"Rogue! Rogue!"
She ignored his calls and continued walking. School was over and she wanted to get back to the Insitute as soon as possible.
"Wait up!" Inhumane speed allowed him to catch up to her and grab her by the shoulders. "WHYAREYOUIGNORINGME?!?!!"
Her eyebrows quirked at his hastiness. "Hello t' yah too."
"IknowIbetrayedyouguysbut... oh what?" Rogue's words just registered into his head. Peitro brushed back his silver hair and asked, "Your not mad?"
Somewhere in the depths of her brain screamed at her that she was associating with the guy who betrayed all mutants alike, but she failed to hear it. Instead, she shrugged. "Not mah deal. Now if you'll excuse meh, Ah've got t' catch Scott before he leaves."
Stunned at her reaction, Pietro watched her walk away and blinked rapidly. He had seen her reaction at school and now she was saying she didn't care?
What was going on?
-----------------------------------------
Her eyes narrowed as she heard whispering and soft giggles in her room. Fingering a worn-looking brown book in her hand, she pressed her ear against the door.
"Really?"
Silence.
"And Ah thought Ah was da only one," the voice giggled.
*CRASH* Startled, Rogue looked up to a disheveled Kitty sprawled on the floor. Kitty quickly recovered and stammered, "Oh like, sorry to intrude but I was like, trying to open the door but like---"
"It's alright Kitty." Rogue beamed. Kitty smiled back uneasily and stopped. Rogue... smiling? Something was up.
Rogue beckoned to empty air and said, "I was just chatting with Christine here. She's a new mutant with the same powers as me!"
Kitty stared at Rogue. Then looked to the side. "Uhm, like, there's no one there."
Disbelieving Kitty's response, she asked uncertainly, "You sure...?" Under Kitty's scrutiny, Rogue glanced to her side. "Oh, she must'ave left when you barged in. She gets scared easily."
She giggled.
Kitty facefaulted. "Did... you just giggle?"
"Sorry, Ah was thinking 'bout something that happened."
"Uhm, like okay, I guess. Anyway, I know you don't like me invading your privacy and all, but like, I couldn't resist! I think you've been acting kinda weird lately, so I found a cure!" Kitty handed her the brown book.
Rogue fingered the edges of the worn-looking book and opened it. The pages were blank. She looked up and Kitty answered, "It's like, a diary."
"..."
Kitty twirled her finger around her hair and explained, "Well, I figured since you like, don't talk to anyone about yourself, you can like, confine in a diary, you know?"
"In a diary...?" Noticing Kitty's wierd look, she patted her arm awkwardly. "Thanks Kitty." She walked into her room.
With a thoughtful look to her face, Kitty skipped down the stairs and called out quickly, "Hey Scott?"
"Yeah?"
"Is there like a new mutant by the name Christine...?"
Scott blinked. "We haven't gotten anyone new yet, and if we did, the Professor would have told introduced her to us. Why?"
"No reason."
------------------------------------------------
Dear piece of paper,
Talked to Pietro today. Seems like yesterday that he betrayed us. Oh well. Not like it matters anymore.
Kitty gave you to me, so I might as well put you to good use. Christine told me Kitty couldn't see her because only I could, since I had the same powers as her. Does that mean the Professor can't see her either? Anyway, it's nice to know I'm not the only one unable to touch.
Saw Scott and Jean whispering; I just KNOW their talking about me and how I'm pathetically useless in the X-men. Maybe I am; I should just go back to the brotherhood but I don't think they'd want me either.
Or maybe, I might meet that one strange guy with the red black eyes... what's his deal anyway?
Oh, Christine's getting jealous that I'd rather write in a book than talk to her. Good-bye piece of paper.
A/N: Sorry for boring chapters but need them to set up story. Promise next one will be better.
