"Everyone out." said Jean kindly as Scott parked the minivan in the small student parking lot.

Immediately the noise of the kids in the back started up again. Loud chatter and yelling; then the sound of the sliding door reached her ears and then the noise slowly died away.

Scott let out a defeated sigh and then rested his head on the steering wheel only to have the car horn go off, scaring him beyond reason.

"Scott, you shouldn't get so upset...you do remember that you will be diving this and with all the kids in the back next month when we take the field trip up to New York City." Jean said rubbing his shoulder soothingly.

He groaned in reply.

"Yes Jean I know..." He said with a sigh.

"Sooo..." Quill said to Mica as they walked through the bustling halls filled with other students and their conversations. "Where are we going again?"

"To the principle's office, so she can give you your homeroom and locker number." Mica replied sweetly.

"Oh..." He said and then began to space out.

Due to the fact he wasn't watching where he was going he ran into something, or someone that felt like a large rock.

"OW!" shouted an angry voice and then Quill found himself face to face with a much taller much bigger boy who was known as Duncan Matthews.

"You little punk!" Duncan said angrily as he picked Quill up by the collar of his burgundy shirt.

"Hey you big idiot, put me down!" Quill spat equally as angry.

Due to the fact that Quill was quite short in stature, only standing at five foot four inches and Duncan stood close to six foot, his feet dangled in midair as the Jock held onto him tightly.

"You better watch your mouth!" Duncan spat back.

"You don't know who you're dealing with!" Quill retorted, squirming against the older teens grip.

"Duncan! Put him down now!"

He turned away from the short teenager still in his grip to see a very angry sunflower haired Mica standing not two feet from him, glaring at him.

"If it isn't little miss Audrey Jones!" He said with a cruel grin and then dropped the tanned mutant to the floor who lost his balance and fell on his butt.

"You leave him alone!" Mica said and crossed her arms across her chest.

"I would expect a little outburst like that from Kitty or Rogue, but not from the mild mannered Miss Jones." Duncan said his cruel grin still plastered across his face.

Mica bent down and helped Quill to his feet and the teenage mutant glared at the Jock as he was helped to his feet.

"I've got five words for you and your girlfriend, Stay out of my way!" Duncan said with a glare.

"Well I've got two for you!" Quill stated holding up two fingers. "You Suck!"

"Why you little-" Duncan started when he was interrupted by a very angry group that consisted of Rogue, Kitty, Evan and Kurt.

"Like, mind your own business, Matthews!" Kitty said with her arms crossed firmly across her chest.

"Yeah, ya'll better hit tha road." Rogue added looking quite peeved.

"Unless you wanna deal with all of us!" Evan said pointing at himself.

"Ja!" Kurt said with a sly grin.

By now there was already a crowd of kids around the quarrelling group of teen's and they had began to chant 'fight, fight!' very softly and it was starting to grow in momentum.

"What is the meaning of this!" came a very annoyed sounding voice of authority.

The crowd of students immediately began to break apart; soon all were back to doing their normal morning routines except for the seven recently arguing teens that stood in the middle of the hallway.

Walking in powerful strides came Ms. Darkholme, the school principle with a very annoyed look on her face. She looked from Duncan to the group of six opposing students. That's when she spotted Quill.

"Mr. Maxwell Jordan...Do you really think picking a fight is the best way to start your first day of school?" She asked him calmly, in almost a sly sort of tone.

"But I didn't-" he started but then was cut off by a very angry Ms. Darkholme.

"Mr. Jordan! To my office right now!" she shouted and then pointed towards the door that on it's window read 'Principles Office.'

"But-"

"Now!"

Quill hung his head and trudged towards the door solemnly.

"All of you to your classrooms now!" The dark haired woman shouted at the crowd of students who immediately made a beeline for their homerooms.

Mica stood in her spot for but a minute, worried for her friends well being and then turned a walked slowly to her first period class.

"Alright Mr. Jordan..." Ms. Darkholme started as she took her seat at her large cherry wood desk that stood close to the large window, that overlooked the track field.

"Your locker will be next to Miss Audrey Jones and your homeroom will be Mr. McCoy's science class...are we clear?" said firmly and Quill nodded his head quickly before exciting the room.

"Hey locker buddy!"

Mica turned away from her open locker to see Quill smiling at her slyly.

"Quill!" Mica said joyfully and smiled brightly before giving him a friendly hug. "So what did she say?" she added while pulling away with a concerned look on her face.

"'Bout what?" Quill asked in curiosity.

"About the whole fight." Mica replied grabbing her blue science book from it's place on her locker organizer.

"Oh, that? Actually, she didn't say anything about that; she just gave me my locker and my homeroom." He replied looking at the small sheet of crumpled paper that had his locker combo written on it.

"Oh..." Mica said softly as she placed her hand on her locker door ready to close it.

"Hey Mica..." Quill asked softly.

"Yeah?" She replied looking over the side of her locker door to see him.

"I was kind of wondering, what are those silver lines on the corners of your eyes? The ones that run down either side of your face?" he asked looking up at her face curiously.

"These?" she said whiling running her finger tips over the silvery lines. "Their permanent lines of mica…I don't know why I have them to be honest…"

"Oh…Can I touch it?" He asked her sheepishly.

"You-you want to touch them?" Mica said with blush faint on her cheeks.

He shrugged and then hesitantly nodded.

"Well, alright I don't mind." She replied softly blushing horribly.

Hesitantly Quill lifted a rough hand and placed it gently on her cheek, and he watched as the beautiful mutant girl close her eyes slowly at his touch. Softly he ran his thumb over on of the silvery lines; he had half expected then to be cold as ice but was quite shocked to find out that they were warm.

Mica shivered at his touch and smiled softly.

"Man, Duncan really needs to cool his jets..." Evan said to a very annoyed Kitty who was walking beside him.

"Yeah, he needs to take a chill pill." Rogue commented and Kitty and Kurt nodded in agreement.

The group rounded the corner only to have Kitty yank them back behind the cement wall.

"What's ya'll problem?" Rogue hissed angrily at the brunette.

"Ja! What's up Kitty?" Kurt said in a concerned tone.

"Like, look around the corner, very carefully and then look straight ahead.

Slowly the trio looked around the corner and starred.

"Isn't that like the cutest thing ever!" Kitty squealed excitedly.

"Vhat the drinking fountain?" Kurt asked curiously.

"No, idiot! She means Quill and Mica!" said Rogue with very little patience.

"WE, like so have to get them together!" Kitty said to the Gothic mutant.

"Jeez you guys, do you really want to do that?" Evan questioned the two girls. "I mean they probably are just friends."

"No way!" the bubbly brunette replied.

"I'll never understand girls..." replied a very confused Evan.

"I second that..." Kurt agreed.

Quill slowly pulled his hand away from Mica's face and smiled.

"Those things are really cool!" he said with a grin.

"T-thank you." Mica replied almost at a loss for words.

The young teen opened his mouth to say something more when...

"DING, DING, DING"

"Uh-oh! We're gonna be late!" Mica cried slamming her locker door shut with a loud crash and then grabbed onto Quill's hand gently. "You don't wanna be late on your first day do you? Oh tarter sauce!"

Quill grinned at the blond in front of him dragging him through the hall, he hadn't noticed it before but when Mica got worried or uptight he could hear a slight New York accent in her voice; it was cute.

Suddenly she pulled him into a classroom just as the second bell rung.

"Made it just in time didn't you Miss Jones." came the pleasant voice of Mr. McCoy.

"Sorry sir!" Mica said apologetically, blushing with embarrassment.

"Oh, and who is your boyfriend?" he questioned, and then pointed to their hands which were still grasping onto one another.

Mica let out a sound that sounded very close to an 'Eep!' and then removed her hand from Quill's.

"My name's Q-" he started and then thought better of it. "Maxwell Jordan. I'm new here, and uh... we're not together..." he motioned towards the timid blond next to him.

"Well it's nice to meet you Maxwell. Your seat will be just behind Audrey here." Mr. McCoy said with a smile.

Science went by fairly well except for the occasional chemical mix up that occasionally led to a small explosion in the room, or the occasional drop of a beaker, in that case everyone in the room turned to the two lab partners in the back who most likely did it; Even and Kurt.

Then next class was English in which everyone had to do an oral report, which consisted of memorizing a poem and reciting to the class and then telling why they liked it.

First went Evan who tripped and stumbled over the words to his poem which was Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. And he said he liked it because it rhymed.

Duncan went next but everyone knew he had made up his poem. Kurt then went but his wasn't really a poem since it was Hey Diddle, Diddle. Kitty surprisingly recited the Walrus and the Carpenter, but of course added a few likes in between some words.

Finally it was Mica's turn and she hesitantly got up to the front and gulped, she was not good in front of audiences.

" You can do it Audrey!" Kitty called out from the back of the room and smiled and Rogue gave her an encouraging nod.

She took a deep breath and began to recite her poem.

"Winkin Blinkin and Nod one night sailed off in a wooden shoe, sailed on a river of crystal light into a sea of dew. Where are you going and what do you wish the old moon asked the three. We have come to fish for the herring fish that live in this beautiful sea, nets of silver and gold have we said Winkin Blinkin and Nod."

Mica paused for a moment to catch her breath and then she continued.

"The old moon laughed and sang a song as they rocked in the wooden shoe and the wind that speed them all night long ruffled the wave of dew. The little stars were the herring fish that lived in that beautiful sea, no cast your nets where ever you wish never afraid are we! so cried the stars to the fishermen three Winkin, Blinkin and Nod. All night long their nets they threw to the stars and the twinkling foam, then down from the skies came the wooden shoe carrying the fishermen home. Twas so pretty a sail it seemed as if it could not be, and some folks thought twas a dream they dreamed of sailing on that beautiful sea, but I shall name you the fishermen three, Winkin, Blinkin and Nod. Winkin and Blinkin are two little eyes and Nod is a little head and the wooden shoe that sailed the skies is a wee ones trundle bed. Now shut your eyes while mother sings of the wonderful sights that be and you shall see the beautiful things as you rock in the misty sea, where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three, Winkin, Blinkin and Nod."

Mica finished the poem with a sigh and then looked around the room and held her breath, did everyone hate it? Everyone was just staring at her.

"Miss Jones, that was beautiful!" the English teacher cried and gave the very timid girl a smile.

Finally it was launch and the group of gifted youngsters gathered at their usual table outside.

"It's like totally hot out today!" Kitty exclaimed as she sat down with her lunch.

Jean chuckled.

"Well it is June!" she told the brunette that was busily shielding her eyes from the sun.

"Ja! And I'll be happy vhen it's summer vacation!" Kurt said with a grin as he thought about relaxing over the summer.

"Ya'll remember our trip we're all takin to New York City." Rogue said while picking at her pizza.

"Yeah! that will be great!" Evan said happily. "What a way to spend the first week of summer vacation!"

Then Mica and Quill arrived at the table; Mica with her usual salad she had every day and Quill with two pieces of pizza.

"Mica we heard you did great on your oral report." Jean said as the blond sat down next to Kitty and with Quill on her other side.

"Yeah." she replied with a smile.

The table grew silent for a few moment and then Kitty piped up.

"Hey let's play the sentence game!"

"No..." Scott said glaring at the brunette.

"Oh, come on Scott it's fun!" Jean said happily.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"What's the sentence game?" Quill questioned.

"Just watch what the rest of us do!" Evan said.

Jean started the game off with something easy.

"I."

"Like." Rogue said.

"To." Evan said.

"Eat." Kurt said.

"Ice." Kitty said.

"Cream." Mica said

"Because." Quill said.

"It" Scott said in and annoyed tone.

"Tastes." Jean said and the cycle stared again.

"Good."

"Although!"

"Apple."

"Juice."

"Makes."

"Me."

"Want."

"To."

"Go."

"To."

"The."

"Bathroom!"

This little charade went on for the rest of the lunch period, cause laughter at the table or embarrassing situations that Kitty, Kurt and Even tried to put Mica our Scott in. They didn't dare do that to Rogue because they knew no good would come from it and then they'd be the one in the embarrassing predicament.

The day finally ended and the group of Xavier's students piled back into the minivan for the ride home.

Back at the mansion chaos ensued when Kurt brought down the Monopoly board and the time to pick which object the students would each be stared an all out war.

Both Kurt and Evan wanted to be the car. Quill chose the bag of money after battling Kitty for the Battle ship, which he lost. Rogue chose the dog because it was the first one she saw and Mica chose the horse and rider.

Kurt finally won the car and Evan chose the cannon instead.

After about twenty minutes Kitty sold Board Walk to Kurt; later he found out hardly anyone ever landed on it.

"Kitty, zhat is cheating!" Kurt shouted pointing a finger at her.

"Like no way! You and Evan joining your cash and places together that's cheating!" she retorted.

"That's why it's called Monopoly Kitty!" Evan said with a smirk.

Rogue rolled her eyes at the trio.

Mica was the person who liked to save her money and at that moment had the most, but only had four places. Quill was quite the opposite and was down to his last hundred and fifty dollars and owned all the railroads as well as the electric company and water works.

In the end Rogue won despite Evan and Kurt teaming up and Quill owning all the railroads. Mica had lost all her money by landing on all of Kurt and Evan's places the same with Quill and Kitty had to mortgage everything she had and Kurt and Even lost their money to Rogues places because she bought all the hotels.

"Time for bed guys! It's ten o'clock!" Jean shouted to the kids from the kitchen.

Kitty and Kurt ended up picking up the board because everyone else had left to their rooms faster then them.

Mica sighed as she lay down on her soft bed while Rogue angrily picked her mattress up of the floor from this morning. Kitty phased out of the bathroom in her usual pink pajamas and lay down on her bed.

"You seem to really like Quill." Kitty suddenly said with a giggle.

"H-he's a realty nice guy..." Mica said hesitantly unsure of what her friend was getting at.

"Yeah, you two would like totally make the cutest couple!" the brunette cried gleefully.

Mica blushed deep red.

"N-no we wouldn't! H-he can't possibly like me that way!" she stumbled over her words.

"Oh yes!" the brunette reassured her friend.

"Kitty leave her alone!" came Rogues annoyed voice as she turned out the light on her bedside table.

"Okay, Okay!" Like one sec!" she hissed and then turned back to Mica who was still beet red. "Alright this Saturday, we're like all going to be going out to the movies and the boys are like going to a baseball game, so what do you do? I'll tell you! we some how get you and Quill in the mansion all alone and like there you go!"

"Are ya'll sure that's a good idea." came Rogues voice from under her covers.

"Totally!" Kitty replied, grinning at her brilliant plan. "That sound good to you!" she then asked turning to the embarrassed blond.

All Mica could do was blush and nod her head.

"Great! Well, good night!" the brunette said before turning off her bedside light.

Mica turned off her light as well and slowly snuggled into the covers and sighed, she couldn't believe she was going to do this.
