Chapter 5

Help Pour Out The Rain

Jenni sat up her eyes growing wider. "Cut the crap, who is this really?"

"Jen, you know good and well who this is. Always have been stubborn eh?"

"James, where in the world are you?"

"Oh crap. Jenni listen I've got to go, but I will call you back someday soon. Goodbye" he said, hanging up the phone. She looked at the phone a minute before setting it back on the receiver. The next thing she heard was Phoenix's southern drawl yelling 'Connie you stubborn ass! Get back here!'. She ran back to the living room to find an extremely funny sight. Connie was hiding on one side of Asia holding something that resembled and necklace, and Phoenix on the other side trying to get whatever she was holding. Kurt, Ororo, Logan, Emma, and Scott had gathered in the doorway as well trying to figure out what's going on.

"What's going on in here you two?" Ororo asked sleepily, but still trying to look as awake as humanly possible. Phoenix snatched the necklace away and turned to face her Professor.

"Nothing Storm.......um Connie was just, helping me find my necklace!" Phoenix lied biting her lower lip. Ororo and the rest of them went back to bed, each muttering under their breath. Colin shook his head laughing softly.

"Was that the only thing you could think of?" He asked her raising his eyebrows.

"As if you could have done any better" she answered returning to the arm of his chair. She leaned back against the chair going deep into thought. 'Ah wonder if we'll always be just friends. It would suck if we were......royally. Ah wonder if Ah should make the first move.......no I

Ah'll just wait-'. Her train of thought was broken by Asia.

"Earth to Phoenix! You drift off into new universes constantly huh?"

"Yes Ah do....what?"

"Never mind" Asia said winking at Phoenix. She didn't understand 'till later what that wink meant.

"Phoenix could I talk with you for a minute?" Colin asked standing up. She nodded following him out onto the grounds.

"What did you wanna talk to me about?"

"I guess I should say this now before I loose whatever courage I gained. Phoenix I always liked you, since I first met you. What I'm trying to say is.....would you like to have dinner with me?"

"Yes! Sure! Ah mean.....yes I'd love to have dinner with you"

A/N:Sorry it's short but it's real late.
