It was a week later and they were still together, much to Kitty's happiness. It was lunch and she and Rogue were sitting together. Biting into her apple she tried to focus on what Rogue was saying. "So anyway, now I have to write a paper on 'polite responses to questions'" She said with disgust and picked angrily at her salad.

"Jeez, talk about harsh, just because you snapped a bit at your teacher? How many pages does it have to be?" Kitty asked and she could see Rogue relax a bit, realizing that Kitty was on her side made her feel a little less mad.

"Five, which is next to impossible, how can I stretch maybe half a page of material to five whole pages?" She grumbled but smiled when Kitty paused in thought.

"We'll work on it tonight, reword everything you've already said then play with fonts see if we can make it stretch." Kitty took another bite of her apple and reached across the table to put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "No big, we can handle this."

"Thanks Kitty, I really appreciate you helping me." Rogue wasn't used to being treated like a best friend.

"It's nothing, besides what else are friends for beside helping you and being upset along with you?"

Rogue laughed. "You sure got a point there Kitty. Oh, here comes that boy from Chemistry, I think he's got a thing for you, you know?" Kitty turned her head to see a good-looking black haired boy coming their way. His name was Jason Parker and he had the most amazing green eyes. Him and Kitty had just been paired up to work on their Chemistry project.

"Hey Kitty, can I talk to you for a minute?" Jason asked standing beside their table, unsure if he could sit down with them. He wasn't exactly popular like Kitty, but he wasn't some nerd either. Just polite and old fashioned.

"Sure, what's up?" Kitty took another bite of her apple, munching on it.

"Well I figured that we'd make plans to work on our project." Jason said hopefully, obviously wanting to spend time to with Kitty outside of school. "How about we meet in the town library, around 6 o'clock on Friday?"

"Sounds good, I'll like, be there." Kitty smiled at him and he got up beaming.

"See you!"

Across the cafeteria Lance scowled. He'd been leaning against the wall with his arms crossed watched the exchanged between Parker and his girlfriend. It would've taken a blind man to miss the look of happiness on Parker's face.

Crumpling up his soda can in his fist he threw it in the trash can as he made his way over to Kitty and Rogue. Thumping down next to his girlfriend he threw his arm around her shoulders.

"What's shaking ladies?" He asked and Rogue eyed him.

"Good question Lance, I felt a tremor a few minutes ago, I'm assuming it wasn't natural. You spilled half the cafeteria's drinks. Including mine!"

"Yeah Lance, what got you upset?" Kitty asked innocently turning her head so they could see eye to eye.

"Uh, you know, Principal Kelly on my case." He said evasively, "Nothing big."

Rogue shot Kitty a look and they exchanged glances. "Okay, oh I gotta run, I need to ask my French teacher a question, bye you guys." She picked up her backpack and gave a cheery wave as she left leaving the couple alone.

"Lance, what really got you upset, Principal Kelly wasn't even, like, near you." Kitty demanded giving him a skeptical look.

Lance sighed and tightened his grip around Kitty's shoulder, revealing how tense he'd been. "All right... I saw Parker come over and talk to you, then leave looking like a gleeful little girl. What did you two talk about?"

Kitty looked surprised that them talking had gotten him so worked up. "We're partners on a Chemistry project, he wanted to know when it was okay that we like, get together and work on it."

"Oh," Was all that Lance said while cracking his knuckles. "I'll be back in a few minutes Kitty."
