"Come on Kitty!" he exclaimed frustration.

Kitty sighed heavily and ran her hands through her hair.

"She's at the tree," she said.

He smiled.

"Thanks Kitty," he exclaimed as he raced out of the cafeteria.

"Anyone here?" yelled John as he walked quietly through the woods behind the school.

When he was satisfied that he was alone, he leaned against the large oak tree and lit a cigarette.

"You do know those are bad for you, right?" said a voice high above him.

"Damnit!" he yelled.

He looked up to see a thin girl lounging in the branches. She jumped gracefully from the branch and landed on her feet.

"I'm Kat," she said smiling apprehensively.

"Kat!" John called as he stepped around a large tree branch.

He knew why she ran, he always knew. He heard the whispers too, the other students whispering about St.John Allerdyce's "crazy girlfriend."

Even people like Bobby and Rogue who had been two of his best friends.

"I'm sorry," said Rogue shaking her head "But she is a complete wackjob."

John looked at her and resisted the urge to set her head on fire.

"Seriously Man," said Bobby "what if it had been one of us?"

He uncurled his fist and wiped his hands on his jeans.

"Kat!" he yelled again.

"Kitty has a big mouth," said Kat as she jumped from a tree branch.

John laughed.

"In all fairness…didn't give her much choice," he exclaimed.

"Surprise, surprise," she whispered as she landed in front of him.

He loved it when she did that, used her gifts so boldly around him.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Sure…"

"Liar."

"Yep," she said sitting down on the ground.

"John!" whispered Kitty.

He rolled over and squinted in the darkness.

"What's up?" he asked.

"She's having the dream again," she whispered "I can't wake her up."

He pulled a robe on over his pajamas and followed Kitty into the room she shared with Kat.

"Kat!" he said pushing the hair from her face.

He looked down at her and grimaced. She had once tried to explain the dream to him but couldn't.

"Kat, sweetheart," he whispered.

She opened one eye and then the other.

"Hey," she whispered hoarsely.

"Hey," he replied.

"Things were just starting to get better,"

He pushed her hair behind her ear and sighed.

"Things will be better," he swore.

"Promise?" she asked.

"Absolutely," he replied.

"Well…" she said smiling brightly "Since you promised."

He took her hand and helped her up.

"Where now?" he asked.

"Training with Logan," she said rolling her eyes "Shit! I'm late!"

She kissed him quickly and then ran away.

"Love you!" she yelled as she disappeared from sight.

John sighed.

"Love you too," he whispered.
