Mutant Crush - Chapter 14

The day after the school dance, Kitty was relieved from having a wonderful night. She went to all her classes like on a typical school day, but something was different. Kitty did not get the emotional crises that day as she got on the last couple of days. She felt good at first, but then slowly it turned into curiosity. After just one day, everything seems to be back to, almost, normal. 'Strange, very strange' Kitty thought as she walks out of school at the end of the school day.

She thought hard, real hard. Kitty then suddenly noticed that she did not see Lance Alvers the entire day. 'Is he not at school today?' Kitty thought, 'No, that can't be it.' Then she gasped, 'Is he avoiding me?' Kitty quickly shook her head to get rid of the horrible thoughts.

'And what about Pietro, where has he been all day?' Kitty wondered again. Just as she turned the corner, she saw Pietro Maximoff. And he was not alone. Pietro was holding some other girl's hand and walking the opposite direction from her. 'I guess he's back to normal.' Kitty thought, then somehow she felt different. Maybe it was jealousy, 'No. That can't be it. It can't be jealousy. I mean its just way to weird, right?'

"KITTY!!!!" A loud voice struck her thoughts.

She quickly turned around.

It was Scott in his car along with Kurt and Evan, "Finally. I've been calling you 5 times now. Do you want a ride home?"

Kitty nodded and ran in the car.

"So Kitty, what were you thinking so hard about?" Scott asked as he was driving.

Kitty wandered off into her own little world in her head, once again. Not noticing that Scott was talking to her.

"Keetie?" Kurt waved his hand in front of her face. And snaped his fingers.

"AH!!" Kitty jumped, "What? Like, what's going on?"

All of them laughed except for Kitty, whom was still lost in her world.

It was already evening time back at the X-Mansion when Kitty finished all her homework. She flatly fell back to her bed in relief. Staring at the plain colored walls as her mind fell blank. Then, out of nowhere, she asked herself, "Why is the wall in like such a boring color?"

"What did you SAY?!" Rogue yelled unnoticeably as she took off her headphones. "Oops, too loud."

"Huh?! What? Nothing. I was just." Lost back to her train of thoughts, then quickly snapped back, ".just talking to myself."

"Umm. okay." Rogue put her cd player aside.

"I was thinking." Kitty continued, "thinking whether I should call Lance."

Rogue turned around, "Why? What for?"

"If he's okay or not, he wasn't at school today. Or at least, I didn't see him." Kitty explained.

"Some kid said he was sick." Rogue recalled back to her homeroom class this morning.

"Sick? Then I should call." Kitty picked up the phone.

"No. Don't call. I mean he's probably not sick." Rogue stopped her, "People use that excuse to get out of school, ya know."

"Oh." Kitty said quietly, "But.."

"Give it a rest for today. I mean you can always call tomorrow." Rogue suggested.

"I suppose." She thought about for a moment, "You're right. I can always call tomorrow."

Kitty flopped back onto her bed; staring at the ceiling, the old, plain looking ceiling again. Rogue had left the room for the washroom and she didn't even notice. Logan walked by, strangely looking at Kitty's room. Then kept walking, shaking his head and grunted and mumbled to himself. "Teenagers these days, you never know what's going through their head.

A/N: A real short chapter, I know. A real boring chapter too. Anyways, I'm just getting back on track from not writing this story for a couple of months. Please review, even though not much is happening. I'm still struggling to get the plot straight for the final catastrophe. Well, Ta-ta for now!
