Chapter Two: Isn't It Ironic?

Today was to be Ashleigh's first day at Bayville high, and she had decided to dress to impress. After her morning shower she put on a pair of dark denim jeans, and a red halted top with a black sleeveless mess shirt over it, and a pair of black boots. When she was dressed she went down to have breakfast. When she entered the dinning room, she gave a smile and 'Good morning' to everyone. She took a seat next to Rogue and Ada and ate. She finished her breakfast quickly, and was dragged into Scott's red convertible by her two new friends.

Ashleigh gaped in awe at the gorgeous car. "Wow, tight ride." She commented to Scott.

He smiled and replied "My pride and joy."

With a playful smirk Ashleigh responded "Would look better in blue though." And she took a seat.

Scott smiled and sat in the driver's seat, and to Ashleigh's disgust Jean took shotgun.

When the car pulled into the parking lot of Bayville high school, everyone got out and headed straight to their lockers. Ashleigh had to go to see the principal first so she could be assigned a locker and get her class schedule. She entered the secretaries office and walked up to the old woman typing away at a computer.

"Ah, Hi I'm new here and need to see Principal Kelly." Ashleigh told the woman.

The woman turned away from what she was typing and pressed a button that obviously signaled the principal. She yelled into it. "A Ms." She looked at Ashleigh.

"Ashleigh Rogers." she told the secretary.

"Ms. Ashleigh Rogers is here to see you." The woman continued. There was a muffled response from the speaker and the woman gestured to a door Ashleigh assumed was Kelly's office. "He will see you now."

Ashleigh nodded and walked toward the office.

Ashleigh walked through the halls of the high school; the first bell signaling for first period to start hadn't rung so she guessed she was making good time. Ashleigh found her locker and put in the combination. It didn't open. ^^Shit.^^ She cried mentally. Suddenly a hand punched her locker hard and the door swung open. She turned and was happy to see Scott smiling back at her.

"Sometimes it needs a little force." He told her.

"Thanks." She said gratefully. There was a brief silence for a moment and she searched her mind for something to say. Finally she had it. "Ah, hey would you mind showin me where this class is. I don't know how to-"

"Sure." He interrupted.

She smiled. "Great."

They walked side by side through the halls, silently not knowing what exactly to say to each other. When they reached a classroom Ashleigh knew must be her stop she turned to face him and smiled. "Thanks again."

"Any time." He replied, and he walked back into the crowded halls of Bayville.

Ashleigh walked into the classroom and was surprised to see that Ada and Rogue were in her class. Ashleigh took a seat by them and the girls talked until the teacher began the lesson.

It was second period Spanish with she shared with Ada. She was happy that so far she had a friend in each of her classes, even if it was only the first two. The two girls entered the classroom giggling from a joke that Rogue had told them.

Ashleigh looked around the classroom, "Where to sit?" she thought out loud.

Ada rolled her eyes, "Unfortunately for you we have assigned seats."

Ashleigh sighed "Guess that means we'll have to settle for passin notes."

Ada smiled "Yup." and she took her seat.

Ashleigh went to the front o f the room and was assigned a desk two seats in front of Kurt. She took her seat and turned to wave at Ada, she was surprised to see that her friend was preoccupied with a silver haired guy. She smiled at first happy for her friend, but the smile quickly faded when she got a closer look. It was the boy from the other night at the Mayor's office. She just watched the two talk until Ada saw her friend and decided to introduce the two. The boy turned around to face Ashleigh and gave her a smile. Ashleigh just sneered at him.

Ada gave her friend a quizzical look but proceeded to introduce the two. "Ashleigh this is Pietro, Pietro this is Ashleigh."

"Nice to meet you." Pietro winked.

"Yeah." Ashleigh replied then turned to face front. The bell rang and the teacher began to write notes on the chalkboard for the students to copy down.

Ada leaned in to whisper in Pietro's ear "Write a second set of notes for me will ya?"

He turned and smiled at her for a reply. Ada then used the sheet of paper she had to write Ashleigh a note. She scribbled something down then had it passed to her friend. Ashleigh took it and read it:

What's up? You seem mad.

Ashleigh penciled something on it and then the note was received by Ada. She opened the note:

Talk to you bout it later.

Ada just nodded to herself and began to copy what was on the board.

It was lunch time, and Ashleigh was in the lunch line getting food with Rogue. Ada was already sitting at the usual table, with Wanda. When Rogue and Ashleigh had gotten their trays of barely edible school food they walked over and sat down with the two others. Ashleigh stared at the other girl sitting with them. She looked oddly familiar, her black hair and dark eyes.

"So what was with you earlier?" Ada asked bringing Ashleigh out of her current train of thought.

Ashleigh sighed and leaned over to whisper in Ada's ear, not wanting the other girl to over hear.

But before she could say anything the girl with raven hair blurted out. "Nice Rewind, but you don't have to be secretive in front of me. Unless it's Xavier stuff, then you do."

Ashleigh was slightly taken aback by the Rewind comment. But it put together some of the pieces to the puzzle. It all fit now. "Oh. Let me guess you're the Scarlet Witch." Wanda nodded. Ashleigh turned her gaze to Ada and frowned "And your boyfriend is Quicksilver."

"Yup, and Wanda's twin brother." She gestured to Wanda.

"I don't mean to sound like I'm judgin but," Ashleigh arched an eyebrow. "Aren't we enemies?" She suddenly wasn't liking this conversation.

"Yeah, but the line is crossed sometimes." Ada replied. "I go out with Pietro, and Lance and Kitty used to go out. So it's not entirely black and white."

"Isn't it ironic?" Wanda asked sarcastically.

Ashleigh just nodded, then asked "And the professor is okay with this?"

"Not exactly." Rogue put in. "Ah mean he never really says anythin unless necessary."

"Okay." was all Ashleigh could think to say, her idea of enemies was that you hated them. They were your enemy not a friend or a boyfriend they were a person you fought with and disliked, or at least that's what the definition of enemy usually meant. But, apparently the enemy definition had some lee-way with the X-Men and Brotherhood.
