Hello! I've had another idea for a fanfic jumping around in my head, so I've come to let it out. This takes place before anybody knows about mutants, but when Duncan pushes Scott around and takes his glasses, it's similar to one after the mutant revealing.

Duncan laughed as he pushed me into a wall. He and his red-jacket goonies decided it was Make-Fun-of-Scott Day… like pretty much every day of the year. I turned to leave, trying desperately to ignore him.

"Hey, Summers! I'm not done with you yet!" He grabbed my arm. I jerked my arm away from him.

"I think you are," I growled. He motioned to his buddies and they surrounded me. Grabbing my glasses, Duncan pushed me back into the wall. I heard footsteps.

"Thank you very much!" I heard a girl's voice say.

"Look! It's Little Miss Wannabe! Now give me back those sunglasses."

"Yeah, yeah. Wannabe yourself! Who do you wanna be? Santa Claus? 'Cause with that jacket and that belly of yours, you're already halfway there!" I heard the smirk in her voice.

"Oh, yeah? Well, with your shades, you look like… Like…"

"Nice comeback, Santa."

Duncan growled. "You're dead, kid."

"Oh, look! It's Principal Kelly," the girl said. I heard a whoosh as Duncan whipped around. The girl laughed.

"I can't believe you fell for that!"

Another growl, and the girl yelped. Duncan must have picked her up by her shirt collar.

"Leave her alone!" I hissed.

"Ha, like you can do anything about it," he sneered.

"Principal Kelly!" the girl said.

"Oh, I'm not falling for that again," Duncan laughed.

"What is going on?!" It is Principal Kelly. I heard a thud, signaling that Duncan had let the girl go.

"Oh, hello, Principal Kelly! As you probably know, Duncan has anger problems. I was just trying to help him work them out!" the girl said in a honey-sweet tone of voice. I imagined her big, innocent eyes.

"But I guess he was really angry, because he was about to punch me." She sounded like she was going to cry.

I guess she did, because the Principal said, "Don't cry, little one. Duncan, in my office. NOW!" Duncan groaned. "And you two," he said to Duncan's buddies, "get to class. Summers, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, don't worry. He was helping me with Duncan," the girl said.

"Okay, Kaveri. If you have any more trouble, just let me know."

"Thank you, sir!" I could practically feel her beaming. Then everyone except me and Kaveri were gone. Kaveri walked over to me and pushed my arms away from my face. She gently put my shades over my eyes.

"Thanks," I said. I opened my eyes. There, standing in front of me, was a girl. With BLUE shades.

There. Bouncy idea in my head gone. If you like it so far, review!
