it!! I'm absorbing other people's powers! After concentrating on being mad at Jacob, I got his. After talking to Bobby, I got his! Now, after talking to you, I can read minds!"
"Wait, can you still do Jacob's thing, or did it wear off?"
"It must have worn off. Bobby's too, cause my food is still hot. I'll bet after I go away from you, I won't be able to read minds anymore."
"Hold on, do you think this is like what Rogue does?"
"No, it can't be! I mean, if it was, I'd have had to touch you and you'd be in a coma!"
"Wow. You need to go see the Professor. Blow off the English test. I'll cover for you."
"Ok, see ya," and he left. The thought of Jackson reading her mind didn't little well with Lily. She quickly finished off the last of her Jello and went outside. She had half an hour before her test and she needed to clear her head. Walking through the park, she practiced changing into the people she saw. She still had not gotten voices down, so it was always funny when she looked like Logan and sounded like herself. Walking over to the lake, she looked into the water. Her reflection was currently that of Kitty. She changed back to her normal self and decided to try something. She changed the color of her skin to a normal pink, then her hair to a light brown. Last, she changed her eyes to a lilac color. Looking at herself, she realized that this as what she wanted to look like. The reflection wavered as her tears caused ripples in the water. She quickly stood up and wiped her face with her hand-her normal, pink hand. She changed back to her regular form and began walking back towards the mansion.
So much pain, so sad.
It was a thought. Someone was spying on her. She stopped walking and angrily walked to a tree and leaned against it. Concentrating on the voice, she realized that her watcher was actually Kurt. She looked straight up and was met with a nervous, embarrassed smile.
"You can come down, I'm not that mad," she called up. Immediately, he was in front of her, on the ground.
"Dude, that really freaks me out."
"Sorry. It's easier than trying to climb down with a tail, though."
"Yeah, I bet. So, do you usually make a habit out of spying on people?"
"No, just you."
"Well, that's kind of freaky really."
"Well, you just seem so sad all the time. I thought you could use some cheering up. Then, when I saw you all alone, I realized you needed to be alone."
"Why are you worried about me?"
"Because we are in the same boat, so to speak. Neither of us can go anywhere without being stared at. You, on the other hand, are constantly tempted with being able to just morph into some other person and remain there forever. But if you do that, you will loose part of yourself. I want to make sure that you don't feel the need to take such drastic measures."
"You just met me. You're assuming an awful lot."
"Well, I suppose I am. But then again, maybe I know what I'm talking about."
"How do you keep from thinking about it? About how different you are? I mean, look at us! We're blue! Like a crayon!"
"Well, another thing is I have faith. You do not. I know that there is a God and he made me this way for a reason, maybe just to meet and help you."
"So, you have faith ion some thing that you've never seen. You've never seen it, you've never touched it, there is no proof it exists, yet you believe it's there! How?"
"Some of the best things in life can not be touched or seen. Love, music, a cool breeze on a hot day. You can't see it, but you can see what it does. I cannot see God, but I can see the flowers, the clouds, all of His creation. If He didn't love us or think about our well being, why would he have allowed me to live when I was abandoned? You could easily ask the same question."
This conversation was getting a little too heavy for Lily and she realized that she was late for the test.
"I've got to go."
"Alright. It was nice talking to you." Lily didn't reply as she walked back to the mansion. A/N-I wanna thank all you awesome peeps that have been sending me revues and apologize for how long it took to get this chapter up. My word program was not being nice and kept shutting down while I was typing. ANYWAY, I've gotten a lot of emails about this being a "Mary Sue" story. I don't know what that means, so if one of you really nice people could fill me in, I'd REALLY appreciate it. Also, in this story, I am not Night Lily. I took Night Lily as my pen name because, after I thought it up for the character, I got jealous and stole it for me. Um, I think that's it. Oh, and don't stress out over the whole thing lining up with the movie/comic book/shows. I've done my homework and, hopefully, it will line up with everything very nicely. I think that's it! Thanks, y'all!
