TOO MANY SECRETS!

Jubilee's alarm rang out at 6:30. She had deliberately put an early setting on the clock because she wanted to be the first in the shower knowing the rush that would ensue if she got up with everyone else. She was in and out of the shower in 15 minutes, dressed in only a robe and drying her hair with a towel. As soon as she opened the door she faced with a rather unhappy looking Bobby. Jubilee was taken totally aback by the expression on Bobby's face, to Jubilee her and Bobby were like brother and sister, but she knew what Bobby wanted but she could never feel the same way towards him. "Here we go," she thought.

"You're up pretty early", Bobby said coldly.

"Well you know what its like at this place when it comes to the shower"

"Cut the crap I know why you're up so early, you're getting ready for that Irish guy"

"He happens to have a name Robert" she always used his full name when she was getting irritated at him, and she was in no mood for his crap today.

"Don't start Jubilee you know I'm only doing this coz I care"

"Bullshit your only doin this coz you're jealous"

"Jealous of what, that piece of crap I aint jealous of him as far as I'm concerned he can kiss my ass, coz I could beat him at anything"

"That's all you care about Bobby, being the best at everything, but the truth is that you know I'm happy with him and he has beaten you at the one you wanted to win at, and sorry I aint got time for your shit right now, so I'll see ya at breakfast" Jubilee then proceed to push past Bobby, he was about to say something but Jubilee threw a spark at him which ended up breaking a bust of Shakespeare so Bobby decided it would be best if he left the subject matter for later. Jubilee started to pick out her best clothes to wear for Conner, she already put aside the Jacket and the sunglasses but now she was stuck for what else to wear, for all of her intelligence she had no Idea what impress a man like Conner. "Having trouble" she heard Amara say, Jubilee turned to see her roommate sitting on the side of her bed rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Sorta" Jubilee said sheepishly

"I don't mind helping you, but are you sure that he's worth all this trouble". Jubilee always knew when Amara was being serious as she always rubbed her knuckles as a way of making assurance she was doing the right thing. "Even if you or Bobby think otherwise I think that he is actually worth more than you think". Amara smiled at her roommate "That's all I wanted to hear, now lets sort you shall we".

Jubilee did not simply just walk to breakfast she literally skipped down the stairs knowing that she was going slay Conner when he saw her. What Amara had done was quite impressive and Kitty had to give full marks to her for her efforts, Jubilees hair had been braided so carefully that the process had taken most of the morning they had free, she wore a skinny tee which on it said "Come get some", she wore a pair of tight blue jeans which on the belt were attached various bandanas from Amara's island tribe, but on her feet she wore a pair of boots that Rogue had leant her purely to make sure that Conner would be awestruck and finally on her hands she wore a pair of fingerless gloves to make the finishing touches. As she took her place next to Logan she noticed that they were missing a person.

"Where's bobby" Jubilee enquired

"The Icicle left early, said he had to speak to one of the teachers at school" Logan said without even looking up from his paper. "Drake you better be going to see a teacher, coz if I find out otherwise, I'm gonna cut you up and serve you to Logan in his next drinking binge" Jubilee thought to herself.

The truth of the fact was that Bobby was going to school early to see a teacher but he had an ulterior motive to going early, he was hoping to "bump" into Conner. Bobby had just that minute left his chemistry teachers room after a lengthy discussion about how his grades in science were failing. He had got so bored that he decided to freeze the entire water system of Bayville high. As he walked outside he noticed a black pickup truck pull into the parking lot of the school, who else would you think would step out of the truck but the same Irishman who had beaten bobby at the only game he wanted to win. Conner dragged out his backpack from the truck and started to walk over towards the football field, closely followed by Bobby. Conner made his way the middle of the Football Field and sat in a cross legged position, Bobby was about to make his move to try and attack him, but all of a sudden, Conner's body was surrounded in a green glow as emerald as his eyes, all of a sudden he stood up and a bolt of green light shot from either hand into the ground and the earth started to shake, much when Avalanche started to get angry, except the grass started to grow. The grass took shape and raised him up by his feet and slowly turned him as if he were dancing with all of nature the all of a sudden Conner let out a scream and the green light covered the field and cut all the grass to normal size.

Suddenly the wind picked up and the shed blades of grass circled Conner in a spiral pattern as they circled into the sky, Bobby turned and walked away from the scene dumbfounded by the whole escapade that had just occurred. "So Conner is a Mutant well that's something to work against him maybe I can get him to join the brotherhood so that Lee might change her mind about him" Bobby didn't notice the hand reach behind him and grab his shoulder and spun him around to face the angry stare of Conner.

"What in the hell are ye doin here, and how much did ye see" Conner's accent was clearly getting thicker as he was getting more angry.

"I know what I saw, and I'm sure Jubilee would be most intrigued by this" Bobby said with an evil grin.

"What in the name of all that's holy are ye talking about" Conner demanded.

"Well I'm sure she would like to know about your little gift I'm sure she love to know goddamn weird you are, I'm sure she'd probably like to know how much of a freak you are" Bobby was playing the anti mutant card to try and make Conner think that Conner would be rejected by Jubilee for it. But Bobby knew the truth, he knew that she adored Conner and he adored her back, which cut the Iceman's heart every time he thought about it. Conner then let go of Bobby's shirt.

"Name your fucking price" Conner said. He knew the price would be high.

"You call it off with Jubilee, and I keep my mouth firmly shut, that sounds fair"

"Why you fucking piece of shit" Conner raised his gloved hand to hit the X- Man, but stopped himself.

"Why don't you go ahead eh Grass boy, Jubilee would hate to know that a mutant beat her friend up". Conner merely threw him to the floor and walked away towards his car. "This time I gotcha Conner so don't fuck with me," Bobby thought thinking he had won the game.

Jubilee literally jumped from the back of Scott's car. On the way she had received the usual crap that she was expecting from Kurt and the others comments of she's in love and watch out we'll have a Jubilee junior soon and finally Lets hope the kid gets his mothers looks. Jubilee really didn't care, as she was happy enough just to see Conner. As she approached the entrance to the school she could see Conner, she knew instantly that something was wrong, she could see it instantly in his face that he was going do something wasn't going to like.

Conner knew what he had to do; the last thing he wanted to do was let Jubilee come to any harm but he knew as long as one person knew about his abilities she would be in danger, "Christ, she looks fantastic, with her hair like that, and she's wearing the jacket I gave her, that's gonna make this so much easier," he thought to himself. He knew he would kill himself inside for this, he felt strongly for her, more than he had ever done for anyone else before. "Hey there you" Jubilee said to him with fake happiness.

"Hey there Jubilee" he said sorrowfully.

"You ok babe, tired after last night"

"Last night was to good to be true"

"Then what's the matter, you don't look to hot"

"Jubilee this is the hardest thing I've ever had to say, but the thing that should have aint gonna happen" a look of confusion crossed Jubilee young and innocent face.

"What are you saying Conner, are you saying that you don't wanna be with me" she said sharper than usual.

"There's nothing more I want in the world than to be with you, I'm just saying we can't" Conner was almost on the verge of breaking.

"You have no idea how much I wanted you, you will never know how much I could have done with your support, and how much I wanted you to be with me, your just selfish Conner Finnegan and I'll never forgive you," Jubilee then broke into tears and ran into the girls toilets closely followed by Jean who gave Conner an evil glare, who in turn was seconded by Kitty. Conner could not take it any longer and he broke down shedding tears like he was a newly born child, finally burying his head in his hands. Bobby looked on and smiled "Time to reap the rewards" He thought to himself.

It was time for lunch Conner was feeling a steaming pile of triceratops shit. And looked like it accordingly, he had let his hair down and it was a complete and total mess, he was smoking cigarettes like mad and stank like he hadn't even washed after gym (Which he didn't). He was so angry with Bobby that he had smashed his guitar in a fit of anger and wasn't ashamed about it, even though his Father had given him that guitar when he 12. He left his lunch where it was and just decided to walk around the track field, as he knew no one would be there to disturb him. He felt a gentle tap on his shoulder, he spun round quickly hoping it was Jubilee but was instead greeted with a fist in his jaw.

Rogue stood over Conner looking more furious than she had ever done in her entire life. "WHERE IN THE HELL DO YOU GET OFF TREATING LITTLE JUBILEE LIKE THAT", Conner was not in the mood for Rogues insane yelling, and simply said "WILL YE SUTUP FOR A MINUTE WOMAN BEFORE I GET IN A BLOODY TEMPER", Rogue stared at him in shock, as no one had ever spoken to her like that before she usually scared them before this ever happened. "Thank you" he said in genuine thanks "Now for your information I had a very good reason for not getting Jubilee even though every part of my body and my soul said otherwise"

"Oh yeah an what in the hell was this very good reason then eh" she said sarcastically.

"Fine I'll show ye but if you tell Jubilee I swear I'll kill ye" Suddenly Conner turned green. "HOLY SHIT, Conner I'm sorry"
