Chapter 2

Rogue walked down the hallway with a smile on her face.

A few days had passed and she was beginning to feel a lot better...well at least when it came to the voices in her head. They would pop up every so often like they always did, but with time and the sessions with the professor, they became less and less severe.

'Won't be too long now before I can get a good night's sleep' she thought.

She adjusted the books she carried in her arms, glancing down at the geometry book that sat on top of her notebook groaning when she realized that she had that class with Bobby.

"Dammit, Ah forgot about that...." she muttered.

She was tempted to slow her walk, but knew that Scott would scold her for being late. She would've skipped the class all together, but someone, namely the Professor or Jean would have found her, so she forgot about that plan as well.

"At least it's the last class of the day..."

The slender brunette walked in and took her seat, the one she had when she first came to the school.

"Hey Rogue! What's up?"

It was Jubilee.

The tiny Asian-American girl was known as the school gossip. She was always "in-the-know", which didn't always sit well with a lot of people apparently. The young girl talked a lot as well, so when Rogue first came into the class and hadn't said much, Jubilee was more than happy to talk her ear off.

"Hi Jubes."

"You okay?"

"Ah'm a lot better than ah was a few days ago."

"Well...that's something right?"

Rogue smiled. Jubilee was also optimistic and happy girl.

"Yah Jubes, that's somethin'...."

"Hey guys..."

The two young girls turned around at the sound of the new voice.

"Hey Kitty" they said in unison.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing much. Just trying to get the lowdown from Rogue about how she's been doing lately."

The Mississippian smirked again. She was beginning to wonder how long it would take Jubilee to get to the point. She did believe that the short-haired girl cared about her, but she also knew that her friend wanted to know about everything that happened the other day...and also how she got the stripe in her hair, since she denied dying it, which was the truth.

Kitty, a tiny girl with brown hair and blue eyes, shook her head and laughed at Jubilee.

"You are so nosey Jubes..."

"Oh please, you know you're curious too....." The raven-haired girl replied as she rolled her eyes good naturedly.

"I am, but I'm not going to harass her over it---."

"I'm not harassing her---."

"Not yet anyway. If she wants us to know about it, then she'll tell us on her own."

"Yeah, I guess. But what if she doesn't tell us on her own?"

"Then we'll tickle her her until she does...."

Rogue's eyes widened as the two girls looked over at her with mischievous smiles on their faces.

"Good morning everyone!"

All the students quieted down as Mr. Summers made his way into the room with his supplies.

Rogue turned to her right and breathed a sigh of relief. Bobby, who usually sat next to her, was not in his seat.

'Late again, probably' she thought.

Another thing about Jubilee was that she knew just about everything about everyone in the school, including their personality traits. Being late happened to be Bobby's she had told Rogue when she first came to the school.

He pulled out his attendance book and began calling off names. Once he was done with that, he walked over to the board and started the lesson.

"And if the width of the side is 3 times the length of the side, it is----so nice of you to join us Mr. Drake and Mr. Allerdyce..."

The entire class turned towards the door as the two boys walked in wit sheepish looks on their faces.

"What's the excuse this time boys?"

"Bobby froze the alarm clock again when it went off...."

"It was an accident...I hit the snooze button in my sleep and I must have frozen it.."

Scott smirked, though he wanted to bust up over the explanation, he knew that a reaction like that was very unbecoming of him, so he kept it in.

"Yes, well try not to let it happen again...now, where were we?"

The rest of the class went by without incident.

Well, not completely without incident.

Bobby had tried numerous times to get Rogue's attention, only to be ignored.

He leaned back and looked at Kitty and Jubilee, who had seen the interaction or lack thereof, and shrugged because they knew about as much about Rogue's sudden change in attitude as he did.

"Since this assignment will take a little while, it's due on Friday, so you all have the rest of today and the next few days to get it done. I don't want incomplete homework or excuses.........I'm also available for tutoring, so don't be afraid to ask for help......See you tomorrow.."

Everyone packed there things up and began filing out of the room.

Rogue was nearly out the door when she felt a hand on her arm.

She froze, not even having to turn around to know who it was.

"Let go'a meh Bobby..." she growled.

Guess Logan wasn't completely gone after all, though she wasn't completely sure if it stemmed from absorbing his chracteristics, or being around him for so long.

Bobby was a bit shaken at the tone of her voice, but decided to risk bodily harm to get her to talk to him.

"Rogue please----"

"Ah said get offa meh..." she cut him off as she snatched her arm away from him and stalked out of he classroom.

Scott looked up and quirked an eyebrow at the scene. He nealy thought that this was unchracteristic of Rogue, but all to soon the memories of her absorbing his personality as well as mutant ability flodded his mind. He shook his head, also remembering that it had been done twice.

Bobby stood still for about a half of a second before he went running after Rogue.

"Rogue, what's wrong?....what did I do?-----why are you acting like this towards me?"

"Leave meh alone you stupid popsicle!" she yelled as she ran upstairs to her room.

The blue-eyed boy could only stand and watch as his friend ran away from him.

"What te heck is going on with her?"

TBC...
