The final bell, the savor to all who hated school, and the time for racing to the doors to get out of the living hellhole. It wasn't that she fully despised school, it was just the day had been long, confusing, and she just wanted it to end. Go home; listen to more bickering, got to bed. Good plan. Do not think of arrogant speed demon. Do not think of arrogant speed demon. No he is not there, he's not there. This was not what she needed. There he was in all his glory, Peitro Maximoff, in front of her locker. Where were Scott and Allana when you needed them? Had they been in Gym and Drama? No, this wasn't looking good. She didn't want any more confusing things to happen today. Stupid, arrogant, gorgeous, lovable, Peitro... gorgeous... lovable... Peitro? Think of Scott, think of Scott. This wasn't working.
"Hey, how are you?" Peitro asked moving aside so she could get into her locker.
"Ah'm good... sorta." She replied. Rogue suddenly couldn't recall her combination.
"Sorta? Did that jerk, you call a leader do something?" Peitro asked concern filled his voice. She finally got her locker open.
She smiled slightly and looked at him. He was casually leaning against the lockers his arms folded. "No. It's been a long day."
"Cause you know, if he did do something, I'd have to kill him." He was grinning but his eyes had the same worry.
"Oh, since when did you become so protective?" She cursed herself inwardly. She was flirting with Peitro.
He pretended to think, "Since now. Let me walk you home."
She smiled again, "Alright." Switching her books and slamming her locker shut she started walking.
Outside she found Logan and the others waiting. She didn't know whether to be surprised or not. She walked over, Peitro behind her to tell Logan she was going to walk home. He shrugged and quickly left.
"This isn't on your way... why do ya wanna walk me home?" Rogue asked when they started walking in the direction of the institute.
He shrugged, "There are other guys that like you... why do you like Scott?"
She was baffled. Since when did it become common knowledge that she had a thing for Scott? "I don't know... what other guys like me?" That was another thing, she didn't want any one to like her, and she couldn't be liked. What would happen if she got close to someone?
He grinned and ran a hand through his hair, "Now that would ruin my fun..." The subject was dropped after that as they moved on to topics of music and movies. Rogue couldn't help but think about it. What did he mean... other guys?
When they arrived at the entrance to the institute Peitro brought it up again.
"You don't scare me, Rogue." They were facing each other and he carefully placed a hand on her covered shoulder. "You can't stay locked up, and ignore your heart forever you know." His eyes bore into hers almost searching for something. She wanted to fall into his arms and cry about how right he was. Wanted him to stroke her hair and soothingly tell her that it'd be okay and he'd be there. She stood strong. She couldn't break down, not in front of Peitro. She looked away from him.
"Thanks for walking me home, Peitro." She whispered and turned away.
"I mean it, Rogue." He said from behind her.
She just shrugged out of his grasp and left him standing there. This was not what she needed. She could almost feel herself falling for him. Stand strong she told herself, stand strong.
Walking inside the mansion she found the usual zoo of activities, yet Scott and Allana were still absent. Worry replaced her thoughts of Peitro. She had expected to find Scott and Allana in the Common's Area bickering while they waited for her. Where could they be?
"Jasper, where's--," the African-American girl cut her off and pointed in the direction where the Blackbird was housed. Rogue nodded and headed that way ignoring the others.
In the garage area she found Scott and Allana tossing sponges and wax rags at each other while laughing and tossing back insults. Rogue started to giggle at the sight of her two friends soaked and covered with soap and wax.
"You both look ridiculous." She stood a few feet away from them. They had stopped their sponge war and turned to look at her. She kept laughing.
They shared a mischievous look. "What do you think, Scott?" Allana asked tossing a sponge up and down.
"Lets do it." He was similarly tossing a sponge. Rogue was getting suspicious.
"Don't," she laughed backing off figuring out what they were planning. Before she could reach the door she was being bombarded with soaked sponges and rags. She was ready to kill. She stopped fuming when she saw something that she thought she never see. Allana and Scott dying with laughter collapsed in each other's arms. She just had to laugh.
"Ya both are so dead." She grabbed a few sponges and started tossing them at the two. This started another war that now included Rogue.
When Rogue went to bed that night, no thoughts of who she liked plagued her. She just giggled about the fun her friends had soaking each other with soaping water and wax. All through dinner one of them would start laughing launching the other two into a giggle fest as if they shared the greatest joke in the world. This thoroughly annoyed everybody at the table. Rogue giggled quietly as to not awaken Kitty till she fell into a peaceful sleep. Right then, to Rogue, life was good.

It took me a while to figure out this chapter... I love it though. Wow some of you really want Scott and Allana to hook up? Hehe... Y'all are just saying that so I'll put Peitro and Rogue together. Maybe I will... then again... maybe I won't.... hehe... We'll just have to see. I suppose I'll make another fic where Allana just goes around playing cupid with everyone. Btw... do y'all like Allana or is she just annoying??? I hope you guys are really enjoying this... Cause you haven't seen anything yet!!! Hehe... gotta love being a writer... Later!
