A couple weeks went by as Josephine got more tuned in with her power.
She actually found out she has another power, She can freeze things.
It happened one day during training with Jean and some of the other kids in this one large room in the basement.
Josephine was asked to create a fire ball and throw it towards Jean, (who would ketch it of course before it hurt her with her ability to move things.)
So she held her hands cupped together and started imaging a raging fire ball perfectly shaped, flames licking the air hovering slightly in her hands.
Then when she opened up her eyes it was actually there in her hands.
With one quick motion she held her hand up hair, fire ball aimed and ready and threw as hard as she could.
Jean's hands moved up quickly to stop it when suddenly the fire ball stopped mid air, froze into a crystal ball and melted to the floor.
"Bobby?" Jean asked a bit surprised.
"Not me." He replied sticking his head out from the row of kids leaning against the dark cold wall.
"Did-did I do that?" Josephine asked amazed taking baby steps up to the small puddle of freezing water on the floor.
"I think we just discovered your other new power. Quite amazing it is to have fire, and Ice."
Jean smiled that smile which could only mean one thing which pleased her the most.
Research and testing.
Rogue and Josephine walked down the hall silently for a bit until Rogue spoke up suddenly.
"So, how did you do that?." She asked looking into her eyes for a positive answer.
"Don't know.it just sort of, came out. It seems impossible and dumb, trust me I know..but it happened. And everyone saw it happen. What else is there to say?"
Josephine replied.
Rogue nodded with a grim face and pushed open the door to their room.
Both girl's clothes were scattered across the floor and bed and the small one person dresser had cosmetics and hair brushes laying across the top.
Rogue's eyes widened and she said quickly,
"Oh yeah! John wanted me to tell you to meet him in the library. Well, that is what we call it but it's really just a small room with shelves covered with books on them."
"Me? He wanted to see me? What for?" Josephine asked, a wide smile spreading across her face.
"I think it had something to do with fire, I don't know. I have a date with Bobby and if I don't hurry up there isn't going to be a date." Rogue replied with a small laugh.
"Ok, well have fun!" Josephine called to her as she hurried out the door.
"uh huh, later Jose!"
The door closed and all was silent for a bit.
A tingle of excitement traveled up Josephine's spine as she dashed for her bag that had make up in it and quickly smeared on some gloss and smudged on some light eye shadow.
She didn't want to look to made up.
Josephine took in a deep breath and opened up the door to the library.
John looked up from his seat on the chair with a novel clasped in his hands.
He smiled.
"thought you'd never make it." He joked slyly.
"Oh uh sorry..what did you want to see me for?" Josephine asked casually taking a seat next to him on the soft blue couch.
He closed the book and sort of half smiled.
"Actually it's kind of a awkward thing to ask but," He started to say as Josephine's heart stopped ready to hear the words she was waiting for, when he finished his sentence.
"I was wondering if you could try and teach me how to create fire."
Josephine's shoulders dropped low and she looked away for a few seconds, a heavy feeling of sadness taking over her.
"I guess." She replied slowly with a small sigh.
John didn't seem to notice. He stood up, turned to her with a grin and said,
"Do you mind if someone else joins us? Her name is Tarry, you must have seen her before? Blonde hair, sort of short, laughs a lot?"
Tarry! Of course she had seen her before, she was a complete jerk. Josephine couldn't understand how anyone could possibly like her unless she was lying to them.
"That must have been it. She is lying to John and seducing him or something. That has to be it." She thought sadly to herself.
"Do you mind if It's just us? I do better working with one person at a time." She tried to reply politely.
His grin faded and he shook his head.
"Tarry really wants to learn and I promised her I wouldn't do it if she couldn't come."
"Fine. Meet me behind the school tomorrow after class." She said grimly and stormed out of the room.
Josephine felt like a brick just hit her in the chest.
"Oh what am I going to do?" She moaned pressing her face against the pillow on her bed.
"I wish I could talk to Rogue, but she is out on her date with Bobby!" She said out loud.
Suddenly there was a knock on her door.
Wiping away a tear she let escape she opened up the door.
It was Tarry.
Oh how she wanted to just pounce on her and rip her lungs out!
No she couldn't do something that horrible.
Tarry was holding a lit cigarette between her fingers as she stared greedily at Josephine.
"You know you aren't supposed to smoke in the school." Josephine said sternly.
"I know." Tarry replied with a smirk and blew out a puff of smoke in Josephine's face.
Before she knew it little tiny flames shot up from the end of the cigarette causing tarry to jump and the cigarette to fly out of her hand and into her hair.
Her hair caught on fire and she hoped up and down waving her hands and screaming.
Josephine couldn't help but laugh a little.
Revenge felt nice.
But soon she felt a little bit of pity for the girl with now a terrible looking hair style so she picked up a vase of water with flowers in it, and dumped it on her head.
Tarry stopped screaming and wiped away a large chunk of uneven hair across her face and mumbled a grim, "Thanks." And walked away as a group of kids laughed quietly to themselves at her.
"Oh how wrong you are about Her John. What a jerk!" Josephine laughed closing the door.
