/u: No own, no sue.uChapter 4br
"Whoa! Kitty I can explain!" Toad cried when Kitty screamed. But as he
entered the kitchen, Mystique wasn't there, but instead, a guy with brown
hair was standing there. Not just any guy with brown hair, but the new
recruit.br
"Kitty, what are you doing here?" Lance asked confused, but before another
word could be said, Toad intervened.br
"You guys know each other?" he inquired, hopping up onto the counter. He
wasn't sure he liked the idea of them 'knowing each other.' He prayed to God
that he wasn't a boyfriend.br
"We went to school together in Chicago, and--" Lance stopped looking over to
Toad, "Did you just hop on the counter?"br
"Yeah, you must be Lance, I'm Toad," the frog-boy replied, ignoring the
comment.br
"I don't get it. Kitty, why are you here? Are you a mu-" he asked, but was
stopped suddenly by Toad.br
"Ah...hey...Kitty, hows about you wait in the living room? I mean, just sit
there, cause I need to talk to Lance a minute!" he said all in one breath,
while plopping her down on the couch.br
"wha--?" Kitty peeped.br
"I'll be right back!" Toad replied, hopping in the kitchen.br
"What was all that about?" Lance asked a little bewildered. iThis frog boy
was weird...br
"Look, Kitty doesn't know that we're mutants." Toad explained.br
"Then why is she here?" Lance questioned.i'Thats a good question.'/i Toad thought. They had just been walking.
It wasn't like her invited her over...they just kind of GOT there.br
"Well, ah that is hard to explain... we were walking and kind of ended up
here," he replied.br
"Kitty... and you...? Together...?" Lance looked at him like he turned into
a Swedish super model.br
"Hey, why's that so hard to imagine?" Toad asked, a little insulted.br
"If you hadn't noticed Kitty is a vain preppy valley girl, I just can't see
her giving you the time of day," Lance said a matter of factly.i'That's harsh.'/i Toad thought. iHe's almost as bad as
Mystique.br
"Okay, then how do YOU know her?" he retortedbr
"Chh... I had detention, and SHE had stayed after for extra credit, like she
needs it, and well she had flirted with me a couple times so I decided to
involve her in some 'test studying.' The teacher left, and the test was
right in his desk! But she got all uppity and righteous on me," Lance
replied, then walked over to the fridge.br
"Uhh--- Toad is everything alright?" Kitty called from the living room.br
"Uhh yeah, hold on!" Toad jumped over to the sink and got a glass and
started to fill it. Unbeknownst to him, Lance left the kitchen...br
"Hey Kitty", he said sitting down.br
"Hi...so like, what are you doing here? I mean, did Ms. Darkholme adopt you
too?" Kitty asked. Lance was a little distracted as he was looking her over,
like he done so many times in their last Math class. He couldn't help
it...he found her so cute.br
"Uh--- yah...?" Lance said, not really understanding what she meant by
'adopt' but went with it. He didn't want the frog boy to all crazy
again.br
"Oh cool. So what classes do you, like, have? Maybe we'll get the same Math
class again," Kitty said smiling. Lance blinked...was she flirting with him?
He was sure she didn't like him since that day in Math.br
"Heh, yeah maybe..."br
"Okay Kitty, got some..." Toad came in with the water, but stopped when he
saw that Lance had sat down.br
"Oh, Toad thanks!" Kitty picked up the glass and drank it thirstily and gave
a small sigh, "Toad, you are, like totally the best!"br
"Heh I know." Toad replied with a grin. Kitty's eyes suddenly went wide; she
had just remembered something.br
"What time is it?" she askedbr
"Uhh..." Toad looked to the mantel. "It's 3:30, why?"br
"Then I, like, have to go!" she said picking up her discarded book bag.
"Thanks for the water, Toad! Bye!"br
Kitty ran out the door, and Toad watched her retreating form with a
sigh...br
"Oh God, I'm late! Dad's, like, so going to worry!" Kitty's feet pounded
the pavement as she tried to trace the path that she and Toad followed. Her
house was on Bay St. house number 678, I wasn't far from the school but she
couldn't be sure how to get there from where she was.br
"Why didn't I map or something?" She moaned, Kitty's dad wasn't strict but
he worry way too much. She was lost now, on the main street, there were
shops up ahead, she considered asking for direction from one of them; until
a sporty red car caught her eye. It was coming towards her and slowing down,
she peered into the drivers seat and was met with a pair of red
sunglasses.br
"Kitty?" Scott asked. It was the guy that Kurt introduced her to...br
"Oh hey Scott." Kitty replied, suprised to see him so soon.br
"Did you need a ride? You look lost," Scott offered. He saw her while
driving down the road, and she looked frustrated.br
"Sure! Do you know where Bay Street is?" she asked, hope evident in her
voice.br
"Yeah, it's close to the school. Get in."br
The drive was short, only lasting about five minutes. He asked her
questions about her home, if she missed anyone and such. When they came up
to her home, Kitty thanked him over and over again, but he waved it off and
said, "No problem. I guess I'll see you tomorrow!"br
Kitty walked in the front door but instead of her parents, she found a note.
It said her father would working late, and her mother went grocery shopping
because they had virtually no food. Save the muffins Kitty made that no one
dared eat.br
"So I guess I freaked out over nothing," Kitty commented aloud before going
up the stairs. Her room awaited her, filled with boxes she would get to
unpack.br
"Goody," was all she said before delving into the load of work that moving
had bestowed upon her...i*Read and review*/i Ahhh! Finally done! I am really trying to get
chapters up sooner! ThanX for reading!!! /html
