Kitty Pryde slammed her locker door shut after fixing her pony tail holder while looking at herself in her mirror. Today was going all wrong. She'd been late to homeroom that morning and she'd gotten a detention. Her of all people, had gotten a detention for running in the hall.

She wouldn't have bee running if she hadn't been late, but oh no. Someone just had to use the bathroom to smear makeup all over her face. God..Rogue seriously needed think of a new look.

"Hey Pretty Kitty."

"What do you want Lance…"

The so-called leader of the Brotherhood shrugged and walked up next to her, slowing his pace. "Sooo. How were things yesterday?"

"Well like, let's see. Do you want me to start from the beginning tell you how I woke up, brushed my hair..My whole schedule?"

Lance's eyes widened in surprise, while he looked down at his favorite x-girl. "Bad day or just a bad attitude for no reason?"

Kitty sighed. "Sorry, but yeah..Bad day..Bad yesterday." She sighed again, dramatically. "Well, like..Gotta go. I have detention."

"YOU HAVE DETENTION?"

"Pietro, since I'm a people person..I just feel that your not being yourself right now. Is something wrong? Something bothering you?" Freddy asked, while munching on stale cereal.

"Nothing's bothering. I'm fine. Perfectly fine. Don't you see me. I'm happy. Happy. Happy. Happy." Pietro threw his arms up into the air. "WHOO-HOO I'm FEELING THE RUSH!"

"Riiiight."

"Life couldn't get any better. If life was any better I'D BE A MILLIONAIRE!"

Todd scratched his head, sitting up from their torn couch. "If you were a millionaire life would be good for us too. Hey, do you got any you know..Old people in your family. A dying uncle? Crazy aunt? Somebody who needs to give their money away?"

Pietro plopped his head down on the end of the blue chair, stretching his arm lazily over the back of it, with his legs sticking out off the other end. "Todd, do you think I'd SHARE ANY MONEY with YOU if I EVEN HAD ANY?"

The strong man of the trio looked up from his old cookie crisp. "I'm sensing that your taking out your..Anger..And pain out on Todd here. That isn't very nice Pietro. We're all friends here. Why don't you share your feelings?"

"What the hell is your problem?"

Todd flicked his tongue at a over head fly. "He went to see a counselor today. The chick told him he needed to be more understand of other people's feelings. Yo, I say she BRAINWASHED him up in that joint."

"This is a very negative environment." Freddy shook his head. "It's going to take me awhile to get you guys to shape up."

"I think he's just repeating what the psych told him." Todd swallowed the fly, while Pietro looked on in disgust.

"Why..OH WHY DO I EVEN TRY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU PEOPLE?" Quicksilver stomped up the stairs and slammed his already broken door closed.

"He was trying to communicate with us?"

Freddy shrugged. "You never know what's going on with him. He'll be a confusing subject."

"Kitty!" Wanda waved at the brunette who was rushing out of school, heading towards God knows where. "WAIT UP!"

"What are you doing here? School ended..Awhile ago."

"I waited for you to get out of detention."

"How'd you know I had like, a detention?"

"Lance."

"Ah, Lance."

Wanda shoved her hands into her jean pockets. "Soo..Uh like, wanna hang out today. Do something..Anything?"

"I'm not like, really in the mood for anything today. I kinda..I don't feel that well."

The powerful black haired mutant looked at her in the face, obviously thinking and wondering if she was lying to her. "You look pretty ok to me," she said, not seeing any signs of any type of sickness.

"It's not that. I just..Have to think."

"About?"

"Things."

"What kind of things?"

"Just stuff."

"Upsetting stuff?"

Kitty stopped walking and looked at her for moment, before continuing again. "Yeah I guess your right. Upsetting stuff."

"Does it have something to do with Pietro?"

The other girl continued walking, either not having heard the question, or not wanting to have heard the question. Either way, Wanda didn't care. She had to get back to the Boarding House. If that stupid brother of hers had done anything wrong this time, there'd be hell to pay.
