Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep…
Kitty groaned as she phased her hand through the alarm; shutting it off. She sat up and looked across the room seeing her roommate putting on her shoes.
"Wow Rogue, you're like up early today." Kitty yawned as she sat up in bed. Rogue looked over at her with slight confusion.
"What are ya talkin' 'bout? It's seven fifteen."
"What?!" The brown hair girl replied while grabbing her alarm clock. Unfortunately Rogue was right. The clock read 7:15am. "Oh my gosh! I'm gonna be late! Why didn't it go off at 6:15 like it was supposed to?" With that Kitty grab her clothes and ran to the bathroom like a madman. About ten minutes after Kitty left, there was a familiar 'Bamf' in the room and Kurt appeared, hanging upside down from the chandelier.
"Guten Tag Rogue and Keety!" Kurt cheerfully greeted while staring down at his sister and…. No Kitty. "Vait. Vhere's Keety?"
"Gawd Kurt. You are gonna give me a heart attack one of these days. Dat gurl is in da shower. Apparently her alarm decided to go off an hour late. Ah told her that her alarm was gonna break if she kept phasin' through it to turn it off. She better hurry, Scott leaves at Seven forty." Rogue responds as she brushes her hair. As if on cue, Kitty comes phasing in with soaking wet hair, wearing her normal red collared shirt with dark pants. She has the hair dryer in hand with her hairbrush.
"Morning Kurt." Kitty greeted as she plugged the hair dryer in the wall. Seeing Kurt in her room in the morning has been no surprise to her. He always appears around the same time every morning to greet them and to, of course, inform them that breakfast was ready. Although at times this seems to annoy Rogue, Kitty looks forward to it every day. She would never admit it, but it was always one of the highlights of her day. "I got to dry my hair and get to the car before Scott leaves. See you downstairs?"
"Ja of course, I'll even try to leave ya some food." Kurt winked and gave one of his famous smiles before porting downstairs. Kitty smiled and started to dry her hair. Rogue rolled her eyes and made her way downstairs. She and everyone else knew that they two obviously liked each other… well everyone except for the two of them.
Downstairs at the breakfast table it was 7:36 and everyone was just about done with breakfast. Scott and Jean were cleaning up their dishes, while Rogue was finishing up her cup of tea and eggs. Logan flips the page in the paper and looks at the clock.
"Does anyone know where half-pint is?" He asked. Logan has always been the lone wolf, but ever since coming to the Xavier Institute he felt less of a lone wolf and part of a pack. He hated to admit it but the kids seemed to have wormed their way into his heart. Though there wasn't a force alive that would get him to say any of these things out loud.
"Her alarm broke and she woke up late." Rogue explained.
"She better hurry or else we are going to be late." Scott stated as he looked at the clock. 7:38am. Classes started at 8:10am but everyone liked to get their early to get their books and it took time to drive there. But regardless of the time, he wasn't about to leave a team member behind.
"You all can go ahead. I can port Keety to school vhen she is done." Kurt volunteered while cleaning off his dish.
"I thought you didn't like porting to school 'cause you said it made you smell like sulfur all day?" Jean smiled as she asked. Being a telepath, she already knew that Kurt would do anything for Kitty. Not that she needed to use her powers to figure that out. Kurt walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out a loaf of bread and put some in the toaster. "You're still hungry?"
"Nah this is for Keety, she needs to have something to eat before going to school. And I don't mind porting. I don't think the sulfur smell is noticeable anymore." Kurt replied as he got out a plate for the toast. Ever since the day they met, Kurt always had a crush on Kitty. Even while she was with Lance and him with Amanda, Kurt would always be thinking of Kitty. Amanda was a very nice and great girl but he knew that he could never give his heart to her. They had broken up about a month and a half ago, but still remained good friends. Unfortunately the same could not be said for Kitty and Lance. About a month ago Kitty had found out that Lance was cheating on her with some blond chick. When Kitty dumped Lance, he did not take it so well. For three days straight, Lance would come over to the institute and shake the place up until Kitty came outside. On the third day, Logan came outside and gave Lance a piece of his mind. Needless to say, Lance hasn't bothered Kitty ever since.
"Well then we better get going. See ya at school!" Scott smiled and with that they left leaving Kurt and Wolverine alone in the kitchen. Not even 15 seconds later Kitty rushes in to the kitchen.
"Sorry I'm late! I'm ready to go…. Wait, where is everyone?" Kitty looked around to see a practically empty kitchen.
"They left for school already, but I'll take you vhen you are done breakfast." Kurt said as he handed her the plate with toast on it.
"You made me breakfast? That is totally sweet Kurt!" Kitty smiled while Kurt blushed. Logan on the other hand just rolled his eyes. It was too early in the morning to deal with their teenage hormones. He cleared his throat and the two of them looked his way.
"Ya better eat up half-pint if you and the elf want to make it to school on time." Logan stated. He picked up his coffee and took another sip of it. "And make sure that Principal of yours doesn't see ya 'porting elf. He already isn't fond of mutants." Ever since the Mutants were reveled by Magneto, the Xavier kids have been having a hard time at school with the bullying. Fortunately most of the teachers were sympathetic with what the students were going through and offered support whenever needed, but Principal Kelly was not one of them. Kitty and Kurt nodded and sat at the table while Kitty ate her toast. Ten minutes later Kitty was done with her plate.
"Well I'm done. See ya later Mr. Logan!" Kitty said. Kurt grabbed her hand and waved to Logan as he teleported off to school. Logan noticed the small blush the two had while holding hands and once again rolled his eyes.

From the building across the street, Kitty and Kurt were seen appearing around the east corner of their school. Click! They walked towards the building talking and laughing. Click! Upon seeing the others, the pair made their way to their group. Click!
"Don't you think it's weird that Magneto has us doing surveillance on Shadowcat?" Lance asks as he takes another photo of Kitty.
"We do what Magneto wants us to do. If that includes getting a couple of glamour shots of miss kitty cat then that is what we do. Why? Is taking pictures of your ex getting too hard for you?" Pietro teased while taking a sip of his drink. The Brotherhood has had a lot of free time lately since being expelled from school. A slight rumble was felt and Pietro's drink spilt onto him. "Whoa take it easy there tiger. No use ruining a good shirt because of her."
"Man she caught me kissing one girl and goes ballistic calling me a cheater, breaking up with me, and then sticking her mentor on me when she doesn't even want to talk about it." Lance ranted on.
"Didn't you make out with five girls?" Toad asked sitting on the floor. Lance smirked.
"Yea, but she only found out about the one." He takes another photo. "Well she is inside the building now. We'll get some more pictures when she goes home. In the meantime let's get these photos over to Magneto." Lance and the others stood up walked out of the building.
