Later, that night, Rogue was walking to her bedroom reading her script when she crashed with Scott, who was reading as well, at the hall. She felt because of the impact and Scott quickly offered her his hand to help her stand up.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention" He saw her staring at his hand but didn't took it, then he noticed she was in her pijamas and wasn't wearing her gloves -Such an idiot I am!- "Sorry again, I didn't mean to ... I forgot..." he put his hand at his back

"It's Ok" She standed with both scripts in her hand and gave the senior his "I have part of the guilt, I was distracted, too" Scott stared at her concentrating on her face, the innocence she shows when she wasn't wearing any make up made, made the senior, unconsciously, smile weakly. Rogue raised an eyebrow and turned "Good night" she began to walk but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder

"I have something to tell you" the girl turned and stared at the boy infront of her curiously "Kitty told me you were with Pietro after school"

"Now you're not reclaiming me, right?!" Rogue took a defensive position "'cause we weren't doing anything bad, he wasn't convincing me to return to the Brotherhood or asking me to scape with him at night, ok?"

"I never said anything like that" -she hasn't forgotten all what I told her about Lance...- he put a hand on the back of his neck "I just wanted to tell you that I trust you and I shouldn't be interfering in your life" Scott sighted hard "I learned my lesson" he gave her a sad smile "But the next time you should tell me, you know, to don't get worried about you..." Rogue wasn't expecting this and the sudden change of Scott surprised her

"All... all right..."

"Thank you" The senior smiled at the girl and then walked to his room, when he opened the door he watched over his shoulder and smiled "Good night, Kate" then he entered his room and closed his door leaving a suprised Rogue at the hall

"Good night, Scott" she whispered and walked to her room embracing her script.


Next day, at Bayville's High School, the English class was at the school's auditorium to practice their play, but before they begin, the teacher had something important to announce.

"Kids, today I want you to introduce you my new assistant, Katherine Pryde" an excited Kitty appeared on the stage with a big grin on her face. Scott turned to Rogue surprised and she just shrugged her shoulders and turned her attention to the new assistant who ran at them.

"Like, what do you think guys?" Kitty asked with her usual cheerful attitude. Rogue wasn't waisting this oportunity but when she was about to answer... "Don't even think it, Rogue..." the freshman advised her before she says something rude to her

"Damn..." Rogue folded her arms and Scott grinned

"Ok kids, let's begin, we have to present this play next week, so let's hurry up!" the teacher said clapping "I hope everybody have studied your parts" the older man looked at his script for a second "Well, we're doing the balcony scene... everybody at your positions!" Scott and Taryn were the only ones on the stage scanning their scripts for a moment and then began with their acting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+++++++ Little break!!!, I'm translating this from a version in spanish so don't blame on me if it's wrong ¬_¬*, and I'm not writing everything cause it's really loooonnngggg... now you can return to the story++++++++
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Who's that light that shines through that window? Is the east and Juliet the sun!" Scott said staring at Taryn who was on the balcony

"Oh Romeo, Romeo!" Taryn was like seeking for Scott with a very faked 'I'm in love' face

"I feel I'm going to faint" Rogue whispered to Kitty while folding her arms at back stage

"Actually, she is inventing that..." Kitty said rolling her eyes

"Romeo, deny your father and refuse your name; if you don't want to, just tell me you love me and I'll stop being a Capuleto..." Taryn sent a kiss to Scott

"From now I stop being Romeo, just call me "my love" "

"Correction, I'm shooting myself..." Rogue whispered again and Kitty put a hand on her mouth to don't let anyone heard her laughing.


After the essay, Taryn was at her locker taking some books, she was happy for having all Scott's attention, but the fact that all that was because of the play was bothering her, she wanted that Scott felt everything he said. That made her upset. She slammed the door of her locker

"Wow! someone is sensitive today" she turned and saw Pietro leaning next to her with a smirk on his face

"Dissapear Maximoff..." she said with a warning glare "I'm not in a mood to stand an idiot like you"

"You don't have to be so rough with me" Pietro made a hurt expression. Taryn turned and began walking away but the boy move faster and standed infront of her "I know what's your problem, 'cause, actually, is mine, too" he said with his 'I'm so cool' expression.

"Tell me, what's that problem you're talking about"

"Summers" Taryn raised an eyebrow "You want to get his attention and I want him to get his attention away from a certain girl"

"I see, so you're going to help me to let you a free way"

"more less" Pietro stretch his hand to Taryn "what do you think? It's a deal?" Taryn stared at him thoughtfully for a second

"Ok" She took his hand


At the end of the classes, Jean, Rogue and Kitty were walking out the building when they saw Scott next to his car waiting for them. The girls stopped on their track when they saw Taryn walking to Scott.

"What is she, like, doing?" Kitty said angry

"Maybe is asking Scott something about the play" Jean tried to sound logic, but she had a bad feeling about this. And she was right, Taryn, suddenly threw herself to Scott's arms and put her arms around his neck and tried to kiss him. The girls stared at the scene stunned. From a place not so far, the Brotherhood were watching the scene as well, all the members had their mouths wide open, except for one, who had an evil smirk on his mouth.

"Hey girls, vhat's going on..." Kurt and Evan were walking to the girls when they saw Taryn and Scott in shock. The blue boy felt something pulling his sleeve and turned to see his sister next to him without a expression on her face.

"Take me home..." Rogue said in a whisper. Kurt nooded and turned everywhere to make sure anyone was watching at them and then teleported with his sister.

"What are you doing?!" Scott pulled Taryn away before their lips met

"I thought that maybe we could practice the kiss scene" she said with an inocent expression

"We had our practice session and that's enough. I don't want you to do something like that again!" The senior was really angry and hoped anyone saw them. Taryn shrugged her shoulders and walked away, passing next to Kitty, Jean and Evan with a smile of satisfaction. Then turned her attention to Pietro, who nooded and gave her an approving smile. When the girl was far away, Kitty was going to chase after her but Evan stopped her embracing her by her waist.

"I'm, like, going to kill her!!!" Kitty was waving her arms and Evan avoiding her hits "Let me go!!!!"

"Calm down Kitty!!" Evan tried hard but was difficult to stop her, she didn't calm until Lance appeared behind them and put his hand on her shoulder "That's all what she needed, I owe you one, but don't let this get to your head" Evan sighted relieved

"There's nothing a weakling like you can do for me" Lance said with a smirk on his face. Evan didn't like the coment and grabbed the older boy by his T-shirt's collar

"Repeat it!"

"Cut it off, kids" Jean separated them "We have enough problems right now to be making more" Evan folded his arms and Lance smiled proud when he put an arm around Kitty's shoulders


Scott was still surprised with Taryn's actions when he felt a hit on the back of his neck, he turned to see who was it, but didn't see anyone

"You're really slow, Shades" he heard a well known voice behind him and turned quickly, finding a satisfied Pietro leaning on his car with a big grin on his face

"What the hell do you want?!" Scott asked in a warning voice

"Just congratulate you" the white haired boy made an evil smirk "Taryn and you make a great couple" and he began to laugh

"We are just friends!"

"Really?, 'cause all the school thinks different after seeing that "kiss" " Pietro pointed at all the people at the parking lot who had their eyes fixed on the senior "You can't deny it, Summers, we all saw how much you like it.... even she saw you"

"What?!" Scott's face turned surprised and then filled with anger "YOU PLANNED THIS!!! RIGHT?!" he grabbed the shorter boy by his shirt "You convinced Taryn, I don't know how, to do this!" his eyes were shining bright red behind his shades

"SCOTT!" the elder boy turned at hearing his name and saw Jean running to them, followed by Lance, Kitty and Evan. Pietro didn't waiste the chance and connected a punch on the other boy's face, making him lose his balance. When Scott recovered, he punched Pietro on the stomach and then on his face, making him fell to the ground with a cut on his eyebrow. Pietro standed quickly and was about to return the hit but Lance already was grabbing him from behind.

"Lance, leave me!!! I'm kicking his x-geek ass!!" the boy fought to set himself free, but the older boy was stronger

"In your DREAMS Maximoff!!" Evan, Jean and Kitty were grabbing Scott.

"What are you two thinking?!" Jean asked really upset, specially with Scott "We're not in a boxing arena!"

"But HE began!!" Both boys said at the same time and gave killing glares at each other

"All right, STOP this right now or I'll use my power to send both of you to the moon!" the red haired girl turned at each kid with warning glares. Both relaxed and their friends set them free.

"We better leave Pietro" Lance stared at his friend for a moment and noticed a satisfaction smile on his face. Now he knew his friend had something to be in all this mess.

"I won this fight, Summers, I ALWAYS win" Pietro walked to Lance's jeep where the other Brotherhood's members were watching everything stunned.

"I'll talk with him..." Lance approached to Kitty and kissed her on her cheek. Then he turned and walked to his jeep.

"I'm sorry guys, I don't know what happened to me, I couldn't control myself..." Scott cleaned the blood from his bleeding lip with the back of his hand.

"Don't worry man, I support you whenever it has to be with hitting Maximoff" Evan patted Scott on his back and showed him a thumb up

"Evan..." Jean stared at him with a disaproving look.

"Who I, like, can't believe is Taryn" Kitty folded her arms "How could she, like, do a thing like that?"

"Did you saw us?!" Scott asked really worried -please say no, please say no-, but when his friends nooded, he felt like if a bucket of cold water was poured on him "and Rogue?"

"I'm sorry Scott, but when she saw you, she left with Kurt..." Jean said

"DAMN IT!" Scott turned to his car and slammed his hands on it's hood -Pietro wasn't liying...-

"Calm down, maybe she already forgot it" Everybody stared at Evan with an 'are you stupid or what' expression "Sorry guys, I was just trying to be positive"

"It's Ok" Scott sighted "Let's go home..." his friends stared at each other with worried expressions and then climbed in the car.


Kurt and Rogue appeared in the living room. Kurt get worried when he noticed Rogue's sad expression.

"Are ya all right?" Kurt put his hands on her shoulders and searched for her eyes but she turned her face to a side to don't let him see her hurt face.

"Yeah, why shouldn't I..." She said in a whimper "Is not like if he is my boyfriend or something like that..."

"Ja, but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt ya" He cupped her face covered with her hair and turned it to face him. Her eyes were filled with tears but he knew she was fighting to don't let them fell.

"Hi kids!" Hank McCoy and Ororo Monroe walked to them

"Is there a problem?" Ororo asked concerned.

"No..." Rogue pushed Kurt a little, then ran upstairs to her room and slammed her door.

"Rogue, Vait!" Kurt tried to stop her but it was too late, she was locked in her room "Oh Great!" he said sarcastically

"What happened, Kurt?" Mr McCoy asked worried

"It's a long story..." The blue boy teleported inside Rogue and Kitty's room and searched for his sister. The goth girl was sitting on the floor next to her bed with her arms around her legs. Kurt approached to her and sat behind her.

"Don't vorry, sista, there should be an explanation for all of this..." He tried to sound convincing, but how could you be convincing when you can't even believe yourself

"Yeah, I know it, Scott and Taryn are a couple..." she said frustrated. Kurt embraced her and, for the first time, he saw her cry. He felt his heart broken and tried to say something to confort her but he couldn't, he was speechless, all he could do was embrace her and try to give her strenght. After some minutes, Rogue separated from Kurt and cleaned her tears with the back of her gloved hand.

"I'm such an idiot..." the girl said with a sad smile. Kurt stared at her confused and concerned "I'm crying like a baby for nothing..."

"Vhat do ya mean?" Kurt saw his sister stand up giving him her back

"I'm not Scott's owner, you know, he is free to be with whoever he wants..." the blue elf standed next to her and stared at her worried "Besides, he doesn't even know what I feel for him..."

"Ya must tell him, ya can't keep all of this in yar heart... I can't stand seeing ya suffer like this..."

"Don't worry, bro, I perfectly know what I have to do..." Rogue walked to the door and put a hand on the door's knob

"And vhat's that?"

"Forget Scott Summers..." she opened the door and walked away, leaving a speechless Kurt inside the room with a worried expression on his face.
