Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Rogue groaned and groped blindly for the alarm clock, not remembering that she had put it on the other side of the room for that very reason the nigh before. Rogue slowly opened her eyes and winced in the bright light. Kitty Pryde's cheerful face looked down at her.

"Like, come on Rogue. We, like, have to eat breakfast."

Rogue grumbled and slowly got herself out of bed. Trudging herself out of bed, she made her way to the bathroom, which was, for the first time Rogue could remember, vacant. After she had showered and changed black pants and tank top covered by her see through green over shirt, she added her dark make-up and trademark gloves and went downstairs. Making her way into the kitchen, she found everyone already there, eating away.

"Good morning Rogue." The professor greeted her.

"Mornin'" She muttered.

She didn't feel like being part of this big happy 'family breakfast'. It wasn't that she felt like they didn't want her or anything like that, she had gotten over those feelings a long time ago, she simply didn't see them as family, well except for Kurt of course. Rogue shook her head sadly, she had never had a family, even Irene hadn't felt right, and especially after Rogue found out she was there only because her 'mother' had told her to watch her. Rogue tucked one of her white streaks behind an ear and grabbed an apple from the table. Turning she started to walk out of the room, but Jean's annoyingly cheerful voice stopped her.

"Hey Rogue, the girls and I are going to go shopping after school, do you want to come?"

"No." Rogue said shortly.

"Ok then, why don't you stop by Duncan's tonight for the party. I'm sure he wouldn't mind as long as you're with me."

Rogue felt like she'd been slapped. In other words, she thought bitterly, if you aren't with me you're nothing.

"No thanks Jean. Ah don't like parties." Rogue lied; she had been a party queen before she had moved here. With that Rogue left, but not before she heard Jubilee talking.

"Man what a grouch. Rogue is totally cold. It isn't normal."

Rogue stopped, shocked to hear the others agreeing with her. Rogue shook her head angrily and walked out the door, slamming into Logan.

"What's your hurry stripes." He grunted as she ran into him.

"Outta mah way." Rogue said angrily, shoving Logan and storming off. Logan looked after her, shaking his head. "That kid has problems."



Rogue made her way to Bayville high school in silence, pondering what Jubilee had said. Am I really that dull and cold? She wondered. Sure she didn't throw herself at boys, for obvious reasons, and she didn't go to social events nor do anything involving other people for that matter-

"Oh mah god." Rogue said quietly to herself. "Ah am so boring." Rogue shook her head ruefully.

"Of course you're boring, idiot." She scolded herself. "It comes with the outfit."

Rogue looked down at her clothes and sighed. She hadn't really had a choice, what with her powers. "Oh that's bullshit girl and you know it."

"Talking to yourself again?" A voice said. Rogue whirled around to find Evan on his skateboard.

"Oh, hi Evan. What's up?" She said, still thinking. Evan looked at her in shock.

"That's it? I come over and talk and you didn't even give me the death glare?" He skated over to her and put a gloved hand on her forehead. "You feeling ok Rogue?" Rogue did glare at him then; him touching her had been a big surprise, not to mention he had just voiced the fact that she was trying to deny to herself. That she was a cold-hearted bitch who couldn't even be talked to without being attacked. Rogue sighed. "Ah was just thinking that's all." She said quietly, turning and walking towards the school. Evan just looked after her. "That girl has problems."
