SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1Cole.

A.P. stopped, looking at him.  He was here not even ten feet away from her.  He was talking to a group of kids.  The words that were coming out of his mouth were all a blur.  All she could hear was the rapid beating of her heart.

He was talking and smiling.  How dare he smile.  How dare he talk to people that accepted her.  How dare he be in this school.  How dare he still be alive. 

She watched him.  As he moved, her body filled with repulsion and an angry hatred.  A.P. watched as he turned his head and laid his blue eyes on her.  His lips moved into a sinister grin as he walked over to her.

A.P.'s anger started to build up inside of her.  She was shooting daggers at him with her eyes and her hands were balled up into fists at her sides.  He walked up close to her and she didn't back down to him.

"Well, well fancy meeting little Jamie here," the wicked smirk remained on his face. 

"A.P." A.P.'s voice was low and full of disdain.

"Ahh, not still mad are ya."

"Why are you here?"her voice was angry enough to draw a small crowd of kids. 

"Well I thought everyone was welcome here."

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"her scream quieted the halls and now there was a crowd encircling them. 

"Come on you know you are glad to see me," he barely got his sentence out before A.P. cried out in anger and jumped at him, fists flailing and feet kicking.  But before she got halfway through the air she felt someone pull her back down.

Bobby and John caught her and she started to struggle against them.  "Let me go!!"she screamed in dismay. 

Cole through his head back in laughter.  "Looks like you have been making friends while you have been here."

"A.P. what's wrong?" Rogue squeezed her way through the crowd.

"Is this your friend too?" Cole smirked again and looked at Rogue in a way that made her squirm under his gaze. 

"Leave them alone!"  A.P. started to kick wildly as John and Bobby struggled to keep a hold of her. 

"What's going on here?"  The whole crowd turned to see the professor wheel his way toward him.       

"Professor!"  A.P. exclaimed, her feet finally on the floor, "Professor you have to make him leave.

"Cole? Why should he leave?  He just got here today."

"You have to make him leave! He can't stay here!" her voice was now more desperate than angry.

"We will continue this in my office.  Cole, A.P. follow me.  The rest of you go back to your classes."

A.P. sat as far away from Cole as she could.  The need to get up and punch him in anger was as great as the need to break down and get the answers to the questions that were burning inside of her.

The professor wheeled himself behind his desk and started to talk, "Now what exactly is the problem here?"

Neither one of his students jumped to answer the question.  Which is what he had expected. 

"Why don't we start from the beginning.  How do you know each other?"

Much to A.P.'s disgust Cole started to speak, "We were friends before she-,"

A.P. cut him off, "We were never friends,"

"We were friends before she decided to hate me."

"Oh, so this is before you betrayed us and killed them!"

"I didn't kill anyone Jamie."

"A.P.!  And I saw-,"

"You saw what!  You weren't in your right mind you don't know what you saw!"

A.P. gave into her loathing and a ball of fire appeared in her palm as she flew to her feet.  Cole was quicker. A ball of blue light left his hands before he was on his feet.  The ball hit A.P. and she threw her head back and let out a quick scream as the pain soared through her body, engulfing it in a blue light.  Trapping her powers within her. "LET ME GO COLE!!" 

He didn't have time to answer her.  The door opened to reveal Jean, Scott, and Storm.  "Maybe we won't see such a display of power if we talk to them separately professor,"said Scott. 

The professor nodded, "Cole let her go I think we need to talk to her."  Cole hesitated.  "Let her go and go back to your classes," the professor repeated.  Cole waved his hand and the blue light left A.P.  He walked silently out of the room as the three X-men walked in. 

The professor turned to A.P., "Sit down and tell us how you know him."  She turned to look at the door.  Scott was standing in front of it with his hands crossed over his chest guarding it.  She took a deep breath and sat down.  The only way out of the room now was to explain the truth to them. 

And if she didn't tell them they would hear Cole's version.  Who knows what he would try to tell them.  He had probably turned her into some psychotic mass murderer. 

"There was this place.....a lab," she squirmed in her seat uncomfortable with even saying the story aloud.  No one else knew what had happened that night.  She thought she was the only one left.
