Thank you so much for reading and reviewing you guys! I really appreciate it and will take every review into consideration, which means this will be longer and I will take my time proofreading. With this, I will edit the first chapter this week so that it's easier to read. Thank you for reading!

I do not own X-men, Marvel or any Marvel characters.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

|Chapter Two – Friends|

(Arryn's POV)

The front school door opens slowly and they hear a stern woman's voice behind them, "I see that you are late again, Maximoff and you dragged Ms. Broker with you."

Arryn looks to the side, leans toward Peter and whispers to him "I'm guessing this isn't the first time you've run into trouble"

Peter whispers back, "Don't worry just act cool, I got this." Arryn glared at him, 'I doubt it…' she thought to herself and then looks at her to see that it was her teacher, her science teacher to be specific.

Ms. Aquilla, a tall, blonde and perfectly built woman who constantly was on Arryn's ass. Not that Arryn has a problem with her, just seems a little overbearing at times, like giving Arryn extra homework, assignments, and attention. Arryn assumes it's because she's the only one in the class that actually tries to learn without any outside help from expensive tutors, plus she's the only African American in honors.

Arryn slides her tinted glasses up slightly to get a better look at her teacher and says nervously, "Hey, Ms. Aquilla."

Ms. Aquila looks down at Arryn with her blonde hair in front of her blue eyes and then Peter stands up from his seat on the steps coming to about a few inches shorter than the teacher to tell her his excuse, "Well, sorry that we are late Ms. Aquilla, I was just joining Arryn, uh, walking to school but we ran into an old lady carrying a ton of groceries so…"

Ms. Aquilla holds up her hand in front of her to stop Peter from talking and sternly says, "Save it, Maximoff. You two are late and so you two will have detention"

Peter sighs loudly and Arryn looks defeated then pushes herself up to stand.

Peter grabs his stomach and groans out, "You know I'm not feeling well. I don't think I'll make it to detention, I think I may have a stomachache"

Ms. Aquilla looks over at him and says "Alright then, you can serve it tomorrow or the next day."

Peter laughs and nervously replies "Well maybe, I'll get over it by this afternoon after all."

Ms. Aquilla hands both Arryn and Peter tardy slips. Arryn sees that it was just an hour after school and breathes out in relieve and thought 'At least I can get to work on time.'

' Ms. Aquilla steps to the side and leaves the door open for the two students to walk through, "Now you go to class before you miss anything important" she says with agitation in her voice.

Arryn and Peter walked beside each other to get to their classes, Arryn suddenly punches Peter's arm causing him to wince and say, "Ow, what was that for?" He looks down at Arryn with a confused expression.

"That was not handling the situation well. Helping an old lady with groceries, really? And you were going to try to save your own ass in the end?" She answers and looks at him with annoyance while he looks back with amusement then says, "You know you hit pretty hard for a girl, especially a nerdy one." Arryn scuffs and says, "Next time you say you got this don't just save you."

Arryn looks at his blue eyes and turns around furiously to the left hallway to get to class. Peter yells at her with both hands around his mouth "So, there will be a next time!?"

Arryn gets embarrassed and rushes down the hall.'Idiot!'

She walks to class and looks over at Peter's direction and sees him speed off to the side door of the school. 'So, he is teleporting? How is he able to do that? ' Arryn suddenly remembers the vision of the man on the television. 'Maybe, he's a mutant like me?' She began to pick up the pace toward her first class. 'Maybe, I shouldn't dwell on it too much. He could be bad news.'

Arryn enters the classroom and gives the teacher the tardy slip that was handed to her; he nods for her to take her seat. Arryn goes to her seat second row from the door, which she does for all of her classes so that she's away from the light from the windows and she could leave class as quickly as she can. She opens her notebook to get ready to take her notes.

The first 3 periods went by with no problem until she was walking down the lunchroom in her fourth period, where she was bombarded by the Kleinstock Brothers, and the two most annoying people in school who constantly harassed her. They are twin brothers, Harlan, and Sven, a pair of tall, dark and handsome fellows that think they could do and have whatever they want. Sven was the bigger and younger brother who constantly was in the gym exercising for whatever wrestling match while his older, smaller brother was in baseball and constantly had women around him. They have an older brother Eric who was quiet and didn't really bother Arryn just, ignored whatever his brothers were doing to her. He wasn't any help, but he never said anything to his brothers, at times he looked at her in sorrow.

The bigger of the two, Sven tried grabbed the back of her leather jacket, but Arryn saw him in time and attempted to avoid him, but the smaller brother grabbed her arm quickly."Heh, where you think you're going?" Harlan spoke quietly so that only she could hear him.

Arryn struggled against him, then snatched her arm away. She answered in an annoyed tone "To the lunch room." Sven crosses his arms and answers her smugly "Not until you pay the toll." Harlan holds out is free hand and makes a beckoning motion implying for her to give him the money.

"You guys are really going to steal money from a girl, are you that broke?" Arryn says sarcastically with a smirk.

Harlan laughs and pushes her against the wall behind her by her shoulder while his brother does the same thing with her other shoulder. "No, really, we just love to bother you and plus we don't really want to use our money for the shit food here," He says with anger in his voice.

Arryn doesn't struggle to know that they'll just get even angrier, but she didn't want to give her hard earned money to them. Arryn thinks deeply, trying to find a way out of the situation. She looks forward and gasps out "Is that Brittany Stevenson making out with Jim Walker?"

They both let go of her and turn to see what she was talking about. Arryn took this chance to escape and bolted to the cafeteria. She sneaks around the entrance and hid behind one of the pillars in the corner of the room. A few students looks at her strangely but ignores her. She sees the Kleinstock brothers walk in, "Where did she go?" the younger on asks. "I don't see her." The older twin replies then scuffs, "Whatever we'll look around later." Arryn sees that they walked out of the cafeteria, she lets out a breath.

A voice comes from behind her,"Wow, that was close!"

Arryn turns around and sees the silver-haired kid from the morning, "H-how did you find me?"

He laughs at her question, "Well, it's not hard to find you."

She eyes him suspiciously, "Alright. Well, see yah, Peter"

Peter grins widely at her and says "Uhh Arryn right?" Arryn glared at him and turns to walk away without a word.

Peter jogs towards her until he was beside her, "Of course, it's Arryn. Sorry, I'm better with faces than names." Arryn continues to walk to the lunch line, Peter continue to talk to her, "So I saw what happened between you and the Kleinstock Brothers that was pretty clever."

Arryn shrugged her shoulders and casually answers, "With all the gossip around here it's easy to know what would tick Harlan off and Sven always follow his lead."

Peter laughs lightly and asks "So, how did you know that Sven was coming up behind you, I know he's a big guy but he was completely out of your sight"

Arryn tenses up and hurriedly answers, "Well his breathing was so loud I could hear him 20 feet away."

Arryn grabs a food tray so does Peter as he laughs at her excuse then comments, "I guess he is a loud mouth breather."

Arryn grabs a sandwich and an apple from the food bar while Peter grabs a pizza, cheese sticks, and a Twinkie.

Arryn looks over at his plate and stifles a laugh. Peter hears her laugh and asks "What?"

Arryn replies "Your plate looks horrible, you know you're gonna end up as a fat, middle age guy with silver hair, right?"

Peter looks at her with amusement and answers, "I won't, I exercise every day!"

They both pay for their food and head toward a table that is away from the large windows in the lunch room, Arryn smirks at him and says "Whatever, it's better to eat healthier AND exercise."

Suddenly Arryn sees her apple and Peter's Twinkie getting switched, she turns her head and looks at him questionably then asks "What just…"

Peter sits down at a table and looks questionably at her "What just what?"

She eyes him suspiciously and thought 'He used his powers again, it's not teleportation, it's speed...' but then answers quickly, "Nothing, I thought I saw something."

Peter begins to eat his pizza, not gracefully either. He asks while food in his mouth "You know Arryn, I like you even with the whole nerdy, eyes burn in the sun kinda stuff"

Arryn looks at him with annoyance and said, "Gee thanks…" She takes a bite of her sandwich. Peter seemed to be already done with his pizza and cheese sticks and curiously asks "So, do you have any other nerdy friends?"

She lightly frowns and softly says, "No, not really…"

Peter looks taken back and awkwardly says "Oh…" he then begins to smile brightly "Well, I don't really have any either! I guess my personality is too much for people."

Arryn smiles and looks up at him then says sarcastically, "Yeah, that's it."

"But seriously, I just get bored with people. They always do the most boring things." Peter began to lean forward, "But you seem to always run into trouble, lately."

Arryn shakes her head, "Not, until recently. Also me not having a single friend is an example how boring I am. "

He watches as her as she finishes the red apple and replies with a grin slightly,"Quite the opposite, it shows that you are too weird for them, and weird is interesting."

Arryn chuckles quietly at his conclusion and asks,"So I'm weird now?"

"Yes, but I am too. We make a good pair don't we?" His grin becomes a smile, "Us weird people should stick together, right?"

Arryn smiles back, "I guess.."

Suddenly Peter offers his hand out to her and asks "So, Friends?"

Arryn eyes his hands and finally shakes it and answers, "Friends."

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing you guys! I look at all the reviews and took all of your suggestions so I can write better! How do you guys like Arryn so far? Do you guys think the Brothers are annoying as she does?

Btw Ms. Aquilla is Magma and the Kleinstock Brothers from the Xmen comics, even though they weren't in the movie and their appearances may be out of order but hey Mo' Mutants mo' conflict, right?

Please review guys it really helps me keep going and improving!
