A/N: Hi again, so last chapter was really short and I didn't really tell much about October (plus I made some mistakes, but fixed them), so I tried to make this one longer and write more about October and her past.

Also more characters will be introduced. And I know Pixie is not in the X-Men films but I didn't want October's roommate to be Rogue, Kitty, or Jubilee (not that I have anything against them), because in my opinion it's been over used and decided to use a different Marvel character to make it more original.

Rated T: For language, violence, and some sexual content (nothing explicit).

Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men or any Marvel characters. Only my OC.

...

It had been almost a week since she was pulled out of foster care, almost a week since she arrived at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and almost a week since she started calling it home.

When she first came to the school, she thought it would be like the foster home, that she would be alone and ultimately come to hate it. But she didn't, of course a lot of the other students were annoying and loud but there were some peaceful places that she could go to, like the library or the roof (one of her favorite spots).

October sighed and looked out the window, trying desperately to ignore the other students in the dining hall and Pixie, who was chatting cheerfully to an attractive looking guy around their age. It wasn't unusual for a male student to randomly come up and mindlessly flirt with Pixie, and of course Pixie thought nothing of it and would immediately start talking their ear off. While October stood there awkwardly like a third-wheel.

When she first met Pixie, October immediately thought she was going to hate her. And at first she did, for two days, Pixie did nothing but talk and talk. October thought she was going to go insane and was going to ask the Professor for a new roommate, but on her way down the hall saw a crying Pixie.

October stood there for a while debating on whether or not she should ask what's wrong, not that she would know what to say or know how to comfort her in anyway (it's not like she had friends to do that with). But she did it anyways, why you may ask? She didn't know either.

"What's wrong?" she had asked cautiously, warily stepping towards her.

Pixie looked up with a tear-streaked red face, a pang of guilt suddenly hit her in the gut without warning and she wondered why but continued to inch forward. And almost instantly Pixie started crying all over again, which October cringed at.

But she ended up sitting down next to her and awkwardly started patting her hair. October almost let out a surprised yelp when Pixie flung herself at October, her face buried in her chest and arms wrapped tightly (almost threateningly so), while October's arms still hang in the air. Cautiously she let her left arm down and lay comfortingly on her back that racked with sobs, while her right hand stroked her hair soothingly.

After about half an hour later, Pixie stopped crying but still sniffled and looked at October with possibly the brightest smile she had ever seen (tears still in her eyes).

"October, you're the bestest friend I've ever had." She had said with the most sincerity she had ever heard her use, and again threw her arms around her.

October was shocked; she had never had a friend before, even an acquaintance. But October also realized that she didn't mind having Pixie as her friend, sure she was loud and annoying most of the time, but she at least took the time to actually talk to her and try to know her. She felt guilty again, but this time for pushing her away when all Pixie wanted to do was be friend her friend.

Slowly but surely, October returned her embrace.

…

October sighed again and pushed the horribly gushy memory away and continued to stare out the window, trying to relax.

Of course it didn't last long.

"Man, I really wish we could sit at the cool table!" Pixie whined and pouted.

October glanced at the supposed 'cool table' that was in the center of the whole room. It consisted of Bobby Drake, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Jubilation Lee or Jubilee, Piotr Rasputin, and John Allerdyce. October rolled her eyes, who knew there could be a 'cool table' at a school for Mutants.

"Who said it was the 'cool table'." October muttered. She really was curious.

It was Pixie's turn to roll her eyes "First of all, it's the table in the center of the room, it screams attention. Second they're all extremely good looking." She winks,"And third, they all have kick-ass powers!" She practically cheered and fist pumped into the air (you see that imagine in your head? It's exactly like that.)

October scoffed, so what if they were all popular, did it really matter in a school full of Mutants? She started listing off the things she knew about all of them.

Bobby Drake and Rogue (she's pretty sure that's not her real name), are dating, she found it must be difficult considering Rogue can literally with one touch. Suck the life right out of you. And she knew Bobby had the ability to freeze things, and that he was Mr. Perfect.

Kitty Pryde was as energetic and chatty as Pixie and had an obvious crush on Bobby Drake, but is also rumored to have a thing for Piotr. And she could walk through walls (October knows this from personal experience).

Piotr Rasputin is a huge guy with muscles the size of basketballs, but is a shy and calm guy from what she's seen, and is a very talented artist. Also having the ability to cover himself in metal.

Jubilee (she used her name once, not using it again) from what she heard is nice but can also be somewhat snotty, and always dresses in the brightest colors imaginable. And can create fireworks or something like that (she can't remember).

And last but not least John Allerdyce, supposed bad boy and asshole, who has a temper and ego to match. And from the lighter he flicks in class and flames he uses for intimidation, he can manipulate fire (but from what she hears, can't create it).

But most of those are rumors or things she heard from other students, she really doesn't like to dwell too much on it though.

"That's it I can't take it anymore! We're going to sit at that table if it's the last thing I do!" Pixie exclaimed, grabbing her tray of food and October's arm with a firm grip (the girl had a bone crushing grip).

Before she tore October from the table she was seated at, she grabbed her own tray (which she still had yet to eat), and let her drag her along. Of course she was perfectly content sitting at the previous table in the corner next the window, but she also wasn't going to sit anywhere without Pixie. And as crazy as that sounds considering she didn't always want to be near her, the feeling of her being with the 'cool table' almost made October feel a little jealous.

And before she knew it, six pairs of eyes were staring at the beaming Pixie and the slightly irritated and uncomfortable October.

"Hi, I'm Pixie and this is my friend October, we were wondering if we could sit with you."

October really wanted to tell her to drop the 'We'.

…

So as I said before, I tried to make it longer but also wanted the next chapter to be the chapter that October would interact with the characters, and get more into life at the mansion. So I hope you guys liked it and please review(:
