Mind and Lily

Busted

BANG BANG BANG. That's what woke me up when my alarm clock couldn't. As it turns out, Derek and I had stayed up until around 1:30 in the morning. I'm supposed to wake up to get ready for classes at 6:30. Yeah, so let's just say I was a little tired and grumpy.

I groggily went to the door to see Danny standing there with a frantic face. "Did you JUST get up," he shouted.

I groaned and replied, "Yeah, don't shout so loud, I have a headache." It wasn't until I looked at my clock and saw the numbers 7:45 that I finally woke up. I shouted, "Oh crap," then slammed the door in Danny's face.

It's a five minute walk from my room to my first class, so I really only had ten minutes to get ready. I was so focused that I was actually able to move my black "The Fray" t-shirt, jeans, and purple converse onto my bed with my mind while brushing my teeth and washing my face. After I put some eyeliner on, I was out the door and off to history.

I had made it to history just in time for class to start. As I sat down though, Storm gave me a warning look and started class.

When I walked into chemistry I saw Finn at Hope and I's desk. I quickened my pace and walked over. "Hey, what are you doing?"

He picked up a pencil and put it back down. He smiled a devious smile. "Nothing," he replied, "just bored." Then he went back to his desk in front of me.

I sat down, confused but forgot about it when I heard Hope bustling into the room.

When she got to the desk, she was panting. I laughed and she glared at me. "Oh, shut up," she said. "I ran into like fifteen people on my way here and dropped my stuff five times." She made a huge, over dramatic sigh and plopped onto the chair.

We laughed again and Mr. McCoy started class. "Alright class, today we are going to use a Bunsen burner and some other chemicals to make different chemical reactions."

Mr. McCoy showed us step-by-step how to make the reaction. About ten minutes into it, Hope reached toward the Bunsen burner and it flared up, burning Hope's hand.

She screamed and cradled her hand. She looked up with a face of fury and glared straight at Finn. "Finn," she screamed. Then she launched herself at Finn. They fought on the floor. Finn threw fire at Hope while she threw ice at him.

All of a sudden, Mr. McCoy was there . "You two stop this INSTANT!" Hope and Finn stopped as if they were frozen Hope was on top of Finn. It looked like they were about to punch each other but Hope's fist was crystallized with snowflakes around it and Finn's fist was engulfed in flames. They were both looking up at McCoy their faces filled with fear.

Mr. McCoy lifted each of them up in his hands and set them standing on the ground. "Can you two go one single day without fighting? You've both gone too far this time! I'll see you both after class." He turned to me and said, "I'd like you to stay as well, Miss Jenkins."

To be honest, I was terrified. He looked like he could tear any of us apart at any given moment. "Why me Sir?"

He looked at me and said, "Well, I'll need someone to help mediate so they aren't at each other's throats the entire time, won't I?"

I replied, "Yes, Sir."

"You two could've destroyed the entire class, what were you thinking?" Mr. McCoy shouted.

Hope and Finn sat with their heads down and hands in their laps. In between them sat, me, sitting in the same position as Finn and Hope.

We all stayed silent so Mr. McCoy said, "You two are brother and sister and you ought to start acting like it or I'll have no choice but to bring Bobby into this!" He waited for a moment then told us we could leave.

After we left the room, Hope and I went one way and Finn went the other. I finally broke the silence after a few minutes. "So Finn is your brother?"

She sighed and said, "Yeah, he's such a pain in the neck!"

"Well you guys are fire and ice....... literally," I replied. "Hey, who's Bobby?"

She smiled and said, "Bobby is our older brother. He's like me; he has ice powers. But believe me, that doesn't help when he's mad at both of us! He's really sweet and awesome when he isn't yelling at Finn and I to stop fighting."

I laughed, "He sounds nice, at least there's some people to keep you guys from fighting all the time."

"Yeah, he's on a mission right now. He is recruiting mutants from around the world to come to the school," she said smiling.

"You must miss him," I said and stuck out my hand.

She took it and smiled, "Yeah, I do," I replied.
