Hey there guys! See, I told you it wouldn't be too long before I updated next. I want to give a special thank you to mselphabathropp109, who was the only one to review my last chapter. I've noticed that I haven't gotten that many reviews for this story, and surely not as many as I got in the beginning. And, hey, you know, that's fine. There are still people reading, and as long as people are enjoying it, I haven't got a problem to post more.

Also, I'm sorry that this chapter isn't as long...seeing as when I wrote it out, it was only a page long, I'm not surprised. I just wanted to leave you with a cliffhanger there. :)

So with all that said, I bring you chapter six of Scott's Adventures at the Xavier Mansion.

-FIRST CLASS-

Previously in First Class…

"Jean is a very powerful mutant, Scott," he explained, the twinkle gone from his eyes. "I do not know if even she knows the extent to which it can be used. And I believe it would be unwise to inform her." I opened my mouth to argue, but a single glance closed it. I silently nodded.

"But…that doesn't explain the haunted look in her eyes," I suddenly burst out. My voice toned down a few levels. "Whenever I'm with her…I feel something…something that I can't even explain."

"When she was a very young girl…" Xavier looked at me, still frowning. "Jean will tell you when she is ready. If she feels that she can trust you."

"She can trust me!" I said confidently, standing up straighter on impulse. "I…" My eyes widened as I realized what I had been about to tell the Professor.

I think I love her.

"Yes?" Professor Xavier's voice broke through my disconcerting thoughts and brought me back down to reality. I shook my head to clear it.

"Never mind," I muttered, sure that my face was turning a very violent shade of red. "I…I should go." And without another word, without looking back, I ran down the hall and stepped in the elevator that would take me back upstairs.

-FIRST CLASS-

The next afternoon, I gathered up what courage I felt inside my thin build and approached the room I knew to be Jean Grey's. My hand shaking, I softly knocked on the neatly polished wooden door. I took a deep breath as I heard footsteps cross the room, and as I expected, the girl with eyes that looked like emeralds and red hair that I could've mistaken for a fire opened the door. I swallowed, but forced a smile onto my face for her sake.

"Hey," she said quietly, taking my hand and leading me inside. She looked up at me, and without asking any questions Jean seemed to know that I wasn't okay. "Scott, what-" Her voice stopped short, and I realized how close we were to each other. I shrunk back, noticing how I (though I wasn't tall by any means) towered over her small frame. Clearing my throat to avoid what could officially be called an awkward silence, I stepped back a few feet.

"I'm sorry," I said, though I could feel my heart beating like it was out of control, just by standing near to her. "Jean…I should tell you something." I looked into her emerald irises that were filled with genuine worry and concern, something that I hadn't ever gotten much of before I was rescued from Three Mile Island. I think I took a step closer to her, only realizing that part later.

"What?" Her voice what slightly trembling, and she started to look away, but before she got the chance I lifted her chin up, if only with the gentlest of motions.

"I think you're right," I said. "Something else is going on here. I do believe you now. Maybe…maybe we could figure it out?"

"You believe me?" Jean asked, her beautiful eyes wide, as if she'd never heard the words before. And for a moment, if that, I was overcome with sadness for this girl that I barely knew. I didn't know anything about her, other than the fact that she was obviously here for a reason. Hell, I didn't even know what her power was. I knew she was strong, because she reeked of this sort of…ancient power. But how could that be a mutation?

"Yeah," I whispered, brushing my hand across her forehead, careful not to tangle my hands in that flowing hair. "I do." Jean tilted her head upwards, all the while keeping her mesmerizing eyes fixed upon the blue irises that were hidden behind my ruby glasses.

I slightly leaned down and before I could stop myself, before I could tell myself that I couldn't, I captured her soft lips in a simple kiss. She didn't protest, but as it continued, I just knew…that something was wrong. For a second, I was worried that I really was that bad at it. But I shrugged it off, for I noticed a few tears running down her pale cheeks, her thin body shaking. I gently touched her cheek and, as tenderly as a teenage boy can, wiped them away. Jean bit her lip, and in the next second, swiftly wrapped her arms around my waist, her head buried in my chest, as if scared that I was going to run away.

I carefully held her, my head placed softly on top of hers, my arms protectively around her shoulders. I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach…and in my heart. Something was seriously wrong with Jean Grey. She was hurt…deep inside. She was hurt, and I couldn't help her. Could I? It certainly didn't seem so.

"Scott," I heard her quite voice say, muffled by my shirt. It was so soft, that for a moment, I thought that I might've imagined it. She stood up straight and fixed her own sleeveless top that, in my opinion, enhanced the beauty that she clearly possessed. But I avoided looking, knowing that if I wanted her to trust me, to…love me, even…I couldn't afford it.

"What?"

"Scott," she repeated my name, her voice barely anything more than a shaky whisper. "I need to tell you something."

-FIRST CLASS-

Gah, the shortness of this almost disgusts me...I hate writing drabble-style things. I like to read long things, which my stories, except this one, generally are. :( So if you like short, then good...I hope you enjoyed this. If you're like me and like longer things...please try and find value in this story.

But hey! There was Jean and Scott's first kiss! Hope you enjoyed it...I'm not too sure about how it went. Please leave me a review to tell me how it went...if I get enough, I might even get another chapter up within the week! I love Spring Break.

Thanks, you guys!
