NOTE: This is just some background info for this fic- Outcasts Part 2. Kurt has been friends with Bobby, John, Jubilee, Kitty, Sam, Piotr, and Betsy for about 3 months. He has a close sibling like relationship with Marie and has a crush on Kitty. R&R please. The last chapter/epilogue will be up soon.
"Don't you think you should be studying Saint John?"
Betsy said.
"Could you please not call me that…Elizabeth," John
said with extra emphasis on the Elizabeth part.
"Fine point taken but you know Miss Munroe gives the most
hellish tests of this entire school," Betsy said.
"Yeah sure. Give me a question. Any question," John said as
he put a cheese flavored potato chip in his mouth.
"Ok," Betsy said as she flipped through her history book,
" When did the al-Khalifa family take over Bahrain?" Betsy asked.
"When the hell did we learn that?" John said after a few moments
of thinking.
Betsy rolled her eyes and walked away. "Girls," John muttered
to himself.
Kurt walked into the den to find Jubilee and Bobby playing
Monopoly, Kitty on the computer as usual, and John and Piotr playing a game
on the Playstation 2.
Kurt's gaze lingered on Kitty for awhile. She was so
pretty and the way the sun lit up her chestnut brown hair made her look like
a princess. Kitty seemed to sense his gaze and looked up from the computer
screen to meet Kurt's gaze. She smiled quickly and turned her attention
back to the computer screen.
Kurt was about to walk over when suddenly he felt a presence
behind him.
"Hi sugah. Piotr told me yah want'd to tell me sumthin',"
Marie said.
"Oh jah. Let's go outside," Kurt said. He grabbed Marie's
gloved hand and led her outside. He was the only person besides Logan who
could call her Marie. Everybody else, even the teachers, called her Rogue.
After a few minutes of walking the two found themselves near
the basketball court. Sam and his sister Paige were playing a game
of one on one in the far corner of the court. Paige was one of the youngest
students at the school.
Kurt leaned on the gate and Marie took a seat on the bench
across from Kurt. They sat/stood there for awhile until Marie spoke up. As
she'd gotten older and spent more time at the school she'd gradually
slipped out of her shell and was more blunt and daring with her words. Sometimes
she'd even left Jubilee speechless.
"So yah still like Kitty huh?" Marie asked.
"Vhat? Of course not!" Kurt said.
Marie just glared at him.
"Jah. I kinda like her," Kurt said.
Marie glared at him again.
"Ok. I really, really, really like her but she likes Piotr,"
Kurt said.
"Ah saw her smile at yah when Ah came in. Plus she talks about
yah a lot," Marie said.
"Really?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah. 'Course Ah won' tell yah what she says.
Why don' yah ask her to da dance?" Marie said.
"You can't tell me one little Kitty said?" Kurt asked.
Marie glanced around to see if any kids or teachers were within
hearing distance. Dr. Grey and Ms. Munroe were teaching a group of students
who wanted extra help in science near Ms. Munroe's garden, which was
pretty far out of earshot.
"She thinks yah're cute," Marie said finally.
"I knew it! I'll ask her after lunch. So Marie who are
you taking to the dance?" Kurt said.
"Well Remy's in Nawlings, Bobby's goin'
wit' Betsy, and…..," Marie started.
"Logan is taken," Kurt interrupted her.
"Shut up Kurt!" Marie said jokingly.
"Vell you do like him but it appears that he and Ms. Munroe
are in love," Kurt said.
"Ah know….but who gives a damn! The dance is next week
not tomorrow," Marie said.
"Vell you better hurry up before all the good guys like me
are taken," Kurt said.
Marie burst out laughing then.
"It's not that funny!" Kurt said and then started laughing
himself.
Still laughing Marie got off the bench and started running.
Now that she'd started gaining a little more control over her powers
and became more confident in herself she wore less clothes. With Mr. Summers
and Logan around though few guys dared to say any sleazy pick up lines to
her. She still wore her gloves though.
Kurt yelled, "You can't escape me Marie!" and took off
after her.
There's one last final chapter in this story coming and guess what? It features Gambit (YAY!) but be pre warned that I changed his character a little which is probably what they'll do to him in the movie anyway.
