Stupid Alex Summers by lostrobin

X-Men

Catherine Xavier-Lehnsherr thought that she was a rather mature, sensible girl. She never argued with her parents over her curfew. She saved up her birthday money to buy herself a gaming laptop. She even didn’t get goaded into a fight by William Stryker, Westchester Prep’s biggest asshole, when he said that girls were stupid.

And then she developed a crush on the wrong person: one of her best friends.
