Ch 8 up now, sorry about the long wait, been having some family, and personal issues along with writer's block, lets say, not a good mix. Thanks for the reviews, keep e'm coming.


Scott sat down on the corner of his bed and thought. I don't see why everyone is avoiding me, Scott thought angrily to himself. It's not like I killed anybody, I just stood up for them, and me as well. A sharp thought took over his mind, they don't want to be around street trash like me, Scott mentally told the voice to stop, but it wouldn't. It seemed possible; it very well could be true. Scott eventually agreed with the voice. It was like the angel and devil thing, but for one thing there was no angel, maybe he wasn't clean or pure enough to have one or whatever, and another thing was he wouldn't be able to tell if he had an angel and devil on each shoulder like in the cartoons, since he couldn't see anything anyways.

Jean sat at her desk, writing a letter to her parents.

Dear Mom, Dad, and Sara

How are you guys? I really like the gift you sent me a couple of weeks ago, it's awesome. I'm sorry I didn't make it home for your birthday Sara, will you forgive me? I was just so busy with well everything. We got a new student here, his name is Scott Summers. Don't worry Dad; he's not really my type. He's blind though, so we need to be careful around him. He's a bit strange, but I mean if you're blind, it's kind of normal to be strange, or whatever. Soccer's going great, I am doing really well, I think I may be voted team captain, I'm so excited. Kitty is fine, and as crazy as ever. She says hi. I really miss you guys, when can you come up and visit me? I'm sure your experience would be truly interesting.

Love your one and only, Jean.

She let out a sigh of satisfaction as she sealed the envelope. She carefully wrote down the addresses on it, and applied the stamp. She reminded herself to mail it tomorrow morning before she forgot.

She looked at her clock, dang, its 12:00 already, she thought to herself. She got up from her desk chair and changed into her light blue happy bunny pajamas, and slippers. She headed quietly down the hall towards the bathroom, making sure to not wake anyone up with excess noise.

She paused outside Scott's door, hearing him having another nightmare, it was hard, she was debating weather to wake him up or not. She decided to let him be, she really didn't want to face that feeling she got when she was around him. It was if her heart was going to explode out of her chest. She just wanted to put it off as something else, but she knew what it was. She Jean Grey had a crush on the strange blind kid in that room. She didn't know why she liked him so much, it was sort of scary. She didn't really know him at all.

After Jean got in bed, she found she couldn't sleep. Something was nagging at her, keeping her awake. She sighed and rolled over, trying to find a comfortable position. A small voice in her head was telling her something, it just seemed to make no sense, It said,... you like ...him…..admit it……denial……talk to This kept going on until Jean finally fell asleep.


Sorry about the shortness, but I have a load of stuff to do, and some people coming over, I'll try to get a new chapter up really soon.
