Mutant Crush - Chapter 3

As Kitty walked to school that day, she thought about whom Mary-Ann might pair her up with. She got happier as she thought about it. Then at school, Mary-Ann said, "Guess what Kitty? This guy is totally awesome!"

"Really? Like, what's his name?"

"Pietro."

"Pietro? You mean Pietro Maximoff?"

"You know him too?"

"Just a little." Kitty was having second thoughts about this. Naturally, she couldn't stand Pietro or Quicksilver. He is like totally annoying, Kitty thought, how could Mary-Ann find him 'totally awesome'.

"So? What do you think?"

"Great!" Kitty said it without thinking. It's not that big of a deal, Kitty thought to herself again, after all it was only Pietro.

"Alright! I already asked Lance and Pietro and we're going tomorrow night." Mary-Ann was so happy. "Can you make it?"

"Of course I can, like totally."

"Perfect, I got to go now Kitty, I'll see you in class." Then Mary-Ann ran off.

The next night, Kitty was dressing up in her room for her date with Pietro. The thought of that just made Kitty feel sick.

"Where are you up to Kitty?" Kitty's roommate, Rogue asked.

"To a double date." Kitty sighed.

"Why so depressed?"

"A double date with Pietro."

"Pietro? Pietro Maximoff? Why would you do that?"

"A friend of mine set us up and she's going with Lance."

"Lance Alvers?"

"Yeah."

"Lance, as in you ex. ?"

"Yeah."

"Oh Kitty, why are you going then?"

"I don't know anymore."

"Kitty, I know you like Lance."

"I do not!" Kitty was angry that Rogue accused her. She ran out to the front door and saw Pietro, Lance, and Mary-Ann waiting for her.

Pietro's eyes widened, "KITTY? I'm going on a date with Kitty Pryde?"

Like I want to, Kitty thought. Instead she just smiled.

"But.. but... you and Lance are.."

"Let's get going already will ya." Lance was getting impatient.

Kitty got in the back of the car with Mary-Ann. She noticed that Lance wasn't laughing or anything. Pietro was still shocked by her and she had too much things flowing in her head. The only one who was happy was Mary- Ann.

"So where you guys wanna go?" Pietro finally asked.

"Anywhere is fine." Kitty answered.

Mary-Ann agreed with Kitty.

"Lance?" Kitty asked.

"Huh?? What? Oh ya, anywhere is fine." Lance was obviously not paying attention to anyone.

Finally they decided to go watch a movie.
