"So as you all think of your projects, please keep in mind that this is worth half your grade." Mrs. Bainbridge, the history teacher said as the bell rang. "Please have your topics tomorrow."

"So what are you thinking of having your topic on?" Scott asked Rogue.

"Ah don` really know yet. What `bout ya?"

Scott chuckled. "Not sure either. But too bad we couldn't work together."

"Yea." She said going to her locker and opened it. Slightly looking to see if anything was in it.

"So like nothing yet?" Kitty asked from behind her.

"No, ah think ah was expectin` too much, ya know. Ah mean why would anyone lahke the untouchable?"

"Stop thinking like so negatively." Kitty insisted. "It has to be someone." They said walking out of the door.

Pietro got home in less then five seconds, went in the door and opened it to see the deliveryman. H signed for the package and took it into the kitchen and opened it. Placed inside the jewelry box was the silver pendant he had ordered. Smiling he shut the small box and wrapped it quickly adding a small card and sped over to the Institute. He knew no one would be home from school yet and hurried to Rogue's room. Smiling to himself he placed the gift on her pillow and ran off, unaware of the camera Evan and Bubby had set up.

"All I'm saying is that you shouldn't get your hopes up for nothing." Jean told Rogue.

"No yer just sayin` dat no one would ever think of me dat way."

"Rogue I'm sure someone out there likes you." Scott said smiling as he put his arm around her shoulder. "Someone who couldn't care less about your powers."

"Way to put things Scott." Jean said brushing by them.

"So any one giving you like a secret eye today?" Kitty asked as they entered they're bedroom.

"Ah wasn't really lookin`. Ah mean what if Jean is right."

"Then who left the totally nice like wrapped present on your pillow?"

Rogue looked and saw the present. Both girls running to Rogue's bed as Rogue saw a card. "Well, like open it."

"Ah am." Rogue said slightly nervous.

Nothing can compare to your beauty, but more beauty. I hope you like it.

Secret Admirer

Kitty squealed. "It's so romantic, so just like open it."

"Ah'm gettin` there." Rogue said smiling as she carefully unwrapped the gift and gasped at the small jewelry box.

Jean who had heard Kitty squealed stopped by the room. "What's going on?"

"Rogue like got another present."

Jean entered the room and read the card. "Wow, what's the present?"

"Ah don` know yet." Rogue said undoing the lid and gasped. "Oh mah gawd."

Jean and Kitty gasped as well seeing the silver pendant. "It's like gorgeous."

"Wow, I take back what I said earlier to you Rogue. Someone really does like you."

Rogue took the pendant out of the box, walked towards Kitty's mirror and put it on. "How does it look?"

"Like it was made for you." Kitty said as Jean nodded in agreement.
