I want the girls to have a crush on Nathan, because he's hot, and smart,
and the main character, and without him there wouldn't be a story.

Chapter 10: girl's talk
Kitty ran to her two best friends, Jubilee and Rogue, who were sitting on one of the stone benches under a huge willow.
"He is soooo adorable," she said, literally falling on the bench, her two friends looking at her.
"You talked to him?" Jubilee asked, unbelievingly.
"Yes I did," She answered. "Thought I couldn't?"
"I didn't think you'd have the guts," Jubilee said truthfully. "What's he like? I only saw him from the window."
"Talk," Rogue said. "I didn't see him at all, so be precise. Logan just told me he was a decent kid. What did that guy do to get on Logan's good side?"
"Good question," Jubilee said, laughing. "Now, Kitty, talk."
"Well, the first thing that really caught my eye was his eyes," she started dreamingly. "I didn't think it was possible of having them that green. I'm telling you, like . . . really green."
They giggled, then laughed freely at their friend's energized face.
"He has that sort of face you just want to squeeze to death," she continued, grabbing an imaginary head. "He is soooo hot."
"What does he look like?" Rogue asked.
"Brown hair dyed blue at the tips, pierced ear, tanned skin, tall, Canadian I think," Kitty started. "Maybe that's why he got on the Wolverine's good side!"
"That would be stupid!" Jubilee said.
"A smile to die for," Kitty continued.
"What's his name?" Rogue asked, interested.
"Nathaniel, but he told me to call him Nathan or Nate. Never Nathaniel, because he doesn't really like it," she said.
"I have to meet that guy," Jubilee said dreamily.
"He's not a student yet," Rogue said. "He wasn't at the class and that room he was in isn't a dormitory."
"Bobby said that he arrived in that BMW parked in front of the door," Jubilee added. "He had a wounded friend and he's now in the lab in the lower level."
"Do you think he looks like him?" Kitty asked. "I mean, on a hot-guy scale of one to ten?"
"Well the way you describe this 'Nathan', he looks to be twelve on *your* scale," Rogue said, amused as Kitty nodded approvingly. "Who knows?"
"Let's see if we can sneak into the lab," Jubilee proposed mischievously.
The two other girls frowned, but then smiled, indulging the idea.
Without a word, they got up and jogged to the main door. Getting into the elevator was no problem, and getting to the lower levels either, but the tuff part was getting into the lab. Kitty looked through the wall using her power, and saw that Jean wasn't in the room.
"Coast's clear," she said, taking each one of her friends by the arm and pulling them through the wall.
They walked up to where the medical tables where and where they were expecting to see the body of the boy. He wasn't there. Jubilee and Rogue started looking at the medical instruments while Kitty started to look more around the room. She saw a shadow on the floor coming from the opposite corner.
"Hey, girls," she called, walking towards the place where she thought the shadow was being projected.
When she contoured the little wall separating the part of the room, she stopped dead. Jubs and Rogue reached her and stopped also.
Max was there, wearing baggy pants and a red shirt he had taken from his suitcase. His eyes were closed and he seemed to be in a sort of trance. His legs were folded, his arms folded on them in a relaxed posture. He was floating four feet from the ground.
The girls looked at him for a while, wondering what to do. Rogue was ready to go and leave him in peace, but Jubilee wasn't satisfied and wanted to talk to him. She walked a few steps forward, raised her arm and touched his arm with the tip of her fingers. The reaction was instantaneous.
Max opened his eyes with shock, looked at Jubs for an instant and fell to the floor, crashing into the chair under him.
Kitty raced to help him get up, and Jubilee bent down to see if he was okay.
Max shook his head.
"Wow," he said. "That was weird."
"Are you okay?" Kitty asked, concern in her voice.
"Yeah, yeah," Max said, pushing himself to his feet.
"What was that?" Jubilee asked curiously.
The boy looked at her for an instant.
"Euh . . . I was sort of practicing my power. I float in air, or something like that," Max said, rubbing his head. "I can't get to use my senses when I use it and Miss Grey told me to just practice. She won't let me out," he said, annoyed. "Who are you?"
"I'm Kitty, she's Jubilee and that's Rogue," Kitty said, introducing her friends. "We heard that you were injured when you got here."
"Gees, news travels fast around this place," he said, looking up at the ceiling. "And yeah . . . I was injured and still am," he said, raising his shirt for them to see the bandage on his ribs.
Kitty and Jubilee were a bit more interested in his muscles.
"You work out?" Jubs said, looking at his muscled abdomen.
"Euh, yeah," he said, reddening lightly, pulling down his shirt. "I did in Ontario."
"You come from there?" Rogue asked, finally saying something. She was more interested in evaluating the boy from the way he behaved with her friends, than to see for herself.
"Yeah. I followed my friend after he escaped those guys from the mutant detention facility. I wasn't a mutant, then."
"And you were still your friend's friend after you discovered that he was a mutant?" Rogue said, visibly interested.
"Of course!" Max said. "He's like my adoptive brother, or something."
"What's your name?" Rogue continued.
"Maxim West," the boy said with a smile.
Jean Grey marched into the room, not very surprised to see the tree girls around Maxim.
She had sensed them with her power.
"Girls, would you care to go back upstairs?" she said with authority.
The three argued in vain and were forced to go away.
The took the elevator and stopped on the first floor, knowing that Jean was using her power, making sure that they were minding their business.
"He's a nice guy," Rogue said as they walked back to the place where they were sitting earlier.
"And good looking," Jubilee added.
"And has a cool power," Kitty added too.
"I didn't get the time to ask him how he had gotten hurt," Rogue said. "I hope he'll stay as a student."
"All mutants who see this place want to stay," Kitty said.
"You're right," Rogue said sighing.
She had had a few boyfriends since she had come here about seven months ago, but none of them lasted very long. They all really liked her, but were embarrassed that they could never touch her. Every time she thought of that, anger towards her mutation grew in her heart. The only boy she'd ever kissed had directly been brought to the hospital. She would give anything to be able to touch someone. Even for just an instant, knowing that she wouldn't harm them. She would be able to walk around without being covered with clothes from head to toes.
Before they could say anything else, a bell was heard from inside, announcing that the English literature class was starting in five minutes. The trio ran back to the entrance and walked to the classroom.
