Chapter Two.
Kitty stormed through the mansion doors and let out a loud, piercing scream. She flung her backpack across the mansion foyer. Kitty started pacing up and down; she was so frustrated, how the hell was she going to get out of this assignment! Mrs. Peters was not a living in the real world; you should be able to buy everyone off or at least the majority. She had wasted the entire day trying to switch partners with every single girl in Social Life, the begging, the grovelling, oh the agony! The only thing that could have made this day worse was actually having to see that jerk Pietro.
"Kitty do yuh mind, I could still hear outta this ear!" Rogue called out from the couch. "What's got yuh so wound up?"
"I like hate my school, I like hate my teachers, I like hate my life, and I like absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, HATE PIETRO MAXIMOFF! Do you like know that Mrs. Peters my Social Life teacher actually expects me to like do an assignment with that loser! I mean if it wasn't like bad enough that I had to like take that stupid class, you know, I have to be like paired up with the most pompous, arrogant guy I've ever known! As if I would ever think about like marrying a chauvinistic, egotistical, worm like him, I mean I would never like, ever like, even consider-"
Rogue rolled her eyes and let out a loud sigh. She hated it when Kitty got annoyed, she automatically goes on rambling from one thing to the next and it is always compounded excessively with the words 'like' and 'you know'. Judging from the way she was rambling on-
"He is the stupidest, most air-headed jerk like ever. You know if it was like Lance I mean yeah maybe it wouldn't like be so bad but Pietro- hah! I would like even take Todd, you know-"
* Oh brother! How am I going to snap Kitty out of this one? * Rogue groaned and walked up to Kitty shaking her shoulders vigorously. "Kitty! Kitty? Kitty snap outta it! Kitty!!!"
"Huh? Oh hey there Rogue, when did you like get here?"
"Kitty yuh seriously need some therapy. What's the deal with yuh? Yuh've been rambling on for the last ten minutes about some stupid assignment and Pietro!" * I'm like such ah idiot! Why did I say that! *
"Pietro- assignment- I like hate my life! What am I going to do Rogue? I can't be married to like Pietro, he's so annoying! He likes take pleasure in-"
* Well at least she's come back down ah little; she acknowledges I'm in the same time zone with her! Now what would bring her crashing back down completely? Oh, I know- * "So- do I sense some hidden loving between you and Pietro?"
Kitty immediately stopped her sentence short. Her face turned an unnatural shade of red too, more like purple!
* Hah, I knew that would work. *
"Are you like totally crazy Rogue? I would rather like be covered in blood and dropped in a tank filled with man-eating sharks! Me- love Pietro! I would rather kiss a beached sea cow! I would even take Todd over him, which by the way is another reason I hate Pietro! I had to like ask every girl in class to switch partners with me, even the one with Todd- and he like smells! This has like been the most horrible, gruesome-"
*What have I done? I'm gonna go jump out the window! * "Kitty!? Kitty- Evan tore up your Brad Pitt poster and burned it!"
"What!? He did what!?"
* I knew that would work! *
"I'm so sorry Rogue but I'm just so angry. I think I'm just gonna go lie down, it's been a long day." Kitty finally stopped pacing, grabbed her backpack and headed upstairs. She hadn't even gotten halfway up the stairs properly, when the doorbell rang.
Rogue walked over to answer and there stood the man of the hour, leaning against the doorway, looking as gorgeous as always, Pietro.
Kitty saw him and phased through the floor.
Rogue let out a long groan and between seeing red and - seeing red, she finally managed to stumble out- "What are yuh doing here?"
"Nice to see you too Roguey. Is Kitty home yet?" Pietro brushed past her.
"Um- yeah Pietro come on in. Uh- Kitty yuh husband's here!" Rogue called out jokingly.
"I really like don't care Rogue. He can go stick his head up his-"
"Well you heard her. See you around Maximoff!" Rogue immediately started pushing him out the door. She suddenly felt a strong wind rush past her and she saw Pietro at the top of the stairs. * I'm not in the mood for this! * "Fine Pietro, Kitty's room is down the hall second door on the left. Don't touch anything of mine or I'll personally drop by yuh dump of a house and personally drop yuh, got it!"
"Easy there Rogue, I just want to talk."
"Yeah whatever, I'm sick of this!" - she walked out the front door and slammed it shut.
Pietro raced to Kitty's door, feeling just a bit uneasy about being in the middle of X-men territory. *Geez I hope she invites me in because I'm really not in the mood for a run in with Daniels! I wonder what the inside of her room looks like! Probably filled with bubble gum pop posters and pink stuffed animals. Typical valley girl! * He quietly rapped on Kitty's door but there came no reply. He knocked again but this time slowly turning the doorknob. It wasn't anything he expected; the walls painted in a perfect powder blue setting plastered with Brad Pitt and Tom Welling posters, contrasted with the deep purple of her roommate's. Although Pietro hated to admit it, he found Kitty intriguing; being the only girl in Bayville that he hadn't had a decent five-minute conversation with. They always ended up arguing with either him or her stomping away angrily. He walked over to the window, the view inexplicably amazing; you could almost see most of Bayville. His train of thoughts interrupted by a voice from behind.
"Like, what are you in here Pietro?" Kitty stood there with an annoyed scowl on her face.
* Wow she looks incredible! * Her deep blue eyes were complimented by her light baby blue hooded cardigan and cargo skirt to match, her chestnut brown hair resting gently on her shoulders. Normally her hair would be up in a bouncy ponytail, but not today. * As a matter of fact she looks hot! Did I just say that? *
"Pietro didn't you like hear me? What are you doing here?" Her annoyed scowl quickly gravitating to an angry one.
"Now is that anyway to greet your husband? Kitty I'm hurt, I at least expect a kiss when I get home!" *Five seconds before she starts yelling her head off. One two, three, four, five-*
"Why you little obnoxious, self-absorbed, arrogant, thick-headed jerk! How dare you like come."
* Yup, right on cue! Hah! * "Easy there Kitten I just came over to find out if you're alright with this assignment thing! I mean I don't mind working with you, as a matter of fact I look forward to every single moment alone with a pretty kitty such as yourself!" He raised his eyebrow suggestively. Pietro felt a certain attraction to Kitty, he found her to be a challenge. Being the only girl he didn't have on his scorecard was part of the reason her found himself drawn to her; then on the other hand he found that his emotions for her were somewhat genuine.
"I'm like fine with the assignment and don't like call me Kitten! Now if you don't mind I have like tons of homework, don't let the door hit you on the way out!" She brushed past him and plopped down on the bed, lethargically dragging books out of her backpack. She grew annoyed when she realised Pietro had absolutely no intentions of leaving. "Pietro what do you really want? If it isn't like bad enough that I'm forced to do this assignment with you because like no stupid girl in the like whole stupid class would like switch partners with me, I have to sit here and stare at your unsightly face and more even disgusting smell!"
"Hey I resent that! Girls would kill to have a piece of this action. I'm a gift; heaven sent." Pietro smirked.
Kitty rolled her eyes and pretended to stick a finger down her mouth. "You know I was like going to slam my head against a brick wall but I think I'll like just stay here and let you annoy me to death!"
"Come on Kitten, I'm a fun guy once you get to know me! Not to mention totally cute!"
"Yeah so is like a skunk before it decides to change the scent of your perfume! And DON'T call me Kitten!"
"Look you both know that we need to do this assignment..."
"Yeah as much as I need the Ebola virus!" Kitty chimed in.
"Hey would you at least let me finish! This assignment could be a good thing, give us a chance to get to know each other. We could even become friends, maybe even more." Pietro said with hopeful eyes.
Kitty didn't know what it was that made her go all-silent but just looking into his eyes made her stomach do flip-flops. She hated Pietro so much, that the slightest thought of spending any amount of time with him made her want to blow chunks. But it was different somehow, this time he made feel as if nothing else existed in the world, nothing else mattered... but him. He was so beautiful, his sliver hair setting off his perfect features, his large blue eyes, cute nose and even cuter lips. His physique was to die for, earning his reputation of god-like figure. * What am I saying? * Feeling her face go completely hot she strayed away from his gaze. She could feel the lumps rise in her throat as she fought hard to keep them down. Finally she stumbled out... "I guess since I'm like stuck with you, we could make this work."
Kitty struggled hard, (much to her amazement), to keep her sudden excitement silent as Pietro slowly walked up to her. He took her hand in his and she felt a tingle shoot up her spine.
"I know we can make this partnership work." He gazed into her eyes. Her deep blue eyes shimmering like pools, so passionate, so expressive, so incredible. She was so beautiful, so vibrant, so warm and caring, he gently placed his lips on hers and they both escaped reality for but a brief moment.
Kitty suddenly snapped back to reality and she realised Pietro was still kissing her. * Ew, what am I doing? * She quickly pulled away. She felt an uncertainty within her, feelings that she didn't even know she had but she quickly dismissed them. "Pietro what's like wrong with you? This is just an assignment loser! Don't you like ever touch me, or even think about kissing me ever again!"
"But I thought. never mind."
And with those with he speed out the mansion. She almost detected hurt in his voice; she even saw in his eyes. Could it be? Did Pietro actually like her? Nah... never. He goes through girls like a cop goes through donuts; we each got caught up in the moment, that's all.
* Or did you Kitty? *
