Chapter 8

"Who is it?" Camelia asked, as a quiet rapping was heard at her bedroom door.

"Erm, my names Piper... I was wondering, if you fancied some company?" Called Piper through the door.

The door opened, just enough for Camelia to peer through and see Piper on the other side. "I just came to Welcome you here at the school,... me being the other resident new kid." She smiled, holding her hand out.

Camelia looked down at it, but made no guesture of taking it. Piper, uncompfortably pulled it back. "Come in..." The Model said, and opened the door, and shut it behind her.

"How are you holding up?" Piper asked, as Camelia showed her to take a seat on the bed.

"I could be better." She said miserably.

Piper lent forward. "It's Camelia, isnt it?" She asked warily.

"You can call me Cabbie... all my friends do." She smiled lightening up a bit.

"What as in a Taxi Driver?" Piper smiled. Camelia nodded, with a half smile. "Well, my names just Piper."

"Yeah you said before, -at the door..?"

"Oh, right. I did didn't I?" Piper rolled her eyes. "You fancy getting out of here? The room, I mean... I could show you around, I've only been here a few day's myself, but I think I can manage the basic's."

"Sure, might aswell." Cabbie smiled getting to her feet. "You know, I havn't actually decided to become a student here... Professor Xavier has let me decide in the morning."

"Okay." Piper shrugged, and walked out of the door.

"So what is it she does?" Scott asked. "Apart from obviously manipulating Electricity..."

"You figured that one out all by yourself 'One eye?'" Logan teased, taking a puff of his cigar. Scott threw him a look.

"Children...?" Emma sighed, and rolled her eyes, as she sat next to Logan. She crossed her leg's, and Logan got a good look at her thigh's as she did so, from under the short skirt she was wearing.

He flicked his eyes over at Scott, who just looked disgusted at him, and turned to look at the Professor.

"That is, all I've established so far she can do. I'll put her in your tutorlidge Ororo." Charles continued.

"These are my Dorm buddies,..." Piper smiled, as they found Jubilee, and Paige in the garden.

In the style of Christmas only being a Week away, Storm had conjoured up a snowstorm, and now everything around the Mansion lay in a blanket of white.

"Hey," Jubilee smiled, her face barely visable, under a wooly hat, and a Scarf pulled up high up over her Mouth. "I'm Jubilee."

"And I'm Paige." Introduced the Blond wearing a Similar Black wooly hat. When all of a sudden two snowball's crashed into their back's. "Bobby Drake!" Paige screamed turning round. "Your seriously asking for it!" She laughed, picking up some snow, compacting it into a Ball, and threw it in Bobby's direction.

"Come on, let's get out of here." Piper asked as they ran back inside.

The rest of the day, Cabbie Ashworth stayed in the company of Piper, and occasionally Paige, and Jubilee.

"Hey Guy's!" Kitty called out running through numerous amounts of student's to get to the Four girl's. Camelia looked mortified, yet the other three, seemed to be unaware, as did most of the student's, to who Kitty had just 'phased' through. "Rogue and some of the other's were going to head into Town tomorrow, do some shopping, before our Parent's come to pick us up. You fancy joining us?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm in." Paige replied.

"Me too." Jubilee added.

"Piper?" Kitty asked looking over at her.

"I would, just, I dont have any money." Piper excused.

"Hey dont worry about that.... Professor X'll give you some... So, you game or not?" She pressed.

"Sure." Piper agreed. "How about you... you figure you'll be with us by then?" She turned to Cabbie.

She thought for a second, and eventually looked up. "I'm not sure,... but why not." She smiled.

The next day, a group of the Older student's piled into the Mall. Cabbie, having since tried to hide her appearence, by wearing thick low edged hat, and mainly scruffy clothes.

The group's soon parted way's, even Logan had found himself being dragged along by Rogue. He left by himself the first chance he got, but wandered around close to the student's, so as he could keep an eye on them.

Rogue, Bobby, Kitty, and some other student's were in one group. Warren, Paige, Jubillee, Piper, and Cabbie, found themselves in another group along with Poitr, but he left them as he walked past the book shop. There was a Book in the window, he thought his Mother might of liked.

Just as Piper's group walked past the food Court, a voice called out behind them. Freezing Piper in her step's.

"Hello Piper."

"Piper...? What's wrong?" Warren asked, as he stood beside her.

She slowly turned round, and confronted her fear. "Hello Lance."
