Mutant Crush - Chapter 9

"Guys, Please. Stop it!" Kitty screamed at Lance and Pietro.

"But.. But.. I thought we made up yesterday." Lance said quietly.

She didn't reply.

"Kitty, is this true? Is this why you came and talked to me today?" Pietro asked.

"It's like this... it's kind of complicated." Kitty looked down.

"You don't have to explain anything." Pietro figured that Kitty probably didn't want to go out with him anymore. So he stepped back and by using his mutant powers, he ran away.

Kitty felt horrible. She turned around and yelled, "LANCE? How could you do that?"

"Do what?" Lance put his arms around Kitty.

Kitty pushed him out of the way and ran back to the school.

Back in the school, Mary-Ann was at her locker. Kitty walked by and talked to her, "Hey Mary-Ann." Kitty sighed.

"What's wrong?" Mary-Ann asked.

"I can't believe it! I just don't know how guys minds work!" Kitty was frustrated.

"Whoa.. slow down there."

"I was talking to Pietro and Lance came and he told Pietro to get away from me." Kitty explained as she leaned against the lockers and sat down.

Just then, one of the 'dumb-blonde' girls walked by and said, "Hey Kitty, I just wanted to tell you that Pietro and Lance are fighting over you like crazy! Haha."

Kitty made a face. Then Mary-Ann said, "Don't listen to them. They're just lying."

"No they're not. I think they are fighting like crazy. And I just broke Pietro's heart." Kitty almost burst into tears.

"I think you need a time off from all the distractions. Why don't you go back home for the afternoon, I can copy your notes for you." Mary-Ann suggested.

"Really? You do that?"

"Yeah sure, of course." Mary-Ann smiled.

So Kitty went back to the mansion that afternoon. Later, when everyone came home they all asked where Kitty was.

"Keetie, Where were you today?" Kurt asked.

"I wasn't feeling well." Kitty said.

"Is it about Pietro and Lance?" Jean Grey asked.

"NO! Why does everyone ask that?" Kitty freaked out. "Stop reading my mind!"

"But. I .. I.."

Everyone was quiet as Kitty just left and went into her room. Then Scott said, "You should stop reading her mind."

"I didn't read her mind! The whole school is talking about this." Jean said.

"About what? What's happened with Lance and Pietro?" Scott asked.

"Well, I think it's just a rumour. But something about Lance and Pietro fighting over Kitty." Jean explained.

"Maximoff?? And Alvers??" Scott was angry. "I need to give them a piece of my mind!"

"NO Scott, don't." Rogue said strongly.

Everyone stared at Rogue. Then she continued, "What I mean is, Kitty need to deal with this on her own. If we get involve with it, it will only make it worse."

Everyone sort of agreed. Well, everyone except for Scott. He was still determined to talk to Lance and Pietro.

The next day at school Scott started looking for Lance and Pietro. He came across Pietro first and said, "Hey."

"What do you want?"

"I want you to stop bother Kitty." Scott said.

"Bothering? I got dumped. I'm not bothering her." He said, "Now leave me alone."

"Whatever. Just stay away from her." Scott said and left.

Next he came across Lance Alvers. God, I hate this guy, Scott thought. But no matter what, he made an effort, "Alvers."

"Go away Summers."

"I will after you stop bothering Kitty." Scott said.

Just then, Kitty walked by and heard Scott. She was now standing right behind him. "Scott??"

Scott turned around and said, "Oh Kitty!"

"I thought I told you to mind your own business!" Kitty yelled.

"Sorry. But..."

With that, Kitty left. Then Lance went after her. "Hey Kitty, like what is up with that guy?"

"If you are talking about Scott, he's only protecting me." Kitty kept on walking.

"Protecting you? From what?"

"From you. Who else?" She replied.

"Whatever." He said, "Wanna go see a movie tonight?"

"No."

"No?" Lance asked. "Why not?"

"I don't feel like it." This was not Kitty's normal days.

"Okay then. I guess I'll see you in class then." Lance stopped following Kitty.

"Whatever." Kitty rolled her eyes and without saying goodbye. She kept going.
