Mutant Crush - Chapter 12

While at the Xavier Mansion, Pietro and Kitty had just arrived at the front door. Scott and the others stared at Pietro when he followed Kitty in the mansion.

"Guys, we're like not a freak show you know." Kitty finally said.

Nobody said anything and instead, all turned away. Then Rogue said, "Kitty, can I, ya know. Talk to ya?"

"Sure." Kitty stopped.

"In private?" Rogue asked again.

"Ok..." Kitty said, "Pietro, wait for me in my room. It's over there."

So Pietro left and Kitty followed Rogue into the kitchen. Then Kitty asked again, "So, like what's on your mind?"

"WHAT ARE YA DOING?" Rogue asked.

"What? Like chill. Don't yell at me." Kitty said.

"Ok, sorry. Didn't mean to yell at you. Let me try this again." Rogue sighed, "What are you doing with Pietro?"

"Oh that. Well, we got paired off in Career studies class and now we have to do an assignment." Kitty said simply.

"Couldn't you at least change partners?" Rogue asked.

"No. That old Verner wouldn't let me. And trust me, Lance Alvers really really tried to do that." Kitty explained.

"That's right! Lance! What does he think about all this?" Rogue asked.

"He acts like a total jerk. We just came from working with Lance and Mary- Ann. Since Lance couldn't stand me working with Pietro, I left." Kitty explained again.

"Fine fine. Do whatever you want. Just be careful, you never know when you'll fall in love with Quicksilver again." Rogue said.

Kitty laughed, "Sure sure." With that, Kitty left.

Kitty made her way back to her room and Pietro had already started working. They had a big start on their project and soon they just started talking. Kitty said, "You know what, this is such a silly project."

"Yeah I know. Who knows what our careers are going to be." Pietro said.

Kitty laughed. Then Pietro checked his watch and said, "Well, I better go. I have plans tonight anyways."

"Plans? You? When do you start planning?" Kitty was surprised.

Pietro laughed and said, "I only plan for dates."

"A date? Who's the lucky girl?" Kitty asked, not surprised at all anymore.

"Lucky girl? You think whoever goes out with me is lucky?" Pietro's eyes widened.

"Sure, why not. You're a ... handsome guy." Kitty giggled.

Pietro stopped laughing, he didn't say anything.

"Hello? Earth to Pietro?" Kitty then asked again.

"Oh sorry. I zoned out for a second."

"That's okay." Kitty smiled, "So who's this girl?"

"Oh, just some cheerleader." He said.

"You really don't care who you go out with, do you?" Kitty asked again.

"Not really."

Kitty went quiet. She thought about if that was the same scenario when Pietro was with her.

"No, don't get me wrong. I really liked you when I went out with you. But things didn't work out.. So...." Pietro also thought about the same thing.

Kitty still didn't say anything. Still quiet.

Then Rogue came in and said, "Hey Kitty, there's a visitor for you at the door."

"Who is it?" Kitty asked as she stood up.

Pietro stood up too, with his books and coat ready to leave.

"Well, it's umm... 'the jerk'." Rogue was referring to Lance Alvers.

"Him?? Here?? Now??" Kitty asked as she ran to the door.

Rogue nodded.

Kitty opened the door.

"Kitty, I'm so sorry about what happened this afternoon. And...." Lance was interrupted when he saw Pietro appeared behind Kitty. "YOU ARE STILL HERE?"

"What are you trying to say? And yes, Pietro is still here. We were working on our project." Kitty said.

"For how long? Anyways, that's not important. I really want to make it up to you so I want to take you out tonight." Lance continued, "What do you say?"

"No." Kitty refused.

"No? That's it? Just no?" Lance was shocked.

Then Pietro stepped through the door, "I should leave. This is none of my business."

"Bye Pietro." Kitty waved.

"See ya."

Lance turned back to Kitty, "Still no? Why not?"

"I don't have to give you a reason. But if you must know, I'm busy tonight." Kitty said.

"Doing what?" Lance asked again.

"Lance, stop it! You're like driving me totally crazy lately. I just need some time off! Is that too hard to understand?" Kitty was angry again and shut the door loudly.

here, I'm at the point where I have no idea who Kitty should pair up with anymore. It's started as a Lancitty fic, but then I made it into a little bit Kietro. But now I think both pairs are just sooooooooo cute together. So please help me and vote, should Kitty end up with Pietro or Lance?????

Thanks for all the reviews guys ^_^
