Chapter 2

The basketball court opened as Blackbird started its landing. Once they were safe inside, Ororo, Logan, and Kurt stepped out into the lower levels of the school. They had just returned from a 3-day mission in Cairo. They headed for the upper level of the school to report to the professor. "You guys go ahead; I'm going to go check on Scott." Ororo said. She walked down the hall to Scott's door and knocked softly. "Come on in." Scott said. He seemed unusually cheerful. Ororo opened the door and was surprised at what she saw. There, sitting next to Scott was a girl, blue skinned with bright red hair. "Ororo," Scott said, "you remember---"

"Jessica Phillaps." Ororo interrupted. She spoke the name as if it left a bad taste in her mouth. Jessica stood from the bed. "Ororo Munroe, long time no see."

"Yeah, what a shame." Sarcasm filled her voice as she shot Jessica a dirty look.

"Look, Scott, I'll talk to you later." Jessica left the room quickly, sensing that she wasn't wanted.

"What's she doing here?" Ororo asked.

"Well, when she heard about Jean---"

"She's been waiting since we were students here for Jean to be out of the picture so she could make a move on you."

"Ororo, how could you?! Jessica has been mine and Jean's best friend since she came here, she cares about me---" Scott's words were cut short by his tears. A low sob escaped his throat.

"Scott, I'm sorry, I didn't----"

"Get out."

"But Scott, I----"

"I said get out!" As Ororo left, Scott collapsed in tears on his bed.

Jessica left Scott's room and walked toward her own, staring at the floor. Suddenly she bumped into someone hard. She looked up into the face of a gruff looking man. Her shoulder was getting sore from bumping into him. "Sorry," she said, embarrassed as her blue skin tinted to a light shade of red, "I guess I got to learn to watch where I'm going in this place."

"Yeah," Logan mumbled gruffly.

"Sorry, I don't think we've met, I'm Jessica Phillaps, I used to be a student here, and you are....." Jessica extended her hand toward him.

"Logan." He looked her up and down, noticing the blue skin and the fiery red hair. Like Mystique he thought as he walked away.

"Nice to meet you too..." Jessica whispered to herself in disgust. How rude, she thought to herself as she walked to her room.
