Just to clarify a few things: Lina is mine. Made her up. Angelica of course isn't mine. Bonnie well…She's a nastier version of a character from an old episode of Spider Man and His Amazing Friends: The Episode…A Firestar is Born. I think you people can see where I'm going with this one.

Conversation in a Bathroom

"Lina?" Angelica walked in. She heard her crying in one of the stalls. "Lina come on. You shouldn't listen to Bonnie. She's just a jealous jerk. Trust me on this. Lina come on. Don't take what she says seriously. She's an idiot."

"She…she might be right…" Lina sniffed.

"Okay did you hit your head or something? Because that is the biggest bull I have ever…" Angelica opened the stall door. Her mouth opened. Lina had removed her headband. On her forehead were two very noticeable bumps. "You hit your head twice?"

"I found them the other day," Lina sniffed. "At first I thought it was only a couple of pimples but they keep growing and growing…"

"Oh man," Angelica blinked. "Well maybe they are pimples. Large pimples."

"No…There's more…" Lina's voice was shaky. She was reluctant to talk.

"It's okay," Angelica said gently. "You can tell me. I…I think I'm a mutant. Well I probably am a mutant. Well…yeah I am one."

"You?" Lina blinked.

"It's a useless power," Angelica told her. "All I can do is warm things up through physical contact. It's not even very strong. I'll show you."

She put her hands on a nearby pipe connecting the toilet. It started to get warm. "All I can do is warm up coffee and water," Angelica confessed. "Once I kind of heated up a pipe too much and accidentally somehow set off the sprinklers."

"During the dance?" Lina blinked.

"Yeah that was me," Angelica said. "Okay so now you know my secret. So what's your other one?"

"Well…" Lina started to gag. "Oh no…" Suddenly she put her head over the toilet. Angelica held her hair and stared in shock. Instead of bile, some milky white silken material emerged from her mouth. In seconds the toilet was overflowing with it. "I can't stop doing it. I try to hold it in all the time but…" She gasped.

"Gross…" Angelica blinked. "Sorry, but I guess I can see why you didn't wanna tell me!"

"Lucky for me it dries really fast," Lina gasped. "I've been throwing it out in the trash for days. I keep telling my parents I've been cleaning my closet so nobody's looked in it. And with three sisters and brothers that's a challenge!"

"Three?" Angelica realized that she knew nothing of Lina's home life.

"Well my older brother's in law school," Lina seemed to calm down. "My mom wants me to be a doctor like my aunt."

"Is that what you want?" Angelica asked.

"Well yes," Lina said. "I've always wanted to be a doctor. What else is there? What do you want to be?"

"Uh I haven't exactly gotten that far yet," Angelica admitted.

"Oh. Do your parents know?" Lina asked. "About the mutant thing?"

"My mom died when I was little," Angelica told her. "But my dad knows. It doesn't bother him."

"I'm afraid it will bother mine," Lina lowered her eyes.

"I know somebody," Angelica said. "My doctor knows. He's nice and he won't say anything. Maybe he can help. He's been giving me some pills lately. You see it used to really hurt when I…well you know. But at least the pain's pretty much gone and it's helping me keep it under control. Most of the time. Meet me after school by the library, okay? If anybody asks, you're tutoring me in Algebra."

"Thank you," Lina sighed. "But how do we get rid of this stuff?"

"Maybe all we have to do is flush it?" Angelica suggested. She tried to.

"It's not working!" Lina wailed. Then the bell rang. "Oh no!"

"Come on! Come on…AAAHHH!" A burst of red heat flew from Angelica's hands. Soon the toilet was burning."

"What did you do?" Lina yelled.

"I think I just set it on fire," Angelica gulped. "Let's get out of here!" They ran out of the stall and out of the girl's room.

Just in time to bump into Bonnie. "Well Lina what a surprise," She said in a saccharine voice. "What are you doing with the Jinx?"

"My name's Angelica, Bonnie!" She snapped. "If anybody's a jinx it's you!"

"Whatever Loser!" Bonnie walked into the girl's room while Angelica and Lina walked quickly away. "EWW! WHAT'S THAT SMELL?"

"Do I smell smoke?" A random teacher sniffed. She walked in just in time to see Bonnie covered in smoke at one of the stalls. Lina's mess had burned up very quickly, leaving only a peculiar stench. "BONNIE BLAKE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW?"

"But I didn't…I mean…" Bonnie tried to explain. "The toilet was on fire!"

"Yeah right. Don't lie to me girl! I know the smell of burning hemp when I smell it!" The teacher shouted. "You are coming with me!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Bonnie screamed. "THIS IS THE JINX'S FAULT! I KNOW IT!"
