When the class bell rang Marie was seated quietly in her seat, staring out the window deep in thought. She heard the object of her intense contemplation approaching the English Literature class and sighed deeply as the red-visored individual entered the already crowded classroom.

Mentally she was comparing him with the now vacant Logan. She was feeling guilty that her 'boring' English teacher was coming out above the brawnier Wolverine who risked his life for hers many times before he left two years ago.

Sighing again she opened the notebook in front of her. Dispite her attempts at paying the hansome man's teachings any attension, her mind kept straying to what she'd heard last night coming from the room he shares with Mrs. Summers. His wife.

With great yearning for what she may probably never experience first hand, she allowed her mind to wander.

~I wonder what he'd look like naked...~ She thought, analizing Mr. Summers' obviously firm physique. Slowly stripping him in her mind, she was unaware said teacher's attempts at getting her attension.

Hearing some classmates behind her snicker, Marie looked up. Blushing already.

"Earth to Rogue..." The object of her affection called cheerfully. "Thinking about English lit i hope."

"Um...of course, Mr. Summers... sir." She replied, turning even redder still.

"Great. Back to shakespeare." Scott Summers said, continuing with his lesson. The class continued nearly without incident. Jubilation Lee dropped her sunglasses, and Bobby nearly got himself put from the calss for tormenting Kitty Pryde during a Macbeth debate.

At 12:00 the lunch bell rang sending students from all classrooms running from the old building.

"Rogue. Could you stay after class a moment?" Mr. Summers asked, unknowingly turning Marie's insides to jelly.

"Uh... sure. Go ahead, Jubes. I'll be along."

"Kay." she replied. "See ya 'round."
