Two

Ami's life since the day at the school hadn't exactly been a joyous experience. She was no longer on speaking terms with Nicole, and since Tanya wasn't to thrilled with the third girl either, it looked as if they'd be one roommate short of the rent soon. As if that wasn't enough, work was becoming overwhelming now that her only source of escape was gone. Her life had become an exercise in monotony, and she was unhappier now than she had ever been.

"He's a mutant!" She had told Tanya that day once they got home. "He's blue! He's fucking blue!"

She had been forced to take in entirely too much information in a short period of time. Kurt, her Kurt was not only a mutant, which he hadn't even hinted at, but he was a blue mutant. A blue mutant with clawed hands, yellow eyes and she thought she might have seen a tail. A tail! Exactly when in their hours on the phone and hundreds of e-mails had he even remotely let on that he had a tail? You would think that sort of thing would come up at some point. For a brief moment she had felt bad for running out of there like that, but her anger stopped that emotion right in it's tracks. He had lied to her, this was not her fault, and she could face that now.

Another horrible day of work behind her, Ami packed up her things and started to head out of the office. Thunder rumbled somewhere in the vicinity, signaling the rainstorm that was soon to come. Let it rain, she didn't care. She really didn't care about much right now.

Ami pulled out of the parking lot and the rain began to pour down, severely hindering her ability to see the road. She resigned herself to following the dim taillights in front of her, and as if on cue for the worst possible timing, her cell phone started to ring.

"What the… oh fuck it," she grumbled, choosing to ignore it rather than risk killing herself. It was probably just the wrong number anyway. Nobody important called her anymore.
