Pietro stared after Kitty, trying to shake off the shock of what had just happened. Just when he was trying to get over her, THIS had to happen. Pietro shook his head, his lips tingling. Pietro closed his eyes, trying to resist the urge to run after her, make sure she was okay. It would only complicate things. God, her and Kurt had been together for 3 years..how could he compete with THAT kind of history? I can't, Pietro thought grimly. Just thinking of the two of them together made his heart thud slowly.
Pietro went inside and walked down the hallway, pausing in front of Kitty's door. Then against his will, he found himself knocking. I have to tell her how I feel, Pietro thought, his throat feeling like cotton. He had never felt so nervous about a girl. Pietro shook his head, and was about to flee when the door opened.
"What do you want?" Kitty asked. Pietro stared back at her, noting that her beautiful brown eyes were tinged with red. Had she been crying? Pietro swallowed and opened his mouth to talk. But, suddenly, the door flew open wider to reveal Kurt standing behind Kitty, a concerned expression on his face.
Pietro swallowed hard, his face flaming. I kissed her and who does she go to? Her boyfriend, of course, Pietro told himself bitterly. He had his answer. She didn't need him and she certainly didn't want him.
"Nothing," Pietro retorted, and was gone in a flash, not giving them a second glance.
Pietro reached his room, face flushed with emotion. Then, on a whim, he grabbed his jacket and shot out the front door for a quick run. The further away from Kitty Pryde he got, the better.
