New chapter! I love this story.
Comet continued to stare at the X-Men, wondering how this school could have three (three!) gangs. Suddenly, the blonde X-Men, Jamie, looked up. At the X-Men's table, Jamie was talking to her friends when she felt eyes on her. Jamie looked up and over to the table at which the Acolyte's sat at and found the source of the feeling. It came from a new girl, a brunette with tan skin. "Jamie? Who's that girl staring at you?" Jean asked, leaning across the table to ask her friend. "I don't know." Jamie said, "I think she's one of the new students we got." "I know the one got in a fight with Johann Schmidt." Bobby said, "He like picked Johann up like he was nothing."
"Seriously?" Piotr asked, looking at the younger boy. "Yeah...that's the boy." Bobby said as Ben walked in, looking like a giant and scary mountain. The moment Ben walked in, the lunchroom fell silent, not knowing anything about the new student. Ben looked around the lunchroom, looking for a place to sit for lunch. Everywhere he looked though, people flinched away from him, scared of what he did to Johann Schmidt and scared of what he could do to them. Comet looked up and saw her brother and waved him over, and he came to sit with her. "Guys, this is my brother, Ben. Ben, this is my friend Jillian, her brothers Trevor and Seth, and Seth's girlfriend Bobbi." Comet said as he brother sat next to her. "Hi." Ben said quietly. The Acolytes nodded.
The X-Men looked around the lunchroom before rising and leaving the lunchroom. "What are we doing now?" Bobby asked. "Let's go. We don't need to stay here anymore." Scott said, signing himself (and the others) out and leaving the school grounds.
At the end of the day, Comet was putting away her books and stuff when she realized something. The X-Men had totally skipped the rest of their classes. "Hey Jillian...where did the X-Men go?" Comet asked, looking at the older student. Jillian shrugged, "They skip classes sometimes." "Why?" "Who knows. They just do." Jillian said with another shrug. "Okay." Comet nodded and picked up her backpack. "So...you wanna hang out later?" Jillian asked. Comet hesitated, "I don't know...I don't know if my mom wants me home right after school or not."
"Well...there's a party later tonight, Tony Stark is throwing it." Jillian said, "You and your brother are both invited. See if you can come, it'll be fun." Comet hesitated then nodded, "I'll see, maybe we'll be there if we can make it." Jillian nodded and went to find her brothers while Comet jogged up to a waiting Ben. "Sorry about that...let's go." She said. Comet followed Ben and they waited for their mother outside of the school. "So...there's a party tonight. We should go." Comet said. "You want to go to a party? A school party?" Ben asked incredulously. Comet shrugged, "Jillian invited me, and I think we should go. It sounds like a fun idea, I mean we might get to make some new friends...until we move again." Comet said. Ben stared at his sister, "Fine...but I'm only going to keep an eye on you." Comet grinned and hugged her brother, "Thank you!"
That night, Comet and Ben left their house and went to the party. Comet entered first, met right with Jillian when she walked in. "Hey! You made it!" Jillian said happily. "Yeah...and Ben's here to 'keep an eye on me'." Comet said. Jillian smiled, "That's perfectly fine...this is Tony Stark." She motioned to the dark haired genius. "Hey." Stark smiled flirtatiously. "Stark! Don't flirt with her." A tall, blonde, muscular teenager said, walking up with a beautiful red haired woman on her arm. "Steve Rogers" Steve introduced, "And this is Natasha Romanoff, my girlfriend." "Nice to meet you...I'm Comet." Comet said quietly. "Nice to meet you." Steve said as the door opened and a voice yelled out, "The party has arrived!" Comet tuned around to see a handsome teenager with blond-brown hair and a smirk on his face. With him was a blonde girl and a scrawny boy with black hair. She recognized the scrawny boy as the one Ben saved, Reed., and the blonde girl as Reed's girlfriend, Sue, and the younger boy as Johnny, Sue's brother.
"Oh...hey...you're that girl that's the sister of that boy that totally saved Reed's a** aren't you?" Johnny asked, noticing Comet. "She is...now bug off." Jillian said, grabbing her friend by the arm and pulling her away. "Who was that?" Comet asked once they were far enough away. "Johnny Storm...one of the biggest players in the school despite only be a sophomore." Jillian said.
Johnny huffed and went off with his sister and her boyfriend while Tony stayed at the door. A few moments later, the door swung open to reveal the X-Men as they walked in. Just like at lunch, the whole room stopped and turned dead quiet as the group walked in. "Glad you could make it." Stark said, clapping Scott on the back. Scott nodded silently as the others drifted away to party. Comet was talking with Jillian when she noticed that the girl from the X-Men, Jamie, was talking to some boy. "Who's that boy that Jamie is talking to?" Comet asked Jillian. Jillian looked up and found who Comet was talking about. "That's Victor Von Doom."
Comet nodded and the conversation stopped. A little while later, Comet had noticed that Jamie had seemingly left the party, even though her group was still there. Comet frowned and looked around before finally spying Jamie through a window. She was outside, smoking a cigarette. Comet slowly and quietly made her way outside, going to stand next to Jamie. "Can I have one?" Comet asked, looking at the pack of cigarettes sticking out of Jamie's shirt pocket. Jamie looked up, almost surprised.
Jamie nodded, "Sure." She pulled a cigarette out and lit it before handing it to Comet. "Thanks." Comet said. Comet took a drawl of the cigarette before breathing it out. "I'm Comet." She introduced. "Jamie." Jamie muttered in response. The two fell into silence, not saying anything. Comet eventually noticed something on Jamie, two somethings actually. On Jamie's neck was a tattoo of a snowflake, as was one on her wrist. "What do the snowflakes symbolize?" Comet asked curiously.
Jamie finished her cigarette and looked at Comet, "Don't tell anyone we talked." She said. "Why not?" Comet asked instinctively. Jamie snorted, "HYDRA would freak if they found out. So don't tell anyone." Comet nodded, "Okay."
