Chapter 1- Bayville High
In the school of Bayville High, the kids rule. Pietro and Crystal reigned as king and queen, while everyone else are their subjects. But there are those who rebel. These people are called the Goths. Rogue, Scarlet Witch, X-23, and a few others use every chance they get to fight against the monarchy. Will they succeed? Will they fail?
Ok, kidding. What on earth was I writing about? … Ok… here's the real beginning. Have fun!
"I'll kill you!"
"Bella… Understand…" Remy said. But Bella wasn't listening.
"Remy LeBeau! How could you!" Bella screamed at him. Remy winced at the tone of her voice.
"Remy feels dat dere's not'ing special anymore, Bella. It's time."
"Time? Time! Remy LeBeau, you take that back!"
"Non, Bella. Now, stop yelling, y'r attracting attention." Remy said in hushed tones.
"I will yell when I want, where I want, ok? You don't get to decide." Bella hissed.
"Whatever, Bella. We're done here." Remy said and walked to his bike. He got on, fastened his helmet and went off.
Bella let out a frustrated scream. She stomped on the ground and banged lockers.
Nearby, a group of girls watched on by. They were laughing. Among them were Rogue, Wanda, Lexa and Betts.
Rogue, a spunky, aggressive girl with shoulder-length auburn hair and emerald eyes. One interesting thing about her was that her auburn hair had two streaks of white at each side. Nobody called her real name, which was Marie. They all called her Rogue and anyone who called her Marie, got a punch in the face. Rogue lived in Mississippi all her life with Irene, a kind, blind woman who so kindly took her off the streets. Until one day, Irene fell sick. Irene's friend, Raven, came to visit her on her death bed. Irene couldn't bare to leave Rogue all alone so she told Raven to adopt her. Raven took her back to Bayville when she was twelve. She was eighteen now.
Wanda, Rogue's best friend, sister of Pietro Maximoff who was the star player of the baskatball team. Her black, shiny hair had red tips. Her fingernails, lips, eye shadow were also red. In school, she was known as the Scarlet Witch. Wanda's father, Erik Lensher, was a successful entrepreneur who sold metal ware. Wanda met Rogue six years ago in school. Rogue, new then, was alienated from everybody else because of a misunderstanding with Bella. Wanda sat with Rogue during recess and soon, they became the best of friends.
Lexa, Rogue's other best friend, arch enemy of Pietro Maximoff. She was a girl with a poisonous tongue. Her words had sent the school's bully into the bathroom, crying. Like Wanda, her hair was black, but instead of red tips, she had streaks of midnight blue. Some people called her X-23. Lexa was the same age as Rogue and Wanda. When she and Pietro had a fight, Rogue and Wanda would be the ones who pulled her away before anybody, most probably Pietro, got hurt. Lexa hated Pietro with all her might. In her room, she had a picture of Pietro pinned to her door where she shot darts at. Most of the darts hit his heart.
Betts, the oldest of the group, a.k.a Psylocke, had dyed her hair purple. She had a British accent and like the rest of the group, a venomous tongue. She didn't really study in the school anymore, but she liked to come back as often as she could and hang out with her friends.
These four ladies were the Goths in the school.
"When do yah think she'll start crying?" Rogue asked her friends.
No one answered her, but they continued laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Bella whisked around and glared at them.
"Why… isn't it obvious, shugah? We're laughing at yah." Rogue answered her.
"Shut up!" Bella shouted at them and burst into tears.
"Aww…" Lexa made a pouting face. "We made her cry…"
Now, the girls weren't really that mean, but they hated Bella, who constantly insulted them in public. She liked to say they had no fashion sense. Or how cheap their clothes looked.
Bella wiped away her tears. "You think it's funny, that I just got dumped?"
"Kind of, And also the fact that it was Remy LeBeau who dumped you." Wanda said.
"It's not easy dating him, you know! You will never accomplish what I did."
"What did yah do?" Rogue stepped up and asked.
"I stayed with him for six months. It's not as easy as you think, you know. He's in college. And he picked me over thousands of other girls." Bella sneered at Rogue.
"Oh yeah?" Rogue raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah." Bella said.
"Then yahr wrong." Rogue answered.
"Let's have a bet. We'll both try to win over Remy. Winner is the one who Remy gives a ring to. A ring very precious to him. He said he'll only give the ring to the girl he loves the most."
"Shugah, ah have better things to do."
"He comes here every Friday to play basketball at the court. I'll watch you."
"Bella, ah'm not going to do something stupid like that. Ah really have better things to do."
Rogue was prepared to walk away. She took s few steps but stopped when Bella spoke up again.
"You know you can't beat me… Bitch."
Rogue spun around. "Say that again." Rogue said in a dangerous tone.
Bella gulped. "I said BITCH!"
Rogue walked towards her and cracked her knuckles. Bella flinched. "Alright, yah asked for it."
Bella shut her eyes and prepared herself for the blow. But the blow never came. Bella opened her eyes slowly to see Rogue smirking.
"Ah'll do it."
"What?" Wanda's jaw dropped. Huh? Rogue wasn't going to hit her?
"Ah'll prove tah yah. Besides, ah don't wanna damage mah hand on yahr face. Mah hand is too precious."
"You'll never win Remy."
"Yah'll be surprised. Let's see, shall we? If ah manage to get Remy, what will yah give meh?"
"What do yah want?"
"Yahr head on a platter." Rogue said. Laughter from her friends greeted this sentence. Bella shifted uncomfortably.
"Well…"
"Money. Ah want one hundred thousand in mah account. When ah get him, that is."
"One hundred thousand dollars! Just for that small little bet?" Bella shrieked.
"Ah thought he'd be worth more than that, but, oh well…"
"Fine. One hundred thousand dollars. But what do I get if you lose?"
"Ah'll wait on yah for one week."
Bella's lips curled into a vicious smile. "Alright, I accept. Three months should enough, don't you think?"
Lexa frowned. "What if both of you fail to get him?"
"Oh, don't worry; I'll be sure to get him." Bella said confidently.
"Three months is fine."
Lexa gripped her arm and whispered in her ear. "Are you freaking crazy? Waiting on her? That's… Crazy!"
Rogue shrugged her off. "Have confidence in meh, Lexa. Besides, yah guys are gonna help meh." Rogue shook Bella's hand. Then Bella and her entourage went away, leaving Rogue to smile to herself.
"Bella, yahr one dead bitch when ah win this thing."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Remy unfastened his helmet and placed on his motorcycle seat. He sat by the pavement, while waiting for his friend, John.
Remy LeBeau, former student of Bayville High, now student in a nearby college. Remy LeBeau had dark brown hair and his eyes were red on black. Most people found his eyes freaky, so Remy always wore a pair of dark glasses. Remy LeBeau was the son of Jean-Luc, along with Henri, who was his elder brother. Jean-Luc was a wealthy man, who owned many companies around the world. What did he sell? Diamonds. Remy used to play basketball in his high school days. Remy planned to take a scholarship which was offered to him for basketball. He would then play basketball professionally. His father, who wanted him to take over the business with his brother, Henri, strongly objected. Remy was devastated but he had to obey Jean-Luc for he was grateful to the man who adopted him so many years ago.
"Mon ami!" Remy waved his friend over. John Allerdyce walked over, whistling.
"Hello, mate! Nice day today." His friend commented.
St. John Allerdyce was an exchange student from Australia. He was Remy LeBeau's pal and a ladies man, just like his friend. He had orange hair that spiked out like a porcupine. John's father was a CEO in a record company. He signed many successful artists over the years. John's current girlfriend was a girl named Sasha, a brunette who was not only pretty, but had brains too. Sasha hoped to finish studying medicine in a few years and then go to Afghanistan to do some volunteer work.
"Very good day indeed, mon ami." Remy said, smiling.
"Hmm… what happened? You seem extra happy. Bella gave you something?" John asked.
"Non, mon ami. Even better. Remy dumped de fillie."
John dropped his jaw. "You dumped the shelia? She must be mad."
"Y' bet. Remy saw her banging people's lockers et stuff. Very scary."
"But why are you happy?"
"Because, mon ami… Do y' know what Remy's greatest property is? Not de dozens of companies Remy's pere owns. Nor de two houses he has. Remy's greatest property is that Remy is single, John. Remy is single."
John chuckled. "You think too highly of yourself, mate."
"Well, de fillies will be fawning over Remy very soon." Remy smoothed his hair and got up. "Let's go t' class."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
No one understood why Lexa and Pietro hated each other so much. Maybe it was because of the incident in first grade. Pietro, who sat behind Lexa, dipped her long braided hair into paint so when she stood up, the back of her pretty dress was stained with black. Then again, it could have been the time when Pietro put a frog into Lexa's lunchbox. Or the time when Lexa saw that particular frog and threw her lunchbox into the air. Unfortunately, the contents of the lunchbox rained down on Pietro's head. It was spaghetti and meatballs.
True, Pietro had no right to be angry, for he put the frog in the box in the first place, but Lexa didn't know that.
"X-25!" Pietro yelled at Lexa.
"It's 23, dorkus." Lexa growled. She glared at Wanda's twin.
Wanda shook her head and muttered, "My best friend and my twin…"
But Rogue wasn't paying attention. She stabbed her fork at her pasta and made a face at it. "Can anyone tell meh why cafeteria food sucks so bad?"
Lexa turned to Rogue and shook her head. "Beats me. Wanda, can you tell your good-for-nothing dumb ass of a brother to shove a stick up his ass?"
"Jee, why can't you tell him yourself?" Wanda rolled her eyes and took a bite out of her muesli bar. "I'm beginning to get sick of this, you know."
"Tell meh about it. When did it start, again? Right, first grade."
"He dipped my hair in black paint for goodness sakes! And it's not like my hair is naturally black." Lexa said.
"Sorrah. Forgot about the brown hair." Rogue grinned. Lexa rolled her eyes and shot Pietro a warning glare before returning back to her food.
"So, X-23, why are you called X-23?" Pietro called out.
Lexa gripped her fist and banged the table. "That's it!" She stood up but was pulled down by Rogue and Wanda.
"Pietro, cut it out. This is getting old." Rogue said.
"Yeah. Enough already." Wanda nodded in agreement.
Pietro grinned but nodded. "Fine." e then whispered into Crystal's ear, who giggled continuously. Lexa rolled her eyes and pointed her middle finger at them.
Pietro Maximoff, brother of Wanda Maximoff, had his hair dyed silver when he was five. You might think his father objected to this action, but surprisingly not. Erik Lensher was a busy man, and most of the time, he wasn't at home. If he was, he locked himself up in his study. Only Wanda knew his natural hair colour. Pietro was the school's pride and joy in basketball. He was the captain of the school team. Before Pietro, Remy and Warren had been the school's MVP's.
Crystal was the captain of the cheerleaders. She went to all of Pietro's games to cheer. Crystal was the queen bee in the school. Guys fawned over her, and girls admired her. Pietro was lucky to have such a girlfriend, she thought.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Betts attended the same college Remy and John did. Here, she ruled as the queen of the Goths, like she did in high school before. As Betts walked out of the lecture hall, someone chased after her.
"Hey Elizabeth." Warren said charmingly. He smiled at her.
"Yeah?" Betts stopped and looked at him.
"Well… I was wondering whether you wanted company this evening. I'm free… so… wanna watch a movie or something?"
Betts smiled. "Sorry Warren, I'm kind of busy today and all. Maybe another day, luv?"
Warren looked crestfallen. "It's ok then. Another day, I suppose."
As Betts walked away, Warren leaned against the wall and sighed. "I'll get you, one day."
"Hey, mate!" John said as he and Remy walked by. Warren ignored them and continued to watch the walking figure of Elizabeth Braddock.
Warren Worthington III was a regular hottie with blond hair and blue eyes. He was in this college on a basketball scholarship. He was a year younger than Remy, the same age as John, which is 21. Warren admired Remy's basketball skill. When they were both in high school, Warren used to watch Remy play. Remy later on became his mentor, and they became good friends. Warren had a huge crush on Betts. He knew she knew this but didn't know why she always rejected him. He was good-looking, his grades were good, and his basketball even better… why wouldn't she go on a date with him?
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Lance Alvers was the quarterback in the school's football team. His girlfriend was Kitty, a.k.a Katharine Pryde. Girls didn't know what Lance saw in Kitty and always made fun of her, but that only made Lance want to be with her even more.
"Ok, that's it for today." Lance said to the team and took his helmet off. He walked off the field and wiped the sweat of his forehead. Kitty ran to him and passed him his bottle. He squirted water onto his face and sighed when the cool water touched his hot face. He took the towel Kitty passed him and kissed her on the cheek.
"You were, like great out there." Kitty smiled.
Lance grinned and slung an arm over her shoulders. "Well, you're gonna be there when we take the games to the championship, right?" Kitty nodded and he kissed her again.
Kitty, the Valley girl always used the word 'like' whenever she spoke. She was petite while Lance was gigantic. Although she's only going on seventeen next month, she truly believed she was deeply in love with Lance. Too bad some others didn't think so.
"Hello, Katya." Piotr said as he walked towards the couple.
"What are you doing here? You don't study here anymore." Lance said defensively. "And her name is Kitty."
But Kitty smiled at him and said, "Hey, Piotr, what brings you here?"
"Well, I got tickets to a Coldplay concert, if you want to go." Piotr said. Kitty smiled brightly and nodded.
"I'd love too! You don't mind, do you?" She looked up at Lance.
Yes he did. But he saw how happy she looked. "Of course not." Anyway, she was just friends with him.
Piotr grinned and went away with Kitty, talking about the concert. Lance sighed and looked at the two Coldplay tickets in his wallet that he was planning on asking her over dinner. He ripped them to pieces and threw them on the grass.
Just then, Kurt was seen waving at Kitty. He walked over to her and Piotr. Lance immediately felt a pang of jealousy as Kitty walked with two guys by her side. Two guys he didn't like. Two guys who liked her.
"So, Kitty, vhat are you doing later?" Kurt asked.
"Hey, guess what, Kurt. Piotr, like, got me tickets to see Coldplay! Isn't it, like, so nice of him?"
Kurt glared at Piotr who grinned.
Kurt Wagner was Rogue's step-brother, and Raven Darkholme's son. Kurt was in love with Kitty. He absolutely adored her and he worshipped the ground she walked on. But Kurt was blue. Really blue. Not in the sense that he's sad, but blue colour. It was an accident that happened years ago in second grade. Raven brought Kurt to her friend's house one day. Her friend, a man who owned a cosmetic company, was working on a cream formula. He had a small room in his house transformed into a lab. Raven and her friend were busy chatting in the guest room so Kurt wandered about. He opened doors and peeked in. He saw one a particularly attractive room with coloured liquids in weird looking bottles. Curious as he was, he crept in. He was enchanted by the coloured liquids and proceeded to grab one of the bottles. But Kurt was short for his age, and had to tiptoe to get it. The bottle slipped just as he took it, and the contents poured down on him. Frightened, Kurt began to cry. The man came rushing in, Raven following behind. Needless to say, the fluid in the bottle was blue. No matter how hard Raven tried to wash the blue of his body. His hair, which wasn't affected by the liquid, remained black, but his face, his body was blue all over. Kurt was in despair. He couldn't go to school like this! But he did.
"Ja… really nice of him." Kurt said. Kitty nodded, who didn't notice the sarcasm in his voice.
"Never mind, comrade. Another time, eh?" Piotr laughed. Kurt growled and stalked away.
"Where are you, like, going, Kurt?" Kitty wondered out loud.
"I've got homework to do. Good bye. Have a good time, Kitty." Kurt mumbled to her. Kitty smiled and walked away with Piotr.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Hello, Amara." Jubilee said cheerfully.
"Hey. Did I see you sleeping during Chem. again?"
"Yeah. I can't help it. You know how boring it is." Jubs smiled at her friend.
"No." Amara answered.
"Oh yeah. I forgot you like Chemistry." Jubs realized her mistake. "Well, Chem. isn't that boring."
Amara laughed. "It's ok."
Jubilee and Amara were best friends ever since kindergarten. Jubilation Lee wanted nothing to do with the school's extra-curriculum ever since Crystal kicked her out of the cheerleading team, so she didn't join anything anymore. If the principal got mad, she could care less. Amara, as much as she supported Jubs, stayed on the cheerleader's squad. Amara and Crystal always got on each other's nerve because of their attitude. Crystal liked to have everything her way and Amara never agreed. Amara never failed to criticize Crystal's moves, for she never felt that they were better than hers. She couldn't wait for the day Crystal graduated.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Ray Crisp joined the basketball team two years ago and was very committed to it. Next year, when Pietro leaves, he would be captain. That was his goal. To be captain of the basketball team, hopefully attract attention from the lovely Jubilation Lee and somehow go out on a date with her.
Roberto Da Costa was a charming man, whom many girls swooned over. He was in the football team. His good looks earned him many a date from various pretty girls. Only one girl refused him time over time. This girl was Amara Aquilla. Roberto was beginning to lose his patience whenever he came across this beautiful girl. She acted so cool, like he was invisible. How dare she!
Ray and Roberto walked down the stairs to bump into Todd Tolensky.
"Hey, guys. Have you seen Wanda?"
Ray shook his head. "No. But I don't think she wants to see you."
"Yeah. You know how she loses her nerve every time you come along. She hates you following her like a dog."
"Thanks for the lesson but I think I know Wanda better than you. I took a shower this morning." Todd said indignantly and walked off.
"He took a shower? Really? I don't see any difference."
"Todd!" Roberto called after him. "Washing your clothes doesn't count as taking a shower, you know!"
"Shut up!" Came the reply. Roberto chuckled and shook his head.
"Come, we'll be late for class."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Robert Drake was also in the football team. Everyone he knew called him Bobby. He and Tabitha Smith were currently dating. Bobby liked to be called Iceman on the field. Everybody there laughed at him but he didn't mind. They were his friends.
Tabby, or Tabitha Smith was just a normal girl in school. She started dating Bobby just a few months ago. Tabby was quite close with Rogue and her friends. She didn't join their gang but was often seen hanging with them.
Jamie and Danielle were dating too. Jamie played basketball in the school team. He focused on his sport and never cared about his studies until one day he came home with an F for Algebra. He asked Danielle, a Math's genius, to become his tutor. She agreed. Soon, he asked her on a date. And then, their relationship began.
Sam from the basketball team, had been on a few dates with Rahne, a girl from the girl's soccer team. He blushed every time he saw her walk by. Rahne never paid much attention to him, but noticed him smiling at her whenever she looked at him.
These are the people who play a role in this story. Some play big characters, some play small ones. But they all play an important part in the progress of this story, which cannot continue without them.
