Kitty and Lance end up in detention together.. but they're not alone. Scott, Kurt, Todd, Evan and Jean end up stuck with them.


Detention - Chapter 1

(Kitty's POV)

It's safe to say today has been a roller coaster for me. Why? Well let's just say today started off as the best day of my life, then changed to the worst, and went back to the best. I was hoping it would end there, but it seems as though Life has a passion for teasing me. She constantly dangles happiness in front of me, gives me the slightest taste then yanks it away. Because just when I thought I was off the crazy ride, Life pulled me back on. So my day took a turn (for the fourth time) and ended up being my worst day ever… once again. What can I say, Life's a bitch.

If you're wondering why I am so depressed, angered, frustrated, annoyed and everything in between right now, it's because I am in detention. Yes, me, Kitty Pryde, in detention. It wouldn't be that bad if I was by myself, but like I said, Life isn't very fond of giving me any form of satisfaction. So that leaves me sitting here with Lance Alverse. The most attractive bad-boy, yet closet sweetheart, I have ever met in my life. I know what you're thinking: That doesn't seem bad at all. Well believe me when I tell you it is. Because sitting in this room with us are Scott Summers, Kurt Wagner, Jean Grey, Todd Tolanski, and Evan Daniels. First of all, Lance and Scott in the same room is enough. But Kurt and Todd about to have a face off, along with Evan who is pissed off at Kurt over a prank gone wrong. Not to mention Jean who is having relationship issues with Scott, Todd throwing slimeballs at Lance, and Evan attempting to make a skateboard ramp out of my text books. Now that is absolute and undeniable chaos. Worst of all, it is more than I could possibly handle.

And to think, my day started off great…


I wake up beating my alarm clock by twenty minutes. Midterm week was finally over a day ago, so I went to sleep early after a long week of late night study sessions with Kurt and Rogue. I walked over to the curtains and pulled them wide open. Sunshine flooded my room seizing every bit of darkness. I smiled at the thought of finally enjoying a sunny day. I made my way towards my dresser to choose the perfect outfit for the day of school ahead of me. Once a good ten minutes passed I end up selecting my dark-washed jean shorts and a purple v-neck T shirt, topped off with a black sports hoodie. I headed into the washroom, and to my surprise, there was no one fighting for it. Probably because I woke up earlier than everyone. After brushing my teeth I decided to wear my long brown hair out, instead of in my trademark high ponytail. I usually don't wear makeup, but I chose to put on some mascara, followed by some light pink lip gloss. I took a step back to observe my work in the bathroom mirror, hardly recognizing myself. I walked out of my room only to see Rogue, Jean and Amara (still in their pajamas) racing towards the washroom. I couldn't help but let out a small laugh as they passed, because for once I'm not part of that race. I head down the main stairway and made my way towards the kitchen. The scent of scrambled eggs, freshly baked bread, and potatoes filled the air. I opened the door of the kitchen to see a delicious breakfast buffet laid out. Usually, if I even have time to eat breakfast, all the food is gone, but today I beat the morning rush. I grabbed a plate and loaded it with everything I saw. Looking towards my right, I spotted Mr. Logan sitting on a table reading the newspaper. I took a seat in the chair across from his. "Good morning Mr. Logan, isn't it a lovely day today?" I greeted him.

"Are you alright, half-pint?" He asked.

"Wonderful!" Mr. Logan looked at me a suspiciously and continued reading his newspaper. I just shrugged and scarfed down every bit of food on my plate. Logan responded by looking up from the paper and staring at me with bemusement. I dropped my plate in the sink and continued with my routine. Just as I left the kitchen and entered the living room, I saw all the students of the Institute rush my way. I phased through the crowd to avoid injury. Most of them greeted me as they hurried past, and I greeted them back.

"Hey Kitty, you look great!"

"Morning Jamie, so do you!."

"Kitty."

"Evan."

"Good morning Kätzchen!"

"Back at ya, Kurt."

"Morning Kitty. I borrowed your hair straightener, I hope you don't mind."

"Of course I don't Amara! You should know by now, what's mine is yours."

"Kittycat's in a good mood today."

"Looks like we both are, Icecube."

"Did you have a nice sleep?"

"Thanks for asking Jean, I did."

"You're ready early."

"I know, isn't it great? Anyways, Scott, since everyone's probably going to take a while, I think I'm gonna walk to school today."

"You sure?"

"Positive, it's only a twenty-five minute walk. And it's such a nice day."

"Okay. But if you run into trouble-"

"I'll call. Don't worry about me. See you later!" I finished, leaving before he could say another word. I grabbed my light brown backpack, put on my favorite black sneakers, and headed out the door.


I felt the warm air brush passed my face as I continued to school with an uncommon bounce in my step. Ten minutes into my walk, I passed the Brotherhood Boarding House. I begun to quicken my pace. It wasn't that I didn't like the Brotherhood, I actually got along with them better than anyone else at the Institute, aside from Rogue. I was just afraid I'd run into him. Lance Alverse, the sweetest guy I have ever met. Sure you have to dig deep to get to that side of him. Most people have never even come across it because of all the walls he puts up. I never really blamed him though, considering his rough past. Oh, and let's not forget he's the sheer definition of eye-candy. Wait, why don't I want to see him again?

"Hey Kitty!"

"Lance! Umm…hi, hey. What's up? How are you? Hi!" Oh right, that's why.

Lance let out a chuckle and smiled, "You said that already."

I could feel my cheeks turning red. How is it possible that a person could make me forget how to speak properly?

"Why are you walking? Doesn't Summers usually give you a ride to school?" He asked me, flashing a smile that made my heart melt.

"Yeah, usually. But today I woke up earlier than everyone, and since it was so nice out, I decided to walk. Plus mornings at the Institute are pretty chaotic, so I'll take any chance I could get to escape them." He laughed at my joke, but I could tell he was just being nice.

"Well, I can give you a ride if you want one." And, as if he read my mind, he added, "Don't worry, the others don't have to come with us, they can walk."

"Like sure Lance. I mean if it's no bother, I.. umm.. would totally love to!" God, now he thinks I'm a complete valley girl.

"Great! We better leave before the rest of the guys come out."

Omg! I just agreed to ride to school in Lance's jeep! Just the both of us! What if he's only being nice though? I shouldn't get my hopes up…but still, OMGOMGOMG!

Nothing could ruin this day... or so I thought.


How do you like it so far? The next chapter will be similar, except in Lance's POV. I really like to show both sides :) Follow the story to find out how everyone ended up in detention, and to see how Kitty's day turns from the best to the worst.

UPDATE (6/5/2014): Hey guys! I really didn't like this story before, I thought it was cheesy at some parts and poorly written in others. I attempted to fix it, nothing major, but if I'm putting my name on it I want it to be decent.
