Chapter 2

As we walked down the hall they made it so I was in the middle. There was an awkward silence. Bobby was the first to break it,

"So, Libby, Can I call you Libby?"

I answered him by saying, "What ever tickles your pickle."

This made them both laugh instantly, I laughed with them a little because I didn't want to look like an idiot to the people walking by.

"Okay Libby, what do you do? Your mutation I mean." He asked me this while trying to catch his breath, it took a while.

I didn't understand, I never thought it was that funny. I pulled out my custom made lighter. I was quite proud the design I made, it looks something like this:

I looked down at my hand that had fire molding around it. "I can create and control fire."

I was surprised I was actually starting to like them, even though Bobby was really the only one talking, but I would fix that.

"So," I Said to Rogue sitting down at a table, "What can you do?"

She looked at me for a moment, then looked up and smiled.

"Hey John, have fun?"

I turned around in my chair to find a boy no taller then about 5' 11", he had his brown hair gelled back and looked at me with brown eyes.

He looked back up at Bobby and Rogue and said a politely, "Who the hell is this?"

Rogue was first to answer. "John this is my new roommate Liberty."

"Pleasure." He said sitting down across from me.

"Oh no, the pleasures all mine." I said this sarcastically.

I could tell he knew by the way his face went when he looked at me. And when he didn't look away I thought he was waiting for something. So I stared back for a moment while Bobby and Rogue talked to each other pleasantly not realizing that I have a lunatic staring at me.

"You got a camera with you?" I said smiling politely, although I knew he could see right through it.

"No." he said with a fake smile in return.

"Aw, not that's just too damn bad isn't it? Because if you did I can assure you it would most definitely last longer." I said with a 'serious' face.

A smile went across his face "That's the best thing you can come up with?"

"It's all I have to come up with for you." I tilted my head to the side slightly. And as fast as my grin came, his left. i could tell we were all going to be best friends, I would hold on to this moment forever.
