(See what did I tell you I always forget these)

Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men: Evolution in any way shape or form, please do not sue me, I make no profit from these stories they are for entertainment purposes only!

HI! Thank you all so much for your reviews, they were so kind. I always love to read your opinions because they help me to write more.

Ingrid: Yes Jean and Scott have powers, I just haven't gotten there yet, I'm still trying to think of a way for her to use them in a situation that allows Scott to literally "fall-head-over-heels" for her.

Wen1: You're always one of the first! I always look forward to your reviews! Thank you!

Telepathic Angel: I thank you for saying that I deserve more reviews, but I think there just aren't people out there who are noticing my stories and reading them, that's what gets me my reviews. And thank you for saying my last chapter was "gorgeous"!

Mark C: You are one of the ones who always seem to have the longest reviews, but I always looked forward to everything you have to say. There's always a bit of encouragement in your words. Thank you!

Slickboy444: I finally read one of your adult fanfictions! I LOVED IT! I read "Hanging By A Moment" what a story! I reviewed it, too, I don't know if you've seen it. But what a story! I was just wondering about it, though, is it done, or is there more to come? And I don't mean to always rate my stories R, I just never know what's going to happen and if it'll be appropriate for younger teens. I wish I had your writing talent. You have such a way with words and plots, I enjoy every one of your stories that I read.

Diaz F: Thank you for trying the code! And I appreciate your review very much. But I guess I'll just have to tell you my code.

First I wrote the alphabet backwards:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A

S lines up with H-S the first letter in Scott's name

C lines up with X-C the second letter in Scott's name

Then I decided to make it a little more interesting so I added numbers, and I thought how am I going to do that? I looked at my cell phone and there was the answer.

1 2 (ABC) 3(DEF)

4(GHI) 5(JKL) 6(MNO)

7(PQRS) 8(TUV) 9(WXYZ)

6 has the letter O attached to it-O the third letter in Scott's name.

T lines up with G-T the fourth letter in Scott's name.

8 has T attached to it-T the fifth letter in Scott's name.

And just to throw some people for the hell of it I added S to the end.

7 has S attached to it-S the first letter of Scott's last name.

So, HX6G87 ScottS. As for the prize, I was going to give whoever got my code the chance to tell me what they wanted to see in a story, give anything you want and I would write the story any way they wanted, so long as it was appropriate for Fanfiction. Sorry if anyone got confused, I thought it would be fun.

I apologize for anyone that may be angry with me at this point and I hope you all enjoy my next chapter!

Chapter 3: Swallowing Her Pride

Jean sat at her usual table for lunch with her friends staring off at the table where her crush sat, just watching him. He didn't look over at her table once, but her eyes were still glued to him. Jean took another bite of her sandwich and sighed. Her friend Sandy turned her head and saw Jean's crush.

"Oh, Jean, you have to talk to him. This is getting sad."

"I can't just talk to him, Sandy." Jean said never breaking her eye contact with her crush, (A/N: She's still just staring at him he's not looking at her). "He's in a whole other league than me."

"Jean if that's the only reason, it's a poor reason."

"That's not the only reason." Jean admitted.

"You're afraid to get hurt." Sandy spoke Jean's exact thoughts, like she was the telepath.

"Yeah mostly. He's the first guy I've ever felt this way about."

"Jean, I've been there. You have to talk to him. If you don't it'll torture you forever."

"It's torturing me now."

"Then talk to him. Are you in any classes together?"

"Yeah, three. We're in math together next." Jean watched him as he rose from his table to throw out his trash. A few girls caught up with him on his way back to his table and he had to shake them off. Jean felt jealousy flare up, but it was gone as soon as he sat back down and was within watching view again.

"Oh yeah," Sarah, another one of Jean's friends, piped up, "I'm in Jean's class next period, too. I'll make sure she talks to him, Sandy."

"Good, she better. I want a full report." Jean just continued to stare at her crush and sighed again.

"Ok, here he comes, Jean. Get ready." Sarah said looking over Jean's shoulder as her crush walked up talking with his friends. "Jean, hello?"

Jean snapped her head to face her friend. "I can't do this, Sarah."

"Just say hi, here he comes. No wait, Jean what are you doing?"

"Hey, Scott!" Jean said cheerily and waving at him.

"Hi," Scott muttered back.

"Jean,"

"Sorry."

"But oh my God, Scott Summers just said hi to you!" Sarah patted Jean's shoulder. "Wow, I'm so jealous. He's so cute!" Sarah squealed excitedly.

"I know, he's so wonderful."

"You hardly know him." The bell interrupted Sarah and the girls were shooed into their classroom by their teacher. Jean walked slowly to her seat in front of Scott and set her things down then slid into her seat.

"Hey," Jean felt a tap on her back and turned to look at Scott.

"What?" Jean whispered back.

"Did you get number four and nine on the homework from last night?" Scott looked so cute.

"Uh…"

Before Jean could answer the teacher, Ms. Sobel, called out for them to take out their homework and then called six students to the board to put up some of the problems. "Sarah, number 2. Ben, number 3. Carrie, number 5. Jean, number 6. Albert, number 7. And, Scott, number 9."

Jean smiled as she imagined the scared look on Scott's face then got up from her seat and walked to the board, picked up a piece of chalk then began the problem. "Jean," Scott whispered.

"Yeah,"

"Can you help, I didn't understand number nine." Jean nodded and shifted her notebook over so Scott could see it and look at the problem. He looked it over, checked out her work, and then nodded. "Oh, ok, now I get it, thank you." Jean nodded again as she finished her problem. She clapped the dust off her hands on her way back to her seat.

"All right," Ms. Sobel called out once more in her usual droning voice, and then class began another forty-two minutes of sitting there trying not to fall asleep. When the bell finally rang at 12: 18 Jean was first to the door, but she barely made it out of the classroom without feeling a tap on her shoulder.

"Thanks again. I was thinking maybe, since I don't understand this, maybe we could get together after school sometime and you could tutor me maybe. We do live under the same roof." Scott said in a quiet voice.

"Sure, that would be fine." Jean answered clearing herself from the doorway and standing against a locker.

"Cool. So I'll see you later."

"Ok." Jean watched Scott walk away, unable to get a certain dorky, lovesick smile off of her face.

A/N: Chapter 3 DONE! REVIEW PLEASE! Next chapter will include Jean and Scott's study session and a few things will come out.
