**********************
Guinevere and Scott walked down the hallway to their rooms. Guinevere was curious to be in a small city. She was used to the urban life she had led in Los Angeles. Where everything was loud, tall, and fast. Did the change in scenery change people?
"What's Bayville like?" Guinevere asked suddenly
Scott paused to think, then continued to walk as he began to speak, "Well, Bayville is a pretty cool place. There's always someplace to go or someone to see. The Fashion District is Kitty's favorite place to be. School here is what you make it to be. If you hang out with the jocks, you are part of the elite inner circle. If your not you fall into other categories. Loners, preppies, skaters, and jerks. You know they're building a new mall here."
They had almost reached the end of the hallway and Guinevere looked up at him, shocked. This was worse the she expected.
"There's no mall here? Hello! Has Bayville been living in the stone age?! How am I going to survive Scott?" Guinevere exaggerated jokingly.
"Hey, why don't Jean, you, and I go down to the fashion district?" Scott said as they reached the door to his room.
Guinevere looked excited "That would be awesome, but I have to unpack and freshen up first. Is that okay?"
Scott opened the door to his room and looked over at her "Sure, just knock when you guys are ready."
Guinevere shook her yes, and skipped to her room yelling a quick thank you to Scott, who shook his head at her childish antics.
***************************
Guinevere burst in to the brightly lit room. The room was filled with the sound of Evanescence "Bring Me to Life" and Jean sat Indian style on her bed bobbing her head and reading her French book. Jean looked up at the younger girl with curiosity.
"Why are you so happy?" Jean asked shutting her book and motioning for Guinevere to sit next to her. Guinevere walked over to the bed and sat next the redhead (an: haha that rhymed.)
"Scott said he would take us to the Fashion District. That is if you want to go?" Guinevere looked at Jean with puppy dog eyes
Jean laughed, shaking her head. "Of course I'll go. My middle name is shopping."
Guinevere giggled "But first I've got to unpack, then shower. I think I smell like airplane peanuts."
The two girls burst out laughing and Jean quickly volunteered to help with the unpacking. The two girls quickly began to unpack. Their motto was: the sooner we finish packing, the sooner we can buy more. First they put away all the clothes, stopping every once in a while when Jean spotted an article of clothing she thought was nice, and Guinevere saying that she could borrow it anytime. Soon the wardrobe was looking a lot fuller and they each choose an outfit they were going to wear that day. Next, they put away all the jewelry, accessories, and hair care products. Jean loved Guinevere's collection of cheer scrunchies and charms. Finally, they began to put away Guinevere's photos, books, and trophies. Jean had gone totally ballistic when she had seen Guinevere's many cheer and hip-hop trophies. She especially liked the one they had won at cheer nationals.
"Wow! What's it like going to nationals?" Jean said looking at the trophy in awe
"It's like cheering at a football game. Except the fans love cheer, and we do stunts, and choreographed routines. It's nerve racking, but it's so cool."
The trophies were put away quickly with a little help from Jean telekinesis and Guinevere's power jumps. Guinevere quickly ran to the bathroom and showered. She dried herself off and changed into a khaki cargo mini-skirt and an olive green sleeveless top. She quickly applied some eye shadow that brought out her emerald green eyes and lip-gloss. She quickly put on her pair of olive green Kangaroo joggers.
She walked into her and Jean's room and saw the older girl putting on lip-gloss. She was wearing a white keyhole top and a denim min-skirt she had borrowed from Guinevere, and wore white sandals. Guinevere quickly put Frizz-Ease on her hair and finger combed her hair, letting it air dry. Jean grabbed her purse and turned to the sixteen year old.
"Ready?"
Guinevere nodded as she grabbed her purse. The duo walked over to Scott's room and knocked on his door. The door opened and out stepped Scott, wearing a V-necked red sweater over a white t-shirt and signature khaki cargos. He was dumbfounded at how nice they looked.
"You guys look great!"
"You don't look so bad yourself." Guinevere said in return
The group made their way downstairs. They realized that the only other teenager at the institute was Kurt, who was watching TV. and munching on some chips. They invited him to join them and he declined saying he was waiting for Evan to get back from skating to go grab a burger.
They said good-bye and continued they're journey to Scott's car. When Guinevere saw Scott's car she was awe struck.
"It's so pretty."
Jean and Scott laughed.
"Relax Gwen (her new nickname) it's real. See," Scott said touching it, "Real."
Gwen laughed and got in after Jean, the three sat in the front. Scott turned on the car and radio and they were off to the Fashion District. Halfway there, Jean smacked herself on the forehead.
"I forgot to tell you guys. While Gwen was in the shower I called Duncan and invited him to shop with us."
Gwen smiled, Jean had told her about the quarterback she was going steady with. But her smile turned into a frown when she saw Scott stiffen at the mention of Duncan.
Hmmm… I wonder what's wrong with him? I'll ask him later.
For the rest of the drive Gwen and Jean talked about Bayville High's elite clique and the parties. Scott, though, remained silent for the rest of the trip.
**********************At the Fashion District*********************
Scott parked his car in the parking lot and they all piled out. Jean quickly spotted Duncan waiting for them at the entrance of the parking lot. He was handsome and reminded her a lot of James. Jean had a large smile on her face as he turned and waved at them. Guinevere looked at Scott and would bet money that he had rolled his eyes at Duncan.
A few seconds later they were face to face with Duncan. Jean introduced Gwen as her new close friend.
"Oh, Duncan this is my new close friend, Gwen. She's going to be on the squad at school."
"Cool," Duncan said running a hand through his hair, "You know the football players and cheerleaders are the people everyone wants to be friends with. If you aren't part of that group, your just another face in the crowd. Right Summer's?" Duncan looked at Scott who clenched his fist. Gwen quickly came to the rescue.
"Oh my gosh! Look at that awesome purse! I've got to check it out." Gwen quickly grabbed Scott by the arm and pulled him into the store next to them. Jean and Duncan followed holding hands.
***************An hour and six shopping bags later**************
Gwen and Scott walked a little behind Duncan and Jean. Gwen looked up at Scott, whom looked like he wanted to leave. She was concerned and asked him about it.
"Scott? What's wrong? Are you mad at something?"
Scott shook his head and put his empty hand in his pocket.
"Gwen, it's just that Duncan's not my favorite person. I don't know what Jean sees in that guy?"
Gwen bit her lip and slowed down so the party in front of them. She looked at Scott in the eye.
"You like her. Don't deny it. I see the looks you give her."
He put a hand behind his neck "No I-"
Guinevere looked at him with a frown.
"Okay I think I do. But she just sees me as a best friend. I'm no Duncan Mathews."
Gwen rolled her eyes "well that's obvious," she laughed "and if you were you'd probably be locked in the trunk instead of talking to me."
They both laughed and he put a friendly arm around her shoulder. Jean turned to look at them and smiled.
Scott deserves to be happy. (Jean thought)
Scott smiled down at Guinevere "You know Gwen, I think your going to be fun to have around."
************** 30 minutes and 3 shopping bags later******************
The four teens continued their walk down the street till they came to a music store where Duncan, Jean, and Scott went into. Guinevere decided to just gaze at the other brick stores (for Californians think Old Town Pasadena). She stopped in front of a jewelry store wear she saw a beautiful silver necklace with a tear drop diamond.
"It's beautiful." She whispered
"Not as beautiful as you, babe." Guinevere quickly turned around and came face to face with a silver haired boy. He was leaning against the wall, arms folded, wearing a cocky grin. His body language screamed ego. She had to admit the guy was hot. A light blush quickly came to her cheeks.
"So what's your name doll face?" The boy asked noticing her blush
"Guinevere. And what's yours?" Guinevere asked raising an eyebrow.
He quickly leaned in closer to her.
Cool Waters Gwen thought catching the scent of his cologne.
"Pietro Maximoff. Listen, why don't we go grab a burger and we can talk about my basketball record."
Guinevere rolled her eyes. Boy is this guy full of himself.
"I don't even really know you? Besides I'm waiting for some friends."
"Come on forget your friends. We'll get
to-" Pietro was cut-off by Scott who walked out of the store.
"Gwen, you like System of – what are you doing here Maximoff? Is he bothering you?"
Scott quickly walked next to Gwen and stepped up to Pietro, whom in return stepped up to Scott. Guinevere quickly noticed the tension and put a hand on Scott's shoulder.
"He was just introducing himself. It was nice meeting you Pietro."
"Yeah, I'll see you around Gwen." Pietro said never breaking his glaring contest with Scott.
Guinevere walked into the record store to call Jean and Duncan. Scott poked Pietro in the chest.
"Stay away from her. She's an X-men now." With that said Scott turned around and put an arm around Gwen who had just stepped out of the record store with Jean and Duncan. Gwen looked back at Pietro before paying attention to what Scott was saying.
Yeah right Summers! I'm for sure not staying away now.
********************
Dun. Dun. Dun.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm? I wonder who's the love interest now? Scott or Pietro? The grade issue with Pietro will be fixed, Gwen is a junior. Request when you submit.
