Shout outs. Yes I will be giving shout outs! It's like bribery. Give nice reviews and I will give shout outs. Here we go, thanks to Kaminarimon and Rogue for being the first people to review. Also I'm sorry storm child that you couldn't review and I'm trying to fix that problem.

So on with the story!

Chapter 2: Sanctuary

Rogue was on her bed studying for her Geometry exam. The room she shared with Kitty was unusually quiet. Kitty had gone elsewhere to study for her various exams. She had just gotten into 'study mode' when she heard the familiar *BAMF* outside her door. Then a knock.

Without glancing up from her notes she said, "Come in Kurt."



Kurt quickly opened the door, slipped in, and closed it. Then he leaned against it and slid down until he was sitting on the floor.

Rogue raised an eyebrow.

"She vouldn't think of looking in here, vould she? The last place she vould look vould be in her room right?"

"Ah don't know. She's a smart girl. She might think of it because it would be the most unlikely place you would be."

Kurt whimpered and put his head in his arms.

"Why are you hiding from Kitty?"

"She is studying for her German exam. It involves an essay at the end on any subject, but it has to be an German. So she has been asking me thousands of questions and I just couldn't take it anymore!" Kurt's answer was rather muffled since his head was still in his arms.

"You can stay in here and study as long as you are silent." Rogue stressed the last word.

"Danke schön, Rogue, danke schön!" With that Kurt opened his Health book, once again, and began to read, still in his position on the floor.

Rogue smiled, shook her head slightly, and continued to read her notes.

A half hour later ( Kurt had moved on to studying for World History and Rogue was still on Geometry) Kitty gave up looking for the missing Kurt. She had even checked the roof and when she couldn't find him there she stamped her foot and yelled, "If I fail this exam I'm blaming you!"

A pigeon who was perched on the edge of the roof was startled into flight.

After apologizing to the bird, Kitty phased through the roof deciding she had better start working on her essay even if she didn't understand half of the material.
