Authors Notes: Hey its Lonnie here, just wanted to say hello again, okay
this is the first chapter. Not much really going on.. Uhhh I'm not good w/
Marie's accent, so if anyways can give me pointers I'll happily take them
and give you credit. *scratches head* I don't know what else to say really.
Uhhh Lord of the Rings the Two Towers comes out Next Tuesday WOOHOOO *waits
at Super Wal-Mart till they release the DVD*
Also "It Can't Rain All the Time" is from the movie "The Crow" (one of the best movies ever!) Such wise words!
Disclaimers: I own nothing, none of the Xmen, although I wish I did I can imagine my bosses face as he stands face to face with Logan *grins* So sadly I am simply 'barrowing' the characters for pure enjoyment, after all that's what they were created for right?

***************** Chapter One: Unlocking Closed Doors*******************
Marie looked up from her text book stealing a glace at Scott. He was
going over their homework from last week, but she couldn't tell you
one thing about it, for all her thoughts swirled around him and only
him. "Marie.?" Scott called her name. All she could see was Scott
facing her and his lips moving "Marie, are you alright?" She quickly
snapped out of it, blushing and mumbling "Ya Mr. Summers. just a
little tired is all!" and looked back down at her book.
Scott went back to going over the home work, and then assigned a new
chapter to read. As the bell rang, students began stuffing their bags
with books and papers, Marie did the same. As the other students filed
out of the class Scott came up to Marie "Would you mind staying behind
for a few minutes Marie, I'd like to speak with you if you don't
mind." He offered a kind smile, and how could she refuse? As the last
student left the class room Scott went to close the door to give them
some privacy. Turning around he already had a smile on his face, the
light reflecting off his glasses. She smiled back unsure of what this
little meeting was all about.
"So.how have you been doing lately?" he asked her. She was caught off
guard considering, it should have been her asking him that same
question. "Uhh. fine I guess" he nodded at her reply. "Umm what about
you Mr. Summers how have you been?" she asked hesitantly fiddling with
her gloves. "Class is over Marie, you can call me Scott." Pink stained
her cheeks and she nodded. This is silly, why am I acting like such a
child? She thought. She drew her brows together in frustration at
herself. Scott watched the play of emotions across her face. The thing
he enjoyed about this girl was that when he looked at her, he forgot
about the pain he was suffering. Well almost forgot, he felt that he
could relate to her, what he wanted most he wasn't there to touch
anymore, and she couldn't touch anything she wanted. He didn't feel so
alone, like he did when he was with the others, the Professor always
trying to give words of encouragement. Ororo tried her best but she
couldn't possibly understand. And Logan. blah he didn't even want to
think about Logan.
"I've seen better days. as I'm sure we all have" he crossed his arms
over his chest. He had caught her looking at him the past couple of
weeks. And it was like she could see right through him, like he wasn't
even wearing protective glasses. He often felt naked under her stare.
She never gave looks of pity. only compassion and understanding. As if
she was looking for some small light of hope. He was able to hide from
everyone else behind his glasses. but her. but it wasn't her fault. He
wanted to get to know her... He had too. "Well.." she started. "It
can't rain all the time!" she spoke softly her lips curving into a
gentle smile.
Reality quickly kicked in." I' gotta go, other classes are waiting and
I don't want to be in trouble for being late!" she mumbled quickly
before grabbing her bag and heading out the door. "She stopped and
turned to give him a brief smile before heading out the crowded
hallway waiving a gloved hand in the air, disappearing in the swarm of
students and teachers.
