Tonight was the Valentines Day Dance. I decided to go, but really felt stupid going alone. Rogue was sick, Kitty left ealier with Lance; Jean went over to Duncan's for a party and Scott sort of followed her.
Anyway I went to the dance and saw the Kitty and Lance were there dancing. The gym was decorated with red hearts, streamers and much more. As I looked around i saw one of my other friends Nick. He was just talking with some other girls, but saw me and signaled me to come over and join him. Nick was on the football team and was really audorable.
"Hey Jade." he smiled, "Hey Nick, what's up?" I asked, "Nothing much, but do you ant to dance?" he asked holding out his hand, "Sure." I replied walking out onto the floor.
Music was playing and we went dnaced for hours.
"So did you come here alone?" he asked, "Yeah, though I really feel stupid." I replied, "Don't I came here alone too." he smiled, "Whoa, now I feel smart." laughing.
~Later that night~
"Can I take you home?" he asked as we came out of the school, "Yeah, ok." I said. He took me home in his car and he pulled up right in front of the Institute, "Thanks for the ride." I said picking up my bag, "Wait Jade." he said taking me by the arm, "Yeah Nick?" I asked, "Here, Happy Valentines Day." he said handing me a card, "Oh Nick, thanks so much." I said getting out.
Suddenly I got back in and kissed his soft lips. "what's that for?" he asked confused, "That's you're Valentines Day gift." I said getting out of the car and walking inside, "Night Jade." he said, "Night." I waved as he pulled away.
"Jade, how was the dance?" Rogue asked coming down stairs, "It was very cool." I smiled, "Really, was that Nick who dropped you off?" she asked, "Yeah, it was." replying with a giggle, "So tell then." Kitty said walking inside, "I'm not getting into details." I yawned, "I'm going to get some tea and going to bed." Rogue said walking toward the kitchen, "So, did he ask you out?" Kitty asked, "No, but he did give me a card. Though I know what it said. And yes he's asking me out." I smiled, "Let me see." Kitty said.
I took out the envelope and opened the card. "I don't even have to read it." I interrupted her, "What does it say?" she asked urging me to tell her, "It says Happy V-day, and will you go out with me? He wants me to join him for lunch tomorrow with my answer." I puased, "So let me guess you'll say yes."Kitty laughed running up stairs, "Of course I'll say yes, but I'm also going to sleep." I said walking up stairs.

The next day at school I met up with JNick for lunch. As we sat down a t a table I noticed Kitty wasn't to far away to hear my answer. "So did you like the card?" he asked, "Yeah it was really nice." I smiled. We started talking about just anything, since I knew Kitty was just dying to hear me say yes.
The bell rang and I saw she was pissed and left with Kirt and Lance. Nick and I walked to class together. Before we even went in "Nick, thought about what you asked and yes." I said, "Really? Whoa, I'm really glad." he said hugging me, "Me too." I said.
As the rest of the day went on, I couldn't of felt more happy on this day. Kitty wouldn't stop staring at me. I knew she was thinking about what I said to Nick. It drove me nuts all day. Even when I got back to the Institute with Nick to study, she followed me into the living room. "It is me or is Kitty been keeping tabs on you all day?" Nick asked curious, "Let me take care of her. Be right back." I said getting off the couch and walking out of the room.
"Kitty! What the hell are you doing?" I asked, "Come on, I just wanted to know what you said to Nick." she began, "Oh yeah right! I noticed you all day. During lunch you fased through the wall near my table and tried to listen to our conversation!" I interrupted, "You did say yes didn't you." she said, "What?" I asked, "Just admit you said yes." Kitty urged me to speak, "Kitty just go away." I said hold my hand up with a firework, "Whoa calm down, I'm gone." and with that she fased through the floor.
God she can make me so pissed sometimes, but she's been a great friend since I came here. Anyway I walked back into the room and sat down with Nick again. "So what was that all about?" he asked, "Oh nothing, Kitty has just been spying on me since I started to hang out with you." I began, "Really?" he asked smiling, "Yeah, but don't mind her." I said looking in my book.
"Jade, are you in here?" the Prof. asked, "Yeah, but I know. He'll leave soon, I promise." I replied, "Alright." he ended. "Nick it's late and you'd better go." I began, "Yeah it's late and we can see each other tomorrow." he said getting up and grabbing his books, "Let me walk you out." I said leading him out of the room.

Today during breakfast we had a new teacher come to our school.He was the chemestry teacher Mr. MCcoy, but now we called him Beast. He's a really great teacher and makes learning sort of fun. That day he and the Prof., Kitty, and Beast were descussing a feild trip to the Red Wood Forest in California. HE was the Earth Science teacher and I got to go.
That day I was packing and Kitty was too. She and I were both going plus a Even and a few new students. By the afternoon we left and landed before sunset; It seemed so peaceful and quiet. Birds chirpped and flew over trees in large groups. Everyone was pitching up tents and making camp.
Beast said he'd take us on a hike and we started as soon as Even pitched up the last tent. It was really interesting and plus he was counting this as a grade for just taking notes and making personal observations.
