Chapter 1

Kitty strolled briskly down a narrower corridor that would eventually reach a joint to the wider main hallway. She smiled contently at herself. This was her second day in Bayville High and she was proud of herself not to screw up and create a bad impression on the day before. The freshman held her books closer to her chest and felt her steps growing lighter.

* * *

"Fuck man! This school stinks! How many detentions does that old freak wanna give me? Urgh!" a guy with messy brown bangs and a brown vest over his black t-shirt cursed under his breath as he sped up his steps. It was the end of school, and he wanted to get out of the place before his history teacher gets him. And -hopefully- Mrs. Barter would forget all about his punishment by the next day.

* * *

Just then...

*BANG*

"What the fuck?! Watch where you're goin'!" Lance scolded. Kitty gasped as the books she was holding on to had spilled all over the floor. The young freshman gave out a soft whimper when she heard the harsh tone of the person she ran into, and timidly picked up all her books.

Lance looked at the person who had collided into him. She was petite and small-built. There was something familiar about her presence, but Lance shrugged it off thinking that there were probably thousands of female students around here similar.

Kitty stood up. She was surprised that the person hadn't moved away. He seemed to be just standing there staring at her with a piercing gaze, as if she had offended him. Kitty felt very uneasy. "I-I'm s-sorry," she managed to say, bowing down apologetically.

At that moment, Kitty faced up to see who that person was. Her eyes widen in shock...

* * *

Large, innocent blue orbs seemingly pierced into the dull brown ones of Lance. For that second, Lance held his breath. 'It's her...' he mentally said. 'Kitty?' the familiarity of the girl's name came flowing back. And so did the memory of the first time he met her...

-Flashback-

*Lance was spray painting the row of lockers in his previous school in Northbrook. He wasn't aware of the constant banging of someone in a certain locker. Suddenly, she accidentally phased through her locker and ran into his chest. Lance was trilled to see someone as 'abnormal' as him and wanted to see how she did that again. But unfortunately, the girl was terrified when Lance proved to her that he had powers of his own too, and she ran away.

*On the school's rooftop overlooking the track, Lance was thinking of a way to sneak into the teacher's office when he noticed a scene at the high jump pit. There was that girl again. A solution struck him: he could use her. However, she was being taunted by a bunch of girls. He started to have a sense of protectiveness, as he was aware of her vulnerability. He sent a tremor at one of her tormentors and buried her in the sand. Lance guessed the girl probably saw him because she started to run away again.

*Lance quickly followed the brunette, and found her in the auditorium. She was very troubled. She tried to vent her anger but instead, her powers ended up making her go through everything in her path. Then, a stranger showed up and tried to help her. The stranger was 'abnormal' too. But the girl was afraid again and wanted to escape. Lance saw her ran out, while he tried to warn the red head to stop hurting her.

*He caught up with her. Lance asked for her name. At first she didn't want to tell, Lance was fine about it. Then, she started breaking down and was sobbing, Lance assured her that he could help her, and she was so grateful that she hugged him and sobbed into his chest. The feeling was something Lance had never experienced. It was a form of love he was never given. Soon, he learned that her name was Kitty (Katherine) Pryde.

*Lance managed to get her phase into the office and let him in. He then started on getting on his cheating 'mission'. However, Kitty had realised his motive. Her parents and that red head showed up and she chose to go with them instead of him. He was upset, and brought the school down on her. But she was lucky to escape, and also helped her parents get to safety.

He never saw her since then, but her name still lingered...

-End of flashback-

Her sad blue eyes reflected everything he had remembered. Lance recalled how upset he was. The words were still vivid before she left him... "Kitty! I thought you were with me?" Lance said angrily, tightening the grip on her wrist. "No! I take that back! I take everything back, including ever knowing YOU!" she retorted as she phased out of his grasp and ran away.

Then, he remembered what he had thought...

'Damn it! How could she just leave me? I thought we were friends at least? Fuck! She didn't have to say those things to me! WHY?' he thought angrily. He watched the whole school reduced to only a pile of concrete. 'Somehow, she was the first person who made me so angry. Yet coincidentally, she was the first person who ever made me feel loved, but now...'

'Did I kill her?' he thought to himself. 'I wished I did. But then again, I also wished I hadn't. Because then, I could never ever see her again. Whatever! Like real if i ever get to see her again? She's just a girl and I don't see why I should keep thinking about her anyway... Yeah! But then, it hurts man...'

* * *

Kitty stared in shock. 'It's him again. Why is he here?' the thought came to her mind. Never had she wanted to see him again, especially ever since he made use of her. Kitty hadn't remembered ever crying so much in her life... and for someone like him? It wasn't worth it...

She backed off a few steps before running past him. She was gone. And all Lance could do was stand silently at the hallway, whispering her name- "Kitty"
