Mutant Crush - Chapter 7
God, I hate my life! Lance slammed his locker door.
Everyone in the hall turned to look at him.
"WHAT?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL STARING AT?" Lance yelled.
Everyone turned away, except for Kitty.
"What's wrong Lance?" Kitty asked nicely.
"I'm just fine Kitty, why don't you go cry to your boyfriend." Lance was obviously not fine.
"My boyfriend?" Kitty laughed, "Who?"
"Pietro Maximoff! That's who."
"Are you jealous?"
"Why would I be jealous? In fact, I'm happy for you and Pietro." Lance hated when someone else is right.
Kitty looked at him curiously.
"Because I have no more feelings for you. So you can just leave me alone from now on!"
Kitty's heart was broken. She was shocked. Then ran away with tears in her eyes.
On the other hand, Lance felt awful. I hope that wasn't too harsh on her, oh no, I just made pretty kitty feel horrible. I have to find her and apologize to her.
With that, Lance searched the school. He went up and down the hall, and when he finally found Kitty in the cafeteria. She was crying her eyes out with Pietro beside her. Pietro had his arms around her. Lance left the cafeteria angrily.
For the entire week, Lance tried to talk to Kitty alone, in private. But every time he tried, something always came up. First, he tried to apologize but she wouldn't give him a chance. Then he tried to beg for forgiveness, it seemed to work. But Kitty still wasn't sure.
Pietro and Kitty became very good friends. They even went out a few times too. Lance was furious with Pietro, but did nothing about it. So he decided to just stop thinking about Kitty for a while. Unfortunately it didn't work.
One day after school. Lance tried to talk to Kitty again. "Um. Kitty, do you like Pietro?"
"Yes. I do."
"Like him more than just a friend?" He looked away.
"Maybe."
"Do you love him?"
"What's wrong with you? Like, why are you asking me all this? This is pointless. Like I shouldn't be talking to you like this." Kitty freaked out.
"It's just a question."
"Why? Why are you like asking me all this?"
"Because I want to go out with you. That's why!"
Kitty was confused. First he said he hated me. Now this? What's going on in his mind? Kitty wondered. Then she said, "Oh."
"So will you?"
"I'm.. I'm like totally not sure."
"Not sure? Remember what fun we had before? I still want to have that."
"But... It's all different now. That was the past." Kitty wasn't sure.
"Past? Forget about Pietro."
"Forget about Pietro? He is my friend now. He is sweet, nice looking, and very comforting." Kitty yelled.
"If he is all that, why don't you just go have fun with him them." Lance was getting annoyed again.
"Cuz.... you know what? I will. I will go have fun with Pietro. And not you." Kitty knew she didn't love Pietro as much as she did for Lance.
Kitty walked away.
Lance suddenly grabbed her soft wrist and pulled towards him gently.
"Let go of me!" Kitty struggled.
"Listen to me. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been a jerk all this time. But I just want you." Lance explained softly.
Kitty saw in his eyes that he did mean it.
"Me too."
"You do? So you will go with me instead of Pietro?" Lance questioned again.
"Yes, but I..."
"Yes? Yes is all I want now."
Lance was so happy. Kitty felt bad by turning him down so she said, "Okay."
Lance hugged her tightly and together they talked for a long time that day....
