Kitty Pryde POV
As I walked slowly down the wide, empty corridors of 'Xaviers School For Gifted Youngsters', I couldn't help but think how mind-numbingly boring everything had become.
Now Magneto was gone and the brotherhood had been defeated, the whole place had dulled down. I had enjoyed it at first, the quietness, the idea of being able to relax without the interruption of Magneto threatening to wipe out all homo-sapiens, or humans trying to ride the world of the so called mutant problem, something stupid and prejudice like that.
But now I felt like ripping my hair out, I was so bored!
Yet still when everything was going on, all the drama and gut wrenching fear, I hated it, I would have done anything to get away from it. I remember lying in my bed, and in-between worrying of what tomorrow held, a thought came across my mind.
Was I going to live? Was I going to do the things I hadn't yet experienced? I mean what chance did I have, if great mutants like Professor Xavier and Mr Summers had been defeated, how on Gods green earth was I going to survive?
It still bewildered me now, and I couldn't even begin to describe how much I would hate for it to happen again, I just wanted something to do that didn't have the word homework in it!
While I was thinking all this I didn't acknowledge the upcoming wall and made a fool of myself by smacking my face straight into it.
A sudden appreciation for the lack of people around washed over me. As I unwillingly bent down to pick up my books, which had quite literally fallen right through my fingertips the second bell for class began piercing my ears. Which meant I was late. Something that most people in my lesson try to avoid. A result to Logans "Three strikes and I don't care what storm says I will punish my way, the old fashioned way, you got that bub?" Which was quite pointless as Logans temper was short and he had a tendency to jump the gun.
I tucked my books under my right arm and legged it to class, all the while my mind trailing back to its earlier thoughts.
As I had predicted I was VERY late. Unfortunately when the second bell had rung I was on the complete opposite side of the mansion. I had a mental argument with myself as to if I should just skip class altogether. Science wasn't that important and since Logan had started teaching it we hadn't learnt that much. No offence to him but he new as much about science as he new about civilise conversations. And that's not much I knew this from experience.
But I eventually gave in and tried to creep into class, very ineffectively. "Kitty!" Darn his super sensitive wolf-like hearing! But wait sec, that wasn't Logan's voice this was a femine voice and it could only belong to one person, our newly acquired head teacher Storm.
" Care to explain?"
" Errrrrrrrr …. I got distracted?" I stuttered trying to save myself from the embarrassment of saying I walked straight into a wall like a moron!
" Yer, of course you did. Now sit down, we're doing astronomy, have you received your textbooks yet off of Mr Logan?" the last part was directed at the whole class.
Halfway to my seat I realised that it was occupied. I looked around to see that nobody was in they're usual seats.
I gave Rouge- my newly acquired best friend –a questioning glance to which she knowingly mouthed the words seating plan all the while looking hatefully at her new science partner the newly returned fiery tempered Pyro.
Who was looking just as resentfully back at his ex-best friends girlfriend Rouge.
Everybody had been slightly edgy around Magneto's former right-hand man, especially since Logan had brought him back against his will. And the fact that he looked at everyone and everything like he wanted to burn it to ash didn't help either. I glanced around the room looking for a seat when a realised the only space was next to Peter.
An amazingly gorgeous, tall and muscularly guy. I had never quite had the guts to talk to him, I'd always wanted to but something had always stopped me. I would say to myself that I had things to do or I had to get to class otherwise Logan would beat me to a pulp, but I knew the real reason was because my stomach filled with butterflies whenever I looked at him.
And now I had to sit next to him for two whole semesters, this was going to kill me. I slowly walked over to where he sat, stumbled a few times, getting a couple of giggles but I eventually made it to my new seat. As I sat down he sent me a friendly smile, then turned back to his book.
I wanted to say hello, well more wanting him to say it. After Storms introduction speech to what we would be learning for the next two months, he filled my wish.
"Hi I am Peter, you are Kitty?" he asked in his deep Russian accent.
"Yer, err… hi" I mumbled like an idiot.
"It's strange, I've know you for a very long time and yet this the first time we have actually had a conversation." He sounded truly bothered by that fact, which quite confused me.
"I err, guess it is strange… so do you understand any of this, I'm really out of focus" great I'm starting to babble. I was telling the truth about the being out of focus thing, but what he didn't need to now was that it wasn't because of the astronomy, I had already done this subject back home in Deerfield high school, the reason was because I couldn't believe I was actually speaking to him.
For the rest of the lesson, I faked not understanding anything, so I could have an excuse for talking to him. It wasn't until Logan and Pyro left class that we talked off subject.
" Where are they going and why do they both look like they are going to kill some one?" I asked confused.
" Oh, they both got anger management classes together." He spoke as suppressing a laugh. " They started a couple of days ago, at first it was just Pyro, you know to get him past his whole evil Magneto stage, but then Storm thought it might be a good idea that Logan do it with him, to get past his…issues or something"
Surprise flitted across my face "How do you know all this?"
"Um, Bobbie and Pyro were roommates before Pyro went to the brotherhood, but now his come back he was moved to my room, because he kept accidentally burning all Bobbie's stuff" he replied.
I giggled a little I could just imagine that, it was defiantly something he'd do. I guess he still hasn't gotton over the fact that Bobbie won they're little face off. It was a little unfair, turning your whole body into ice and then head butting some one is not really good sportsmanship.
He laughed a little too, but Storm soon called upon us for an answer neither of us had heard the question too.
The last half an hour was in silence, neither us wanting to have too to stutter and mumble embarrassingly that we weren't listening again.
Soon the bell rang loudly making me jump. I was going to try and talk to Peter again when Rouge came skipping up to me.
"Well that was completely boring, I didn't get any of it and for the most of the lesson I had Mr I want to watch the world burn cause I'm an angry ex-evil guy sitting next tome" I was annoyed that she had stopped me in my tracks to speaking to Peter but, I wasn't in the mood for having ago, so I started to walk with her to our shared room chatting about how much she hated Pyro, I swear the amount she talked about him now he was back, it was non-stop and now they were science partners, I wouldn't hear the end of it .
I suddenly realised that that was the last class of the day.
My mind did a little happy dance, yes now I can just lie on my bed and relax.
But I couldn't relax, cause I couldn't take my mind off of Peter. Darn him, he was stopping me from having the evening I had planed. Go to room, eat ice cream go to bed, darn him.
Just as I predicted, I couldn't get him off my mind all night, it took me ages to go to sleep and we had barely spoke!
Oh, what was the matter with me, he was just some guy, who I happen to have had a small crush on for like FOREVER.
He probably didn't even give me a second thought, and if he did he probably thought I was just some weird shy little girl.
Okay that's it I have to promise to myself, that after tonight I wasn't going to think about him anymore, it would be like a new years resolution, but in September.
Right no more peter thoughts, peter thoughts are bad.
What do you think? This is just the first chapter please review, more to come!
