Kitty nudged Katelyn's shoulder, trying to wake her up.
"Ugh," Katelyn groaned and rolled off her bed.
Kitty shook her head in amazement as Katelyn's hand reappeared and pulled the pillows and blankets down after her.
"Katie," she laughed, "breakfast doesn't wait forever."
Katelyn's head popped up.
"Breakfast?"
"Eggs, bacon, and coffee," Kitty said coaxingly.
Katelyn wrinkled her nose.
"Ick, coffee," she grimaced.
Kitty shook her head.
"A non-morning person who hates coffee. I don't know how you survive."
Katelyn yawned.
"Okay, I'm up now. You go ahead while I get dressed," she said.
Kitty nodded and headed downstairs.
………………………….
Katelyn reached the dining hall and sighed happily at the smell of pancakes. She headed straight for them, completely oblivious of the male that followed her as she walked across the room. She piled food on her plate and went to sit next to Kitty. She started eating happily, but stopped when Kitty nudged her arm. She looked up at one of the students who had finally worked up enough nerve to try to talk to her.
"Hey beautiful, did it hurt when you fell from heav-"
Katelyn held up a hand to cut him off.
"No hitting on me until after I've finished eating," she said. "Trust me, it's for your own safety."
"Are we allowed to talk to you at all?" Logan asked as he sat down next to her.
"Only if you manage not to annoy me," she answered.
The rejected student wandered away in confusion.
"There's Scott," Kitty pointed. "Poor guy never really knows what's going on this early in the morning."
They watched as he wandered over to a nearby table and started eating. He appeared to be asleep and several students were forced to dive out of the way before he ran into them. Katelyn grinned.
"Excuse me a moment," she said, standing up.
"Kate?" Logan asked curiously.
She grinned at him as she walked over to Scott.
"Scott? Are you awake?" she asked.
He grunted in response. Katelyn stole a piece of his bacon and he kept eating. She smiled.
"Scott, do you forgive me for coming after you? Grunt if you do."
"Mnghh," he grunted.
"Good. So you aren't mad anymore? And I can have your bacon? Grunt again if you agree."
He grunted again.
"I'm so glad we've reached an understanding. Goodbye!"
Katelyn skipped back to the table eating her bacon.
"You are my witnesses," she told everyone.
"That was amazing!" Kitty laughed. "I can't believe you stole his bacon! He is going to be so mad when he finds out."
Katelyn blinked innocently at her.
"But he said I could have it," she smiled.
Scott drank his coffee and looked down at his plate.
"Hey…where did my bacon go?" they heard him ask.
Katelyn turned around in her chair.
"Something wrong Scotty?" she asked sweetly.
"No-"
He looked from the piece of bacon in her hand, to the grinning faces of the people at her table, to her innocent, wide-eyed face. His eyes narrowed.
"You."
"Yes Scott?" she asked, batting her eyelashes at him.
He stood up and stomped over to her.
"That's my bacon," he scowled.
"Actually, you said I could have it," Katelyn informed him.
"I did no such-"
The people at her table started nodding and he stopped.
"I did?" he asked her.
Katelyn nodded.
"And you're not mad at me anymore. You forgave me for everything."
Scott blinked.
"I did what?"
She grinned at him. Logan shook his head.
"Just sit down and shut up Scott. You can't win with this one," he said dryly.
Scott sat down confusedly. Katelyn pushed another cup of coffee in front of him and he took it wordlessly. Suddenly his eyes widened and he stared at her.
"You tricked me!" he said.
"And you're not mad," she reminded him.
Then she smiled and ate the last of his bacon.
Storm's voice came on the intercom.
"I'd like to remind everyone that the Winter Dance is next week. The staff will be chaperoning and I expect everyone to be in their own rooms afterwards. I mean it."
The intercom clicked off.
"Oh, so that's why you made me buy that dress," Katelyn said to Kitty.
"Aside from the fact that it looks amazing on you and was practically begging you to buy it-"
"Actually you were the one that was begging me to buy it," Katelyn cut in dryly.
"Shush," Kitty ordered, " yes. The dance is why you had to buy it. Now all we need is to get you a date!"
"Who are you going with?" Katelyn asked.
Kitty smiled dreamily.
"Piotr. He asked me last week."
"The Russian hunk? Go Kitty!"
They high-fived and started laughing. Scott and Logan looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I don't understand women," Scott said.
Katelyn put her arm around his shoulder comfortingly.
"It's okay, " she smiled," you're not supposed to."
Suddenly, Professor Quirrel burst through the doors yelling, "Troll! Troll in the dungeon!"
"What the flip?" Katelyn asked confusedly.
"Illusion," Scott muttered.
He stood up and walked over to another table yelling, "Cathy!"
Katelyn drank the last of her orange juice and stood up.
"I'm off to see about a job," she said cheerfully. "Wish me luck!"
"I bet you twenty bucks it takes her a month to find anything," Warren whispered to Kurt.
Katelyn scowled at him.
"I bet you fifty I find one within a week," she challenged.
"You're on!"
They shook on it and she left the dining hall.
"Easy money," Warren said smugly and smiled.
