Crona kept her head buried down as she read her manga. Some of her class mates had finished their test, but she felt their eyes on her. She hated that. She hated when people eyed her like a piece of meat.

`come bell, ring already!` she begged. Her prayers were answered when the loud bell finally rang. She quickly grabbed her bag and left the class heading for her next class.

Today was going to be tough for her

(in the hall before the lunch bell)

"so you got a new girl in your science class?" Kurt asked Evan.

"yeah. She's a little weird though. She didn't speak to anyone in class after we finished our test. But I'm gonna invite her to sit with us at lunch" he explained

"Ja that is a good idea. I can't wait too…"

BAM

Kurt fell back on the floor as did the one who bashed into him. He rubbed his head and sat up "ouch" he groaned

"Crona? You alright?" Evan asked. Kurt looked up and saw a girl with black and pink hair `zat must be Crona` he thought. Evan helped the girl up then proceeded to help Kurt "Sorry…" Crona said quietly

Kurt smiled "It's ok. I'm Kurt. Evan told me about you" he said. Crona shyly looked away.

"Hey Crona, do you wanna sit with us and our friends for lunch? Since you don't know anyone else around here" Evan asked. Crona looked at him for a moment but nodded. They led her to the cafeteria and let her get her lunch. Crona lifted her tray and began to walk away, until someone huge blocked her way. She looked up to see a very big guy with a blond mohok wearing dungarees and a grey t-shirt underneath. She tried to get around him but someone else blocked her way "Where you goin newbie? He asked with a smirk. He had white hair that was slicked back and a cocky smile, a green looking guy stood next to him.

"please let me pass" she asked quietly

"without letting us get to know you first? That hurts newbie" another guy jumped in.

Crona recognised him as Lance from science and she didn't want to be near him "please just let me by" she said again trying to get around him and the other two. But they would let her by "come on cutie, come hang out with us huh?" the white haired one said wrapping an arm around her. She removed it "I-I-I mean it! Go away!" she said.

Lance closed in on her "no one talks to us like that newbie. For that your gonna pay" he said smirking.

"Back off Lance!"

Lance turned to see Kurt and Evan with Scott standing in the middle. Kurt walked over and led Crona away from the small gang and outside.

"Wh-Wh-Who are those guys?" she asked

"zey are just a bunch of jerks. You know Lance from science I take it but the big one is Fred, the white haired one is Pietro and the green one is Todd. Stay clear of zem ok"

Crona nodded. He led her to a table that had more people there and Scott and Evan were coming back from the cafeteria. Crona began to feel a little uncomfortable about being around alot of people.

Kurt began to point out who everyone was "Ok that's Jean, Kitty, Rogue, Scott, you know Evan and lastly me" he said with a grin. Crona shakingly smiled and sat down. Jean held out her hand "it's really nice to meet you Crona. I'm sure we'll be good friends" she said cheerfully.

Now one thing Crona didn't like most was cheerful people. It made her very uncomfortable because she was so cheerful.

Jean waited for her to shake her hand but she just stared at her. `weird girl` she thought drawing her hand back. Crona suddenly stood "excuse me" she mumbled, grabbing her lunch and walking away. The small gang blinked "that was like, really weird" Kitty said. Kurt stood up "She's probably just a little shy. I'll go talk to her" he said walking in the direction Crona went.

(Crona)

Crona found an abandoned part of the school and sat against the wall. She looked to her left, then looked to her right to make sure that no one was around. She broke up some of her sandwich and left it on her plate.

"Ok Ragnarok it's safe" she whispered. Her back buldged up a bit and out came a little black and white demon thing. "Bout time kid! I'm starving!" he said loudly.

"Shhh! Quiet! Do you want any non mutants to see us!" she harshly whispered throwing a bit of a sandwich to him. He caught it in his mouth and chewed "sorry kiddo. Forgot your goin to regular school again" he said, swallowing his food. Crona fed him more gradually.

"Did you see those people I was with?" she asked. Ragnarok nodded "yup. Why didn't you stay?"

Crona glared into space "The red head…she was too cheery. She reminded me of her" she said venomously

"ah yeah, the traitor" Ragnarok remembered bashing his round hands together. Crona sighed "We need to be careful around here Ragnarok. There might be haters around here too" she mumbled tossing more food to him.

"Yeah. We can't trust anyone around here…not after what happened before"

Crona nodded and stood up "When schools over I'll get some chocolate for us, na?" she asked

Ragnarok punched his hand in the air "wahoo!" he cheered

(Kurt)

Kurt made his way round the back of the school, knowing Crona was there "Wahoo!"

He stopped and rose an eyebrow "Vat was zat?" he mumbled. He peeked round the corner and gasped. Crona was standing with a little black demon thing on her back `GAH! She's a mutant!` he yelled in his head before bamfing away to tell the others.
