Chapter II
Secrets
The weekend was over and now it was Monday yoo-hoo! First day of school, it always brings joy and happiness doesn't it? Well another day at old Bayville High. Everyone was attending their normal schedule. However, Rogue was debating as to what to write on her journal, "What can I talk about with the guy of my dreams?" she asked herself, "Love, is out of the question" she reminded herself as she smiled inwardly.
"Ok class," interrupted the Drama teacher, Mrs. Lockhart. "We have a new project which we will be focusing on for the next 2 weeks" she mentioned happily, in contrast with the bored expression of her students. "Oh its not that bad, what if I tell you it will be a group presentation?" everyone looked up and seem quite interested, they were already looking for partners. "Now, now we wont be biased about this, let me explain, I have written the names of all the girls in the class and since we have an even number of girls and boys , each one of the boys will select a piece of paper with the name of their partner, a girl obviously, doesn't that sound great" she smiled.
Mrs. Lockhart called each boy to select their piece of paper, and after a few minutes all the guys had their own piece of paper. "Well now let's hear the name of your…" she was interrupted by Mr. Ross the literature teacher. " I'll be back" she announced.
"Damn!" shouted Duncan, "I'm a stuck with goth-chick!"
"And you're complaining?" thought Rogue.
"Who wants to trade!?" yelled the football star. And as Rogue expected nobody seemed psyched at the idea, she decided to look outside knowing that she would be stuck with the airhead for 2 weeks, and now that she thought about it, that was pretty darn bad.
"Just give me that" said Scott who quickly exchanged the papers with his former rival "jerk" he whispered.
"Here you go, loser" answered Duncan.
Scott sat next to Rogue, who was distracted by the view of the outside world of Bayville, she was tapping her pencil against her precious journal, then her pencil fell and when she reached out for it her gloved hand bumped into Scott's.
"Hey partner!" he announced.
"Funny, you ain't Duncan" she said a bit confused, but happy at the same time.
"We had a little trade, but if you want to be with him that badly…" he said teasingly.
"No!" she almost shouted, and instantly felt embarrassed.
He smiled "that's what I thought."
Mrs. Lockhart entered the room and explained the assignment, "Well Mr. Ross and I talked and since we both share this class we decided to combine both subjects in the assignment which will now also be part of your literature class, and a major grade…"
The assignment consisted in making a report of their partner which would only have secrets of said partner, she stated that only the couple would have access to those secrets and later make an essay about what they learned and the impact it had on them, that was the Literature part of the assignment, and for the Drama part, the boys would be in charge of acting like a character from a novel that she had previously assigned to the guys (for the 1st week) and the girl would have to guess the novel/play, and then Mrs. Lockhart would give the girl a role to play and now the guy would have to guess. "Pretty easy" she ended.
"But how are you gonna grade the acting?" asked a Duncan's new partner. "How are you gonna know we didn't cheat?"
"Good question Sally, as a teacher I know very well who cheats, but also, you would have to write how did you figure it out before you write your final answer" she continued on saying how teachers had these special power when it comes to cheating, a speech that everyone ignored.
Ring! The class had ended and with it the scholar part of the X-Men group who now were heading to the Institute. It was now time for the DR session, to the surprise of Logan, the team was actually excited about it, they all missed the adrenaline rush created when they practiced with Logan.
"Ready kids!" said Logan from the intercom.
"As always!" answered back Cyclops.
The session began, the DR created a cemetery scenario were they would face old rivals. First Blob appeared and attacked Kitty who easily evaded his blows, Spyke took care of the rest; then Mystique appeared which disturbed Rogue and Nightcrawler due to their relationship with the Shape-Shifter but nevertheless attacked her and got rid of her; After the Brotherhood was defeated, Magneto appeared he captured Jean and everyone headed to her rescue, after a hit of Cyclops deadly beam, Magneto released her. Rogue then did her part and was about to absorb the foe…
"That's it for today X-Men" announced the Professor, "Rogue, may I have a word with you" he said after leaving to his office.
Everyone looked confused, the session went well but the professor seemed concerned about something. Spyke, Kurt and Kitty went with the new recruits to talk about the DR sessions that they would soon be part of. Logan and Storm went to drink some coffee in the launch where they discussed about their future plans and whatnot. Jean and Scott went out for the night to watch a movie to the request of Jean, (The movie was He's Not That Into You. Just thought I mentioned that hehe).
"Wow that movie was quite interesting don't you think love?" said the redhead.
"Ah, yeah sure" said Scott, he hated the movie, but he liked Jean, what's a guy to do in that situation. 'I wonder what's going on with Rogue'
{Back at the Institute}
"Rogue, I have a special mission for you" said the professor while intertwining his fingers. "Remember Warren Worthington from last Christmas" explained Xavier. She nodded. "Well he requested your presence at a ball that his Company is hosting this Christmas, it would be beneficial for the mutant community…" He continued explaining how this ball was specially arranged to expose to the public the mutants as pacifists and so on. "Don't worry you will not be going alone"
"Not alone?" She whispered, yet it was no surprise that the telepath heard.
"Yes, my dear, I think it appropriate if Scott accompanies you"
"Scott? Can't it be anybody else?" she asked a bit nervous.
"Well Angel requested his presence as well, since both of you made a great impression on him and were the first 2 mutants he met from the Institute" he explained. "You will go on your mission this weekend so rest for now, you are dismissed"
Rogue left the office and questioned herself, "For some reason I don't have a good feeling about this" while walking back to the dormitory the thought of her journal came to her mind, "Oh God, I forgot it in the Rec Room!" On her way to rescue her precious journal, she saw someone already holding in, what was even worse was that said person had dared to open her precious Journal.
