Chapter 16 Too Good to Be True

Le POV

I walked down the street kicking rocks. Jean had ordered everyone to go outside the mansion while they operated was one way of putting it. I was glad my mother had her memory back, but now my twin was being operated on. Ain't life so perfect? I crossed the street not really paying attention and sighed.

"Hey! Look out' I looked up and saw a boy across the street. I blinked and he disappeared, and then re-appeared in front of me. Before I could say anything we were in a forest and a loud crash echoed behind us.

"How did you…" I trailed off and stared at him. He had blue eyes and messy black hair.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you" he apologized quietly.

"It's cool. I can too. I mean I can do what you did. I mean… I'm Alecandra" I said stupidly. Ugh, now I know what Edward and Bella felt like when they first started liking each other. "You can call me Lec"

"My name's Daniel, but I prefer Danny" he smiled. Phew, he didn't notice me being an idiot. Wait a sec! Why do I care if he noticed if I was being stupid or not? I mean, he's just a guy right? Right? "Alecandra, that's Greek, right"

"Yeah. But I'm not"

"Nice. I think it's cool when your name is from a different country then the one you were born in"

"Really? Cause my twin's name is Italian and my eldest sister's name is Japanese"

"That's cool" Danny said "So you're a mutant"

"Yup. I can teleport, read minds, and copy other people's powers"

"Seriously? You are so lucky. All I can do is fly, tell when other mutants are around, walk through walls and teleport"

"What? You can't be serious"

"Definitely serious. And whenever I use my powers my hair turns white while my eyes glow green"

"Whoa. You must be Level 6"

"Yup. What about you"

"Level 5. Though my twin and mom are Level 6"

"How are you Level 5, but your twin Level 6?"

"I'd rather not say" I murmured. I hated thinking about how Bella was a level above me, because of something that could hurt someone… but mostly herself. Taking in my expression, he shook his head.

"I understand. Something's are better left in the dark. …If you ever need to talk about it… I'll listen"

"Uh, thanks Danny. That would be nice"

"No problem. So what'cha wanna talk about." he asked.

We ended up talking about the whole time for hours. I hadn't even realized we had entered the park. It was actually pretty late and the sun was starting to set. It was beautiful.

"It's getting pretty late" I murmured absent mindedly. I really didn't wanna leave Danny, but I knew Scott would freak if I didn't come back on time.

"Yeah and I have school next week" he sighed. It sounded like he didn't want to leave either. Wait a minute… he said he had school next week? I wonder…

"Where are you going?"

"Forks High" he groaned making a gagging noise. "I mean, seriously? Who names a town after an eating utensil?"

"I have no clue. But hey! It won't be so bad"

"How so"

"I go there"

"Really" he asked "You better not be joking"

"I'm not. My twin and I go there with some of our friends"

"Yes! So this won't be as much as an epic failure"

"Well it can still be an epic failure. Take them for example" I grimaced pointing to the Brotherhood.

"You mean Lance and the guys"

"What do you mean 'lance and the guys? You know them" There was no way! It couldn't be possible! He was way too good of a guy to be with them!

"Yeah, I live with them"

"Sup Danny! Hey X-Geek" Toad said hopping up to us. Danny blinked and stared at me in surprise.

"Whoa, wait… you're with them"

"Yeah, I am. Though I don't see what your deal is. You live with 'America's Most Wanted'"

"Hey! We take the law under careful consideration, yo"

"Toad, shut up." Danny growled "I can't believe you're with them! We deserve our rights"

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can go and wreck stuff" I protested "You know what? Forget it…. I knew you were too good to be true" I ran off ignoring Danny call my name and headed straight to the Institute.
