Disclaimer: Okay, I don't own X-men at all.  I also don't own the cast of X-men the movie.  The only thing I own is the plot for this story

A/n:  This story is an AU (alternate universe).  The characters are not mutants and all are the same age.  I don't know why I'm writing this story, but I think I'm doing this because it's different.  You don't often see X-men stories that are AU and consist of the X-men character without mutant powers.  So enjoy the different.

A different taste

Chapter 1: The uncertain beginning

As summer broke loose throughout the city, school had begun its prisons once again.  Sweat was dripping down everyone's body, from head to toe.  As the heat was killing the students, the lecture in Mr. Allen, 12th grade English class, didn't help much.  How much can one take on grammar?  The last year of high school and this is how they treat everyone, boredom. 

"Now everyone, I would like you all to complete these grammar packets and turn them into me by the end of this week," the whole class complaint about his assignment "And since it's the first week of school, I'll be nice and let you have the next 5 minutes to work on this packet."  With that the whole class left their silence still, and went off to join their friends. 

"Sup Ororo?  I can't believe we have the same class."

"Yeah Jean, I can't believe it."

"I hate this Allen guy, it's the first week and he already has homework for us!"

"C'mon it's not that bad.  The packet is only four pages long Jean."

"Front and back though."

"Well, I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of our easier homework assignments this year."

"Yeah, but I don-."  Stopped in mid-sentence and jaw dropping almost touching the floor, Jean grabbed Ororo's shirt and tighten it tell Ororo finally noticed why Jean was as shocked as she was.  There was a new guy, and he wasn't to bad looking on the eyes.  And in Jean's and every girl in the class other than Ororo case, the new guy was absolutely gourgious.  He was the type of guy, girls dreamed about, with the whole bad boy image. 

"Uh hum, class, everyone, ATTENTION PLEASE!  We have a new student.  Um, your name sir?"

"Logan, just Logan."

"Okay… Logan, we have to have a last name."

"Well, I don't have one, I've been in to many families to even try and take a last name.  So I think you should take it up with the office."

In the back of the class, in small whispers, conversations about the new guy sprouted out. 

"Oh my god, he's freaking hot Ro."

"Yeah I agree with Jean.  Don't you think he's hot?" Kitty Pride had joined in the conversation.

"Well, what I think do not really matter."

"Yeah whatever hun, you know you like him."

"I do not even know the guy, how can I like him, sure he's not bad on the eyes.  But that doesn't mean anything.  For all I know he could be a serial killer."

"Ro, you are way to weird.  Hello, are you blind? How can you only say, "not bad looking on the eyes?"

"Well Jean, first off, I'm not blind.  I can see perfectly well.  Second how can you sit here and drool over this guy, when you have the perfect guy going after right now?"

"What? You mean Scott? Well yeah he's nice, but I don't know if he's the type of guy for me."

"Well you'll never know until you explore the relationship."  Kitty had taken the words straight out of Ororo's mouth. 

"Hey class is almost out."

"You're right Jean."

"Yeah, five… four… three… two… one." With the last count of one Jean pointed at the clock and the bell rang as it was supposed to.  Everyone rushed out of the class, to go off and do whatever they felt like doing.  Some went to the bathrooms, others met up with friends, but it seemed everyone had something to do.  As Ororo and Jean walked they were joined by one of the most popular guys in school, Scott Summers.

"Hey ladies.  Ro, you grew out your hair. Looks good."

"Hi Scott and thanks"

"Jean, wow.  You look beautiful today."

"Um, thanks Scott.  But I don't think a Old navy tee and ripped jeans put out 'beautiful'."

"Anything you wear Jean, you look beautiful in."  Jean couldn't hold back, she blushed, and it was pretty obvious.  With that Ro left the two to flirt and do their thing.

Alright, I've got Science next.  I wonder who's in my class. 

As she stepped into her next class, she found that the new guy had the class also.  Ororo usually was the type of girl who would introduce herself to the newcomers.  But with this guy she felt differently about an introduction.  He made her feel odd inside.  So instead of going up to Logan, she went and took a seat in the classroom.

"Hi there."  When Ro heard this voice she looked up to see whom it belonged to. Sure enough the voice belonged to Logan.  He had noticed her in the last class they had, for her look had an exotic feel.  Her hair was a beautiful silk white.  She had a perfect body, perfect mocha skin and amazing blue eyes. No one could ever miss her.  For him, he couldn't say much about himself.  He had brown eyes, wild, uncontrollable hair and scars all over his body.

"Hello, your Logan right?"

"Yes that's me alright.  And you are…?"

"Oh, I'm sorry.  How rude of me, I'm Ororo Munroe."

"No, you weren't rude at all."  Ororo flashed him a grand smile. "Well, is the seat next to you taken?"

"No, you may sit there, if you like."

"Thank you."

"Uh yeah, no problem."  Her smile widen as he smiled at her.

As class began both didn't speak to each other and both didn't know what it was about the other person that made them feel the way they did. 

"Everyone please go to the lab table I assigned you and introduce yourself to the people there."  Mr. Jinks was the type of guy whom every student like.  He didn't believe in homework and listened to every word you have to say.  So the students did do as they were told and it was pretty much fun.  Logan, Jean, Hank and Kat were at the lab table next to the door.  And at the far window Ororo, Kurt, Scott and Chris sat.  Between the two lab tables, sat 4 other ones.

"Hey there babe, I'm Logan."  Jean blushed as he looked into her eyes and made a movement towards her.

"And I'm Jean."

"Nice ta meet ya darling."  He had lust in his eyes for this red head.  And from across the room Ororo couldn't help but notice this. 

Okay, now who is this guy? He's not the guy I was just talking to before class started.  Is this some harmless flirting or does he actually like Jean? Oh Jean, you better watch yourself, do not do something stupid with him.  You have such a good guy after you right now.

"Hey Ro? RO!" Ororo had the snapped out of her trance at the tone of Scott's voice.

"Oh, sorry. What's going on here?" 

"It's your turn to introduce yourself."

"Okay." At that Ororo began telling everyone about herself and who she was. 

A/n: Hey there people, hope you like the story so far.  Um it's not a planned out story and I'm just trying to wing it. So later days and more to come soon
