Ashiko- I've been watching a lot of x-men evolution so i decided to make a fan fiction that's been in my head for a little while now, i decided that toad doesn't get enough props or love and he deserves some cause he is one of my favorite characters, so i hope you like it
chapter one (The new girl)
"ah man...stupid jerks makin' me late mystique is gonna have a fit if she finds me, and boom boom needs to respect my privacy, i mean come on does she always have to be bombing her way into the bathroom when I in there...always stealing my mouthwash. She needs to buy her own man." Toad grumbled to himself has he hopped down the hallway in malcontent, the bell had rung a few minutes previous to that moment and it had left him quite disgruntled.
As he continued to complain to nobody he was suddenly lurched backwards and slammed into a locker by the infamous quarter back...Dunken. Who with two of his football buddies by his side, grinned maliciously at the helpless toad; "yo, frog face surprise seeing you out here." The muscle bound brute spoke hearing laughs from his friends. "O-oh...h-hey Dunken." Toad squeaked out with a nervous look plastered on his face. "Guess what slime ball i failed my chemistry test, so what do you think that means for you?" Dunken questioned rhetorically with a grin.
"Oh, c-come on fellas...w-we don't have to take it out on me...w-wouldn't you prefer to kick a kitten or...or maybe punch an old lady?" The frightened teen offered shakily as he felt a hand snag the wallet that was in his pocket. One of the guys behind Dunken laughed, "yo frog you won't mind if i keep this will you?" his question sought no answer as he removed the money and dropped the wallet to the floor with disinterest before shoving the recently confiscated cash into his pocket. Dunken snickered slightly at the look on toad's face before throwing the mutant boy to the floor and giving him several hard kicks in the ribs, but as he brought his leg back for another crippling kick he was stopped mid motion by a girl who had just stepped in front of him.
This girl was a thin but curvy beauty with midnight black hair that was up in a slightly messy ponytail and had gray tips in it, her eyes were a lightning blue, and her skin was slightly tanned but not to an extreme amount, her nails were painted black and shimmered slightly from the top coat, she wore a form fitting black t-shirt with a little red devil on it that showed a small amount of her flat stomach, a pair of hip hugging blue jeans that were decorated with various doodles of dragons, tigers, and house cats along with signatures from several different people, a set of black gloves with blue lace going through in zigzag patterns, and finally a pair of black army boots with red laces that had little black hearts on them.
"What do you boys think you're doing?" she questioned, as she quirked a slender eyebrow in question. The football stars paused unable to reply for surprise that a girl had just stepped in front of them to prevent them from having their fun. Well, taking their hesitation as stupidity she crossed her arms over her chest in a huff, "well i suggest you dimwits knock it off and leave him alone before you regret it." She demanded as she narrowed her eyes and her usual blue flashed a golden color for a spilt second. But that split second was enough to disturb the three boys who quickly looked at each other to confirm what they had just seen before quickly turning an sprinting off in a fear they wouldn't admit to any time soon.
She sighed quietly before her attention snapped back to the matter at hand as she heard a groan of pain come from toad who was clutching his ribs, face down on the ground. She turned and knelt beside the pain stricken boy and gently grabbed him by the shoulders, helping him to sit up. "Hey, you ok?" She questioned noting the blood dripping from his mouth, she reached into her bag pulling out a tissue and handing it to him. "Yeah...thanks" was the mumbled reply as he wiped away the blood and crumpled the tissue, shoving it into his pocket. "Well that's good." she spoke standing and offering a hand to him with a smile. Toad grasped her hand and pulled himself to his feet. "The name's Jamie." She added in taking her hand back and placing it on her hip simply.
"Tod, but just call me toad." Was the reply making her stifle a laugh, "toad? Well that's new...but all right I call yea toad." Jamie stated making toad grin. "Any ways...thanks, really they coulda killed me." He stated nodding his head a few times, "Stupid brutes always messin with me, stole my cash and everything and it was the only money i had left...i needed that to eat lunch today, seriously first boom boom busts into the bathroom when I using it and now this, so not fair." toad mumbled to himself in irritation forcing another laugh from Jamie. "What's so funny?" Tod questioned sounding slightly annoyed as a sort of pouting expression covered his face. "You, I like you, you are very interesting." Was the reply making the toad-like mutant blink in confusion.
"So I make you a deal..." Jamie began as toad looked at her with his eyebrows raised in question, "I will buy you lunch everyday, and keep those jerks off your back if you promise to show me around and chill with me every once in a while." She finished her statement making toad's eyes widen slightly. "You serious? This aint some cruel sick joke is it?" Toad questioned his voice hopeful, "Yep...i never eat lunch at school so i always have extra money on me." she stated simply pulling a wallet from her pocket that had a gray and black tabby cat on it before grabbing a rolled up piece of paper from her bag.
"That is if you hold up your end of the bargain..." She spoke as she started unrolling the paper and showed it to him, showing it to be a school schedule. "See I new here and I very much lost." she explained with a smile, toad grabbed the schedule and took a look at it, "well all these classes are pretty close together so they shouldn't be hard to find once you're in the area, and you got your first class with me so...leave it to me." He boasted with a large grin plastered to his face. "Great!" Jamie exclaimed happily before opening her wallet and pulling out a five and handing it to him. "Here, this'll cover your lunch today, I give you another five tomorrow." she explained feeling quite happy at how excited toad seemed to be upon receiving it, as she shoved her wallet back into her pocket.
The two started walking toward their class and after a moment of silence, toad spoke up; "Hey why do you wanna do this stuff for me? You don't know me that well...we just met." his question made Jamie look at him and blink for a moment or two, "It's like i said before, you are very interesting and you seem like a really cool guy, so i want to be friends with you, and have the opportunity to talk more." She explained knowingly as they approached their class, "Well you're interesting too, to make Dunken run like that you gotta be something special." Toad stated snickering as he remembered Dunken's expression, before the grabbed the classroom door handle and opened the door only to be greeted by an angry teacher.
"Mr. Talansky late again i see! Why can't you ever get here on time?" the teacher demanded angrily his arms crossed in irritation. "Ah come on teach it's not my fault I..." Toad began to explain only to be cut off by his teacher, "I don't want to hear any excuses!" the chem teacher shouted angrily Jamie decided to break into the conversation, "No really it's not his fault, I held him up, it's my fault he was trying to explain where everything is to me." She stated making the teacher pause and look at her, seeming slightly skeptical but trusting none the less upon seeing the schedule in toad's hands. A sigh escaped the chem teacher as his eyes fell upon tod once more. "All right, you're off the hook for now, but don't be late again...and you may take a seat anywhere." he stated the last part in reference to Jamie. Both nodded as the teacher turned away and as they walked to grab seats toad whispered a quick, "Nice save." and in reply, Jamie nodded her head with a smile before they both plopped down into their chairs and the teacher continued his previously interrupted lecture.
