Editor's Notes II: Alright, it's getting a little bit annoying saying Rogue 50 billion times, so I'm just going to start writing this in Rogue's POV, okay?! Thank you.
For those of you who are actually reading this, I really appreciate it, and that's hard, because the story doesn't get updated to the top of the list!
Also, for all Jean fans, I turn Jean's character into basically the devil. I'm sorry! This is nearly the exact opposite of what she is, but, who knows, maybe she'll change. I don't know, the future is not written yet.

Chapter 3: Pride

She came up to me and sat where Kitty was sitting. 'This is silly, why would she care?' "Oh, I don't really care about you. It's just intresting, just yesterday, you didn't even think about her once." Jean said aggressively. "You, you've been in my mind before?" I was shocked, I didn't know what to say. "I've always been suspicious of you ever since we met." I couldn't believe her, I closed my eyes and shook my head. "What? Why would you... what did I do to you?" Jean put her hand on my shoulder. "A sweet southern girl? Yeah, right. I just knew there was something about you, I can just sense it." Jean had a serious/angry face now. "That's... crazy! Remember when we first met, you gave me that communicator?" I reached in my pockets and retrieved the communicator. "The one that I could talk to you whenever I wanted to talk?" Jean didn't seem to have a change in her emotion. "I thought that you wanted to start a friendship or something with me!" My heart was racing, was I backstabbed? "Listen, it wasn't my idea, I just had to find a way for you to stop running like a rat and to get you to join us." That truly hurt me, and I started burning with anger, I know I wasn't exactly the friendliest person at the mansion, but I had no clue she had already judged me. I shoved her hand off my shoulder. Jean turned her face to a smirk again and said, "I wonder what Kitty would think if I told her your thoughts?" That set me off. I violently stood out of chair and yelled, "Why can't you just leave me alone? I just want to have a friend!" I turned away and heard Jean say. "Yeah, right. Who'd want to be friends with you?" Suddenly, I just had the urge to grab Jean by the neck and not let go until I sucked out all of her memories. Instead, I just closed my eyes and walked out of the lunchroom, as soon as the doors closed, my eyes watered and a tear dropped.
"God!" I banged my fists against a locker in a deserted hall. A thousand questions raced through my mind, they weren't kind questions anymore, they were filled with hate and anger. "Why?!" I banged harder. "Why!?" I took a breath. "Look at yourself... You're breaking down over a girl... Yesterday, I would of shrugged it off... I just don't know." I touched my hair, and felt a breath of inspiration.
The next four periods in school was just a living nightmare. I couldn't concentrate on any of my work, Jean's final words at lunch would just repeat over and over again like a broken record player. During 4th period, I almost shed tears while reading poetry in Language Arts. Kurt, though, was the only one to actually notice me acting "stranger than usual", according to him. "What's going on?" He said in his German accent after class. Just when I was about to become defensive and snap back at the German, I held back and just calmly told him I had a migrane. 'Wow, first time I didn't get mad at him for asking a question.' "Ohh. Do you need to visit the doctor or something?" Augh. That was just a stupid question. "I would of visited one if I wanted to!" Why'd I burst out? "Yow! You need to see a shrink while at it." "Get out!" I demanded, shooing him away with my hands. The blue guy turned and ran away. 'Did I really have to lie to him?' My questions arose again.
5th period was mixed P.E., Kitty and Jean Grey were in my class. I grabbed my P.E. clothes from my locker and headed toward P.E., alone like usual. Suddenly, my clothes were knocked out of my hand... I knew it was Quicksilver. He stopped to look at me (with a smirk, of course) and ran out of the hall. I started to pick up my bag when Jean came up behind me and started laughing at me with her friend. 'Ignore her. She already hurt you enough today.' I told myself, it was enough to carry myself to the gym. The tardy bell rung, and I had to dress out. I put on my grey biker shorts, gloves and my navy green top. I was being careful when slipping on my top so I wouldn't mess up my hair. When I walked outside the dressing room, Kitty was standing there, looking great... hair, smile and eyes... "Today," Coach Brown projected, "we are playing my favorite game, Dodgeball!" "Oh, no..." I said it out loud. All the boys would always try to hit me, even when they were on my team. "Team Captains! How about Jean and Evan?" I'm pretty atheletic myself, but of course, I'll be chosen last because team captains are usually popularity picks. I'm just hoping I'm not on Jean's team or she'll make me run front line. To my surprise, Kitty had been selected early by Evan, and she made the next pick be me. Her beautiful smile greeted me as I walked over to her team. I grinned, and started stroking my hair. "Thanks." I whispered to Kitty. "No problem!" Jean's team huddled up and a couple of kids would occasionally turn my way. 'It's just a little bit of paranoia.' "Rogue, do you wanna play middle-left?" Evan asked me. "Uh, yeah. Sure." The coach set the balls in the middle of the court. "Ready?" She blew her whistle. Well, it looked like my mind was getting to me again, because everyone on Jean's team ran up to get a ball, even the people in the back, they all looked towards me and... "Ahh!!!" I was swarmed with incoming dodgeballs, all I could do is duck and cover my head. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. Oh my god, it felt a ton of waves crashing against me, the balls knocked me off my feet, and after the ambush ended, everyone was laughing at me. But, one person came through and offered me a hand. "Let me help you up." That beautiful voice... beautiful voice? Where'd that come from? I grabbed Kitty's hand as she pulled me up. "Thanks a lot." I said in a friendly voice. "These guys are all jerks," she stuck out her tounge to one of the boys on the other team. "they have no lives." I let out a laugh, but I took a look at Jean, she was staring at me, wearing that same smirk she had at lunch.
After Dodgeball, everyone went to the locker room to change back into their normal clothes. I waited a couple of minutes for some girls to finish changing before I started to change. Just as I had started to take off my shirt, Jean came up behind me and said, "That was pretty funny, wasn't it?" I ignored her. She seemed to get angry, and repeated herself. Just as I started to answer her, she used her mutant power to levitate me, which pretty much freaked me out. Nobody was around to see me, so she kept on holding me up. I strugged to get out of her grasp, but there was nothing I could hold on to pull me back down. "P-put me down!" I demanded. She rose me even higher, and all of a sudden, she threw my body, backwards, across the room, I screamed, but I couldn't make a noise with my mouth. My head connected with the cold locker, leading the rest of my body to the lockers, I grunted out loud, and fell to my knees to see Jean approach me. "Watch your back, Rogue..." Jean turned and walked out of the locker room, leaving me in shock.
Editor's Notes: Wow. Yet again, I think this chapter is doing great! I'm loving this alot. Keep on sending in those reviews, please! As you can see, I changed all the chapters' names into the 7 deadly sins, whichever one represents the sin the most. I'm having fun with this, and I'm already itching to continue!
