Meeting of Souls
Chapter 2

Jean entered the kitchen the next morning and found only Scott there. She wasn't sure what to say to him after what she had seen last night.
"Morning, Jean."
"Morning, Scott."
Scott looked at her a bit worried. "Are you ok? You seem depressed this morning."
Jean couldn't help but answer him. "I…I saw you and Rogue last night."
"Oh," was all Scott said and then fell silent. The silence was getting to Jean though so she spoke.
"Scott I'm sorry. I'm sorry for toying with your feelings for me. I'm not trying to take you from Rogue, I just wanted to apologize. And don't leave Rogue just because I came to my senses. I can tell you love her. I'll be all right."
Scott said nothing for a few seconds and then spoke. "Jean it hurt to see you with a jerk like Duncan Matthews," he spit the name out like poison. "The guy's a jerk. All he wants is to get in your pants and claim he deflowered Miss Jean Grey. But if that was the guy you wanted who was I to tell you differently. All I could do as your friend was help you to see the jerk he really is."
Jean looked at him. "Believe me Scott I do. And as far as I'm concerned it's over between him and me. I plan to break it off today. I just hope you and I can still be friends."
"Always, Jean. Always." Scott hadn't gotten those words out when Kitty, Amara, Kurt, and most of the other students flew into the kitchen and started 20 questions with him about his relationship with Rogue. Jean got some breakfast and ate by herself until it was time to go to school.

Later that day at school, Jean was standing at her locker actually having a civil conversation with Rogue about their English paper they had to write. Even though Jean was not in the same class as Rogue and Scott, she had the same teacher.
"Moron at 6 o'clock, Jean," Rogue said.
Jean turned and spotted Duncan coming her way and took a deep breath. "Good luck." Rogue said before heading off.
"Hey, Jean," Duncan said as he leaned to give Jean a kiss. All he got though was cheek and Jean pushing him back. "What?"
"Duncan, this isn't working out. You're not the guy I thought you were and it's over."
Duncan's mouth hung a bit open for a few moments before he responded. "Good joke, Jean."
"I'm not joking Duncan. It's over between us. All you've ever wanted is to get in my pants so you could claim to be the one to deflower Miss Jean Grey, the most popular girl in school. So just get lost." With that said, Jean grabbed her books, shut her locker, and headed to class, leaving a very dumbfounded Duncan just standing there.
Jean was surprised how good that felt. She didn't even feel bad about dumping the jerk. She saw Rogue give her a thumbs up and a genuine smile. Jean nodded her thanks and continued on to homeroom.

Logan was sitting in the X-Van, outside of a dormitory on the Bayville University campus. A few minutes later, a young man about 5'5" with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes came up to the car. He was 19 year old Benjamin Christopher, codenamed Xerox. He had decided to spend Spring Break at the Institute instead of at home.
"Ready to go kid?" Logan asked.
It was 3 in the afternoon and Ben's classes were done for the day. "Yep all set." He put his stuff in the back and then climbed into the passenger seat before buckling his seat belt.
As they got underway Ben wondered what each of the students looked like. Scott was the only one he had actually seen. He had however talked with Kitty, Kurt, Evan, Rogue, and Jean over the net and phone and liked each one of them. Jean however he had developed a slight crush on and had a picture that was more like Kitty in appearance than what Jean really looked like. Jean hadn't described herself very well but he had the feeling that Jean wasn't exactly the hottest girl in girl from what Jean had told him about how she was treated at school. Boy would he be wrong.
"You'll like it here kid, it's a nice place. It is a bit noisy though." Logan informed him.
"How much worse than a college dorm can it be?" Ben asked with a half smile.
"Good point," Logan said and the two laughed. Twenty minutes after departing they arrived at the Institute and Logan parked in the garage.
Ben grabbed his stuff out of the back and then took it up to his room that he didn't have to share. Shortly after 3:30, Ben heard the sound of other students coming back from school.
*Everyone please report to the rec room?* Professor Xavier's voice called out to his students.
Ben took a deep breath and headed down to the rec room to meet the other students.
