Okay, this is my new idea for a story. I know that the basic idea has been done before, but I'm giving it my own twist. PLEASE REVIEW! ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men: Evolution characters, or the story. I only own this plot and the quote below.
"We're all so caught up, in our Not-So-Perfect World. Sometimes we need to take a moment, and figure out why...Maybe we're not the only one.."
Rogue POV
"Ah hate it here!" yelled Rogue as she ran into her room, slamming the door behind her. She threw herself onto the bed and buried her face in her pillow.
"Ah hate this house, Ah hate tha' school an' Ah HATE this town!" Rogue was ranting now, but her warm pillow muffled her cries. That didn't keep Kurt from hearing her, though.
~knock-knock~ "Umm..Rogue?" came his soft German voice from outside the door. "Are you alright?"
"Ah'm fine! Why doesn' anyone mind their own bisness anymore?!" Screamed Rogue, as tears fell down her face, smearing her make-up.
"Okay! Sorry..I didn't mean to pry." Kurt sounded hurt, but right then Rogue didn't care. All she wanted was for everything and everyone to leave her alone. She was sick of everyone at the Institute.
Sick of Kitty with how she always tried to fit in and be like Jean.
Sick of Evan and how he refused to let up on his ego trip.
Sick of Jean and her prissy, perfect ways.
Sick of Scott and how he always had to be the responsible one.
Sick of Kurt and how he felt he had to please everyone else.
Sick of the Professor and his "I only want to help".
Sick of Ororo and her, "I want to be your friend".
Even sick of Logan and how he felt like he wasn't really there, like it was all temporary.
She had never felt so alone. There were so many people in Bayville, but not one of them knew how it felt to be her.
"Ah would give anything teh be someone else." She whispered to herself. She knew that such things were impossible, but she wished them all the same.
Jean's POV
"Argh!" grunted Jean as she stormed into her perfectly orderly room. "Sometimes, I wish I was anywhere but here!"
She picked up her MVP trophy and threw it to the ground. She was sick of being the perfect one all of the time. Just once, she wanted to be the 'fun one'. Not the 'big sister' of the group.
Her gaze fell upon her desk. It was covered in trophies and awards for excellence. Suddenly, they didn't seem as important.
"Why can't I EVER be the one who throws parties? Or who sleeps in class? Or tells jokes? Why can't I be fun for once?" Jean picked up her 'Big Book of Metaphors, Quotes and Others'.
'Maybe this will help me.' She thought. She opened the book to a random page and looked down at what was written.
"A leopard can't change it's spots.." She read. She tossed the book out the window.
'What does some silly old book know?' Jean stretched out on her big, comfy bed, still angry.
"I wish I wasn't Miss Jean 'Perfect' Grey." She stated as she rolled over and fell asleep.
Kurt's POV
"Jeez! Some people..." Kurt's voice trailed off as he walked away from Rogue's room, tail between his legs (literally). "I vas only trying to help."
+BAMF+
Kurt ported into his room and walked onto his balcony. He sat on the rail. It was his favorite place to sit.
"I mean, Rogue's is ALVAYS in vun uv her 'bad moods'. And everyone's okay vith it! But if I'M having a bad day, suddenly it's 'self-pity'. Figures. They're alvays after ze fuzzy dude."
Kurt chuckled at his nickname for himself. He looked out over the water at the people on the other side. They were all happy. Laughing. NORMAL...
Kurt sighed. Even with his image inducer, he was still a freak inside. Though the tail was a major advantage, the rest of it was just a nuisance.
'Vhy did I have to look so much like a DEMON? Vhy couldn't I have looked like a Cat or something?' Kurt laughed silently at the mental picture of himself with whiskers and a huge fluffy tail. And a triangle nose! That would be a sight to see..
"I vish I looked more like a HUMAN...I vish I vas someone else..." Kurt gazed out at the water, wondering what it would be like to be normal.
Evan's POV
"Man, this place SUCKS!" Evan quipped as he skateboarded into his room. "I gotta train all the time, and go to a STUPID school.. And I can't tell any of my friends about my powers!"
He closed the doors and kicked his skateboard into his hands. (Authors Note- I have NO idea what they call it when the skateboard tips up into their hands.)
"And worst of all, everyone around here is so busy worrying about themselves that none of them even pay attention to me. 'Cept Auntie 'O'. She's always raggin' on me about some'thin'."
He sat on his bed and tucked his skateboard underneath it.
"And now my powers are getting harder to control. I mean, they just shoot out when I least expect them!"
He stood up and began jumping on his bed, just for the heck of it.
"I wish I was someone else. Someone who didn't have to deal so much with Auntie 'O', or my dumb powers."
He heard a crack from the bed and immediately jumped off and away from it. He ran to the window and stared out at the landscape.
Okay, so this first chap was kinda long, but necessary. I have to show what's going on with everyone first, and THEN make the big problem for them. BTW-I'm not gonna say what happened to them all to make them so agitated, I'll leave that up to you.
Promise to update soon! Please Read and Review! Please? ;)
