Season 2! Ah yeah, !'m awesome. !'m awesome... *starts chanting that repeatedly.*
Danni and Kurt: JUST GET ON WITH IT!
C.J.: *hides behind Logan* Alr!ght alr!ght! Calm your buttocks
I cheered with everybody else and watched Jean's soccer game. "Yeah, go Jean!" I yelled. We all stood up as the ball was passed to her and... She scored! "Yeah!" we all walked down to her and I ran to her and jumped on her back, making her give me a piggy back. "Congrats Jean." I said. She laughed and I got off. Everybody else walked up to her and I stood back with them. Jock alert, jock alert. I sighed as Duncan walked up and hugged Jean. I rolled my eyes and tuned him out, not caring what he had to say. Kurt, Scott, Kitty and I all piled into Scott's car. Kitty up front and Kurt and I in the back. Scott was listening to some band I didn't know, but they were cool.
"Get real, The Stone Steifers?" Kitty asked. "Their music is so, last millennium." Kurt shook his head.
"Oh, not true." he said. "They rock, big time." I grinned. "Like The Backstreet Boys." Kitty looked at me and I shrugged. "Don't judge me." I said. "Tell her Scott." Kurt finished. He didn't answer.
"Scott?" Kitty called. "Hello." there was a honk behind us. Scott pulled over for the speeding car that had about 12 police cars on it's tail. "Hey!" Scott yelled.
"What's his hurry?" Kurt questioned. I face palmed. "I don't know." Kitty said. "Maybe it's the 12 police cars on his tail." see? What'd I tell ya? "Just a hunch." Kurt unbuckled his seatbelt and stood up as a helicopter flew over us.
"Holy- What did that guy do?" I asked, standing up with Kurt. The dude ran a red light, causing a bus to swerve to the side of the road. Then the bad car ran into the railing of the bridge above it, trying to avoid the cop cars in his way, and dangling over the side above the bus full of kids. We all got out of the car.
"We have to do something!" Kurt said. "No, to many news cameras." Scott said, holding him back.
"But what about those kids?!" Kitty asked. "We can't just leave them there!" I said. The car started to fall.
"Kurt!" Scott called. "I'm on it." he replied. He ported and grabbed the man from the car and then Scott shot the car with his lazer eye stuff, keeping it from hitting the bus. The car burst into flames, the kids evacuated the bus, and the bad man reappeared behind it, near his car. Surprisingly not in flames. Hmm, the reporters are gonna have fun with this one. We walked over and leaned on a wall and Kurt ported next to Kitty. She then grabbed Scott and Kurt's hands and Scott grabbed mine, and she phased us through a wall just as the reporters came around the corner. I shivered. That does feel weird. So very... Very... VE-RY... Weird.
Back at the Institute
We all got out of the car. "You guys are gonna be in trouble." I said. "I approve of your reasoning but we can't use our powers in public."
"Hey what the Prof doesn't know won't kill him." Scott said. I coughed. "But you're forgetting." I said. "The Prof knows EVERYTHING!" Scott flinched.
"Maybe we'd better not mention what happened to anyone, you think?" Kurt asked. I nodded.
"Well we could just keep quiet about it for a while." Kitty said. "Like, say forever." I looked to the front door. The Professor, Logan and Ororo were there. I think they already know. "Or we could blame it all on Kurt." she finished.
"Hey?!" I sighed.
The Next Day at School
Assembles are okay. They get us out of class, and you kinda have an option wether or not to pay attention. But their too loud. And because of my super hearing I think I would explode. I contacted the Professor (mentally of course) and he said it was alright for me to come home. I went to the Office and pretended to be sick. The lady at the counter believed me and called the institute. Told ya I was a good actress. I grabbed my stuff and Logan came and picked me up. I sighed in the car.
"What's the matter squirt." he asked. I looked out the window. "It's nothing important." I said. "Just thinking." he nodded and continued driving. I liked how he knew when to give me my space. It kind of hurt me that Kitty had two admirers now. I saw a quick glance of the future at the assemble and Lance was trying to impress Kitty. Why did they (Lance and Kurt) go to her without even glancing in my direction. It's been like this forever, so I don't know why I'm so upset. Guys would always go for the girl with the curves and makeup. I didn't wear makeup but I did have curves. I just don't want to be liked for how I look. So I wear baggy clothes, and they barely show in my uniform too. Guys don't like girls who act like me. Ann would always tell me that. 'you'll never be pretty enough, so just give up. It's no use.' I looked away from Logan, wiping away a single tear that decided to run down my face.
At the Institute
I lay on my bed, sairing at the ceiling. I sighed. I heard a knock on my door and sighed again.
"Come in." I mumbled. It was Kurt. "Hey." he said. "I heard you came home early today. Are you alright." I nodded.
"Yeah I just didn't want to implode at the assembly." I said. "I was faking when I said I was sick, but now I really feel like crap." I rolled onto my side and looked at him, hoping he didn't see the tear marks on my face. He did.
"Why were you crying." he sat on the side of my bed. I sat up and held my legs to my chest.
"It's nothing, really." I looked away. "Come on I know you, what's the matter?" he put a hand on my shoulder. I looked down and suddenly the floor was very interesting.
"I-I... Like somebody," I said. "And... He likes somebody else. He's my first crush too, so I don't know what I'm feeling. All of this is alien to me. It's just like Ann said," I started to cry again. "I'm not even worth it." I buried my face in my knees and felt him wrap his arms around me. I cried into his chest and tried to stop crying. Having him see me like this was not helping my chances.
C.J.: *debates the thought that just popped into her head and after a few minutes of thinking bounces off the walls in joy.* I think you lovelies will enjoy this. ;)
Kurt POV (Was I right?)
What did Ann do to her? I've never seen Danni like this. Whoever she likes, she must really like. I held her close.
"Don't say that." I said. "Don't even think that." she stopped crying and looked at me. She smiled and I smiled back.
"Thanks, Kurt." she said. "I feel better now." I smiled and gave her a nuggie. "Good." I said. "And now that you're not crying, you have to tell me who you like." she blushed. "W-What? No." I pouted. "Aww, why not? I told you who I like." she grinned and shook her head.
"No you didn't. I guessed." she said. "It was obvious that you liked Kitty. I could tell the day you tried to impress her in the Black Bird." she crossed her arms. "I guessed now you have to guess. And I'm not giving you any hints. And just a warning, I am an amazing actress." I sighed.
"Alright." I said. "Are you gonna go to Jean's game tonight?" she shook her head. "All that crying made me light headed." I grinned. "Okay. I'll see you when we get back."
Still Kurt's POV at the Soccer Game
Everybody was cheering as the names of the players were read off, and I clapped along with everyone else, and even louder when Jeans name was read. The new Principle walked up and started to talk.
"In appreciation of the team spirit that brought us all the way to tonight's championship game, we'd like to present our school mascot, The Bayville Hawk!" we all cheered and they shot off a bunch of fireworks. Danni would not like how loud this was. "Now let the game begin!" we all cheered. Suddenly the announcer stopped talking in the middle of his sentence.
"Scuse me folks." said a familiar voice. Oh that's not good. "Hey can I have your attention up here?" I looked on top of the booth thing that the announcer was in. It was them. We really need a name for them... But we don't have one so I'll just call them what Danni does. Mystiques boys.
"Lance?" Kitty asked surprised. "What's he up to?" Scott asked. Quicksilver ran over and moved a spot light so we could all see Avalanche.
"That's better." he said. "My name's Lance. I also call myself Avalanche. Because I'm a mutant." I glared at him. "That's right. Me and Toad and Blob and Quicksilver here, we're all mutants. Born different, what you might call freaks."
"I can't belive he's doing this!" Kitty said. Danni and Logan are on their way. The Professor said in our minds.
"You see, there's lots of mutants at Bayville High." he said. "Scott Summers over there, he's one." Danni then ran up to us. Logan close behind. "What' the heck is wrong with him?" she yelled. "Is he insane?"
"And so is Jean Gray. Your big soccer star. And most of their pals over at the Xavier Institute. Which is kinda a school for weirdo mutant nerds." Danni growled. "These guys give us a bad name." she said. "Man we're busted big time." Rogue mumbled.
"Now, being mutants means we got these special powers we can use to make little improvements. For instance, we thought this game would be more fun if the goals were further apart." he held out his hand and the ground started to shake. The field split in half and two girls fell into the hole.
"And we figured the Principle outa have a better perspective of his student body. We didn't have time to see what happened next. We all walked past the Professor.
"Sorry Professor X." Scott said. "Cat's outa the bag."
Back to Danni POV... For now.
"Another thing." I heard Avalanche say. "We think that mascot totally reeks." Blob picked up the statue and was probably planing on throwing it, but was hit in the chest by Scott.
"Alright Lance." Cyclops said. "You want it all out in the open, let's put it out there." Lance jumped down.
"I've been waiting for this." he said. They started fighting and Spyke and I took out the cameras. He hit the sat-alight dish. And I punched through the camera.
"Sorry." I said. "But we really have to keep this as quiet as possible." I flipped off the van and Shadowcat phased her hand through the camera and destroyed the tape. After a few minutes of getting people out of the field and having them run away screaming for our efforts, Storm showed up and clouded the sky. She made it rain to put out the fires.
I walked over to Kurt who was carrying a barley conscious Toad. I put a hand on his shoulder and he turned around.
Back to Kurt POV
I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around. I saw Danni. I quickly put down Toad and hugged her. She hugged back.
"I guess... I guess it's over now." she said. I felt her tremble and held her closer. I looked behind her and saw the Professor using his powers.
"Maybe not." I said. "Danni look!" she turned around and saw it too. Then the Professor blacked out.
At the Institute, still Kurt POV
I can't explain why I felt so protective toward Danni today. I've just never seen her like that before. And- back at the field... I didn't want to let her go. Oh-oh god. Now I know how Danni feels. Knowing they like somebody else. It hurts because... I-I like Danni.
