Rogue looked out at the sea of little faces staring back at her. "They look so sweet," Rogue remarked to Bobby. Bobby snorted.
"Don't let those faces fool you. They're just waiting until Mr. Summers is out of sight, before they show their true colors." Bobby warned her. Rogue rolled her eyes and settled into a seat, blushing when her knees accidentally knocked against his. Ever since she'd dropped that embarrassing picture, Rogue had vowed she'd maintain her usual cool confident persona around him. There was no use in him finding out that, as of late, she was blushing all the time around him.
"Alright, listen up everyone. Each pair will be assigned 7 children to supervise at the carnival. Some of you have never babysat before, so I'm going to give you a few helpful tips," Miss Munroe said, grinning across the room at Logan who was struggling to get out of the death grip a little girl had on his leg. "Never let them out of your sight even for a minute. Little kids are fast and get lost very easily so make sure your paying attention. Also, if you and your partner get split up, find a common meeting place. Okay, does everyone understand?"
Everyone nodded and broke into chatter as children were filed into groups. Kitty walked by, her hair bouncing off her shoulders. "Oh hey Rogue," Kitty greeted, approaching them.
Rogue smiled. "Hey." Kitty stopped, and began peering closer at Rogue's face. Rogue groaned inwardly. Oh god, please don't mention it, please don't mention it...
"Hey! You're wearing make-up!" Kitty exclaimed, upon closer examination. Bobby's eyebrows shot up, as his blue eyes roved over her face. Rogue wanted to die.
" I am most certainly NOT wearing make-up!" Rogue said hotly, trying to avoid Bobby's penetrating stare. Why was he getting better-looking all the time?
" You so are! That's lipstick, and blush, and-," Kitty listed off, oblivious to the murderous looks Rogue was shooting her, much to Bobby's amusement. " Are you wearing it because of-"
"Kitty, I think your partner's calling you," Rogue said, through clenched teeth. Kitty frowned and turned back to find Pietro making faces at her. She rolled her eyes.
" Great, he's probably tried to brainwash them into tarring and feathering me or something," Kitty said disgustedly, and with a final wave to Rogue, walked off.
"Come on let's go," Bobby said warmly, and reached a hand out to help her up. Rogue stared at it, her cheeks flaming. " I won't bite, I promise..unless you want me to," Bobby said cheekily. Rogue swallowed hard and stood up.
" I assure you that won't be happening," Rogue said, as calmly as she could, and fled off in the direction of the children, feeling his eyes on her back the whole way.
