Chapter 1
The grounds of Xavier's school were alive with foliage. Many vibrant colours were nestled amongst the flood of green across the large area. Sweet spring flowers stood shyly amongst thick leaves. The buds slowly waved to its neighbours, swaying together enchantedly as the sun shimmered from its high position, mocking the grounded pupils that walked across the lawn in their break.
The atmosphere outside was light and merry, the spring had brought such a wonderful ambience, bringing the vocal chorus of lazily humming bees and the buzz or a few flies as they passed through the flowery clusters.
The relaxed and lazy atmosphere hovered indoors too, but within the main hall the elder students grouped nervously, awaiting their exam results they had done earlier that month. Within the group was Rogue, sat down in one of the many blue chairs that lined the walls. Her gloved arms were folded round her chest and her foot tapped irritated against the shiny wooden floor. She was sat in the middle of the right hand wall, windows ahead of her.
Footsteps were heard to her left and her eyes slowly lifted to eye the extra presence. Unfortunately, the sun shone heavily through the tall windows at the far end, and two silhouettes were all she could see, backdropped by the glow of the afternoon sun.
"Who's that?" She demanded urgently, her voice sharp from the disturbance from worries of oncoming exam results.
One of the silhouettes swooped in towards her and she found a cold kiss being placed ever so quickly to her cheek, it then drew away before the pull of her powers came. The figure then sat beside her, and all came clear, "Hey Bobby!" She said with a grin, hugging onto his clothed arm. She then looked up to the second figure, which was still a mystery in the silhouette.
"How much longer do you think the Professor will be?" It said softly, nervously.
From the familiar tone of their voice, Rogue grinned, "Hey Rian!" She said. Rian softly hmphed, he looked preoccupied with his worries. He then started pacing, his features disappearing and reappearing as he passed the sunlight in front of Rogue.
"Hey.. Rian." Said Bobby cautiously, "Sit down, yeah?"
"Yeah, you're making me more nervous." Added Rogue.
Rian glanced at them both before he took the seat beside Rogue, "Sorry." He mumbled softly.
The pair dismissed his apology with a shake of their heads.
"So.." Said Rian softly, "What are you both planning on doing?"
Bobby smiled some, "Well, if my results are high enough, I want to try for the X-Men!"
A nasty laugh was heard from the group stood a little further on, "Iceman wants to join the X-Men? You're kiddin' right? You have to be special for that group."
The three head's turned back to the voice that mocked Bobby. A narrow face smirked their way, dark brown hair hung over bright blue eyes that gleamed from a faintly freckled face. It was Sprite, a pretty vicious character when he wanted to be.
"Oh, shut up.." Muttered Rogue softly sending a sharp glare his way.
"Ah.. but it's true!" Announced Sprite, "You need to have over 90% to join them you know."
"I do know.." Said Bobby sternly.
Sprite grinned broadly, "Good! So you're ready for the disappointment then?"
Bobby grunted, deciding that getting into a fight now was not a good idea. He was so close to his goal he had had for months and months that only got stronger since Pyro's death. There was no way he was going to show himself up to Professor Xavier; he really wanted a place with the X-Men. From the stuff he had been involved in.. he thought he should be able to handle it.
Bobby turned back to Rogue and Rian and shook his head. Indicating to let it rest.
Sprite was about to say something when Scott moved over. He had been patrolling the hall, cheering up various people and sorting out the occasional disruption of peace. Sprite, upon noticing Scott's journey towards him turned away and rejoined his small talk with a large boy beside him.
Rogue however continued the same topic, "You'll get it Bobby.. Those lessons we got with Professor Xavier should have helped." She smiles faintly, "Logan was right y'know. Revising with the staff will help us get these results.. Plus it gives us better chance in the interview because they get to know us well."
"What? You want to join too?" Asked Rian, peering at her interestedly.
Rogue nodded at him.
Rian grinned, "I'm hoping I'll get in too!"
Bobby now smirked at Rian, "Hey.. You get top marks in everything, you'll walk it."
Rian couldn't help but smile at this comment, it certainly helped nerves. Rian was about to continue when the mains doors opened and Charles and Storm walked in. Rogue gasped faintly, feeling her heart sink and her stomach writhe amongst ice, "Oh God.."
Bobby clutched at her gloved hand before pulling her up, "Come on.. Let's go and grab our letters." He said softly.
Sprite sneered to the three as they passed, "Be prepared Iceman!"
Bobby quite simply ignored the voice, but smiled as he felt Rogue's grip tighten gently. The three then joined the bustling crowd at the end of the hall, each one eager to grab their letter and run away to either shriek with joy, or to weep with fury.
*** New characters will be added to the website as they appear in the story. Give me chance though
So, that was my first chapter? I wanted to concentrate on the students, because they'll be playing a big part in this.
Please review! Let me know how it is!
FanFiction is being funny to me.. removing words from this little author note bit. Does it when I put punctuation marks.. Hm. And where are these lines coming from? O.o
