Chapter Three: The painful hit.
It had been two weeks since school had started and the teachers at Bayville High were dishing out homework as if it was a cruel sport. After one homework filled day Kurt dragged his overflowing backpack towards his jeep, which was the same color of blue as his fur. He had started the engine and was about to pull out towards the street when he heard someone calling his name. Looking up he saw Fiona dragging an equally heavy looking backpack towards him. "You need a ride?" He asked looking around then `porting out to help her load the bulging bag into the back of his jeep. "Yeah. Scott already left." Fiona replied sighing. "It's gonna cost ya." Kurt smiled his famous evil little smile trying to hold down a laugh at the look of annoyance and dread on Fiona's face. "Ah no. How about you give me a ride out of kindness and generosity?" Fi said uncurling her tail from under the back of her shirt and stroking the bottom of Kurt's chin with it as she walked past him towards the passenger side of his jeep. Kurt laughed even harder then ported to the other side of the jeep and opened the door bowing. He tried to put on an English accent said; "Your carriage awaits ma lady." "Why thank you kind sir." Fiona accepted his hand and stepped up into the 'carriage'. Kurt teleported into the drivers seat and buckled up. After a few seconds of silence both broke out laughing hysterically. "Ma lady?" asked Fiona looking over at her laughing driver. "I watched the Great Mouse Detective last night. It seemed fit to say." Kurt answered. "You are so weird." "Don't think I haven't seen you watching Dumbo." "Hey I like that movie. Pink elephants rock!"
They finally made it home and received stares from several people when they came in laughing. "I think all the homework is causing them to slip slowly into insanity." Jean muttered to Scott. "Yup." He replied.
Dinner came and went and Fiona still had not finished her homework. She went down to the wreck room for a break to find Kurt buried in a pile of books. "Having fun?" She questioned sitting down next to him. "Ja... loads." He said crumpling up a piece of paper and throwing it over his head. "Need any help?" "If you can spare any." "What cha on?" "Studying for Ms. McDaniel's English test, Mrs. Reed's science exam, Mr. Andrews' algebra test. All of these are tomorrow." Kurt glared at his books. He turned his holo- watch off ran his hand through his hair. "I know I haven't even started studying." A few minuets of silence passed and suddenly Kurt felt someone poking his left arm. "What are you doing?" He said raising an eyebrow and staring at the wall ahead of him. "You're so fluffy!" Fiona had taken a rubber band out of her hair and pulled Kurt's hair into a ponytail then played with the fur on his arm again. "Ja I know. And you're so scaly." "I hate having scales." "Why?" "Go ahead feel my arm." Kurt ran a finger up Fiona's forearm. Going with the scales it was smooth but when he went the opposite way he almost immediately cut his finger. "Ouch." Kurt muttered sucking on his cut finger. "See what I mean. You're lucky fluff-boy." "Well they're nice going one way. Just don't get on their bad side." Kurt said trying to cheer her up. "You know what? I think we would get this studying done a lot faster if we studied together." "Sure. But it's getting cold down here, my room ok?" "Fine by me."
Fiona helped Kurt gather up all his books. They started trudging up the stairs then halfway up looked at each other and started laughing. Kurt placed his spare arm on Fiona's shoulder and teleported up to the rest of the way into Fiona's room. They hit the books and were up till about three in the morning studying.
Kurt woke up still in Fiona's room covered in a blanket. It looked like someone had tried to move him but couldn't. Sitting up and scratching his he looked around. The bedroom door opened and Fiona walked in carrying a handful of toast and a glass of milk. "Hey there sleepy head. Here's the remains of breakfast." She greeted happily. "I tried waking you up but you only whacked me with your tail and mumbled something about frogs and butter." She sat down the toast and milk next to him then turned and went over to her bed. "Thanks." Kurt said sleepily. He took a bite of toast and drained the glass of milk in one gulp. "You better hurry. You'll be late for school." Kurt looked at his watch, choked and ported off to his room.
He got dressed and opened his door to go downstairs and saw a long finned tail flick past his door. Following the tail to its owner he saw Fiona. She was fiddling with something but what he couldn't tell.
Slowly Kurt crept up behind her. Right before he jumped Fiona turned around and questioned, "Do you have any idea how to set this?" Fiona held up her holo-watch. The time blinking on it read 12:00 PM. He glanced at his watch and saw it was really 7:45 AM. "Um, ja. I think so." He took the watch, set it, and then handed it back. "Thanks." Fiona replied smiling and putting on the watch. She pressed the blue button and turned into a pale skinned girl with black eye and hair that Kurt saw every day at school. "So did you know I was there the whole time?" He asked leaning against the wall. "You're really loud." "Oh really? Look whose talking Ms. Blare- Her- Radio- While- We- Were- Trying- To- Study." "I did not!" Fiona said crossing her arms. "What was it last night? Bon Jovi? You sang, too. My little ears just can't take it." "Augh! You just don't know talent!" She smirked and he knew something bad was about to happen. She flicked her eyes over at the wall. As Kurt looked he saw he wasn't leaning against the wall but her tail. She jerked it back quickly causing Kurt to fall.
Fiona picked up his head with her tail, winked, and let it drop making him bite his tongue. She turned and walked away as her tail curled up under her shirt. "Oh you're gonna get it." Kurt hissed to himself. "As if!" A voice called from around the corner.
Kurt `ported back to Fiona's room, grabbed his book bag, and ran to his jeep. He'd gotten his driver's license and enjoyed not having to hitch a ride from Scott or Jean everyday. He `ported into his jeep and started the engine. "Hello!" Kurt jumped so high that his knees hit the steering wheel. He looked up and saw Fiona smirking down at him. "Where did you... How did you?" He stammered. "I'm just special." She slipped down through the roll bars with the grace of a cat. Kurt began to drive but it wasn't till he got past the gate and onto the road that he broke the silence. "Get out of my car." He growled looking at her. "Aw, wassa matter? It Kurtty still mad about this morning?" "Ja." "Watch the road." "What? Oh!" He swerved to miss an oncoming car. "Go away." "We're kind of driving at the moment. Why would I want to leave and risk injury or death?" "You're too distracting." "Ha! You haven't seen anything yet!" Fiona began to sing, "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, especially Kurt, especially Kurt. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves and this is how it goes. Dum, dum, dum." She sang this several times before Kurt said, "Stop." "Especially Kurt, especially Kurt." "Stop!" "I know a song," "STOP!" He yelled covering her mouth with his hand. "Wazzadaroada." Fiona mumbled. "What? Hmm? Can't hear you?" He laughed looking over at her. She rolled her eyes then bit his hand. "OW!" "Now where has not watching the road gotten us?" "Huh? Oops!" Once again he had to swerve to miss another car.
Finally they arrived at school, and still in one piece. "Thanks for the ride and er... The twenty. BYE!" Fiona called over her shoulder running towards science. "What?" Kurt mouthed looking around, then felt his pockets and found his money missing." FI!" He yelled but the late bell ringing drowned it out.
The rest of the day continued as usual until third period (now the trouble starts). Everyone had heard about the school dance that was coming up; so everyone was starting to ask that special someone.
Fiona ran out of class just as the bell rang. She had just heard about the dance from a friend and could think of no one better to ask then Kurt. She knew he was in History so headed over in that direction. As she rounded the corner to his classroom she froze upon hearing, "So, ah Kurt are you taking anyone to the dance yet?" Asked Amanda. Fiona backed up and hid behind the wall listening. "No not yet. You?" Kurt replied. A short silence followed before they both said as one, "I was wondering," They trailed off looking embarrassed. "You first." Said Kurt. "No you." Insisted Amanda. "Ok.... Um... I was wondering is you would.... Er go to the dance with me?" He stammered. "Sure! I'd love too!" "Cool! Pick you up at your house around eight?" "It's a date!"
Fiona slid down the lockers, scraping her back along the locks, to the floor. She bit her bottom lip to hold back the tears that had filled her eyes. She felt completely crushed. Like something took her heart and hammered it flat. She, telling no one of coarse, had like Kurt since the first time she met him.
Chapter Four: Jealously and the Cold Shoulder.
Slowly Fiona stood up and walked to lunch. She sat down next to Evan, Scott, and Rouge without getting anything to eat.
Kurt bounced into the lunchroom as light as a feather. He'd never been SO happy! He saw Evan, Fiona, Scott, and Rouge then ran to sit with them. "You look happy." Said Evan glancing at him. "Guess what! I'm going to the dance with Amanda!" As soon as Kurt said this Fiona stood up and stalked off. "What's up with her?" "Don't know." Scott answered.
They rest of the day went like this, where ever Kurt went Fiona would leave, whenever he asked her something she'd ignore him completely or be sarcastic.
At the end of the day Kurt went out till his car still happy. But he couldn't stop wondering what was wrong with Fi? He saw her walking out of the building so he waved. She ignored him. Getting frustrated Kurt ran over to her. "You, ah, wanna ride home?" He asked. "No. I'll walk." She replied coldly. "It's over five miles!" "So? You wanna try and stop me?" "What's wrong?" He yelled from behind her. "Nothing!" She called not even looking back. Kurt teleported in front of her, blocking the way once again. "Move it Kurt!" "No! Not to YOU tell me what's your problem!" "Augh! YOU!" She screamed pushing past him and running in the direction of the Institute. "Me? What did I do?"
Once at home Fiona went straight to her room. She got in and slammed the door, turning on her radio. Hearing the slam Kurt walked towards Fiona's room. He'd been home for about two hours waiting for her. He knocked on her door then said, "Fi? It's me can I come in?" "Fiona is not in at the moment! Please go away and never return!" Yelled Fiona's cold voice. "Please? I left my math book in there. Remember from when we were studying?" "Cha. How could I forget." She muttered before getting up and finding his book. Kurt heard her unlock the door then opened it. She shoved the book at him but before she could slam the door he placed the book, held by his tail, in between the door and the frame so it could not close. "Move your tail Kurt! Don't think I won't crush it!" "Come on what's the matter? You can tell me?" He said trying to give her a sincere look. Fiona leaned in so that their faces were mere inches apart. "No I can't." She did a cheesy smile then slammed the door hard on his tail. "OW!" He yelped not actually thinking she would. He teleported out from in the door and examined his wounded tail. Seeing no real damage he turned and jumped when Rouge, who was standing right next to him, said, "That went well." Getting an idea Kurt put on his best puppy dog eyes and walked over to Rouge. "Sister of mine who I love so much?" He pleaded. "No." "You don' even know what I want. How can you say no?" "What do you want?" "Would you ask Fi what's wrong. I think I did something but I don't exactly know what." "Aw, I guess so."
Rouge walked over to Fiona's door and knocked. "It's Rouge. Lemme in." The door opened, Rouge stepped in, and it shut. "Why are ya bein so mean to mah brother?" She asked sitting down on Fiona's bed. "I'm not being mean to him." Fi protested. "You walked home, slammed the door in his face, left him at lunch. That sound's like the cold shoulder. What did he do this time?" "Nothing. I'm just not in a good mood." "Did this spontaneous bad mood start at lunch?" "Yes." "Or when Kurt asked Amanda to the dance?" Fiona stared at Rouge with her mouth half-open. "I thought your mutant ability was taking others powers not mind reading." Fi groaned leaning backward onto her bed. "I didn't read your mind, I saw you next to the lockers. Were you going to ask him?" "No I was just walking to lunch." "Lunch is in the opposite direction." "Fine! I was going to ask Kurt!" "Do you like him?" "No.. I mean yes! But he obviously doesn't like me so not anymore!" "He doesn't not like you back he just doesn't know, Fi. He's a guy give em a break. They don't understand things, plus having an X-gene must make it a little harder up here." Rouge knocked on her head and smiled. "And you're supposed to be a Goth." "Well I have my kind moments." Rouge frowned a little then asked, "Why don't you tell him how you feel?" "WHAT!? Are you crazy? NO WAY!" "If you don't I will." With that Rouge stood up and left. Leaving Fi staring after her and thinking, This very, very, VERY bad.
It had been two weeks since school had started and the teachers at Bayville High were dishing out homework as if it was a cruel sport.
