"Thanks for everything, Freddy," said Maddie.
"No problem."
"Sit with me?"
"Yeah!"
Jean watched them sit at a table together with a smile.
"I don't think it was a good idea to introduce them to each other," said Scott.
"Fred's not that bad. And how can you say that? They look happy together."
"Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggg!"
Jean, Scott, Kurt, Amanda, Ray, and Tabitha looked at Evan as he sat down and let out an aggravated noise.
"Something wrong?" asked Scott.
"Maximoff ditched English and Laura went with him!"
"I'm not surprised," said Tabitha.
"Vhy?" asked Kurt.
"Laura totally has the hots for Speedy."
"She does not!" shouted Evan.
"She does. And you have the hots for her," said Tabitha, smirking.
Evan blushed.
"Speak of the devil," said Ray.
Laura was dragging Pietro over to their table.
"Laura, they don't want me there!"
"Who cares? I want you there!"
When they reached the table Laura said, "Hey, guys! Pietro's going to sit with us."
"No he's not!" yelled Evan. "There's no room!"
"Sure there is. Scoot over."
"No! There's no room for him! You can stay, Laura, but he has to go!"
Laura glared at Evan. "Well, if he's not welcome, then I'll leave too."
"No," said Pietro. "It's okay, Laura, really. I'll sit somewhere else. See ya later."
Pietro went to sit with Wanda, Rogue, and Risty.
"What's your problem?" Laura snapped at Evan.
"Laura, he's the enemy!"
"Just because he got you sent to jail about a year ago and he's better then you in class doesn't mean you can say he's a bad guy and tell me not to see him!"
"He's done other things then just send me to jail."
"He betrayed his own team," said Scott.
"Only to save them," said Tabby. "Wanda told me so."
"See? He's not bad," said Laura.
"You two seem to have gotten real close in the short time you've known each other," said Jean.
"Yeah," said Amanda. "You have a crush on Pietro or something?"
"Uh...," said Laura, feel awkward.
"You do!" said Tabitha. "Not that I blame you. Who can resist a hottie like Speedy."
"Tabby!" exclaimed Ray.
"Relax, Ray. I'm not interested in him." She gave her boyfriend a peck on the lips. "Besides, I'd never steal someone elses boyfriend."
"Pietro is not my boyfriend!" exclaimed Laura, blushing.
"But you wish he was, don't you?"
"Laura?" said Evan.
Everyone looked at her. She looked down, her face red.
"I think we have our answer," said Tabby.
"So," said Scott. "Evan told us you and Maximoff ditched class."
Laura glared at Evan.
"You won't tell Logan, will you?"
"Not if you tell us what you two did," said Jean.
"Okay, I'll tell you."
They were all eager to heard. Especially Evan.
"He was teaching me how to sing."
"That's all?"
"Yeah."
"How vas it?" asked Kurt.
"It was fun. He's a really good teacher."
"I bet you a an amazing singing voice," said Evan.
"He said I had the voice of an angle."
"He did? He must like you if he said that," said Amanda.
Evan scowled.
'Great,' thought Evan. 'Laura likes Maximoff and now he likes her back! I can't let them get together! Laura shouldn't be with someone like him.'
While everyone had lunch and talked, Laura was looking at Pietro.
From his table, Pietro was looking at Laura.
"You just gonna stare at her the whole time, sugar? asked Rogue.
Pietro snapped out of it. "Huh?"
"You were staring at Laura."
"Oh."
"Looks like someone's crushed," said Risty.
Pietro blushed.
"This never happened to me. I've been with so many girls, but I never felt anything for them."
"There's a first for everything, sug," said Rogue.
"Yeah."
"Wanda, you going to join us, or daydream about Kurt?" asked Risty.
"Huh?" said Wanda. "I wasn't-!"
"Yes you were. Don't deny it."
Wanda sighed.
"You can't keep doing this to yourself. Tell him how you feel."
"But he has a girlfriend."
"Not for long."
"What do you mean?" asked Pietro.
"I heard the Seftons were moving."
"They're moving?"
"Yeah," said Rogue. "It's true. Amanda said her parents don't think it's safe here, so they're moving to New Jersey in a few weeks."
"Poor Kurt," said Pietro. "But the good news is Wanda can start dating him."
"Pietro!"
"Ah wouldn't mind," said Rogue. "Ah think it would be great."
"And you, darling," Risty said to Pietro. "Have to get together with Laura. You two seem made for each other. Plus you don't want to be the olny one with out a girlfriend. All your friends have on. Lance has Kitty." She pointed to the table Lance and Kitty were at. Kitty sat on Lance's lap. They were making out. "Fred has the Maddie girl. Even little Toddy has a girlfriend."
"And they all might have to dump their girlfriends if Mystique comes back," said Pietro.
"Who cares what she says," said Rogue. "She doesn't understand love. She's heartless."
Risty frowned. Only Pietro noticed.
"That's not true. Sure she's a lot of things, but she's not heartless. She loves you and Kurt very much. She'd do anything for you both. The only reason she sent you to live with Irene for five years and left Kurt with the Wagners was so you two would be safe. Yeah, she did a lot of bad things, but they were all out of love. And you can't really be that mad at her and hate her that much. She's your mom. Yeah, she's not you biological mom, but she's your mom non the less. My dad did a lot of terrible things to me and Wanda, but I still love him. I probably shouldn't, but I do. Sometimes, for some people, it's hard to stop loving people even when they treat you like crap."
"Oh, don't worry," said Wanda. "It gets easier with practise."
They all laughed.
"Ah guess you're right, Pietro," said Rogue.
Risty smiled.
"That was a nice thing to say about her, Pietro. You must have been her favorite."
"Oh, I don't think so."
'You are now,' thought Risty.
"Oh, look," said Wanda, boredly. "It's Frenchie."
Leaning on a tree was Remy LeBeau AKA Gambit.
"Ah thought he was from New Orleans," said Rogue.
"He is," said Pietro. "He's not French. He's French-decent and New Orleans. That's why he has a French name and accent. But he doesn't care if people him Frenchie."
"He's okay," said Wanda. "But sometimes he can be annoying. Like when when he acts cocky and speaks in the third person."
"Tell me about it," said Pietro. "But he's better than Pyro."
"Oh yeah."
"Rogue, is he the one who calls you chere?" asked Risty.
"That's him."
"You be careful when your with him. He seem dangerous."
"Don't worry, Rist," said Pietro. "He would never hurt Roguey. He cares about her too much. If he didn't he would be flirting with a different girl. One he can sleep with. And do more then sleep."
"Shut up, Tro!" yelled Rogue, punching him in the arm.
Pietro laughed, holding his arm.
"Jerk," said Rogue, smiling.
"Just playing around," said Pietro.
Rogue truned to look at Gambit. He smiled and winked at her. She smiled a little.
"What do think he wants?" asked Wanda.
"I think he wants to talk to me," said Pietro. "I'll be right back."
That's it for now. Good? Bad?
I need at least one review to update.
