Mutant Crush - Chapter 8
Kitty was in her room doing Chemistry homework.
"What's the matter Kitty?" Rogue popped up behind her.
"Like what do you mean?"
"You are on question 3 for like a hour now."
"I guess I'm just not ..."
"Something is definitely on your mind. Now tell me?"
"There's nothing. Seriously."
"Oh come on, we've been roommates for a long time. I can keep a secret." Rogue begged.
"Alright it's just that Lance apologized today." Kitty stopped doing her homework.
"Apologized? For what? I thought you two are over."
"Well, apparently he still likes me."
"Oh.. hey Kitty, do you like him?" Rogue was confused.
"Who? You mean Lance? Well... Sort of.... yeah." Kitty answered.
"So? What's your problem?"
"It's Pietro. He likes me too now."
"Kitty, just choose a guy and say sorry to the other one."
"It's not that simple. Pietro has been a sweetheart for the last few weeks to me. I can't hurt his feelings." Kitty explained.
Then Scott's voice appeared behind the door, "Are you guys okay in there?"
"We're just fine Scott, thanks." Rogue replied.
"But Rogue, you'll like seriously promise not to tell a soul?" Kitty's eyes widened.
"Of course."
Next day at school.. Kitty was going to her locker and found Mary-Ann waiting for her. Mary-Ann then said, "Do you like Pietro?"
"Pietro? Why?"
"Because everyone in the school knows that you and Pietro are going out. And now people now say Lance is going out with you too."
"WHAT?"
"So it's just a rumor right?"
"Um..." Kitty hesitated.
"Oh my god, you seriously need to tell me what's going on!" Mary-Ann worried about her friend.
"Alright, but you can't tell anyone."
Kitty then explained the entire story for the second time to her friend, Mary-Ann.
"You've got yourself in a big mess now."
"I know I know. What should I do?"
"I don't know Kitty, I guess this is one of those problems that I can't really help you with."
There was a big silence.
At lunchtime, Kitty had arranged to meet Pietro in private. Kitty walked outside and caught Pietro at the corner of her eye. Standing by the trees, he waited for Kitty patiently. "Hi Kitty."
Pietro came up to Kitty and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Kitty pushed him away slightly and said, "Oh hi Pietro."
"Are we here to spend alone time?" Pietro asked.
"Umm.... Sort of. I also want to explain something."
"What's the matter? Was someone mean to you?" Pietro asked, "If it is, I'll."
"Pietro!" Kitty stopped him. "No, no one was mean to me."
"Oh, I see."
They sat down. Pietro had his arms around Kitty, while kitty felt uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Lance passed by and yelled, "Get your paws off of my Kitty, Maximoff!"
Pietro jumped up, "Your Kitty? She's going out with me, thank you very much."
"No she's not..."
"Lance!" Kitty cut in between them. "Stop it! Just stop it!"
