Chapter Three: A Seven
They had been on the water for three hours, and learning mutants were getting better. Evan had gotten the hang of it and was doing very well, most likely because he was a great skater. Remy and Rogue were doing better than expected, and Bobby and Jubilee were getting there.
Scott saw that his brother was spending a lot of time on the water. He didn't notice the looks he gave Damia, which is understandable. The Summers men aren't known for their romantic awareness. It was lunch time, and the professor had given Scott a telepathic call to meet him and the other adults at a restaurant near the beach in five minutes.
"Alex!" Scott yelled.
His brother heard him and called back "Yeah?"
Scott motioned for him to come back onto the ground "Lunch time, come on!"
The students who had been in the water got out and headed for their towels to dry off for lunch. John grabbed his girlfriend's towel; he had gotten to where they had left their stuff first. When she reached the spot he greeted her by putting the towel over her shoulders. She gave him a smiled; she dried off and put on her shirt and shorts. When she was ready she waited for the others.
Alex walked over to Damia, her hair was dripping wet, but she paid no attention to in. "You did great out there." He smiled.
"Thanks, you're not to bad yourself." She gave him a playful smirk.
"There is this ahhh surfing competition coming up, and there is still time for new entries. You should sign up." Alex told her.
Damia thought for a moment. Then decided "That's a wonderful idea, you should tell John as well. Maybe you two can see who the best surfer is then that way."
Alex nodded, that was a good idea. "How about we go on ahead and save the seats for the others." He said. He was surprised he didn't stammer. He was not bad with the ladies; he actually was very popular with them. He had never had a girl that he really liked before. He noticed her cocked eyebrow, and added "In case it's crowded."
"Alright." She replied she turned and cupped her hands over her mouth and yelled "Alex and I are going to go ahead and save the seats. See you there."
Before anyone had a chance to reply, the two were off. John didn't get his chance to object. The Aussie had noticed that the surfer dude had been very friendly with his girl. Alex was younger than John but the same age as Damia, which presented a problem. He doubt that the blonde could come between them or that Damia even though of the boy as anything but a friend. But, John was still an overprotective boyfriend.
"Hey Summers, your kid brother like to mess with other bloke's (guy's) Sheila?" John asked Scott rudely.
Scott frowned "No, and I doubt he likes her. Most likely he is impressed with her surfing."
Jean giggled. Everyone looked at her, with tell-us-what-you-know expressions.
"What do ya know Jean?" Rogue asked.
"Well, Alex definitely has a crush on her." She told them.
"Bloody hell!" John cried and began to run in the direction of his girlfriend.
Remy stopped him "What makes you dink dat Alex even has a chance wit de chere?"
"Your right." John said, and walked with the others to the restaurant.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
The restaurant was fairly close to the spot on the beach where the students had been. The restaurant was casual, making them feel more comfortable by their swim suits. They had put a few tables together so they could all sit together. The adults had their own table, leaving the teenagers to have their fun, but with a watchful eye. When the others finally arrived they found Alex and Damia chatting away, sitting across from another. Damia saw the others and smiled, John took a seat next to her, as well did Rogue. The waiter took their order and brought it to them in a quick manner.
"So how does everyone like Hawaii?" Alex asked.
"Beautiful." Rahne said with a smile.
"Great place for Spring Break." Tabby replied. "I'm surprised MTV isn't here."
Some of the team laughed at her comment.
"The surfs alright, I'd give it a seven out of ten." John remarked.
Damia nodded. "I would have to agree, surfings good but its better back home."
"Only a seven?" A boy with red hair asked. He was accompanied by three girls and another boy. "What have you been showing them Alex?"
Alex turned around to see the speaker. "Hey Josh," He smiled. "Sup?"
The two boys did some sort of hand thing, and then returned to their conversation. Alex smiled at the others with him.
Josh looked at the people around his friend. "Dude, I think you forgot your manners."
"Oh, sorry bout that." Alex smiled, he gestured to Josh and company "This is Josh, Will, Tammy, Reese, and Lisa." Alex then gestured to the X-men and told each of their names. The five teens took a seat near them and they began a conversation.
"So this is the famous Scott?" Reese asked with a smile.
"Famous?" Scott questioned his brother.
Alex smiled "Well, I told them about you."
"He said you were way radical." Lisa told him.
Damia gave a rude laugh. "Radical? Scott?"
"Did lil Alex tell ya'll bout us?" Rogue asked turning the conversation from Scott.
"Nope." Tammy said.
"But we don't mind if you tell us about yourself?" Josh winked at Rogue, who just rolled her eyes.
Remy couldn't help but laugh. "De chere is not de outgoin sort, homme." He told Josh.
"Shut up Cajun." Rogue retorted.
"Aww. Chere you wound Remy." He smiled.
"Where are you guys from?" Will asked, he noticed that the few that have spoken had different accents, but they all seemed that they were quiet close.
"Remy from New Orleans; de mean fille here," He gestured to Rogue "is from Mississippi."
"Wow sugah you're smart." Rogue replied.
"I'm from Greece and this here" Damia put her arm around John and looked at him. "Bloke" she tried to say it the way John did but it just sounded wrong. "Is from Australia."
The others introduced themselves and told where they were from. Alex's friends seemed surprised that all of these people knew Alex.
"Far out." Will smiled. "So Alex you are doing the surfing competition?"
"Competition?" John asked.
"Oh, I forgot." Damia began; she had forgotten to tell John about the competition. "There's going to be a surfing competition, and there is still time for us to sign up."
"You surf?" Tammy asked John.
John gave his dashing smile and nodded.
Marina came over to the table Damia was sitting at, and saw the new friends the group seemed to have made.
Damia saw her friend and smiled. "Geiasou Marina." (Hello Marina.)
"Pos sympatheite ti Chavai machri tora agaiptos mou?" (How do you like Hawaii so far my dear?) Marina asked.
"To serf den einai toso kalo opos einai piso sto spiti, alla ektos apo avton einai megalo."(Surfing isn't as good as it is back home, but other than that it's great.) Damia replied.
Marina smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead "Na eiste kalos." (Be good.) And she left Damia with her friends.
John had been talking with the girl named Tammy, but when Damia had finished talking with the older woman he asked. "Anything bout me love?"
Damia smiled playfully, and then whispered into John's ear. "She said that you better be good in bed or else I should do something unspeakable."
John's eyes widened, but he knew his girlfriend was lying. "Then we better go make sure I am love." He winked.
Damia turned a bright red, but continued to smile. "That is an excellent idea."
John quickly got out of his chair, and gestured to Damia to follow him. They snuck out without the adults knowing, but the students on the other hand knew they had left.
Rogue watched the two leave with a small smile "Ah remember when Ah had ta help her escape the-" she then realized that there were others in front of her. She cleared her throat and finished eating.
"Where'd they go?" Alex asked, he wondered why they left in such a hurry.
Kitty, Tabby, Amara, Rahne, and Jubilee giggled.
"Like duh, they like want to be alone." Kitty told him.
Alex got the point, and frowned a little, but it wasn't too noticeable.
Rogue saw the look on the boys face, to others he would have looked totally normal, but to Rogue it was as if his color had changed completely. She was after all the expert of unhappiness. "Sorry sugah, but there is no way in separatin those two. They've been through a lot together."
"Huh?" Alex asked innocently.
Rogue looked at him "Don't play dumb. Ya like the girl, but she's taken."
"I don't-" Alex was cut off by Jean.
"That's not what your thoughts say." The telepath tapped her temple with her pointer figure. Alex knew what she meant.
"And he was cute too." Tammy pointed out. She had thought John was quite the catch, and now she found he was taken.
"Do you suppose?" Rahne asked Rogue causing the other girls to laugh at her modesty.
"Ah don't suppose, Ah know." Rogue replied and took a sip of her coke.
"Remy dink dat what de two be doin is none of our business. Non?" Remy said, knowing that the couple wouldn't appreciate the conversation about them.
Suddenly the professor's voice filled the mutants' minds. Trouble. Suit up, and meet me at the Plaza.
The team looked at one another and got up out of their seats. Scott looked at his brother, who had also heard the call. "Show us the way."
Alex nodded. "Excuse us we have to run." And they did literally, with Alex leading the way.
