Chapter 5
Days flew passed rather quickly.
Days became weeks.
Weeks became a month...
Kitty and Lance's friendship grew deeper. Despite the numerous bad things about Lance that shot out from Scott's mouth, Kitty ignored. To her, they've only seen the not-so-desirable side of him. Lance was the sweetest guy she ever met. Lance, similarly, was discouraged by Todd and Fred. Pietro had no comments. He too didn't give a damn. Kitty may be kind of a ditz and one of the X-Men, however, that didn't stop her from being HIS angel.

[Chemistry...]
"LANCE ALVERS! Once again, you have failed Chemistry! Do you even pay attention in class and study?" the teacher scolded. Lance groaned. He knew this would come. He looked at Kitty, who sat beside him, wondering how she would think of him. He turned back to look at the teacher who was still lecturing him on the importance of the subject.
Just then, he felt a gentle hand touched his shoulder. He turned to meet Kitty's sad smiling face. "It's alright, Lance. You may fail this time, but you can always try and try again. I'm sure you will pass the next test," she consoled. Lance nodded gratefully, but inside, he was afraid that it would be far from possible.
"I will give you one last chance, Mr Alvers. If you do not pass the next test, I suggest that you drop this subject," the teacher said firmly.
SHIT
He cursed inwardly. 'I am so DEAD'
Lance didn't wanna drop Chemistry. Of course it's not because of the subject or the teacher. It's because of the girl sitting next to him. Chemistry was the only class he and Kitty shared without the other mutants. If he drops it, he'll drop his heart.
*R-I-N-G*
* * *
Kitty and Lance strolled out of the room. She noticed Lance's expression, and knew that he was sure himself that he wouldn't make it. Then, an idea struck her. "Why didn't I think of that earlier?" she mumbled.
"Lance!"
"Huh? Yes, Kitty?"
"I was thinking... well, like, since Chemistry is one of my better subjects, perhaps I can, like, tutor you or something."
Lance's eyes widened.
"Really?" he exclaimed. 'Whoa... Just Kitty, me, and Chemistry...' he thought. (Not that kind of Chemistry but...)
Kitty nodded.
"Yup!"
"Wow! Thanks, pretty Kitty. I guess I'll see ya after school! Bye!"
* * *
Days became weeks.
Every other day and during the weekends, Kitty and Lance would meet up someplace conducive enough for the tution. Kitty was very patient. She knew Lance wouldn't really understand because, obviously, he hadn't paid any attention during the lesson since 1st Year.
Lance knew that he was a bit slow, but that could be changed since Kitty was his tutor. She was a great teacher to him. He REALLY understood. And that kind of shocked him. Kitty constantly complimented him and that boosted his determination.
"Correct! You're really getting it, Lance. You know, you can be really smart if you study," she said and giggled. Lance could feel a smile tugged at the side of his lips. 'This is the life! Kitty and me... spending more time together...' he thought and kind of dazed.
* * *
The day of the Chemistry test of Doom has finally came.
Lance took a big gulp as the teacher passed down the papers and took a slight glance at Lance. 'I better not fail this. I will not fail. I will not fail. I will not fail,' he chanted in his mind. Every question he'd done and the mock tests Kitty gave him were fixed in his mind. He was surprised he was not as nervous as he expected.
"Time now is 11. You have one hour to complete the test. You may begin now," she said.
Lance looked at his paper. 'Yes, this is it!'
He looked at Kitty and found that she gave him a wink and a thumbs up.
Whoa...
Confidence overflowed him.
* * *
"So how do you find the test?" Kitty asked.
"Well, it was okay. Not as difficult as what I expected," he replied.
Kitty smiled.
"That's good. I'm sure you'll pass. Just by the way you did the paper, I think you'll do much better than what you think."
Lance was touched.
"Hey, thanks Kitty. Without you, I don't even think I'd lay a finger on that paper..."
Kitty smiled.
'Gosh! My heart is melting...' the thought came to Lance.
"Kitty, would you wanna go to the Movies with me? My treat."
"Sure, Lance."
* * *
[Next day...]
"This test, is rather difficult, but if you did study, you can pass," the teacher said. Everyone was either biting their nails, breaking a pencil or holding the table in fear.
"There are a number of FAILURES, but the class did fairly well," she continued. Lance cringed under the word 'failures'. Kitty noticed that and held his hand to comfort him. "Very well, I shall return the papers."
Everyone went up to her to get their papers when she called out the name. There are some that clutched tightly to their hearts and give out a loud sigh. Others were seen slapping the paper on their foreheads. And a few held no expression. Kitty got and A+ as usual... Lance realised that he was the last person. 'This is bad' he thought.
"Lance Alvers."
Lance walked up to her nervously. Everyone was staring at him.
Some were whispering things like, "Whoa... He's in for it again."
"Lance, you have always disappointed me. Sometimes I really wonder why you took on this subject," she said. Lance tried to prepare himself for the worst. "However, this test over here..." she lifted up the paper with its back facing the class. "Showed me otherwise," with that, the teacher turned the paper around to face him.
A big [A]
Lance was totally shocked! An A? 'Yes! I got an A!' he exclaimed inside. He was stunned and tried to take the paper without trembling. His hard work and effort showed clearly on it. "You are a smart kid, young man. All you need is hard work and effort. Well done!"
"Hey! He probably cheated!" someone shouted from the back. The teacher shot him a death glare. "Do not accuse your classmate of cheating. Mr Alvers did not cheat," she said, then looking at Lance, she continued, "I saw how dedicated you are. Ms Pryde did help you a lot, didn't she?" Lance nodded and smiled.
"All of you should learn to be like Lance. He wasn't good at Chemistry, but he was determined!" she said and ask Lance to go back to his seat.
Once Lance got back, he gave Kitty a big hug. The class cheered. Kitty was stunned, but she liked the feeling, so it didn't matter at all...
