Lunch, the most beloved and hated time of the day to every red-blooded High School student across the world. Where you gather with your friends and update on the gossip or sit alone and ignore the ridicule that you receive. Choices, choices... seeing as that Risty was gone for the day the latter was probably the best way to go. Sure she knew she could always sit with the other X-Men, but that wouldn't be her.
"Alone it is," she thought out load.
She walked to the nearest empty table and was about to sit down when suddenly Peitro stood before her.
"Hey, don't sneak up on people like that!" Rogue hissed.
"I'm sorry, Rogue. I came over here to ask if you would like to sit with us." Peitro asked slowly. His blue eyes big and his mouth set in an adorable grin.
Adorable... Peitro? "Um... Ah..." She looked at the X-Men's designated table and saw Kurt attempting to distract Allana from starting yet another fight with Scott. Rolling her eyes and looking back at Peitro, "Sure."
"Let me." Before she could react Peitro grabbed her lunch and zipped her over to the other side of the Cafeteria.
"Peitro! Don't do that." Lance scowled at the white haired boy then smiled at Rogue. "Decided to grace us with your presence today?" He pulled out the chair next to him.
She rolled her eyes again and sat down. Peitro took the seat across from her and the three started to eat. Todd hopped up and sat down on the other side of Rogue like it was an everyday thing.
"The X-Geeks being pains?" Peitro grinned.
Rogue shook her head slowly, "No more than usual. Some of them aren't that bad ya know."
"You're right... Like that bat chick, Jasper. She's cool, yo." Todd smiled.
"Or Allana," a voice said from down the table. It was Dante; he didn't like to associate himself with anybody, not even with his teammates. Rogue didn't know much about him except what was relayed through Allana.
"Yeah, any one that beats on Summers is good in my book." Lance punched his fist in his hand. "Kitty's alright. I guess."
"No-way-you-are-so-in-love-with-the-kitten." Peitro teased.
"No," Lance denied embarrassed.
"It's okay, Ah know for a fact that she likes ya. We are roommates ya know." Rogue rubbed Lance's back sympathetically.
Lance smiled at her gratefully. Freddy sat down beside Peitro with his tray loaded to the max with food. She guessed Tabitha was somewhere, not that she minded, the girl kind of annoyed her.
"So, who do you like, Peitro?" Rogue asked looking at him.
"People." He grinned knowingly.
"People? I thought you said-," Todd didn't finish his sentence because Peitro practically flew across the table and on to him.
"Do Ah even want to know?" Rogue turned to Lance.
He shook his head, "Lets just say this person likes someone else."
"Shutup-Shutup-Shutup-Shutup!" Peitro glared at Lance while he stood on top of Todd's poor beaten body.
"Get off of me, yo." He said in a meek voice.
"Oh, sorry, Todd." Peitro sat back down in his own seat.
Rogue leaned down and helped the freshman straighten up. "You okay?"
"Yeah, no thanks to Peitro, yo." Todd tried to seem tough and failed miserably when he noticed no one was paying attention.
Fred left to get his second helping and Lance, Rogue, and Peitro fell into a relaxed conversation about how much school sucked.
Peitro's eyes narrowed suddenly and Rogue looked up to see Scott approaching with Allana hot on his heals. Lance and Todd groaned not in the mood for a fight.
"Rogue, why are you eating with them?" Scott asked when he arrived.
Before she could answer Peitro was already in his face his voice dangerous, "She can eat where she pleases, Summers."
"I wasn't talking to you, Maximoff." Scott was angry, Rogue could tell that much. She just didn't know why. The tension rose as they continued to stand toe to toe.
"Leave them alone, Scott." Allana came up hands on her hips.
"She's fraternizing with the enemy." Scott shot her a scowl and turned back to Peitro.
Allana couldn't just be brushed off with a look; Rogue braced herself.
"Since when was lunch considered fraternizing?" Allana yelled annoyed.
Scott's gaze went from Peitro to Allana to Rogue and pointed at her, "We'll talk about this later." He stalked off almost pushing Allana down in the process. Peitro and Allana looked at each other as if they knew something the others didn't.
"I told him not to come." She finally shrugged smiling at Rogue. "Later girl, I'm sure I'll be getting worse than a lecture from him." She waved to the others and left.
Rogue watched her go then turned to look at the guys. Something was going on, Scott wasn't someone to get all worked up about them hanging with the Brotherhood. He let Lance and Kitty flirt, Jasper and Todd date as short as it was, Dante and Allana hang out, Kurt and Tabitha go places... what was the big deal if she ate lunch with Peitro? No, them. All of it consumed her that she didn't even notice the bell signaling the end off class ring.
"Hey Roguey, better get going." Peitro grinned then ran off. Everyone said their good byes and took their exits.
She shook her head to clear it and went to class. Just get through the day, and then worry about it at home. Yes that was good plan.

To Maria... I'll keep the cussing to a minimum... I forgot to change the rating (sowwy) Any who... why's Scott so ticked anyway? Hmmm... Interesting development. Thanks for those who voted/reviewed. This is fun! Oh btw as much as I want to I don't own the X-Men: Evolution crew. I just own Allana and Dante (Jessie owns Tobias and Jasper) you see if I did, Rogue would get a LOT more airtime and Remy would be in it... Not that I don't love where this story is going of course. Hehe... Later!
