"This is crazy!" Peitro said angrily as he slammed her Science book. Since the remark Todd said yesterday at lunch he hasn't been bale to get Rogue out of his head. He grabbed his coat and headed downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Mystique asked.

"Out."

"Yo what's his problem?" Todd asked.

"Did you boys tease him in any way?" She asked.

"Well, Todd did yesterday." Fred said.

Mystique shot a look at Todd. "How?"

"Just about how he kept talking about Rogue during lunch."

"He teased Lance about Kitty too." Fred added.

"Shut up!"

Rogue wiped the tears from her eyes and she kept walking. She had packed up everything she could carry and left the mansion. luckily Logan was off on his motorcycle, Ororo and the professor were at a meeting of some sort, and Evan was into the monster movie on the television. She couldn't believe Scott had forgotten about her. he promised to help her, but he goes out with Jean instead. Walking quickly and not really seeing her surroundings she bumped into someone. "Ah'm sorry."

"Rogue?"

"Peitro?" She asked. "What are ya doin` out here?"

"Just taking a walk." He said looking at her bag. "Going on a trip?"

"No."

"Then you must be running away."

Rogue adjusted her bag on her shoulder. "Can ah pass?"

"Not until you tell me."

"Fine, ah'm runnin` away. Ah hate it there."

"Though you liked them and that's why you left us."

"Ah'm not gettin` into an argument with ya right now Peitro."

"Need a place to hide?"

"Like with ya'll?"

"No, once those geeks find out you ran away the first place they'll look is ours."

"Ah don` know."

"It's just a small cave in the middle of the woods, used to go there to think."

"But..."

"No one will know you're there but me." Peitro promised her. "I'll try my hardest to block Jean Grey of Xavier from reading my mind."

Rogue sighed. "Fine."

"Come on."

"That movie was like the best of movies ever." Kitty giggled as she saw someone familiar. "Hi Risty."

"Oh hi." Risty said as she saw Scott with Jean. "Where's Rogue?"

"At the mansion still." Kurt said finishing up his popcorn.

"Aren't you supposed to be with her?" She asked Scott.

"Why would he be with Rogue?" Jean asked confused

"You promised to help her with her English project, didn't you?"

Scott gasped. "I completely forgot."

"Good luck getting her to speak to you now." Risty called after them.

Evan snapped his head up as he heard the door open. "Dude don't do that to me."

"Sorry." Scott said hurrying upstairs and knocked on Rogue and Kitty's door. with no response he went downstairs. "She's not answering."

"Who?" Evan asked.

"Rogue, I forgot I promised to help her with that English project."

"Yeah, she came downstairs asking where you were and went back up to her room."

"I'll get her." Kitty said going up to her room.

Logan chuckled as he came in with Ororo and Xavier. "Funny Chuck."

They heard a scream coming from upstairs and rushed up. "Vhat zis it Keety?"

"She's gone."

"Who's gone?" Ororo asked entering the room and gasped.

"What is it?" The other asked noticing the room was practically half empty.

"Where's Rogue?" Scott asked.
