Well, here's chapter 5, sooner than I thought! Enjoy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day at school, Shelby waited outside of the building hoping to catch Kurt before he went into homeroom.

Kurt walked up the steps, yawning, for he had stayed up late working on an English paper. He didn't even notice her following him.

Smiling to herself she slowly creept up behind him. "How's it going Kurt!" Her head popped up beside his.

"Scheisse!" he yelled, jumping and almost porting. "Don't DO zat!! Vhat do you want." he asked, annoyed.

"You," she said and giggled.

"I already TOLD you no, you're too strange, even for me." He walked off hurriedly, towards his locker.

Totally ignoring him, she moved closer. "So, ho do you do it? I mean, change from one thing to another? It's pretty freaky."

Kurt tried to lose her by going into a crowded hall and weave through the students.

Despite Kurt's efforts, she was able to keep up. "Well? I don't think you should be quite SO rude to me, it was a simple question dear."

Kurt gave up and answered her. "Technology. Now, may I be excused to get on vith mein LIFE?"

Shelby let Kurt's words pass right by her. "Don't you want me to be a part of it?"

"Nein, danke."

"Hey was that German?" She ran to catch up with him. "You know...I think my great aunt was German..."

Kurt turned around to face her. "Ja, I speak German, I don't care if your aunt does, I don't like you, I like Kitty Pryde." With that, he walked off, leaving her standing there.

"Kitty Pryde?" She sulked to herself. "If it's a Kitty Pride he wants, it will be a Kitty Pryde he gets!"

---Mansion---

Kurt walked out of Kitty's room after being convinced to try her muffins again... now he didn't think he'd ever feel the same.

Kitty put her hands on her hips, frowning. "Kurt, they weren't like that bad. Don't be like, such a baby!"

"Tell that to the toilet..." he muttered as he walked out.

She humphed and sat on her bed to read a romance novel.

---Outside the Mansion---

Shelby sat on the other side of the gates of the institute, reluctantly she had moved to that side, knowing that she would be further away, but had a better view of the whole estate. She glanced around the grounds for a sign of her love, but didn't seem to see anything.

Kitty got bored and went out for a walk to the Brotherhood house to see Lance. When she got to the gates, she saw Shelby searching the property. "Can I, like, help you?"

"Yeah," she replied. "I'm willing to pay you, $300 for some of your clothes," She said. pulling out her money. She had been saving it for something else, but this was an emergency. After she was to obtain some of her clothes, what Shelby planned to do with Kitty would send shivers down anyone's spine.

Kitty blinked and looked at the girl. She was sure she'd seen her around school... "What do you want my clothes for?"

She groaned, "Look are you going to give them to me or what?" She moved closer to Kitty. "Let's just keep this nice and simple alright?"

Kitty backed up, her back pressed against the gate. "What do you want? What do you mean..."

"I'm sorry you had to pick the hard way, but let's keep this short, I need to be like you. EXACTLY like you. Get it?"

"What are you some kind of freaky psycho stalker?" The words came out of Kitty's mouth before she could stop them.

Shelby just started shaking her head, and covered her ears. "I'm not a stalker...I'M NOT!!"

Kitty was about to run when Shelby looked at her again.

"You're just like all the others, hating because I'm different!" She screamed. "Well I'm not going to take it anymore!"

"Hey now take it easy! I can get you help!" Just as she said them, she knew these were the wrong words.

"Help!? HELP!? I don't *need* help! It's the rest of the world who needs help!" She came closer to Kitty. "NOT me..."

Kitty looked around nervously, hoping somebody would come, but she saw nobody, she was ready to phase if need be...

"What? Am I SCARING you? Do you want to run from me like every one ELSE?" She said, her face turning red.

"I don't want to run, I can help you. Please, don't do anything you'll regret..." she whimpered, her back starting to phase through the bars.

"I don't need help, not from 'people' and sure as hell not...from...you!!" she said, and leapt at her, hand outstretched.

Shelby's action was too fast for Kitty; she was pulled away from the bars and pushed back onto them, knocking her unconscious. The last thing she saw was a memory of Kurt...
