He was asleep, right? He wasn't standing by the soda machines with the girl of his dreams... Yeah, dream girl. It's another dream, he told himself. Wait a second. His dreams usually didn't last this long. In fact, hadn't Allana hit him in Art? So he was awake. Better pinch him self to make sure. Ow... he rubbed his arm. Yup, awake. But, was that a good thing?
"Peitro." He looked up to see her still standing there, waiting patiently. He melted. He didn't know what he was doing.
"Oh, sorry. Just trying to sort something out." Peitro Maximoff had just lost his confidence. He tried to bluff it by running a hand through his already perfect hair and putting on his best "love me" grin. "So, Rogue, today's Friday."
She nodded, "Yeah, what 'bout it?"
He took a deep breath mentally, "You doing anything tonight?" He casually leaned against the soda machine closest to him, watching her.
Rogue brushed aside her white bangs and smiled. "Maybe. Why are ya askin' me out?"
"I could be. You interested?" Say yes, his mind screamed. Keep it together, Peitro, he demanded.
"Depends," she tilted her head slightly, her green eyes playful, but her smile was simple.
"On?" Oh, great... conditions, did Allana have to be right?
"Where did ya have in mind?"
Peitro did a quick scan of Bayville and all the possible dating areas. Mall? No, where would they go? Hot Topic? Beach? Too far... besides it's December. Movie? No... wait... yes... Pizza and movie. Perfect. "I was thinking... a movie, then we could get some pizza." He started to silently pray, but his mind enjoyed torturing him. She's going to say no.... it's Rogue... of course she'll say no.
"Sounds good." That was a yes... right?
"Really?" He asked a little too eagerly.
Rogue laughed. He couldn't help notice how she got even more beautiful when she did. He didn't know it was possible. Cool it, Peitro.
"Yes, Peitro."
"Six okay?" Rogue nodded. "Do you want me to pick you up or do you want to meet?" He asked.
"Come by at six and Ah'll get Allana to drive."
"Why not Lance?"
"It's Lance... enough said." Rogue did make a point; Lance did tend to drive on the reckless side. Not that he ever really rode with Lance... the guy was too slow for his liking... but still.
"See ya then, Peitro." Rogue started to walk off.
"Yeah, see you." Peitro watched her walk back to the cafeteria. He couldn't believe it. He was going out with Rogue. He was dreaming, right? He pinched himself again. Ow... nope still awake. He glanced down the hall to make sure he was alone. When he confirmed that no one was coming he punched to air in triumph, "YESSSSSS." He started dancing right in the middle of the hall.
"She said yes, I take it." He whipped around to see Allana standing behind him, it was like she had come out of no where.
"Al... Allana... how long have you been there?" He was positive his face was burning.
"Just got here." She grinned mischievously.
"Okay... why are you here?"
"Chill, Speedster, I wasn't spying if that's what you think. I was getting a soda." She waved a dollar as if to prove her innocence. He breathed a sigh of relief. She continued to grin as she got her soda. "I never took you for a victory dancer. Then again... it is Rogue." She opened her soda and started to drink it.
He nodded, "That it is."
"Just remember, Peitro, you're not the only who wants Rogue... be careful." She finished her soda and crushed the can.
Peitro's mood fell... Allana was right. He may have her now... but it was just a date. He'd gone on many, they meant very little to some one like him. But, this was Rogue. That meant everything.
"Are you guys going to meet or play pick ups?" They were walking in the direction of the cafeteria.
"Could you take us?" Peitro made his eyes go big and pouted out his lips, fully prepared to plead with the girl.
"Stop that... duh I'll take you... I don't trust Rogue with Lance behind the wheel..." She trailed off. "And, I don't trust you with Scott."
He grinned, "Thanks." Inwardly he was slightly confused. What did she mean she didn't trust Scott taking him? Had the prick finally taken notice of Rogue and was about to become competition? He always did love a challenge... this one just kept getting better and better.
