Kitty stuck her head in the refrigerator. Her stomach growled again.
"Somebody's hungry." Hank's voice said from behind her. She jumped.
"Oh, you snuck up on me." She said blushing again for at least the fifth time.
"Jean said you've been behaving strangely Kitty. You know you can always tell me when something is wrong." Xavier also snuck in.
"I'm fine really. I have homework."
That didn't last long. In between many snack breaks and troubled concentrating Kitty was asleep on her bed with her books strewn about. The nightmares ensued.
It was like the beginning. She was flying around the night skyline of the city. And she fell. She crashed abruptly on the floor, taking several books and blankets with her.
"Ow...that was weird. It was like at first. Before I came to the Institute. I'm sure it was the same dream. But I came here months ago." Kitty glanced at the clock. "Great, 4:30. Might as well do my homework." She started again.
The alarm clock buzzed loudly in her ear. She shot up.
"GAH!!! I fell asleep again!" Kitty said. She crashed into her door. "Ow. Huh? How's come I didn't go through? Oh, never mind I need to get ready." She opened the door and ran into the bathroom.
"Are you ready for the dance Kitty?" Her friend Alexis whispered in chemistry class.
"Yeah I guess so." Kitty whispered back.
"How'd chemistry go today Kitty?" Scott asked waiting for Jean at lunch.
"Better. I'm sure he's still mad at me, and my report sucked. But now I have Friday evening free for the dance." She grinned.
"Who are you going with? Kurt? Or Lance?" Jean asked joining them.
"Neither. Kurt already asked Amanda and well, Lance is...Lance. I'm just meeting Alexis and other friends there." Kitty responded through mouthfuls of food.
She failed to see the shock in her friends' faces as she was eating.
"Anyways... What are you doing Rogue?" Jean said turning to her.
"I'm meeting friends too. I've got a ride." She said, not tearing herself from her book.
"Yeah...If I could just get a ride from someone." Kitty said.
"You know you're always welcome to ride with us." Jean said.
"Yeah...I know." Kitty turned and brooded. She hated considering herself the only one not coupled with somebody. She still had an odd thing for Lance, but she refused to see him.
The bell rang and everybody scattered.
Kitty's Literature classroom was so hot. She was panting and sweating. Everybody seemed perfectly fine. She shed the pink long-sleeved shirt to cool herself.
"Miss Pryde are you alright?" The teacher inquired.
"Yeah...I'm fine." She tied it around her waist and slouched in her white T- shirt.
Kitty ran home to the institute. She stood in front of the air conditioner.
Rogue walked by, "What on earth are you doing?"
"Aren't you hot? I'm burning up!" She panted. Kitty grabbed the glass of water from last night by her bed..
"Are you sick or something? You shouldn't go to the dance if you're sick."
"No! I want to go to the dance. I'm not sick. Just really hot." Kitty said.
"Somebody's hungry." Hank's voice said from behind her. She jumped.
"Oh, you snuck up on me." She said blushing again for at least the fifth time.
