(Little X-men story! YAY! Kind of along the lines of "X-Men Evolution",
they're all in highschool.. 'cept for the older folks....:))
History.
Boring, useless, waste of time.
Gambit sighed and continued to twirl the card between his fingers.
'He has GOT to know how dull he is.... I swear I'm gonna snap is this goes on any longer!'
"Kurt..." He whispered to the boy across the room. "Yo, Kurt!" Gambit chuckled as the younger boy started.
Apparently he'd been lulled asleep by the teacher's droning.
"Mr. Wagner, not getting enough sleep at home?"
"Uh.."
"Well, keep it up and I'm sure a few days of ISD will make you think twice before staying up all hours of the night.."
"Yessir.."
"Good, now, as I was saying..-"
Gambit's face flushed a bit as Kurt tried to sink into his seat. Gambit went back to twirling his card.

"Kurt! Kurt!" Gambit called as he pushed his way towards him. He walked up and put his hand on Kurt's shoulder.
"Hey, sorry 'bout the whole, you know, thing in there.."
"Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm always asleep in that class anyway. I'm surprised I haven't been caught before."
Gambit laughed with a bright smile.
"Yo, Remy!" He turned his head as Jean Gray, Kitty Pryde and Alex Summers walked over.
"Hey guys.."
"We're going to pick up Rogue at Xavier's, then head out to catch a flick, wanna come?"
"Yeah, sure!" He flashed another smile, then turned his head.
Kurt had ambled off alone, trying to get away without anyone taking notice. He was currently being hassled into the lockers as a few jerky jocks pushed past. Gambit made a bit of a sneer.
He reached out and gave the two inconsiderate jocks a hard shove. As they stumbled forward Gambit clamped his hand on Kurt's shoulder. He was met briefly by young, timid eyes.
"Are you busy, Kurt? See, the group of us are headin'-"
"Hey!"
"Out to-"
"You!" Gambit ignored the recovering, angry jocks.
"To pick up Rogue and then over to the-"
"That's it!" The first of the jocks, a red haired, blue eyed quarterback, came at the duo at a full run.
Gambit caught the reflection in Kurt's eyes, grabbed his shirt, and moved them both out of the way.
The jock was moving too fast, and not thinking clearly enough to stop himself from running face first into the wall of lockers. As he pulled back with a blood nose, his friend cracked his knuckles and started forward.
"So?" Gambit smirked at Kurt, enjoying the groans from the jock.
"Uh-"
"Ooof!" Gambit stumbled forward as his back was met by the jock's knee. As he pulled away to face the jock, Kurt caught blood red spheres in his eyes.
"That was stupid.." Kurt turned his gaze as Alex Summers walked over, wearing a smirk.
"For both of 'em.." Kitty Pryde sighed as she stepped up with Jean at her side.
"Yeah, can we say 'detention'?"
"Try OSS."
"Jean, can you 'tell' him to stop? A crowd's forming already, and the last thing we need is for attention to be drawn to our school... either of them."
Jean nodded.
Kurt watched with keen interest as lines of concentration creased her otherwise smooth face.
Meanwhile Gambit, who had landed a good kick only to receive a heavy punch to the jaw, stumbled backwards to regain composure, and pull a card from his pocket.
~ Gambit... ~
"Huh?" Gambit lifted his gaze, not sure how he was able to hear anything over:
'Fight! Fight!'
~ et-ut-of-here-be-ore-you-et-ca-ght! ~
"Je-ooff!" As Gambit spotted Jean off by the lockers, the jock gave him a hard punch to the stomach.
Cheers and jeers rose up as the group of gifted youngsters looked at each other.
Gambit growled. He'd been considering not throwing the card, but now he was pissed. He gripped the card and stood up as he sucked in a breath. The jock turned to rally up the crowd, and Gambit saw his chance. He stepped forward, charging the card to a very low power, and hurled it forward.
"Oh shit.." Gambit muttered, and everything seemed to move in slow motion.
As the card bolted ahead, the jock turned and pointed to Gambit. The angry face of the principal loomed right in front of him. The card whipped past his face and cut a nice slice into his cheek.
"You! young man, what is your name?" The principal snapped.
"Remy LaBeau.."
"Oh, one of those gifted kids, eh? Well you can share all your 'gifts' with the ISD students all of next week!" He huffed off in a fury.
"Freaks." A small and feminine voice piped in. The dispersing crowd laughed as Jean, Kitty and Alex walked over to Gambit.
"So, Kurt, you goin' or what?" He said, turning with a false, but highly convincing smile.
"Uh, yeah, sure."
"Trey cool," Gambit said, giving Kurt a bit of a wink.
"I'm driving!" Called Alex.
"In your dreams Chaos, my car, I drive."
"It's Havoc!"
A small smile crept over Kurt's face.

Boring, useless, waste of time.
