Chapter 2
Kitty hurried to her locked to get her English novel when she saw Lance waiting by her locked. She didn't know what to do. She had already been unprepared for class too many times because of him being in front of her locker but she still wasn't ready to talk to him. So she took a deep breath and marched over to her locker.
"Kitty! We really need to talk, Kit." Lance said when he saw her silently open her locker.
"Not now Lance."
"Then when, Kitty? You've been avoiding me for the past month."
"And whose fault is that?"
"Kitty, come on. Just please let me explain."
"There's really nothing to explain, Lance. The whole thing was pretty cut and dry. I have to get to class now." Kitty said slamming her locker. Kurt, who she had first period with, was waiting for her by the English classroom near-by.
"Come on Kitty, it'll be alright." He said comfortingly to his best friend. All Kitty did was walk silently into the classroom as Lance watched her go. She went strait to her seat and fought tears back the entire class. After creative writing, she felt a little better and Trigonometry, which she was fantastic at, put her in a better mood.
Lance looked at Kitty through the window of the Trig room. She was in a better mood but Lance still could tell that she was faking. She kept staring out the window and doodling. She always doodled when something was on her mind. He felt lost. He knew he had hurt Kitty badly when he had turned his back on her and joined Mystique's team to fight against the X-Men. He had regretted it and they had gained nothing from that fight. Even though he still lived in the Brotherhood house, he no longer considered himself a Brotherhood member. He cared about Kitty more than anything and would do almost anything to get her back. In his next class was Rogue sitting alone reading in the back of the classroom. He hurried and snatched the seat in front of her.
"Hi Lance." Rogue said without looking up from her book.
"Hey Rogue. How'd you know it was me?"
"No one except Kurt or Kitty is that excited to grab the seat in front of me and I saw Kitty's cold shoulder this morning."
"Yeah. That's what I came to talk to you about. I need your help."
"I'm guessing that Kitty is still giving you the frigid shoulder."
"Yeah and I am at a complete loss at what to do."
"Well we'll try our best but we can't promise anything."
"Oh come on Rogue. You guys have been 'trying your best' for about a month. I don't know how much longer I can last without her." Lance told the Goth girl. Rogue looked up at him and saw that he meant it with all of his being.
"Alright Lance. The Fall Masquerade is coming up in two weeks. I'll get the other together and we'll meet after school somewhere to get plan together. Until then, keep trying to talk to her. I know that she still cares about you." Rogue told him just as the English teacher, Mrs. Long, walked in and started class.
"Thank you." Lance told Rogue as class began.
