Chapter Eight.
3 WEEKS LATER...
"Alright class please pass your assignment sheets to the front."
Kitty got up and placed the sheets on Mrs. Peters desk.
"Ah Miss Pryde. I'm glad you see you safe and sound; I for one was sure you and Mr. Maximoff would have killed each other by the end of the first week!"
The entire class started snickering. Kitty felt her face go red and she looked at Pietro, he gave her a shrug.
The bell rang for lunch and Kitty made her way to the cafeteria. She walked through the huge wooden doors and looked around for her fellow X- team. She saw Rogue gesture to her and she walked over to the table. She sat down sluggishly.
"Where are the others?"
Rogue shrugged her shoulders and took a bite of her corned beef sandwich. Kitty watched her as she bit into the disgusting looking thing and gave a short sigh.
"What's wrong with yuh?" Rogue inquired from her friend.
"It's just that... my assignment with Pietro is over now." she said in a hushed tone.
"So what's the problem, it was bound to end sometime!"
"Like that's the problem! How am I going to see him now Rogue? Before I could like always use the assignment excuse but now all the guys would like know it's over and Scott would definitely not want me spending any time with Pietro. I'll have to like give him back his ring... Rogue! Rogue help me!"
Kitty was in a total panic now. Rogue had never seen this worked up, at least not over a guy; it was normally more like shopping.
"Kitty chill! I'm sure we'll figure something out! You guys will just have go without seeing each other for a while yuh know. Just enough time for everyone to forget about the assignment and get involved with other things."
"Like not see Pietro! I don't think I can do that!"
"Gosh Kitty it's not like he's attached to yuh hip or anything... it's either yuh guys cool it for a while or yuh'll have to cool it permanently!"
"Yeah, I like guess you're right. Can I like keep the ring?"
"I don't see why not. You could put it around a chain or something!"
"This is like gonna suck!"
OVER AT THE BROTHERHOOD TABLE...
"So the assignment's over now yo, you gonna ask her out!" Todd inquired from his friend.
Pietro sat there poking at his lunch looking rather gloomy. How was he going to see Kitty now that the assignment's over? He won't have an excuse any more after he asks her out on the date; he'll win the bet and everything will be over. Could he live without being with Kitty? Should he just tell her and get everything out in the open?
"What's the deal with you yo? Are you gonna ask her out now that you're actually on speaking to each other?"
"Would you quit bugging me?!" Pietro yelled so loudly that complete silence filled the cafeteria. He stood up dumped his tray in the bin and walked out the doors.
"What did I do yo?"
Kitty saw him storm out from where she sat and quickly ran after him.
Pietro stood in front his locker angrily kicking the door in. Kitty slowly walked up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. He spun around and hugged her.
"Kitty... I missed you so much." He squeezed her even tighter.
"Pietro you're like so weird, we just had class together."
He looked into her eyes. He couldn't lie to her anymore... everything had changed; he was truly and honestly in love with Kitty. He couldn't deny it anymore. He thought that if he didn't admit it to himself maybe it would all go away but that too was a lie.
"Kitty..." his voice broke, "would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
"I would love too but do you think it's a good idea? The assignment's over now so won't everyone get suspicious if they like see us together?"
"I don't care... I have something I want to tell you."
"Well, I guess if it's like that important to you."
"Great! Um... meet me outside La Mode at 8:00."
"La Mode? Isn't that like the really expensive French restaurant? Pietro no, that place is like way not..."
"Kitty please, don't worry about it. I want to take you there..."
"But Pietro!"
"Kitten... please?"
"Like alright... I guess."
He leaned forward and kissed her. The bell rang signalling the end of the lunch period. Pietro grabbed her backpack from off her shoulder.
"What class do you have next?"
"We..." pointing to herself and Pietro, "both have Geometry remember?"
"So I guess you're coming with me then." He held his hand out to her. She smiled warmly and slipped her hand in his.
Unknown to the couple, standing in the shadows was Todd. He had a sinister smirk on his face and he was chuckling slightly.
"Pietro you sly dog, you're playing that Kitty for the fool! I'm gonna be at this restaurant, I won't miss this for the world yo!"
