Shylow and Max were taking a walk off campus when they made it to the Westchester Coffee house. Shylow had seemed deep in thought all afternoon. Max was starting to worry he had been so caught up in the Jamie-Trinity business that he hadn't been paying much attention to the other.
When they order drinks and took a seat in the far corner of the shop, Shylow looked at his boyfriend with a stern look on his face. Max looked up into the dark sunglasses he wore in public despite the lack of eyes beneath and was nervous to find out why.
"I know what you and Trinity are going to do to Jamie and Clara, and I think you guys are making a really big mistake!" Shylow told the blonde with genuine concern in his voice, "What would you do if you get caught, you'll probably get expelled Max!" He added shaking his head after a moment.
"It's worth it Shy... he broke Trinity's heart!" Max replied taking a sip of his tea, doing his best to keep his voice level and calm.
"Or what about Jamie, He doesn't have anywhere to go!" Shylow added to his argument "His situation isn't like you and Trinity; he doesn't have a family who accepts him!" He continued, worried that the other wasn't going to see reason until it was too late.
Max blinked a couple of times then frowned.
"Honestly... I hadn't thought about that!" Max replied sighing lightly and looking out the window, "But Shy it's too late... Trinity and I snatched up the answers last night!" Max told him looking out at the people walking by on the sidewalk.
"Has Trinity already planted them in anybody's stuff yet?" Shylow asked the other standing up and putting his jacket back on.
Max shook his head quickly and jumped up, grabbing his jacket as he ran.
"If we hurry, I think I can beat her to Clara's room… we have to stop her!" He nearly shouted running briskly to the door.
Shylow quickly made his way to the door.
"Max wait up!" He shouted after the Phaser, who was hauling ass back to campus.

Phoebe, Blake, Trinity, and Ruby along with Kitty and Tabi were walking down the west wing on the first floor when three different hands stopped Trinity in her tracks.
Sitting at a table in the library, were Anna, Clara, Meradith, and Chastity.
"What is she doing with them, she knows I hate them!" Trinity whispered watching her little sister laugh and joke around with the three girls who had ruined her relationship.
"That's probably why, your sister is kind of a bitch!" Phoebe told her staring at the other group of girls.
Trinity looked over at her friend and rolled her eyes.
"What, she tried to KILL me!" Phoebe said rather loudly making the other girls look over at them with scowls on their face.
Ruby raised her hand up and waved awkwardly as she, Phoebe, Kitty, Tabi, and Blake started to turn around and find somewhere else to study. That was before they noticed that Trinity was walking toward the Professor's office. They all ran over to her and stopped her, giving her confused looks that all matched perfectly.
"Where are you going?" Blake asked her cautiously, looking from her roommate to the door.
She knew that Max and Trinity had a plan to burn Clara and Jamie for what they did, but if it was going to involve Professor X it was probably not going to end well.
"To tell the Professor something important!" was all she said as she rushed past them.
Just as she opened the door and the Professor as well as Wolverine and Beast saw her, Max came rushing up behind her.
"Professor before Trinity tells you what I did… I may as well just come out and say it... I phased into Beasts lab and stole the answers to the geometry test that our class is having on Friday..." Max began seeing Trinity look at him with wide eyes, "I took the answer key and copied it twice before I stuck one copy in Clara Montgomery's bag and the other inside of Jamie Maddroxs' Geometry book!" Max sputtered out before Trinity could stop him.
"And... why exactly did you do that Mr. Martin?" Beast asked as he and Wolverine looked at him with wide eyes.
The Professor was looking at he and Trinity as though he knew what was really happening, but he remained silent.
"Because Clara kissed Jamie... even though Jamie was dating Trinity and he didn't try to stop Clara..." The Phaser student told his three teachers, "I just wanted to get him back for hurting my best friend... and then I told Trinity that I saw them steal a paper from the office and she was gonna come up and report them... she didn't know it was actually me..." He finished looking down at the ground.
"Trinity if you would please leave us... we need to discuss Max's punishment..." Professor Xavier told the girl folding his hands on the top of his desk. Trinity looked at her friend, hands covering her mouth, but she nodded and walked away.

Blake was walking up to the doors of the nicest restaurant in Westchester. She was meeting Tony Stark there for dinner, and she was kind of nervous. When she stepped into the door Tony was standing there smirking at her. She rolled her eyes and walked over to him.
"How's it hangin' kiddo?" He asked with a hint of laughter in his voice.
Blake chuckled and held out her hand to him, he lifted it and kissed the top of it lightly. She rolled her eyes again and followed the hostess to a private booth in the back of the restaurant. They sat talking casually till their food arrived and that is when Blake thought she should bring up Pietro.
"I doubt my boyfriend would be happy if he saw us here... I really appreciate you taking me out though..." She told him sighing and smirking.
He shook his head and motioned away in response.
"Your boyfriend, gosh what will the neighbors think!" He told her with a fake gasp making her chuckled.
"I just wanted to check in on you… make sure you were holding up ok, after Bruce-y dinged you up pretty bad the other day!" Tony continued after a moment taking a drink smoothly.
"I'll be fine, what doesn't kill me is well… everything I guess!" She told him with a soft laugh.
"Wolverine know you have a boyfriend?" He asked her, making her roll her eyes.
"Technically yes…" She told him making him chuckle.
They continued to make casual small talk till their food came, He asked her how school was and if she had any good X-Men stories from recently. They exchanged a couple of good fight stories before they finished.
"It is WAY past my curfew!" She told him with a laugh.
He laughed lightly and nodded, giving her a smirk.
"I'll take you home!" He offered motioning to the sports car they had walked over to.
He sped them through the city and back to the gates of the school before she turned to him. She laid a hand on his arm and smirked before exiting the vehicle.
"See you around then, Iron Man!" She said softly and stepped into the gate.

Shylow and Kurt were sitting in the boy's wing sitting room with Jamie, Bobby, Phoebe, Tabitha, Blake, Ruby, and Kitty as well as Piotr, Jamie, and Evan.
Trinity was sitting nearby in the corner, tears silently slipping down her face. A few minutes later Max came walking up. The whole group stared at him with wide eyes as he started to relay his punishment.
"Professor X gave me an off-campus suspension... I get to come back after spring break..." He told them all quietly.
Shylow stared at him eye wide and mouth agape, making Max pull him into an embrace as he walked forward. They held each other for a few moments before Max pulled away and was hugged, bro-hugged and patted on the back by everybody in the room with the exception of Trinity who was sitting in the corner crying silently. When he had gotten to everyone he walked over to Trinity and pulled her close.
"It's gonna be ok… I'll be back, it's gonna be fine!" He told her repeatedly.
"I... I'm so sorry..." She told him as if she was ignoring what he had said.
"I know... it will be ok Trin, I'll be back in no time!" He reiterated smiling to which she nodded wiping her eyes.
She walked with him back to the group and noticed all the dirty looks she was getting especially from Bobby and Jamie. She said goodnight to Max and left before he and Shylow could announce that they were gonna go and pack up his things.
