Kitty Pryde.
The girl who changed my life.
Kitty swept me up into her sugary world of pink and bright lights. It
was beautiful, magical and sweet, but as with all thing behind the
beauty, magic and sweetness, there's a ugly, evil and bitter side.
I'd seen her at school before, but never talked. She was the pretty,
popular cheerleader, I was the anti-social goth with 2 friends.
Too think it started when my mother dragged me down to her stupid gym...
I normally stayed outside or was with Wanda and Risty but my mother had
convinced me to go on this 'mothers day out' thing, and she just had to
run into the gym to grab her trainers which she had left there that
morning. As I said I normally stayed outside but it was pouring so I
had to enter through the glass doors, into the lobby which had dark
blue walls, neon-blue lights, with a board looking blond girl in a blue
polo shirt behind a white reception desk and metal chairs. I sat
as my mother sauntered off to the changing rooms. For the first minute
I just sat on the cold uncomfy chairs, then I heard a faint rythmic
beat and walked towards the wooden doors it was coming from. I opened
them and stepped in my eyes travelling to the 3 people in the room, one
wore the blue polo-shirt and dark shorts meaning she was a trainer, one
a hidious pink sweater and leggings and the last was the one that my
eyes stayed on.
She was small, wearing a sports bra and tiny micro shorts, a pair of
black dance trainers on her small feet and her brown hair in a high
ponytail. In the instant I saw her eyes I knew it was Kitty Pryde. Her
eyes were like nothing I'd ever seen before, I'd often spent lessons
looking at them. They weren't baby blue that all those blonds had, or a
dark blue, or even grey/blue, they were like rain water.
Her body was moving at an exceptionally fast rate, doing a mixture of
moves that seemed almost impossible, when she finally landed in splits
I was about to clap before a yell came from the woman in pink.
"Honestly Kitty! You'll never get into the state finals if you can't
remember the routine!" She charged up to Kitty, who was pulling herself
up and stretching. "It's left shoulder, right shoulder,
behind/side/front, eagle, scissor kick, hand to chest 3 times, WHILST
moving your hips, jack knife onto hands, do a round-off land,
pirouette, splits!"
I didn't notice my mother come in behind me.
"That girls here every morning for 2 hours, after school for 4. Her mother just yells at her. Lets go!"
I saw her in school the next day, in the bathroom alone for once. I took this chance to speak to her.
"Kitteh raght?"
"Marie?"
"Rogue,"
"Oh, Rogue!" She smiled at me and put on some bubblegum pink lipstick.
"Ah saw yah, yesterday in the gym, yah were good."
"Really!" Her face lit up and she turned to me, her eyes bright. "I really need to work on my jack knife..."
"It was amazing, I wish I could do that..."
"I could teach you if you want, I go to this place every Thursday after
school for 2 hours, it's called PlanetFunk, it's a hip hop place, if
you want you could come along?"
"Erm...sure..."
"Great this is the address!" She handed me a piece of pink, scented
paper, it smelt like lilys. "If you want I'll walk with you though,
meet me at the front steps."
And that's how I started to become best friends with Kitty Pryde. But like I said, there's a dark side to everything. Even Kitty Pryde.
Tah Dah! hope you like it! R&R people!
