Chapter Two- Uneasy

"Your a freak" hissed the blue eyed blonde called Ginny as she pursed glossy pink lips into a grin. My dark hair blew around my pale face as I crossed my arms over my chest. I wanted her to just go away. I'd never done anything to her.

The two girls behind her only nodded as the brunet stated "My daddy says your daddys are gay."

"Yeeeah!" proclaimed the one standing beside her "I bet you like girls...probably a faggot just like your dads"

Narrowing her crystal blue eyes at me Ginny smirked. Stuffing her glove covered hands into the pockets of her white coat she wiped her blond ponytail around "Nobody wants you or your faggot family around here, so get lost, loser" Tears lined my dark eyes as my Dad's little green car pulled into the school parking lot.

"Lira, baby, hop in. We've gotta go pick up daddy...where's your brother?" I felt my heart skip a beat. Where was Collin?

"Hmmm" I hummed inside my head as someone knocked on the door. Pushing the sheets aside with my pale hand I tossed my legs over the side of the bed and stumbled across the room. Lazily gripping the hand I pulled the door open and stared into gentle eyes of a tan woman with gorgeous white hair.

"Are you Lira?" she asked in a raspy but sweet voice. I nodded in response to her question "You can call me Storm, It's so nice to meet you" I took her hand in mine and with a soft smile allowed the thought 'It's very nice to meet you to' flow from my mind to hers.

Her eyes lit up and she offered me a beautiful full lipped smile "How about you go get dressed for the day and we go for a walk around campus?" I nodded in response always ready to make a new friend. Opening the door all the way so she could come in I stripped out of my shirt and walked into the bathroom.

"Did you come here with anything?" Storm asked through the bathroom door as I shimmied out of my jeans. I knocked twice on the door for 'no' she must have understood because she said "I might have something you can wear or Rouge at the very least the two of you look to be about the same size, I'll be right back"

My head fell back and a sigh of comfort escaped my lips, no matter where I was, no matter how terrible the circumstance if I could take a hot shower the world was just a little bit brighter...I love the water, I love being cleaned, it's my own kind of haven. When my hair was wet and I let my head lull the ends of my hair would brush just above my pert rear. A full smile lit my expression as I lathered my body in axe soap. It smelled amazing and I couldn't care less if it was meant for a guy.

After washing my hair I stepped out and dried my wet skin with a towel. Wrapping it around my torso I opened the bathroom door timidly looking out through the crack to see Storm sitting on the bed, one leg elegantly crossed over the other with a small pile of clothes sitting beside her. "Here ya go" I smiled at her to say thank you and pulled the pile into my arms before walking back into the steam filled bathroom.

She'd brought me a full outfit, a pair of black panties and a matching bra, dark jeans with rips in the thighs, a tank top and a black hoodie. Perfect. Shimming into the panties and Slipped my arms into the straps of the bra and pushed my full ivory breasts into the C 36 cups and stepped into the jeans just before clasping it in the back.

The hoodie was a little baggy once I got it on but it didn't matter to me. Throwing my hair back into a messy bun I walked out of the bathroom leaving my towel on the wet floor. Storm smiled at me "You're looking much more relaxed now" she held out her hand for mind and I took it gently, walking out the door with her.

"You should know how excited me all are to have you here, we all look forward to watching you make progress and move on in life"

'Thank you, everyone has been very kind so far…' Then the look on Jean's face from yesterday flew back at me and before I could correct myself I thought 'Almost everyone'

"Hank did mention Jean being a bit rude, don't mind her, Lira. She's really very sweet but she and Logan had a thing once and so she gets a bit territorial sometimes"

I nodded finally understanding. As we walked around the perimeter of the school Storm asked "So what exactly made you want to come here?"

'I want to advance my mutation somehow and also I just wanted to feel safe again...'

"Your mutation isn't noticeable to the eye, how is it that you felt so unsafe?"

My fingers coiled tightly around hers 'My older brother...Collin' coming to a slow halt

I stared into her unreadable eyes. I allowed my mind to ease into a memory I would never be able to erase or be rid of….My feet thundered against the pavement as I raced around the parking lot. Wind moved through my dark hair as I rounded the building corner and ran into the school.

Every fiber of me wanted to scream for my brother but no audible sound came out. My ivory hand trembled as I pushed the door of our homeroom open. Bile rushed up my throat as my hands flew up over my mouth to contain it. Blood spilled from his battered head where it rested on my desk. On the floor by the leg was a shattered vase, taken from the teachers desk, shards swimming in spilled water with the petals of tiger lilies.

"Oh my god" Storms voice burst the memory into nothingness as her eyes filled with shimmering tears "Lira...I could see your memory…"

I nodded slowly and rested my cheek on her shoulder 'Now you see why I came here...my brother was always trying to protect me and he died for it...I just...want him to have died for someone who was worth it'

Storm clasped my face between frail tan hands and stared down at me "I'm sure you'll make him proud, Lira." a warm smile spread out on my lips as I looked up at her and she took me by the hand tugging me along the campus grounds.

My dark eyes started to scan the campus once more, beautiful by any standard and full of life even when no one was outside. Well except for one person. My eyes fell on the brooding figure of a muscular man. His grey eyes were intense and his posture god awful as he trudged his way toward the school.

Tugging on storms hand I looked in her direction 'Who's that?' I watched her whip her head in his direction as the corners of her mouth turned up just ever so slightly.

"Logan…"

'That's him?' I glanced one more time at my room mate.

Storm only nodded "Just be careful, things tend to break around him"

I glanced at her face and raised an eyebrow "Nothing" she shook her head "Lets get you to the professor so he can set you up with a schedule" I only nodded in response and followed with a soft smile glancing back at Logan over my shoulder as an uneasy feeling fell over me. He was a bit intimidating at first glance.
