Summary: Completely AU fic about how Scott and Jean get their powers

Chapter 2- Blow off

Scott walked through the now, near deserted corridors. His headache had become much worse. Suddenly his eyesight flashed red and he blinked, glad to find when he opened his eyes everything was normal. "I am under way to much stress" he thought to himself.

As he rounded the corner he heard Duncan's voice, and Jean giggle. They were standing by the bin just in front of class.

" So do you fancy coming with me and my mates to the movies on Saturday? " Duncan's voice rang out clearly through the corridor.

Scott froze, Saturday was Alex's birthday, Jean was meant to be coming over to help and have dinner, and surely she couldn't forget that.

"I'd love to"

Scott nearly fainted, both from shock and the now intense pain in his head. Jean had always come over for Alex's birthday; she was part of the family. Now she had forgotten because a jock who she'd hardly spoken to before had asked her to come with his friends to the movies.

Scott coughed. Jean jumped out of her skin.

"Hey Scott" she said, her voice wavering, "I was just coming."

Scott forced his voice out "I'll be outside"

He stopped round the corner when he heard Duncan ask, contempt deep in his voice "Your not friends with Summers are you."

Jean looked from side to side, trying to find a way out of the situation.

"Well" Duncan asked impatiently.

Scott strained his ears to hear Jean's reply.

"Not really, we are sort of casual acquaintances, we walk home together."

"Oh cool, well I'll see you Sat." With that Duncan was gone.

Scott stepped out into the corridor, his face was twisted with pain, both at Jean's betrayal and his head, which felt about to explode. As Jean turned round she stared at him in shock. She stood still expecting him to shout at her, but when he spoke it was very quiet and completely devoid of emotion.

"So Jean, we are casual acquaintances, I expect I was stupid thinking we were best friends."

Jean tried to speak " Scott, I."

"Have a nice life Jean." He walked away.

* * * * * Jean stood in the corridor for 15 minutes without moving, tears streaming down her face.

She couldn't believe she had thrown away the most important person in her life, because a cool guy had asked her out.

The headache that had been bothering her all day grew suddenly more intense, and the bin behind her suddenly fell over. Jean jumped, and realising where she was began to walk out of school, her face wet with tears.

I know it's really short again, but I will try and make the next chap longer.
