Rogue. That's all I can think about since I met her. Something tells me that's all I will be thinking about for awhile. I offered to show her around and she agreed. I'm glad she did. I asked her if she wanted to meet me for dinner and I could show her around. She agreed. I'm meeting her in half an hour. I feel sorry for her because she has to be roommates with Kitty and Jubilee. I would go crazy if those two were my roommates. They dragged her to the mall with them earlier. For some strange reason she agreed. They asked John and I if we wanted to come. Before I could say yes John quickly declined so I said nothing. I mean, what could I say? Rogue laughed and threw me a half smile before walking off with Jubilee and Kitty. Something tells me that things are about to change around here. All I can do is embrace the change. There's nothing I can do about it. I know I think she's cute. I don't know if I like her like that yet. I think I'd have to spend time with her first. I told john that and he looked at me as if I were crazy.

"You have to spend time with her before you decide if you have a fucking crush on her or not? Sometimes I do think there is something wrong with you? Look at her. She's hot. What more do you need to know," asked John.

I sighed. Did John like her too? If he did what would I do? I wasn't someone who shared.

"Do you like her?"

"I think she's hot but I wouldn't go after her. You like her more and you saw her first. Besides, Jubilee-"

"You and Jubilee?"

I have to admit I found that notion quite amusing. Jubilee and John? I had to admit made sense, sort of. It made sense in a kind of "It would happen after they died" sort of way. I wasn't about to say anything though. If he liked Jubilee instead of Rogue who the hell was I to complain?

"I don't know. All I know is she's hot."

"You say that about everyone."

"I do not."

I laughed. Trust me. He does.

"Yes, you do."

"That's impossible. Do you want to know why?"

"No, not really. Something tells me that you are going to tell me anyway, though."

"Well have I met everyone, and besides I don't think you're hot!"

Okay, that would be scary.

"Point taken."

********************************

It's now morning time, right before breakfast to be exact. I'm dressed and everything. I have just enough time to write in this journal. I want to write everything I know about Marie from last night. Well I left and met her. We met on the top of the hill where they have benches. I took her to every part of the mansion, except where we weren't allowed. She seemed to be impressed with how much I knew about the school.

"How long have you been hear?"

"A year."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Then we went to the kitchen. I took put a carton of ice cream from the freezer. She laughed and sat next to me. I got two spoons and asked if she wanted to share it with me. She agreed to.

"So, what's your story? I know nothing about you."

"What exactly do you want to know?"

"Why do you wear those gloves all of the time?"

"Well, that's easy. I wear them so that way if I touch someone they won't die. Everything I touch dies, everything, at least my boyfriend did. We kissed and something happened to his skin. He was in a coma for two weeks. When he came out I tried to talk to him but he looked at me. He told me I better stay away from him or else he'd kill me. Then my parents wouldn't speak to me. I cried every night. I finally couldn't take it. I was on my own for eight months. I'll never look back. I can't believe I told you all that. It just seems that you're the type of person I could trust. I really feel like I can talk to you," she said.

That made me grin widely. She trusted me. She had just confided in me.

"I better go to sleep because it's getting late. Do you want to meet for the afternoon tommorow," I asked.

"I told Jubilee and Kitty we could go to the mall. If you want we can do something the day after tommorow."

"Okay. Good night, Rogue."

"Good night, Bobby."

Then I went to bed and here I am now. I have to go because I have to go to breakfast and I am starving, so hungry.
