useless words }

Class was a bore as always. Squirming in her seat Rogue tried desperately to pay attention to what the teacher was saying, but with no avail. Her mind was long gone. She was thinking of other things. For example the brief period of time inbetween the taking the cure and it wearing off. She couldn't help but remember the way it had felt. Everything she had been able to feel. Her heart yearned for it back, for something, anything, which would make her life easier.

She stared straight ahead at the black board, the numbers Strom was writing on the board hardly made sense. Squinting her eyes to try and see them probably she returned to her notepad. Her doodles covered the page with hardly any room for anything else. She sighed and closed the book, leaning her head on the desk she watched the clock. There was only five minutes left of the lesson anyhow.

She turned her head slightly so she would be able to see Bobby. She smiled. He looked just as good today as he had the day before. A grin appeared on her face. She loved the way he made her heart beat slightly louder in her chest and how much she yearned to touch him. It took so much self-control for her not to simply reach over and kiss him, something they had not been able to do since Rogue's return to Xavier's, but it was something Rogue was determined to do again.

Thinking about this, her mind flickered to the new mutant, Savannah, she had promised that whenever she needed it, she would make it so Rogue could touch. The girl had also said she could make it permanent, but had refused to do do. Rogue turned to her note book and started to sketch out ways she could trick the young mutant into doing it for her. Into making her life easier again. There must be a way. There had to be.

The bell finally rang and Rogue jumped out of her seat. Picking up her right glove which she had taken off in order to write and slipping it back onto her hand. She smiled lightly, and prepared to skip out of class to her next lesson, when she heard a noise from behind her. She turned around to find herself face-to-face with her love rival.

FOR KIT-KAT ♥

A long drawn out yawn left Katherine’s lips, as maths was never was – or was ever going to be – the most interesting of subjects. Her brain had long since turned to mush, and the only last hope was that storm would take pity on them and let them out early, kept her from falling asleep completely. Sadly as the clocked ticked by, she showed no signs of slowing down, which just left Kitty to ponder her thoughts that came to her as she watched the white haired women move in-front of the chalk-board. It seemed so hard to believe that this woman who was sending her to sleep, with long algebraic equations was the same one she had fought with all those months ago. The one who been there, and not abandoned them because the easier life was offered to them.

Slowly her eye began to wonder, until they rested on her friend – of sorts – Marie. They shared a dorm room, which had meant that friendship was instantly forced upon them, and though they had never refused it the friendship had now become somewhat strained. Marie now saw Kitty as a rival for Bobby’s heart, which even though she denied after Marie had seen them on the frozen fountain, she knew was slightly untrue. Kitty knew that after many events with Bobby, she had developed a small crush on him, but it was not something she would ever act on, not unless he came to her first. Which looked doubtful when Marie got the cure taking the cowards choice, however now she was returned to full power and like other mutants she had become slightly uncontrollable. Sadly something she took slight pleasure in, as the Kitty had no compassion for people who took the cure, to her it was a choice for cowards.

Hearing the bell ring, she jumped slightly gathering her stuff quickly and phasing through the wall next to her, queuing was such an unnecessary thing for her. Though as she disappeared through the wall, as strip of white hair caught her eye, and made her double back and catch Marie off-guard pulling her back into the now empty class-room. Kitty knew they needed to talk, and get a few things off their chest if they where ever going to move on. That or just scream at one another, through a few insults, before storming out both in an irrational rage. It was up to Marie, on how she was going to react. “We need to talk” Katherine stated, looking her in the eye “nothing happened, he was just being kind”

Rogue was never good at hiding her feelings, and as she turned to see Kitty a tear began to form at her eye. She wiped it away and shook her head. No. She was stronger than this. She turned her head, trying to ignore the girl, and carried on packing her school bag. Once everything was away she proceeded to reorganise the entire contents of her bag. Anything to avoid looking at Kitty.

It had been a while since the one time friends had had a civilised converstion, and that was because of one boy. Bobby. Iceman. Whatever you wanted to call him. Amongst his many names, were also Rogue's boyfriend, and the guy Kitty had the hugest crush on. Rogue stared at the girl and shook her head. How dare she try to be friends after all that they had gone through. Rogue just wanted to get through school and learn to control her power. Of course that was plan B. If Plan A of making this new mutant take away her powers for good didn't work out. She couldn't help but glare at Kitty. It was not fair that she could be so happy with herself. So at home here, when all Rogue wanted was to get away. To avoid who she really was. Forever.

“We need to talk nothing happened, he was just being kind”

Rogue stared at the girl and shook her head again. How dare she think she can make this all better by a simple heart-to-heart. Kitty would never know what is going on with Marie. She never could know, or at least she wouldn't understand. Katherine Pryde could walk through walls. How dangerous was that to other people really? Not very at the end of the day.

Rogue shook her head. "No, we don't need to talk Kitty." She said, flicking the long grey piece of hair inherited from magneto out of her eyes. "Cause there is nothing to talk about." She picked up her bag and with one last look at Kitty attempted to leave the room.[/color]
