Chapter 3: Upset
Next day at school...
"Pietro, I need to have a word with you," Pietro was about to get to his first class when Jean stopped over at his locker. "Yes? Wassup? BeQuickAboutIt."
"Okay. Today after school, meet at Kitty's locker. I've instructed her to introduce you around since you are still new." Jean was expecting him to freak out, but instead Pietro just said, "No problem" totally impassively.
~Damn it! Like of all people, why me?~ Kitty felt like the sky was falling over her. She wouldn't want to imagine how she's going to "socialise" with the albino. Classes seemed to just slip past her notice. Every new class, when Pietro would pass her table, she could feel an uncomfortable queasiness inside of her. Jean sure was putting her in a dilemma.
"Class dismissed. Remember to finish your 2500 word reports on World War II and the Vietnam War," the teacher sprang out a last reminder to the class. "W-What? Social Studies' over?" Kitty was still in her blurry state. Kitty shoved her lecture pad into her bag and headed for her locker. She was expecting Pietro to be flirting with another numbskull. But no. Pietro was just leaning against her locker. Kitty hung her head down. ~I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. I don't...~ she tried chanting on to straighten her thoughts, but to no avail.
"Hey Pryde. Red told me..." Pietro stared at the girl in pink as she wrapped her arms tighter around her book. She seemed ignorant of his presence. "Earth to Pryde!" Pietro's curiosity grew as he watched the young mutant shoved him away from her locker. She grabbed her schedule. ~Huh? School's ended?~ She thought hesitantly. Kitty slammed her locker door shut then looked up at Pietro.
"You think I like being with you? Well, like, you're wrong!" Kitty just blurted out those words. At first she wasn't aware of what she was babbling about. But a few seconds later, Kitty's hands were wrapped over her mouth, ~what did I just said?~ She seemed lost in thought. Her mind in a blank state. It was then that a bitchy voice snapped her back to reality, her azure blue eyes could only meet a thoroughly confused expression.
"Hi! You must be Pietro! I'm Laura. I've heard so much about you from the other cheerleaders. Oh, you look so much better than I've imagined! And you must be new here. Let me show you around, okay?" another blonde "chick" got the hots for Maximoff again. This time, Pietro wasn't as keen. He had an urge to look deeper into those blue eyes before him.
"Take him. He's all yours. Just remind him to be home before dinner." Kitty broke the awkward silence and it held Pietro dumbfounded. ~What? Pryde how could you make me suffer!~ Pietro thought. He guess he was tired of blonde brained cheer-freaks. All this took place in his mind for 2 seconds, after which Kitty started walking away.
"Yo Kitty! Want a ride home? Oh, or must you take care of Pietro for Jean?" Lance Alvers caught up with the dreamy freshman ignoring Pietro's poignant stares. "Sure! Why not. Well, let's just, like, say that someone volunteered to be my substitute." Kitty soon found herself back to her normal bubbly self again when the Avalanche tried cheering her up.
"Come on Pietro. I've got lots to show you!" the blonde tugged at his arm, while the sophomore just pressed on a weak and reluctant smile. ~Pryde, you'll pay for this...~
* * *
Pietro stride towards an empty desk beside Kitty during Honours English and seated down. Kitty looked up from her disturbed position upon realising Maximoff's presence. She stared at him for a few seconds, trying to reason why he had a change of seat.
"So like how was it with the blonde chick?" Kitty gave a slight nod followed by a mere smile.
"It was great! Very good... -all thanks to you-," Pietro emphsised "all thanks to you" obviously he tried to mean that it was all her fault, but Kitty's smile seemed to transform into a grin. She giggled a little, insensible to Pietro's already flaming eyes. The sophomore was still indeed mad at the freshman.
More than half the lesson had already passed...
"All right now. With that, I end Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Now let's spend the last 15 minutes on Poetry. To kick a start, I would one each of you to write a brief poem on the person sitting beside you. Any questions? If not, you may start now. I give you all 10 minutes from now."
~What? Bloody Pietro! Like, no way teach'!~ Kitty thought staring at the grinning albino while raising her eyebrow. ~Like, don't even think about it~, Kitty heaved a depressing sigh. ~Great! This is my chance to get back at her for what she's done to me yesterday! Hehe~, Pietro spread a devilish smirk across his face.
Kitty couldn't think of anything to write about. She practically didn't treat his existence. All she knows is that he's an irritating, idiotic, troublemaking albino flirt. And nothing that rhymes seems to get into her head. She winced a little when she saw Pietro scribbling away. ~Goodness! I, like, don't wanna imagine what shit he's gonna write 'bout me! Urgh!~ Just then, the teacher walked pass her table.
"Kitty, why aren't you writing? Is there nothing you know about Pietro?" she asked with one of her freaky stares. Kitty shivered at her comment but managed to reply, "Absolutely nothing, m'am." "All right then, but no matter what, you still have to write at least something down."
"All right. Times up. Who would volunteer to read your poem to the class?" the teacher looked around and her thin lips turned into a wide smile when Pietro shot his hand up in the air. "Okay, Mr Maximoff, you may begin." Kitty was utterly shocked. ~This freak is capable of anything!~ She's gonna regret she'd ever known him.
Pietro cleared his throat, while Kitty tried not to pay any attention to him. However, it was too difficult. She didn't want to hear what he's written, yet she wanted to find out what it is. Kitty looked down at her table, her hands shuffling each other.
* * *
"There was once a girl so timid and shy,
Who'd never have friends, I wonder why?
Her sentences always includes a "like",
That valley girl talk annoys me, yike!
I've never once seen her change her outfit,
Maybe from all the Cat food she eats.
Her parents should be sick of her,
So sick of their little pea-brained girl.
Perhaps one day they might be forced,
Be away with each other and get a divorce.
She certainly never will get a boyfriend,
'Cause she just don't fit in, you get me m'am?
She daydreams of celebrities, oh so cool,
If you would have notice, she even drools.
And her middle name's got to be "up-tight",
Oh, she's none other then Kitty Pryde."
* * *
"Oh, that was an excellent poem. Mr Maximoff, I'm truly impressed by how much you have written in such a short time. Good job."
By then, Kitty was already at the verge of crying. Her blue eyes had tears brimming a little inside as she tried to resist herself from spilling out. Indeed, her parents would have gotten a divorce on the night she first realised her powers. Though they didn't, Kitty was still rather traumatic with it. "Miss Pryde, would you like to read -yours-?" the teacher's screeching voice burst her thoughts. The poor freshman still couldn't contain her emotions. ~Why? Like what did I do to deserve this?~
"I-I..." Kitty felt dumbfounded. Her entire class was already bursting into roars of laughter. Her heart felt as if a huge rock had rested in it. So heavy. She had that sinking feeling already. R-R-I-I-N-N-G-G! The school bell rang indicating that school had ended. Kitty was saved. But the humiliation had a great impact on her emotions. She didn't even bother to thank the teacher before dashing out of the class. She got to a locker, but she wasn't as fast as Pietro.
"You like that poem?" Pietro snickered in his words. "Go away! I don't wanna, like, ever see you again!" with that, Kitty started running towards the cafeteria with her left arm over her wet eyes.
* * *
Kitty sat listlessly at an empty table. The rush of students had long disappeared. There in front of her was just a can of soda. She didn't have the appetite for food at that moment. Just then, a familiar voice was heard, "Hello Keetie!" It was indeed Kurt. He took a seat beside her, he realised how dejected his good friend was. "Keetie... are you all right? If zere's anyzing bothering you, you can alwayz tell me," Kurt tried to comfort her reassuringly. Kitty just shook her head, then she buried her faced into her hands and wept.
Kurt could just feel his heart sink. He had never seen Kitty so upset before. Did someone bully her? If it were, he would swear to teach that guy a lesson. But right then, Kitty seemed as though she didn't want to talk about it.
"Keetie, I understand if you don't vant to talk about it. But if you vant, I can lend you my shoulder to..." Kurt was about to finish his sentence before Kitty wrapped her arms around him and cried on his shoulder. Kurt smiled a little and stroked her head to calm her down. ~Vhatever it was, I didn't like whomever who caused it.~
The both were oblivious of a young albino mutant that sat at a corner of the cafeteria watching the whole scene even before Kurt showed up. "Yes, I did get my revenge on her. But how come I don't feel that happy? Did I really hurt her? What I said wasn't all true, right?" Pietro muttered to himself. The questions flooded his mind. He tried shaking his head to get rid of the thought, but then he realised he really did something, and his heart felt different. It was once confined to the stone cold, merciless ice. However, it now seemed to have broken free and started to taste the likes of sentiments...
