Chapter 9- Ugly
Author's note- This series is now moving toward the end. So hang on to your seats people it's gonna be a wild ride. It may be a while before I update after chappies 9 and 10. But I'll be back.
It's spring and love is in the air. Nicole and Scott had reconciled their differences and are now Bayville High's most exclusive couple, dating a little over a month. There are now more couples going public nowadays. Wanda has finally given Todd a chance and they've been together for the last three and a half weeks. Kurt and Amanda are tighter than ever before. Damia and John, after all the tough times they've been though, are still in romance bliss. Rogue and Remy are second in command in the exclusive couples club, getting hotter and heavier by the day. And Tabitha has now bagged the Captain of the Lacrosse team.
But as always, with pairings there are some separations. The biggest no-brainer breakup of the spring is Jean and Duncan Matthews. But it didn't end like you think it would. It wasn't because Jean was fed up with Duncan's immature behavior. It was Duncan who was fed up with Jean. She took so much time trying to convince Scott to stop dating Nicole; she'd stopped caring about Duncan, so he ended it. Pietro has been secretly sneaking around on Claudette. But Claudette has the perception in her mind that their relationship is still good, that she believes all the lies Pietro gives her.

"Hey, Nic." Rogue greeted Nicole, as she, Damia, and Tabitha sat down at their usual table in the cafeteria. Nicole had been listening to music for her performance due later that week in her dance class. She took the headphones off and greeted her friends.
"Have you guys seen Scott?" She asked them. "I mean I lost track of him after 3rd."
"You mean after you two sucked face at his locker." Tabitha stated sarcastically.
They all laughed. Scott snuck up on Nicole, pulled up a chair and sat next Nicole giving her a affectionate kiss, which the two really got into.
"Hey, Hey, Hey. There are children present." Rogue told them.
They stopped with smiles on their faces. They were hugged up together when Jean walked across their table. Nicole and Jean eyed each other very heatedly. I can't stand her, they both thought. They must have been reading each other's mind because they could hear each other. Nicole watched as Jean walked over to Kitty, Amara, Jubilee, Kurt, Evan, and Jubilee.
Jean watched Scott and Nicole as they sat and joked with Rogue, Damia, and Tabitha. I've got to put a stop to them. Jean got up from her table, and walked over to Nicole's. She walked over to Scott, and asked him, "Scott, can I talk to you for sec?" Scott excused himself and went with Jean about four feet from the table. Nicole stared sternly at Jean. She saw them mouth something back and forth to each other. Nicole blinked once, and saw Jean lean in and kiss Scott!!! Nicole started to get up angrily put Damia held her back. She calmed herself for a second, but lost all control when Scott kissed her back. The other girls mouths dropped instantly, and Damia let Nicole go. The other x members, along with Claudette and Wanda (who were exiting the lunch line) where shocked as well. "Oh shit", both Claudette and Wanda said in unison.
Nicole rushed over and broke the two apart. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Nicole demanded getting in Jean's face.
"Proving to you who Scott really wants." Jean replied.
Nicole turned around to Scott and pushed him forcefully, "And what the hell was about?!"
"Nicole, she kissed me." Scott answered, "I didn't kiss her."
"Yeah, Scott but you kissed her back. I saw you."
"It's not like that Nicole."
"Whatever, Scott. I'm out." With that she grabbed her bag, and started to walk out. By now the three had the whole cafeteria's attention. Before Nicole even got two feet from them, Jean called out to her. "It hurts, doesn't Nicole?!"
Nicole stopped in her tracks and slowly pivoted around.
"Knowing that Scott has always wanted me. And you were just his rebound. His crutch for me to notice him."
"Really, Jean?" Nicole said dropping her bag on the floor. "Because if I was his crutch. Then why is that you spent all your time trying to get him to notice you."
Nicole walked slowly closer to Jean, and Jean did the same as well, and laughed.
"Really, Grey. I want to know. I want to know the reason why, of all the guys in this school, Duncan Matthews dumped you. Is it because you're too pathetic to actually keep a relationship working with somebody that easy to please?"
"Ha Ha. You crack me up. But tell me this St. Croix, why is it that you have put yourself way out there to grab any guy's attention? Is your sister that much of a skank that you have to be queen."
Nicole laughed wickedly, then tensed up. All it took was look at Jean's face when she opened eyes, and Nicole punched Jean across the left side of her face. Jean had leaned down, holding her face. She looked back up at Nicole, with a little blood that trickled down her lip. Jean lost it, she grabbed hold of Nicole and jumped her, slamming Nicole onto a nearby table occupied by a couple of jocks, and started striking her then strangling her. They backed up and began shouting GIRL FIGHT. Nicole had rolled Jean over, and was on top of Jean, continuously striking her. Claudette and Wanda rushed over to break them up as well as Kitty and Amara. They pried the girls apart, as Nicole began shouting incoherent things to Jean. Like, "You're lucky they stopped me" and "You better watch your back."
As the two were dragged in opposite directions, they managed to calm themselves. Once Nicole was alone walking down the hallway, she was approached by Scott. "We need to talk." He told her, she could tell by his facial expression that this wasn't good. They walked into the nearest deserted space away from everyone, an empty classroom, and locked the door. As soon as Nicole and Scott sat down on that teacher's desk, Nicole began speaking.
"What the hell was that about? You kissed Jean right in front of me."
"Nic, I already told you. She kissed me. She started in on me about an earlier arguement and when I started to walk away, she kissed me."
"I understand that Scott, but you kissed her back. If she kissed you, and you like someone else, you don't kiss her back."
"I'm sorry, Nic." He pulled her into him, wrapped his arms around her, and held her trying to make her feel better. "Look there's something else we need to talk about. Nicole, I think we need some time apart right now."
Nicole looked up at Scott and pushed herself away from him. "What?"
"I think we need some space, you know."
"Need some space?" She stood up. "What do you mean we need some space? Scott, We've been together for a little over two months, and been friends even longer. Why would you...." She looked at him and realized something. "You're not over it yet."
"What are you talking about?"
"Damnit Scott, You know exactly what I'm talking about. You're still not over the fact that we work on two different sides."
Scott remained silent.
"I knew it. Scott, how could you do this to me? I've put up with everybody shit at the house all for you. My roomates never compliment me on anything they just give me crap about you being with me. Now, they won't even talk to me. Including Claudette. Scott, my own twin sister won't even talk to me. Do you know how sad and pathetic that is?" She turned away from him, and faced the back of the classroom.
"Nicole, I'm really, truly sorry. I know this is extremely bad timing. But, I've always wanted Jean to like me more than just a friend. Now that I have my chance, I really want to take it. There's nothing against you at all. I mean you are very beautiful, sweet, smart, funny, and the coolest girl I've met in a long time. I know there's someone out there for you."
Nicole faced him again, but this time she had tears flowing down her cheeks. "Scott. I can't believe this. After all we've been though, and all we've experianced together, how could you do this? I really care about you. No, I loved you Scott Summers. And you're just throwing what we have away?"
"I'm sorry Nicole."
"This is bullshit. Bye Scott. Have a nice life with Jean."
Nicole grabbed her bag, and walked the classroom just as the students and teacher were coming in.
Nicole passed her sister and Wanda in the hallway at Wanda's locker. Claudette noticed Nicole walking swiftly up the hallway. She called out to her. "NICOLE?"
The farther she got, the more tears came. Claudette saw that something was wrong. She called out again, "NIC? WHAT'S WRONG?!"
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE." Nicole shouted back. Once she'd gotten past Wanda, Nicole sprinted up the hallway, and out the front doors, trying to fight the tears back, but was unsuccessful. Nicole sprinted all the way to the boarding house, even though Claudette was the fast one, Nicole managed to get to Claudette's minimum speed.
Claudette saw Scott come out of the classroom. She stalked over to him and slammed him against the wall. "If my sister's damaged in any way, you're mine, got me red eyes?!" She told him angerily. Claudette let him go, and ran the same trail her sister did. Once outside, Claudette flew up into the sky, and began the search for her sister. At this state, Claudette knew that Nicole would go anywhere.
