A/N: Thanks to everyone for reviewing. I'll try to bring out Keiko's
personality.
Chapter 3: Missing
"I step off the train, I'm walking down your street again, and past your door, but you don't live there anymore."
Keiko was in her new room now. She was supposed to be sharing it with two other girls, but she didn't know who they were. The room was WAY to girly and pink for her. Black suited her much better. All of her life had been dark like that. Her parents never wanted her. She only had two friends at school, Kagome and Faye. Everyone else thought she was a freak. There was a boy that she used to like, but he turned into a jock. She hated jocks because they hated her. Now she got to start over.
"I wonder if anyone here will like me," she asked herself. "I wonder how Kagome and Faye are."
She really didn't know how to feel. Could she trust these people? She had never been able to trust anyone before. Yesterday, she was normal. Now she possessed limitless power. What could happen next?
"It's years since you've been there. Now you've disappeared somewhere like outer space, you've found some better place."
Suddenly, the door opened. Three girls walked in.
"You must be Keiko," one of them said.
"I guess word spreads around fast at this school," Keiko responded.
"No kidding," said another girl. "I'm Jubilee, that's Rogue, and that's Kitty."
They all smiled respectively.
"I really like your clothes? Where do you shop?" asked Rogue.
"Oh, these old things?" Keiko responded. "Thrift store, totally."
"Oh my gosh, that's so awesome," Rogue replied.
"Hmm..maybe I should go to thrift stores," replied Jubilee. They all three got in to a big conversation about clothes. Kitty didn't say anything. She just left after awhile. Keiko couldn't help but think that Kitty didn't like her, but that couldn't deter the happiness she was feeling. She was finally wanted by someone. The Institute was where she belonged.
The next day, Keiko started classes at the Institute. She started off with Dr. McCoy's chemistry class. She sat next to a cute boy with spiky hair.
"Who is that?" she asked Jubilee.
"That's Bobby, Rogue's boyfriend. You probably want to stay away from him. She'll get jealous," said Jubilee.
Keiko would hate to make a friend mad, so she decided to take the advice.for now.
After class, Bobby and his friend John were walking down the hall.
"Hey Drake, I noticed you checking out that new girl in class," he said.
"No I wasn't," said Bobby.
"Sure," said John. "Talk to you later."
Bobby shook his head. He should know who he liked and who he didn't. He was content with Rogue. He didn't need a pretty new girl. Then again, she seemed really cool. Could she be enough to break him and Rogue up? Now way, he thought. Then again...
"Bobby, you'd better stay away from that Keiko girl. She is weird," said Kitty from behind him.
"Well, you know what? I don't care what you think. No one does," said Bobby as he walked away.
Kitty sighed and walked away. She had her eye on Bobby, and she wouldn't let him get away. Even if it meant going through Rogue AND Keiko.
"And I miss you-like the deserts miss the rain."
