ROGUE MIND
Chapter two: friends Return

===================

Heavy boots clunked loudly down the metallic hallway sounding purposeful in the deserted corridor. Stopping only to stand in front of a large metal door, patiently waiting for it to slide open. 'Well Remy, bout time ya showed up! Ya know better than to leave me here with Peter for any length of time!' a very distinct Australian voice reached out across the room. Remy Lebeau smiled at his friends' comment and at the sour look the freckled-faced red head was getting from Peter. 'Ya know homme he's right.' Remy shot to the dark haired Russian, 'Ya jus no fun sometimes. Ya too serious. Lighten up a bit, eh.' Standing up from his position across the room, he strided over to the chuckling Cajun. 'There is nothing wrong with acting mature, something the both of you should try sometime!' Shooting one last glance at St. John, he walked past Remy and out the door. (quick AN: I love Peter, I just see him as the mature one. Considering both Remy and St. John ARE two year olds trapped in teenagers bodies ^_~)

'Wow, for a moment there I thought he was gonna to hit ya!' St. John drawled at Remy. Releasing the breath he had not known he was holding, Remy looked at his friend 'Yeah, me too. It wouldn't be so bad if he couldn't do dat metal ting.' The altercation was all but forgotten though when John brought something out from his pocket and swayed it in front of Remy's face. 'Tickets for tonight's concert.' he sang as his friends' eyes grew wide. 'How in de world did you get dose?' Remy all but shouted. 'Eh, I got my sources.' John shrugged casually. 'The point is,' he continued, 'we can sneak out later tonight, get drunk,' by now he was standing on a table, 'and maybe, oh yes, we just maybe might be able to pick up some chicks!'

Laughter now filled the empty corridor as the two boys exited the room. They agreed to meet outside of John's room at 9:00 that night. Adrenaline rushing and spirits high, they went their separate ways to prepare for tonight.

===================

'And you say that Rogue was the one who caused the damage down in the court?' the professor said in a shocked tone to Logan. 'That's right professor, I don't know how, but it was her. I'm more than just a little worried about her.' The professor nodded his head in agreement to Logan's words. Something strange was in fact going on with the gothic southerner that he could not sense. 'Well, when she gets home from school today, maybe I'll have a talk with her. I believe she may be experiencing some difficulties in controlling her emotions, and the personalities in her head.' Giving a sigh, he crossed his fingers under his chin and leaned further on his desk to face Logan, 'I was afraid something like this would happen eventually. Let's just pray this day goes without any other problems for her.'

===================

Pacing through the hallway nervously, Rogue tried not to bump into anybody. That's all she needed, to suck the life out of some 'Norm' and be ridiculed even worse than what she was now. It was so crowded though, she had to stay pasted to the wall to avoid the masses. Usually she was never this careful, but what happened this morning was enough to spook her silly.

'Move it freak!' she heard from down the hall. Looking behind, she turned just in time to see a smiling Duncan walking away from a very mad Bobby, he had been thrown into a locker by the giant meathead. 'Control Bobby.' she thought to her friend. Almost as if he had heard her, face still blaring red, he turned around and walked away. Letting out a sigh, she looked up to see that Duncan was moving straight towards her. 'Uh-oh!' her mind screamed, 'Gotta move!' She was defiantly NOT in the mood to put up with that assshole. Picking up her pace, but still trying to avoid those around her, Rogue made her way towards her next class. Behind her, she could her Duncan laughing to his jock buddies, 'Watch this!' Feeling a hard push on her back from behind, she found herself hurtling towards the girl's restroom door. 'This is gonna hurt!' she thought as the door became closer. She didn't know how right she was.

The same excruciating pain that she had felt this morning had found her once again. Clutching her head, she closed her eyes and screamed. 'Lance looks so cute today. UGH! Why does Kurt have to be so immature? Mommy, daddy?' Flashes of a family she never knew. Letting out another painful scream, she felt herself go numb. Just as fast as it had come, it was gone. Opening her eyes, she found herself inside of the Girls' restroom. She had gone through the door. 'Kitty?' she mused aloud to herself? Putting her hand to the door, she tried to phase it through. Nothing. 'Man this is getting weird!'

'Whoa! Rogue, where did you come from? That was like super cool!' Rogue jumped and spun around at the sound of the thick British accent. 'RISTY!' she screamed, 'Where have you been?' Forgetting her problems momentarily, Rogue ran over to where her friend stood. 'Ah ya know, parents. They almost didn't let me come back after........' her voice trailed off at the pained look on Rogues face. Fidgeting slightly, she grabbed her arm. 'C'mon, you must tell me everything that has been happening lately. I really must know!' With that, they made their way out of the bathroom into the masses of Bayville High.
