Ah, that last one was an okay one I thought. Hope you all thought kinda the same. I like doing this and I wouldn't unless I was an X-Men freak. I am so that's why you're reading these. DUH. Ok well read on guys!

I do NOT own the X-Men.

I laughed at Rogue's question. It was silly. I wouldn't like anybody. I couldn't like anybody. Being neglected left me unable to attach to people. I could like, never love, always adore. No, never love or attach. "Rogue, I like people. Sure, there's some guys I like. Only like though." She grinned and looked intently at me. "Nobody ya would eva love or date or anythin'?"

"Rogue, I can't ever love. I can't ever attach. I can't even get close to people."

"Why not? It's ok for you. Ya'll can touch. Ya'll can't put people in comas. Ah would be grateful. Ah think you like somebody. Maybe want ta date. Now tell me."

"I'm telling you Rogue, my parents were so neglectful, so careless for me, that I would never attach to anybody after them. I knew that nobody would ever love me, like me, talk to me, so I stopped hoping people would. I knew if my parents didn't love me, who would? It's a mental thing. Not physical. But I wish I could get over it. I guess…"

" Oh. Well ah can help ya. An' so can some of the others. Don' worry, we'll help you get over it. We can set you on a date. Now tell me who ya like!" She smiled widely and looked at me even more expectantly than before.

"Pietro!? Remy!? They're both on Magneto's side and ya had to pick them?" Rogue called as we drove home. "Yeah, they're the only people I really got to know. Being where I was. But they are both actually very nice."

"Ah know Remy is, I had a thing for him an' all but he's an ass. To me anyway."

"Well maybe if you hadn't called him swamp rat."

"He told ya 'bout that!? What else did he tell ya!?" I smiled at her small embarrassment and reassured her that that was all he told me. "But you know what I did that really embarrasses me?" I said quietly.

"Embarrasses you? Is that possible?" Rogue said laughing. "Yeah, well I-"

"Ya what? Come on. Tell me!"

"I'm trying!" I laughed. "Well I-uh…kissed Pietro." The car swerved on the road and Rogue giggled uncontrollably. "Hey! Calm down! I don't want an accident!"

"You kissed Pietro!? Oh ma gawd! What did ya do tha' for?!"

"I was leaving and he made me feel really bad for doing that-and I was so upset for him and his dad…and he hugged me and then I just…kissed him…"

"Wow. Do you think he likes you?"

Back at the house, Rogue couldn't stop smiling. I tried to make her stop while we ate lunch with a few of the other students. All of a sudden, "SHE KISSED PIETRO!!!"

"Rogue!!! What the hell was that for!?!?!" I raged as she put her head on the table and laughed. I steamed as Jubilee and Kurt stared at me. They both smiled nervously and slinked out of the room. 'Rogue, I cant believe you did that! I'm so embarrassed and really pissed now!" Tabby had remained in the room and was laughing at me too. "She's in to the trouble makers too! Go girl!"

"No, not go! This is so embarrassing! I didn't know what I was thinking. He made me feel so bad! Ugh! Rogue…ugh!!!"

"Hey," she managed to choke out, "now we're even." I still was pissed, no matter if we were even. But later, I managed to laugh it off, believe it or not…

Back in my room, I sat and unpacked every thing for the final time. I swear. Jubilee came in later and started doing more homework. "Jeez, when do you get out of school?"

"Oh, um next Friday is the last day I think. We still have all this crappy homework though."

"Ha. Our last day in Maryland was Monday. Thank god."

"Lucky you. I hate school. It totally gets in the way of my beauty sleep. And I hardly have any time to do my hair and makeup in the morning as it is." Okay, she was nice until it came to the beauty thing. Well, she's the average stuck up prep. And her room was hurting my eyes. So again, I grunged it up by tossing my clothes and papers everywhere. I spread some poems and sketches on the table, out of her way, and smiled as she glared up at me. "Pleasure sharing a room with you Jubilee." Then I hung a black sheet over the window to block out the sun.

Jubilee got up and pulled it down as I plopped on my mussed up bed. "Hey, it's my room too," I said matter of factly. "I don't care. I don't want this dark thing on my window. I like the sun."

"Yeah well, I don't. And it's on my side of the room so it stays covered." Then I stood up and hung it back up. She pulled it right back down and crossed her arms. "Jubilee, did you see what I did to Rogue the other day? Did you see my hexes? Don't piss me off!"

"You cant threaten me. The professor said we only have to be nice to you because you are having a hard time. That's all. So we really don't have to be that nice. He also said if we were nice to you, that we could skip Mr. Logan's sessions. So we got a good deal!" He bribed them to be nice to me?! What the fuck?! He said he wanted to help me! To make me feel right in this world and I trusted him. I tore down the curtain and stormed out of the room.

I dashed to the kitchen and ran out the door to the back yard. Where do I go? I don't know where anything is! So I just ran straight and eventually came to a wooded area. In there, a boy ran at me. He was on fire! I shrieked and moved out of his way but moved again when a wolf ran at me. What the hell was this!? Then five boys, all the same person, ran by me. What the hell!?! This was all so hard to take…to understand! Another kid ran by who was also on fire. A girl this time. I screamed and ran to a tree and slumped against it. I cried into my hands and slid to the ground…why was this all happening to me? What was all of this? Who were these people? Why was I here!?!

Kinda dramatic I know but I think it fits in right….kinda…? Well I hope that you like this one guys. Please review okay? I want to see some feedback and suggestions. Come on! My e-mail address is in the last chapter! I want feedback and suggestions! Thanks!
