River sat under a tree as usual...Only her hair was loose and it was around her head and shoulders, as if it was trying to make a shield. She had her hands wrapped around her knees with were up against her chest.Her head was resting on her knees and with her hair around her face and shoulders.... It looked like she was crying. Her feet kept changing and turning, shoes and all, into water. She was using her hair as a shield to block the rest of the world out. She heaved a long sigh and shifted her head. Every one was commenting on how she looked.... and she was now in sheer defeat.She couldn't fight a whole bunch of people by herself.
Her eyes were slightly red. She didn't look up because she didn't want anyone to know she'd been crying.... that would just make everything worse. She gave another sigh and used the sleeve of her jacket to rub her eyes. Then she rested her head back on her knees. It was late after noon and almost no one was outside, seeing as it was raining.

Iris was looking around the yard and glanced up in the tree she was under and smiled, "River!" she said cheerfully, smiling, and looking up at River with her blue eyes, "There you are! I made some cookies and I wanted you to try one!" she said holding up the plate of warm cookies.

River shook her head she knew if her spoke everyone would know she'd been crying, because her voice would quiver. She didn't look up she just kept her head on her knees and continued to shake her head. Her hair shifted with he head, the orange and brown seemed to almost for a new colour.

/It's alright to cry,/ Iris said telepathically to River as she pulled out a ball of thread and charged it with her powers and manipulated it to pull her on the branch beside River. Iris offered the cookies and smiled again, /I never was very good at climbing trees, I always got my skirts caught on the branches,/ she thought swinging her legs and looking up at the leafy branches of the tree.

One of Rivers hands reached out and picked up a cookie. Her slender plae fingers twirled to make sure it was a cookie. The she leanded her head back and bit a took a bite. Tears had started to roll down her face again. Once she as finished the cookie she pulle dher hair back around her face and rested it on her knees again. Trying to drown out the noise of her crying.

"There's like a conspiracy against me!" River said angrily her voice quivered as she said it. "Everyone's been hounding on the way I look.... It's intoxicating..." She said quietly. "All I've been getting in insult after insult...I hate it!" She said shaking her head lightly against her jeans trying to rub some of the tears away.

"Oh sweetie, what did you expect, people might know about us mutants, but that doesn't mean that they're ready to accept us," Iris said smoothing River's hair, "Humankind are crule people anyway, even I have trouble with people hounding me about my looks, my powers, or how I handle the school."

"Doesn't anybody know, how to walk anymore, Doesn't anybody know what a radio's for, Doesn't anybody wear there hair down low, Doesn't any body know, doesn't any body know, Doesn't anybody hate it when a street light turns red, Doesn't anybody want 5 more minutes in bed, Doesn't any body, Doesn't anybody have a letter to send, Doesn't anybody wish they had just one more friend..."
She sang the fist verse of "Everbody"... Every note clinging to the air and then dieing down slowly. Every note flowed after then next, so it was easy to tell what note was comming next. River lifted her head up lightly resting her chin on her knees her hair still over her face and hanging loosly over her shoulders. She twirled a leaf around in her hands. Her hand changing from water to human."Thats how I feel...." She said quielty....
