Chapter 7



Kitty and Toad walked down the hall, heading for Kitty's locker. Though Toad was still lost within his own thoughts. After Kitty left in the morning, he felt depressed. He had known this girl for like a day, and yet he felt his feelings getting stronger and stronger. Problem was she liked the new mutant Lance, and the Nightcreeper. It wouldn't be so bad if she just didn't like him. Lots of girls had let him down (well more running away in disgust) before but what was worse was now he had to watch as those two moved in on her.

'Why doesn't she like me like she likes them?' He wondered, he still sat on the table in the cafeteria; not minding that the late bell rang. Out of no where, Lance echoed though his head,

"... I can't see her giving you the time of day..."

'He's right, I know that in the end, I probably won't even be good enough for her.'

Toad fell deeper into self pity, he knew she would soon tell him they couldn't hang anymore. He got up deciding to save himself the pain and just ignore her, as much as he didn't want to...

But that's not how it happened. It turned out he was good enough, she even told him he was her best friend.

'She doesn't know that I don't want her as a friend, I want...' Toad's thought's trailed off.

"Okay Toad I will, like, just take a second, I just need my Chemistry book." She informed him opening up her locker.

8...12...30

Kitty relieved her backpack of her Math book, and extracted the needed materials from the next class.

"Hey Kitty."

Toad and Kitty turned to find Kurt walking towards them, Toad felt the need to slime him, but didn't act on it.

"Kurt! Like, there you are! Do you wanna hang out with us for lunch?" She asked him, she felt her stomach fill with butterflys. He looked at Toad, about to say something, but let it go. He didn't want to upset Kitty again.

"Sure, Pretty Kitty." He replied, sliding up next to her, and she giggled. He opened his mouth to about ask Kitty to a movie, but was interrupted, as Lance was approaching.

"Lance! Hey!" She greeted him with a smile. He replied in kind until he saw Kurt.

"So what is he doing here?" He asked eyes moving to Kitty.

"Ve are having lunch togezer."

"Chh.. Whatever." His attention turned back to her and he asked, "Kitty I was wondering if you wanted to see a movie today."

"No vay man, I vas going to ask her!!!" Kurt protested, stepping in.

"Yes VAY I asked her first." Lance replied mocking him.

"Lance, I am going to take Kitty to a movie."

"I don't think so you German fruitcake."

"ZHAT'S IT!!!"

The two ran at each other, wrestling to the ground. Kitty and Toad blinked twice, and then Kitty jumped in, telling them to stop and trying to pry them apart. Toad dragged her away.

"Trust me nothin' you can do will stop em." He calmly told her, as Lance got Kurt in a choke hold. Kurt was immobilized for a moment, but unexpectedly flipped him across the room. Students gathered and began shouting and hooting.

"Please, you guys like quit it!" Kitty pleaded, but the fighting continued, that is, until Ms. Darkholme went to see what all the noise was.

"YOU TWO IN MY OFFICE NOW!!!" She yelled upon discovering the source; the noised was silenced, and the crowd dispersed, quickly retreating away. Kurt and Lance stopped, and got up.

"NOW!!!" She yelled again, and the two made their way to her office, while Kurt mouthed 'good going'.

"Well maybe except her." Toad laughed glad for once he wasn't in their position. Kitty asked with a sigh,

"Why do they keep doing that?"

"Because they both really like you." He replied, he tried to hide the flatness in his voice. Kitty looked bummed out, she hated that they fought like that.

"Hey if you if you wanted to go see a movie that bad I'll take you." He said grinnned. Kitty looked at him,

"What?"

"Yeah, we could see the 'RING' or somethin'" He replied, he knew she was going to say no, 3...2...1...

"Okay." She smiled, Toad all but fell over, "I'll call my parents after school, maybe we could catch a matinee."

Toad was exhilarated... He was going to the movies... with Kitty...

BRINNNNNNNGGGGG!!!!

Kitty entered her Chemistry class, seating her self at the table Jean had invited her to the day before. She opened her pack back, looking for her homework. A familiar feeling gripped her, and she looked up find Duncan there. Where was Jean?!

"Oh, uhh H-hi." She said, Duncan smirked at her trembling voice, God he loved to torture.

"So I've noticed that you've started hanging out with Todd."

"Yeah, so...?" Kitty asked, the feeling was flooding her system, she wanted to leave. To get up and run!

"I didn't know your standards were so low you went for the gross and disgusting." He smiled, " Does that mean I have a chance too?" He leaned in, Kitty started to panic, she wanted to get away from him she...

BAM!

Kitty hit the floor hard, she struggled to get up using the table for support. What had just happened? Did she fall out of her chair? She didn't even feel it tip... A few people looked to see what the noise was but soon returned to what they were doing.

'How did I...'

"Hey guys!" Jean said seating herself at the table, Duncan immediately fixed his attention upon her, and Kitty felt relieved.

"Jean do you have the homework from last night? I forgot about it." He asked sheepishly. Jean smiled and handed it to him. He gave her a short "Thanks babe" and began to copy. Meanwhile Kitty took out her own.

"Kitty did you have any trouble with the homework?" Jean questioned, looking at the younger girl.

"No, it was, like, totally easy." She replied, glad Jean was there. She brought Kitty's mind off Duncan, and distracted the creepy jock from her.

"Good, and you know I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping next Friday? I could show you around the town." Jean offered.

"Omigod, that would be so cool, yes I'd love to!" Kitty replied excitedly. She loved to shop and was hoping to get some done with someone. Unfortunately, she had had a short list of people to go with. Her mother was out of the question. And she didn't want to be that cruel to Toad, Kurt or Lance.

"Great, how about I have Scott drive us there after school? I know this great place we can have lunch."

"'Kay."

After Duncan was finished copying, he looked over to the Kitty-Kat. He had it all planned out, the perfect little revenge. Though this boy usually wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, when it came to cruelty, he was a genius. All he had to do was wait...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

BRRRRINNNNNGGGGG!!!!

Toad gulped as he waited on the steps, Kitty and him at the movies. He couldn't believe it. He had never gone to the movies with a girl before, could he help not being excited?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Hi mom?"

"Yes honey?"

Kitty played with pay phones cord, as she tried to find a way to have her mother let her go.

"I was, like, wondering if I could go to the movies with my friend?"

"Movies with you're friend oh honey I don't know, I mean you just moved here and I don't know their parents and..."

"Mom, their Mom is the principal!"

Well it was partially true right?

"Ms. Darkholme is their mother?"

"Yes, so like, you already know the number and everything, we're going to catch the Matinee."

"Well I guess so..."

"Okay mom thanks bye!" Kitty said quickly before she could say no. She breathed a sigh of relief, that had gone easier than she thought, she had expected that to be 15 minutes at the least. It was probably because she had pulled out her trump card, Principal Darkholme. It was ingenious, how could her mom refuse?
