Twist sighed and rubbed her eyes, picking up where she had left. Inside she was feeling a bit annoyed by what she was reading, but she could understand Alyx too. She had been like her long, long ago... it had been a bad period of her life, she had loads of doubts, troubles about her powers and she was being hunted by memories of her sister Serena... Twist kept on reading.

"... I... Lost control. I never meant to, but I did. It was only my second day as a mutant and I had already managed to put students lives in danger. Anyway, I ran at room, passing by students that pushed away as I passed. I didn't know why. Were they just amazed or... I started to pack again bag again. I was crying, wondering where to go next, after all I had lost two homes in two days... I was just thinking how much I missed you and Gaudi, thinking if it wouldn't be better if... if... if I died on that car crash with you.

Then I saw my reflex on the mirror and cried out. I looked like a monster! My skin was covered with a red stone layer with spikes on it. Only my eyes were showing, and it was growing towards my hair too... I yelled and cried when I saw myself! I got so scared for looking like that, I opened the window and still in my pyjamas and barefoot I jumped out into the night, forgetting that I was on the 2nd floor. I remember that I hit the floor hard and rolled, feeling like my bones were about to break. I got up feeling an indescribable pain, stumbling as I ran and finely fell onmy knees on the grass near the lake. I was so scared dad, feeling so alone, so much pain...

I felt the crystals on my skin getting thicker and they were pulsing with a faded red light. Every time they pulsed it hurt me. I ended up crying out loud for help, hugging myself. Trembling, I saw Connor running towards me, but crying I told him to step back. I didn't want him to get near me, I'd might just hurt him too, like I did to Twist. I was so confused. Even still he touched me, tried to keep me calm and used his powers to transfer my pain to him. I tried to push him away, I even insulted him... I'm so ashamed now. My powers were out of control, after forming what looked like an armour around my body, it was spreading to the dark grass, solidifying it.

He kept on talking to me, telling me it was going to be alright, for me not to give up. I dunno why, I know I snapped at him, the crystals around me exploded and flew all around. I guess he was lucky he didn't get hurt by the flying debris. I kinda relaxed after that and told him I was sorry. He understood and helped me to sit, helping me to clean the blood from my wounds. He talked me into relaxation and asked me what had happened. I told him everything since I had "attacked" Twist and told him how my powers had reacted. He asked me if those were my powers, being able to solidify things in to stone. I nodded, at the moment, it was what I could do, to transform things into red stone.

He asked me if I could do something else and guess what, dad? I can! With Connor's help, I've made some chairs and a table made of stone. And they are strong like hell! Connor kicked them hard and tried to brake them, but he couldn't! But I can! If I relax or get really angry, I can brake the stone! Now I know my powers I can create stone, wich is nearly unbreakable and I can also create objects that only I can destroy. I don't have control over my powers yet and I know they react out of my control when I get scared, angry or stressed. Together, we learned that the crystals were made of red-ruby quartz, the same quartz that professor Cyclops had on his glasses. It's practically indestructible! That was why me, Twist and Connor had a really hard time trying to break them! And Connor even suggested a code name for me, as almost everyone has one... he suggested Quartz. I kinda liked it. Quartz...

I guess I have to thank him for this way of understanding myself and my powers. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be a threat for me and others. Connor was so helpful, so nice to me, besides, he said that my powers were really cool! You gotta love the guy but... Well, I should have known that it was too good to be true, that such a nice guy would be free. Yeah, he has a girlfriend already. Chiara. And he loves her a lot. He kept on talking about her when we were outside and until daybreak. His eyes were so bright when he talked about her... I got sad of course, but always nodded with a smile. I was happy for him, I really was. He was a nice guy and so was Chiara, so they deserved each other.

Oh well... he went to be with her one hour ago and I returned to the mansion, that's why I'm writing now. Streak and a friend of hers, Marcus, helped me into the room, making sure I was ok. Twist wasn't on the room, I hoped she was alright. Streak said she had went to England with Silence. I hope she's not mad at me, I must apologise, and I hope she wont bite my head off for that.

Anyway, Chiara and Connor passed by here like 30 minutes go, to see if I was ok. I was trying to hide my broken heart, but as I said, I'm happy for them. And I hope they date for a long time, that's my wish for them. I only hope I get to find someone for me too, that I'll like more than I liked Connor.

Love and missing you Dad and Gaudi loads,

Alyx!

P.S. – I really must apologise to Twist! I hope we can get to be friends after this... I really hope so! And I must go shopping, the crystals on my knees have ripped up all my jeans!"

"So you're going with Marcus to the cinema?"

Alyx blushed and nodded as she, Chiara, Gaudi and Lucea went up the stairs to the dorms. The others laughed and walked the corridor as Chiara had made the question.

"Well, yeah why not? It's only a trip to the cinema..." Alyx said and shrugged with a smile.

"I don't think I heard Marcus asking me if he could take you out." Gaudi said with a grin and his arm around Lucea's waist. She giggle and poked him. Chiara and Alyx laughed.

"Stop acting like a daddy, Gaudi." Lucea said and kissed his cheek.

"I'm her older brother! I have the right to be protective over my little sister!" he said back laughing, winking his blue eyes at Alyx.

They all laughed and Chiara said bye to them and went to her room. Gaudi and Lucea said their goodnights to her and went to their room.

"Oh yeah, Gaudi? This time keep quiet on your room! Sometimes I can hear you all the way here!" Alyx said and laughed, Chiara, at the door of her room laughed too as Gaudi and Lucea became blushed and entered the room quickly, banging the door. Alyx and Chiara laughed a lot and said goodnight to each other. Alyx opened the door of her room but even before she could gaze at the inside of the room, she had already been hit by a pillow on her face.

"Twist...?" she said taking the pillow off of her face, feeling her hair starting to fly with the wind inside of the room.

"So I'm a bitch?" Twist sat on the bed, with the diary on her lap, her eyes red, controlling the wind.

Alyx looked at her with a frown, only then noticing the book she had on her lap. When she realised it wad her diary, she closed the door with a bang. The wind stopped then and Twist gazed at her.

"You too, Twist?! For god sakes, that's my diary! A thing that's supposed to be privet!" Alyx said, but she didn't sound angry... she only sounded sad. "First Chiara, now you... Twist, what is in there, I wrote it one year ago, ok? You're not a bitch..." And sat down on the end of Twist's bed, pushing way her long hair. "Look Twist..."

Twist turned at her and gave her the diary, feeling the tension. She thought how'd she would feel if Alyx ever read her diary too. She's be so pissed off... and yet, Alyx only seemed sad.

"You're not angry that I've read your diary?" she asked sitting beside Alyx. "You did toss it at me."

"No Twist, I'm not angry. I'm disappointed." Alyx looked at her, her blue eyes darkened. "You don't imagine the times I could have read your journal, the times I saw it on your bed stand and I never did it, Twist. And the first time you got your hands on mine..."

"Look, I never meant to read your diary but... well, Chiara read it too..." Twist tried to explain, really not knowing way. Usually she never gave explanations for her actions. She thought that she was because she understood Alyx's position.

"Twist..." Alyx sighed. "Ok, let's end this. If you asked me to read my diary, I'd let you. But as you read it, let's set things right. Just keep in mind that I've wrote that one year ago. What have you read?"

"I read about that night when you lost control over your powers." Twist said. "You wrote I was a bitch." And winds starting to move again on the room.

"Twist, you had scared the shit out of me. For the first time I had saw the full length of my powers just because you had scared me. Of course I felt like cursing you but... have you read it to the end?"

"Yes." Twist nodded and the winds calmed down.

"Then you know that I was sorry I said that. I just didn't know how to react, I only wanted to be your friend but--" Alyx tried to explain.

"But I was a bitch at you right from the beginning." Twist ended with a soft smile. "I understand you got frightened by me, and I WAS being a bitch, not only for you, but for everyone. Too many bad things were happening to me at the moment, so I kinda un-pilled at you when you attacked me."

"So can you forgive me for what I wrote?" Alyx smiled looking at the diary, keeping it in the drawer of her bedside table.

"Yeah I guess... but I wont apologise for being a bitch, if that's what you're waiting for." Twist laughed, taking a pillow.

"No... If you did you'd stop being who you are, and that was going to be baaaad!! I like you just the way you are! Winds, hurricanes and all!" Alyx laughed amused and Twist followed. Alyx was happy. Seeing a smile on Twist's face was so rare, she had passed for so many though situations... She was glad they were friends, good friends. Maybe best friends one day, who knew?

Twist putted on some music and Alyx wondered in the room, looking for her pyjamas and a towel, before she went to shower. Twist was making the pillow she had on her hand float around on the air, waving her body at the sound of the rock music that was coming from the radio.

"Say, Alyx?" Twist asked keeping the pillow floating.

"Yeah?"

"You said a bit ago... if I asked to read your diary, you'd really let me?" and looked at Alyx that laughed.

"Actually... no."

"You bitch!" Twist laughed and threw the pillow at her and Alyx dodged, taking another pillow tossing it to Twists face. Both laughed and started up a pillow fight, chasing each other, laughing and yelling amused. The ones that passed on the outside of the room, just stood there listening to the riot.
