Chapter 6
Screw Ups
The techno music pounded inside Bobby's brain. He bobbed his head to the beat as he got into his own groove. So far being blind had its advantages. He was already appreciating another culture! It all happened because John his "nurse" had left him hours ago and placed a CD player next to the sleeping boy. Bobby had woke up in his bed and managed to maneuver the head phones over his head. John was not without his sense of humor. He had raided Mr. Summer's CD collection, and put in a random techno band. At first Bobby wanted to call John back and had almost hit the call button, but he couldn't deal with the hassling. John could be a bitch to deal with. So he just continued to listen to the music, and surprisingly he was beginning to enjoy it.
Bobby began bobbing his head, trying to ignore the irritation in his eyes. He placed the CD player down and began to do a little dance. His hands started swaying in the air, and he started shaking his hips while he sat down on the bed. He almost dared to get out of bed when he felt someone grab onto his swinging hands.
"What the…" He fell back on his bed and cursed when his head hit the nightstand.
The person tumbled into the bed with him. He could faintly hear a voice in the background, but the music drowned it out. Trying to roll around, he ended up getting tangled up with the person.
The headphones were yanked from his head and he finally was able to identify the voice. "Get off me you lug! Don't make me fry you!"
He laughed while he tried to untangle himself, but he managed to hit his head again. "Well if you didn't jump in bed with men, Jubes, then this wouldn't have happened." He finally was able to scoot away. "I never knew you wanted to take a tumble with me…OW!" He held his hand to his mouth.
"I always knew there were some sparks between us, Drake." Jubilee laughed.
"Very funny firecracker. You only got me because I can't see."
"Keep saying that. But seriously, I come by to see how you are doing after you tangoed with the book stack, and I find you doing the hula."
"I was dancing!" He shrieked as his face turned bright red at the thought of what he was doing. "Don't you know how to knock?"
"Yes, I think the Prof had a lector regarding how to knock on doors about a month ago. I guess you couldn't hear it over the music."
Bobby propped himself at the end of his bed. "You know if this education thing doesn't work out, you can seriously consider becoming a comedian." His voice dripped with sarcasm.
"Oh take that icicle out of your butt." He felt her move. "How are you feeling? It was a nasty fall you had there, and what's the deal with the bandages?"
"Just a slight headache, which you didn't help with. My eyes kill too. Dr. Grey said something about them being scratched." He put a hand on his gauze. "It sucks."
"Oh, don't worry. The pity thing might get you some action, although it is a drag we don't get to see those big blue eyes anymore."
Bobby laughed. It was great to be visited by his friend. Jubilation Lee was a perfect match to his sense of humor. Even though she was a run away like most of the other kids at Xavier's, she had the same kind of care free look of life that he did. He didn't have any romantic feelings about her, but he loved her like a sister.
"Don't worry so much. I'll be ready to see your ugly mug within a week." He jumped again when he felt the spark of her power. "Ok, I'll behave."
"You better." Her tone changed. "So, you like that Rogue girl right?"
He couldn't speak for a moment. "Why would you say that? We are just friends. Well actually, we aren't even that. She hates me."
"Gosh you are blind. She has the hotts for you. Although she could suck you dry if you touch…and not in a good way." Her voice was serious.
Bobby didn't say anything for a moment. "Stop it. I don't like her. I already have my number one girl. All I do is tutor her."
She touched his shoulder, causing him to flinch. "You are taking a trip down denial. Although I do think you are kind of cute." With the comment she leaned in and kissed his cheek. She lingered for a second and then stiffened. "Oh, hey Rogue. How long have you been standing there?"
Bobby jerked away from his friend. "Rogue?"
Silence filled the room. Finally Jubilee said, "She left. I am sorry Bobby; I didn't mean to screw you guys up."
Lying back down on the bed without any care for where Jubilee was, Bobby sighed, "You did nothing Jubes. There was nothing to screw up."
AN. That doesn't look good. If only Bobby could see. Review! And have a nice day.
