Chapter Twenty:
What Happened to Six Special Girls
Katherine woke with a blinding headache. She looked around in confusion. This certainly wasn't the school.
That's when the alarm clock went off.
"Turn it off," moaned a voice some where by her foot, Opal's voice.
Ruby rolled over from the other side of the king sized bed and blinked.
"Some one tell how the hell we all wound up in the same fucking bed," she demanded of her five friends.
"Cameron and I got scared of the poster up in her room," replied Fallon as she sat up on her elbows.
"Jafar," moaned Cameron from the foot of the bed. Ruby kicked her.
"Ach! My boobs," she yelled. They all laughed. "Hey I might need them one day."
"Opal," continued Ruby. "You had a whole goddam bed to yourself."
"I got lonely," she admitted. Ruby kicked her.
"My kidney," she yelled.
"Ahh--You got another one," said Ruby.
"I have to pee," Opal continued.
"OUT!" Ruby demanded. "You just lost your community bed privileges."
"Weren't you in two bedrooms last night," said Cameron's mother from the door.
"Ugh," Ruby moaned.
"Breakfast is ready," the woman continued.
"Mom," Cameron said. "We spent the whole night fighting off evil government dudes and saving the lives of small children. I think we earned an extra couple hours of sleep."
"I made bacon," she continued.
Instantly six girls were up and racing down the stairs to the kitchen and began stuffing their faces with bacon.
"Did you all see that Logan guy in action last night," Ruby asked. "Dude, he had these claw things coming out of his knuckles and all, it was so totally awesome."
"I gave him some of that beer you stashed away," put in Fallon.
"I almost missed Peter's knocking waking me up this morning," Cameron said not knowing that simple statement would send the very emotional Fallon into tears.
"Great," said Ruby in annoyance. "Now Sarah Burnheart's crying."
"Not nice, Ruby," said Cameron.
"I miss Peter," Fallon moaned. "And Marie and Bobby and Ororo and Scott. . . and even John and Jean and the Professor and Kitty and Teresa and-"
"The rest of the school as the condensed version," snapped Ruby
"Shut it you fucking bitch I'm having a fucking breakdown here," Fallon screamed. "It's not my fucking fault my fucking empathy has been fucking off and I'm getting every fucking emotion from a fucking two hundred yard radius. Okay, so fucking shut it!" Fallon's hands flew to her mouth. "Where did that come from? And how many times did I just say the "f" word?" Everyone was a little creeped out by Fallon's spontaneous eruption. "I think that was John."
They all burst out laughing as they set the empty dishes in the sink.
"Let's go for a walk," suggested Cameron as they headed up to get dressed. So got dressed and were on their way.
