"How Rocky rocked the Kitty"
Chapter 7: Understanding
The next day of school, Kitty walks happily toward her locker. Last night was great. Lance had asked her out and she learned how to block mind reading. She was humming when Lance approached her.
Putting his hands over her eyes, "Guess who?"
Kitty smiled. She knew that voice but pretended not to, "Hmmm. oh, Nathan, right? That hottie in Geometry class."
Lance pretended to act hurt, "Ouch!! That's not nice, you know."
"Who said I was nice?"
Lance smiled and put his arms around her waist. "Ready for tonight?"
"Definitely," she answered.
He gave her a little kiss in her forehead, "Listen, I have something to tell you later so can we meet after school?"
"Yeah, sure. Is everything okay? You sound pretty worried."
"Of course, I'll meet you here after school okay?" he waited for Kitty to nod, "now, I have to leave because I see Summers and Red are coming," kissing her softy before he left.
Scott and Jean, of course, saw the whole thing and approach her. They both said 'hey' to her.
"Looks like you and Lance are getting a little too comfy with each other," Jean frowned.
Scott frowned too although not at Kitty but at Jean. He told her not to bug her about Lance but it seems that she doesn't listen.
"And what is be wrong with that?" Kitty asked, annoyed.
"Well, you do know that he has a bad reputation. Why are you hanging out with him anyway?" Jean said harshly.
"That, would be none of your business," Kitty said, getting mad as the minute go by.
"I think it is. We do live together and we have to look out for each other. And when we think someone is making a BIG mistake, we tell her," she replied.
"You mean, YOU tell them even though the others don't agree with YOU," Kitty said emphasizing the words.
"You shouldn't hang out with him and the Brotherhood, they're bad influence," she said.
And when Kitty frowned, she defended herself. "Besides, you should be a little more thankful that we're here to help you."
"Help me? More like trying to tell me what to do," Kitty replied. Before Jean could reply Kitty continued, "before you go on poking your nose where it doesn't belong maybe you should look at yours first. I mean, you go out with Duncan and fool around with him," she heard Jean's gasp of outrage, and Scott's 'ahem' but she still went on, "and just because he's a jock and a popular one at that, doesn't mean we like him." Kitty started to walk away and turned around one more time and yelled, "WE DON'T LIKE HIM! HE'S A PERVERT AND SO ARE HIS FRIENDS!" The students turn and stare at them. Jean's friends came and started asking what they were talking about. Jean couldn't believe Kitty had just made a scene. She couldn't believe she had shouted at her too. Scott didn't even defend her. She growled at that.
Scott didn't even do anything about it. He just stood there in shock. Who knew Kitty could be so. uh, what was the word, feisty. He looked at Jean who had a look of outrage in her face. He couldn't help but smile. The whole thing was actually hilarious for him. He watched as Jean told her friends what had happened and they all frowned. He knew for sure that the group would get back at her. They always do that when someone crosses them.
Kitty walked to her first class. Taking her seat, she tried to calm down and recall what had just happened. She couldn't believe she had just done that. She never makes scene. Jean's going to get back at her for sure. She put her hands over her face. Agh, I just have the whole thing worse. It's a good thing I didn't shout out that she wasn't a virgin anymore, she thought. Then smiled at the idea. When the bell ring, she tried to forget what had happened and pay attention.
About lunchtime, the whole story was spread around. When she walked into the cafeteria, the jocks and cheerleaders were giving her death stares. She tried to ignore them and walked to the cafeteria line to get some food.
She was sitting with Rogue, Scott, Evan, and Kurt when Duncan and the other jocks came over with the cheerleaders came to their table. Duncan looked at her and his voice full of venom, "Listen you little bitch, don't you mess with us or else."
"Get lost Duncan," Scott defended her, "and don't call her that."
"What are you going to do about it Summers, and if you're smart, you'll stay out of this," Duncan pushed him and tried to pull Kitty but was stopped by Lance, "Don't touch her!"
Lance pulled Kitty behind him and faced Duncan.
Duncan's eyes darkened, "Stay out of this Alvers, I have no interest in you. Now, get out of the way."
"No! You know Duncan, like Summers said, GET LOST," he arch a brow.
Duncan and his friends tried to surround them but they were stopped by a teacher.
"What's going on here?" Mr. Kelly asked.
"Nothing sir. We were just having a. friendly chat." Duncan said and started to leave, "we'll get you bitch and you too Alvers," he whispered so that Kelly couldn't hear them.
Lance sighed as he watch them exit the cafeteria with Jean smirking behind them. He turned to look at Kitty. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, thank you," she replied.
Lance looked at her. She didn't look too scared. She didn't look scared period. He frowned. She could have been seriously hurt. Why wasn't she scared?
He put an arm around her shoulder. "You know, you should start being more careful."
"I know. What happened with Jean was... unacceptable. I have never done something like that before," she said.
"I think I can imagine that," Lance laughed.
Kitty elbowed him and he winced. "Ouch, I was just kidding."
"I know," she grinned.
"But," Lance continued, "I would have loved to see her face when you did that."
Kitty started to laugh. He can be so funny and romantic if he wanted to.
After school, she met Rogue at her locker.
"Hey," Kitty greeted.
"Hey. Are you okay? About the cafeteria thing I mean," Rogue asked.
"Yeah, that wasn't so bad," Kitty replied.
"You should be more careful. Jean will get her revenge. She's popular and her friends would want to get involve. And after what you said about Duncan, tsk," she warned.
"Yes, I know, I'll be careful. Lance even warned me. Anyway, I'm going to meet Lance, he wanted to tell me something and he said he'll drop me off. Can you tell the professor that we're going to come a little later and I'll tell him the rest," Kitty asked.
Rogue raised a brow. "Please Rogue. It would mean so much to me," Kitty pleaded.
"Oh alright. Just don't go getting yourself into trouble, k?"
"Thanks. I knew I could count on you. We won't be long, I promise," Kitty gave Rogue a hug, to her surprise and left.
Kitty saw Lance was waiting for her in front of the school, leaning on his jeep.
"Hey you, sorry for making you wait. I just needed to talk to Rogue," Kitty said as she went inside the jeep.
Lance smiled, "That's fine," he looked at her, "have Duncan and his idiots bugged you yet?"
Kitty frowned at him, "Yet? Why? Are you waiting for them too?"
"No, just wanted to make sure they didn't touch you."
Kitty smiled. "Well thanks," she leaned to kiss him on the cheek.
Lance laughed, "You know, I could get use to this," and grinned at her.
Kitty gigled. Lance started to drive to the Institute but stopped half a mile away. Kitty gave him a questioning look.
"Why are we stopping?"
Lance looked at her. "I have to tell you something remember," giving her a strained smile.
"Okay. what is it?"
Lance groaned, "Well, I might as well get it out already. You're not going to like it though." He had said it so seriously that Kitty was getting anxious.
"Lance, stop going around. Just tell me," she said exasperatedly.
"Well, you see, when I asked you out, me and Pietro, kind, made a bet that I could go out with you within 48 hours," Lance said hesitantly.
Kitty looked at him, "Hmmm. I see."
Oh boy, this can't be good, he thought. He stared at her and waited for her to say something but when she just looked away and sat back on her seat, he started getting more worried.
"Kitty, say something. Are you mad? What? Talk to me!" he said desperately.
"What do you want me to say?"
"Aren't you mad?"
"Yes, I am, but there's no point, really. Why don't you just take me home," she suggested, "you got what you wanted, there's no point in going out."
"But I still want to go out with you."
"Do you really?" Kitty asked, she tried to calm down but he was really getting her angry now, "YOU JUST WANTED TO GO OUT WITH ME BECAUSE OF SOME STUPID BET," she yelled, getting out of the car.
Lance went after her. "No, it's not all like that."
"Why didn't I listen to Jean? She wouldn't have warned me if she didn't have any reasons," she muttered, "I even yelled at her, agh, stupid!"
Lance grab her wrist, "Will you listen? It wasn't like that."
"Let me go. What reason could you have that I want to hear," she tried to pull her hand away but Lance was holding tightly.
"I wanted to go out with you, really, but I didn't know what the guys would think so when Pietro came up with the bet, I accepted because then they would think I'm only going out with you because of the bet," he explained.
Kitty looked at him furiously, and somewhat disappointedly. "What's wrong with going out with me that you needed that kind of a reason. Your friends couldn't think bad of me."
She wasn't struggling now so Lance took the opportunity and held her other hand so that she couldn't get away, but then, she can easily phase out of his grasp. He looked at Kitty and smiled, Kitty probably doesn't even remember her powers at the moment.
"Well, you see, the Brotherhood never liked the X-Men and I would never hear the end of it if they knew I like you," he explained.
"Like I said, there's no point of going out." She pulled her hand out of his grip, "I don't want to go out with someone who wants a secret relationship because he's ashamed of me."
"You're making this so hard," he groaned, "and I'm not ashamed of you."
"Did you think it would be easy?" Kitty answered, "no, wait, why wouldn't you. After all I am just practical and nice Kitty," she smiled sarcastically.
"Fine," he said as he dragged her to his car and drove the other way.
"Where do you think we're going?"
When Lance didn't answer, Kitty looked at him.
"Lance!"
"Well, you want some proof, I'll give you one," Lance muttered as he stopped in front of the Brotherhood's house.
He got out of the car and went to open Kitty's door.
"There's no way I'm getting out of this car," she leaned back, closed the door and crossed her arms.
Lance sighed, "You just have to chose the hard way, don't you."
Lance reopened her door and simply hauled her up over his shoulder. He clamped her legs so that she could stay still with one arm and close the door with the other.
Completely shock, Kitty didn't know what had come over him, "Have you lost your mind? Have you completely lost your mind?" She tried to shove her ponytail up to look if anyone was around as he walk down the front steps and across the porch.
He kicked the door open and went to the living room where all the guys were hanging out. They all looked up.
"Hey, Lance, looks like you drag in a cat," Pietro laughed.
"Listen up you losers, I'm going out with Kitty because I like her. Not because of the bet, got it?" he said.
"What the hell is going on?" Todd asked.
"Like I said, I LIKE HER!"
"Uh. okay. I think Lance have lost his mind yo!" Pietro laughed.
Lance started to walk down the porch and set her down. He looked at her disbelieving face. "Have enough?"
Kitty couldn't say anything. She was so embarrassed. She simply shoves her hands on his chest and started walking.
"Guess not," Lance muttered and went after her.
He caught her before she could get in the car.
"Not so fast honey."
"Don't you call me honey and don't you dare speak to me," she said fuming. Before Lance could say anything, she screamed, "How could you do that? That was so embarrassing," she put a hand up her face.
"Embarrassing? I thought you wanted me to tell them," he replied, "so what's the problem?" His voice full of laughter.
Kitty looked at him, she couldn't believe it. He thought this was amusing did he now.
"What in the world in funny? Are you laughing at me?"
"No, I wasn't. Damn it! What the hell am I suppose to do? You wanted me to tell them, so I did."
Kitty tried to calm down so that she wouldn't shout. "I didn't want you to do it that way," she cried out, "what you did was humiliating." She wanted to cry now and she doesn't know why. God, it's been a long day.
Lance looked at her. She looked like she was about to cry. He groaned. "Kitty, I was just doing what you wanted me to do."
"I never wanted you to do that."
"Didn't you?" he was backing her up to his jeep.
"What do you think you're doing," she asked as her back was plastered on the jeep.
"Being myself," was his reply.
"You've just better calm down," she suggested before he could advance to her any further.
He looked at her. He could see that panic in her eyes. He still didn't stop. When he was just a foot away from her, he stopped.
"Lance, stop that. You're scaring me," she whispered.
He raised a brow. He grabs her arms, pulled her up her toes and crushed his mouth to hers.
Her mind wanted to protest but her body wasn't exactly cooperating.
Lance stopped and stared at her, "Look Kitty, what is the problem? I told the guys, that's what you were angry about."
Kitty tried to think. Her brain turned into mush when he kissed her, "You know, you just can't kiss me when the mood strikes you or when we're fighting."
"Why not?" he grinned.
"Because it's not fair, that's why!"
"I see," he put his arms around her waist. "Well, back to the problem, what is it that you wanted?"
"Well, I...," she tried to think, "I didn't like the way you handled it. You can't just haul me up your shoulder."
"Why not?"
"Because... it's not decent?"
He laughed, "Cut me some slack, I haven't dated a lot of girls."
Kitty raised a brow. Ok, wrong thing to say, he thought.
"I was angry because I was insulted that you would want to keep our relationship from your friends because they think I'm not good enough," Kitty explained.
"It's not that you're not good enough, it's complicated." he sighed.
"Are we done?"
"Done?" Lance asked.
"Yes, are we done? You know, fighting?" she asked.
"I am. Are you?"
"Yes. Fighting is complicated," she leaned toward his chest.
"Tell me about it.You're such a hard case," he joked.
Kitty poked his chest, "well, at least, it's all cleared up now. Do you really care about me?"
"Yes, of course. Do you think I'd go all that trouble if I didn't," he asked. "Are we still on?"
"On?"
"Yeah, you know, the date?" he asked.
"Yes, of course," she smiled and kissed him.
Lance smiled. "You still want to drop off your stuff at the Institute?"
"Yeah, if you don't mind going back and fort," she giggled.
"Not a problem," he opened the door and let her in.
