Chapter 10
"So where did yah want to go?" Rogue asked getting up off the bench, I followed her example and then said,
"Um I dunno, know where we could get a personal pizza?"
"Ah've only been here for three days, how should I know?" She said blowing her bangs out of her face.
"So why did you cut class?" I asked after we entered the parking lot.
"Ah just didn't want to go," She half snapped, I could tell she wouldn't enjoy me asking anymore questions, so I remained silent until we reached the street.
"Okay left or right? I think there's a burger place over there... what do you think?" I asked, I saw the burger place on the way to school, and had a craving for cheese burger. Rogue crossed her arms.
"Whatever, burgers are fine."
"Okay... Let's go."
The silence was killing me so I started to hum, after about thirty seconds Rogue was getting ticked.
"Would you stop that? You're drivin' me insane!" She said annoyed, I turned,
"Well you're the one who doesn't want to talk!"
"Fine what do yah want to talk about?"
"Never mind, we're here." I informed her, pulling open the doors. She sat there for a moment and looked at me.
"Come on." I sighed. She gave me a 'I know that' look, and went inside. It occurred to me she wasn't used to having people opening doors for her, in more than one sense.
She and I made our way to the counter, I glanced at the menu and decided a # 3 would be nice. I realized I would probably need cash, so I searched Kitty's backpack; relieved that there was a couple folded bills.
"What do you want?"
"Ah--- Ah don't want anything."
"Oh come on, get something, we came here to eat."
"Ah don't have any money." She sullenly admitted. My mouth set it's self in an 'oh', but I shook it off and went to the cash register.
"We'll have two # 3's." I told the employee, he typed it in, and told me in monotone,
"That'll be $4.50."
I handed him the money, and he exchanged it for a receipt. Rogue looked at me with a countenance I couldn't decipher.
"Ah didn't ask you to do that."
"I wanted to, now come on let's get a seat."
We sat at a window booth, Rogue kept her head down not looking at me; she appeared to be thinking. I wondered if I should say something, but our number was called so I got up and went to retrieve our food. I then sat it all down on the table and dug in. God, how I love burgers! I stopped only after I realized that Rogue wasn't eating.
"Earth to Rogue? Eat your food." I said while dunking a fry.
"Ah told yah Ah didn't want anything." She replied. I knew she probably didn't trust me, and didn't like to accept help but I didn't care. I set down my burger, and fixed my gaze upon her.
"Look Rogue, it's not a bribe, and it's not charity, it's a burger, now eat it before it get's cold." I ordered. She looked up at me silently. "Come on I already bought the damn thing no big deal okay?"
"Fine." She replied, but I didn't her tone of voice told me it was more of a thank you.
Rogue tentatively picked up the burger and took a small bite. I sipped my soda and returned to eating.
"How come Ah haven't seen you at school hangin' out with you're weird friends." She inquired. I didn't expect her to ask ME anything so I was taken off guard when she spoke.
"Well, uh I was kind of in bed."
"In bed?" Rogue asked eyebrow cocked
I blushed when I realized what I said just sounded like,
"No no no no no! I mean was injured." I corrected, "So I haven't been at school."
"Thought so, cause Ah think Ah would have remembered yah. You're the only person who's tried to approach me."
I blinked, "Well what about the Lance and Toad? You've talked to them at least."
"Ah try to keep mah distance," She stopped but then added, "But sometimes I wish I could get close to somebody... But yah know want happens when do."
Deja vu anyone? She has this conversation with Scott... I nodded and then Rogue changed the subject,
"So what's your power?"
"Well um--- it was phasing."
"Was?" Rogue questioned pushing aside her empty soda.
"Well, it kind of on hiatus."
"What do yah mean hiatus? Like they don't work?"
"Yeah, something like that... it just means for the time being I can't use them." I explained
"Oh." Rogue said, not probing futher, she then proceeded to picked up the tray and dumped it's contents into the trash. I got up as well and we left at about 12:34 p.m... I wondered if Rogue trusted me or not...
