CHAPTER 5 Pure Infatuation
It's been two weeks and a half since the break in, and the brotherhood is still boasting about their victory. It wasn't their first victory but it was rare that the X-men didn't foil their plans. For the Brotherhood, that week was pretty good. Pietro and Claudette's relationship was getting hotter and heavier by the day. Claudette has even gotten to a point were she sleeps in Pietro's room, and vice-versa. Nicole doesn't really like when they sleep in Claudette and Nicole's room. They prevent her from getting any sleep by all the noise making. The X-men haven't found out M's true identity. But there's one exception, Rogue. She had put it together after she received Nicole's memories. Nicole and Claudette are kind of embarrassed by Monet's overexcitement. The two still don't know what to say to Lance about it. Lance was hoping to see more of Monet, but the girls haven't merged since the break in. Todd has even gotten in better with Wanda. Wanda and Monet had become closer the night of the break in. They were having fun around each other that night. And Nicole was getting closer to Scott as time went by.

Nicole was in the girls' locker room, getting dressed out for PE. She, Damia, and Rouge were talking about outing they had been planning.
"Nicole?" Damia asked, "Rogue and I were wondering if you wanted to go out with us next week?"
"I'm not sure you guys." She replied, "I have so much to do this week. I completely forgot to do them last week because…"
"Ya had a Summers on da brain?!" Rogue stated, Damia started giggling,
"Ok whatever Rogue." She cameback with.
"Oh c'mon Nic. Ya gotta come." Rogue said, "Ah mean, we're goin' clubbin' and we want ya there."
"Besides, I want to see how you act in a entertaining atmosphere." Damia said to her.
"Ok, I'll think about it."
"Think about what?" Claudette said coming in on their conversation.
"Claudette, aren't ya supposed ta be in Geometry?"
"Not anymore. I had my classes changed to all of my sisters. So we don't have to be apart."
"Aw. That's so sweet." Damia said.
"Ouais, vous êtes un vrai petit lapin innocent. Vous me rendez malade faisant ce Claudette. (Yeah, you're a real innocent little bunny. You make me sick doing that Claudette)" Nicole said getting up in Claudette face.
"Ce qui? Nerveux que j'assure votre suivre aimé? Obtenez vrai, Nicole. (What? Nervous that I'm taking over your beloved following? Get real, Nicole.)"
"Non, je n'ai pas pensé réellement que les cons étaient si sincères. (No, actually I didn't think that idiots were so heartfelt.)"
"Sommes-nous nom appelant maintenant, Nicole? Ne soyez pas jaloux parce que j'en obtiens et vous n'êtes pas. (Are we name calling now, Nicole? Don't be jealous because I'm getting some and you're not.)"
"Est-ce qu'Oh Claudette, pourquoi jamais je serais jaloux? Je voudrais juste à maintenant et puis obtiens le sommeil. (Oh Claudette, why ever would I be jealous? I would just like to get a little sleep now and then.)"
"Pourquoi? Sommes-nous du sommeil perdant de beauté? Effrayé que les étés n'aimeront pas un tête de lit Nicole? Hmm... Vous pouvez avoir raison. Je l'ai attrapé regardant mon âne l'autre jour. (Why? Are we losing beauty sleep? Afraid that Summers won't like a bed head Nicole? Hmm... You may be right. I caught him looking at my ass the other day.)"
"Putain. (Whore.)"
"Salope. (Slut.)"
"Je t'aime, Nicole,tu peu garce. (I love you, Nicole, you little bitch.)"
"Je t'aime aussi, Claudette, tu peu tour. (I love you too, Claudette, you little trick.)"
The two girls hugged each other, then separated and laughed at that spontaneous dialog. Rogue looked at the girls confused and began laughing with them, "Vous des types êtes fou! (You guys are crazy!)"
"We know." The girls said in unison. All three girls giggled.
"What did you say?" Damia asked.
"Ah'll explain it ta ya later." Rogue told her.
"So Claudette," Damia stated, "You think you can convince your sister to go this club party, tomorrow?"
"Depends." She answered.
"On what?" Rogue asked.
"Depends on whether I'm invited or not..."
"Sugah, ya know ya are!"
"Can I bring a guest?"
"Sure. The more the merrier, Miss Attitude." Damia confirmed.
"Alright. I'll try to convince 'Miss stick up her ass'. But I don't think it's gonna work."
"Whatever Claudette. I have fun like everyone else. I just have so much to do. I had to go I have to the library every time I have homework. All because of Mademoiselle (Miss) Hot Pants here and Speedy Gonzales."
Damia and Rogue looked at Claudette, Claudette just blushed and said, "I'm sorry you guys. But you know how it is when just have to have him right then and there."
"I know exactly what you mean." Damia told her.
Claudette smiled and exclaimed, "Alright, girly!!!" She high-fived Damia.
Rogue just giggled. Nicole shook her head. Claudette was just finishing up changing in to her gym clothes, identical to all the other girls. To be different, Claudette cut her shorts prior to putting them on, making them look shorter than the other girls. While tying her shoes, the girls' gym coach came in the locker room. "OK Girls, now let's hustle. You are not on a date, you can't make the boys wait today, we have things to do."
After going in the gym, Claudette discovered she had gym with that cute guy Evan in her Biology Class. Also in their class was Lance, Scott, Kurt, Kitty, Pietro, and Amara. The coaches had everyone run laps around the gym. Then after running the required amount of laps, they announced that it was a free period. Scott, Evan, and Kurt decided to take on Lance, Pietro, and another guy's challenge in a game of three-on-three basketball. Nicole, Damia, Claudette, and Rogue sat on the bleachers talking and watching them play, but more talking than anything.
Nicole, Rogue, Claudette, and Damia were huddled around each other still talking. Nicole had her head turned away from the guys. Scott was getting hot from the heated game, taking off his shirt, and exposing his gorgeous, model-type physique. Claudette had been glancing back and forth between the game and the conversation. She saw Scott removing his shirt, and her eyes stayed glued on his chest. She was still staring at his body and trying to get Nicole's attention.
"Nicole...Nicole!" She said tapping Nicole's shoulder and staring at the same time. "Nicole! Look, Look, Look!"
"What Claudette?!!" She said turning to her sister. Claudette, still staring, pointed to Nicole the direction to look to. Nicole rolled her eyes at Claudette and turned toward Scott's direction. Her jaw dropped, she was blown away, she was speechless, she managed to mouth the words OH MY GOD. All Claudette could do was nod, and Nicole managed to get something out, a light squeal. Damia and Rogue were above them falling out with laughter. But Rogue stopped for a minute, thinking about her similar situation she had before when she too was crushing on Scott Summers.
The game was over due to coaches signaling that gym was over, the game was a draw.
Damia had to tell Claudette that the class was over, before she came out of her trance. But unfortunately, Nicole was still in her's. Claudette saw the pathetic expression on her sister's face, and she slapped her. "Whoa." Nicole said, "How long was I gone?" This time Claudette shook her head and the four girls got off the bleachers. Before leaving the gymnasium, Scott came over to the girls.
"Hey Guys." He greeted.
Damia and Rogue waved.
But Nicole and Claudette looked at his shirtless chest again and sighed, "Hi."
Damia tried her hardest to hide the laughter.
"So Nicole, are you coming to the party tomorrow?" He asked.
Nicole meekly nodded, still entranced.
Claudette looked at her sister and said smart-alecky, "What about all the work you have to do?"
Scott looked away for a brief second, while he wasn't looking; Nicole elbowed Claudette in her torso with swift force. Claudette was winded, she bend over trying to breathe. Scott saw her leaning over hugging her stomach.
"Claudette don't be silly." Nicole said being cute, "Of course, I'm coming. Work? You are so funny."
"OK, I'll see you there then."
Damia and Rogue winked at each other. Then went to help Claudette up to the locker room, while Nicole followed Scott up the stairs to the locker rooms.
Lance was nearby hearing the whole thing. Pietro was standing on the stairs waiting for him (or Claudette, whoever he saw first.) He saw Lance's facial expression, and he asked, "So are we crashing that party tomorrow?"
"You know it." Lance told him. "I don't like how friendly Nicole and Summers are. We're going to keep an eye on them at that party..."
