Little chandeliers that hung on the walls opposite each other gave a dim romantic glow to the hallway, which led to the dinning room. At the end of the hall were two large wooden double doors that led to the dinning room. The dinning room was varnished wood designed in a unique Victorian style. There in the middle of the room was a long dining table that was capable of setting at least twenty people. Eleven of the synthetic chairs were taken by some of the occupants of the building or rather school. Each person seated at the massive table were each involved in their own being our conversation to notice one person at the table, Rogue, hardly touching a thing on her plate, seeking a way to excuse herself from dinner. Finding that she had forgotten the English report that she was given today that was due in two weeks decided to give it a shot and use that as her excuse.
Once she had said her excuse and left without letting anyone object to her leaving, found her way to the room she shared with Kitty, or as many call her Shadowcat. Kitty was one of those girl's with the size zero waists, that every girl wanted, and had short bouncy blonde hair. Her greenish-blue eyes could make anyone do Kitty's biding for her. Rogue liked Kitty's innocence she displayed so obviously, at times Kitty could be the only person to make her feel wanted, or at least put some kind of a twisted smile on her face involuntarily.
As Rogue sat on her bed she stared directly at her own reflection, in Kitty's vanity mirror. The two girls had, had many arguments about where the mirror should be placed; the arguments usually ended up in pillow fights, which were broken up by Logan or Jean. Logan cared for Rogue as his own daughter and checked up on her once in awhile to make sure everything was all right. Jean's bedroom is directly below the girls and is capable of hearing their every move.
Rogue stared at her pale complexion, dark auburn hair with it's white streak down the middle, and her tiny face, with small oval green eyes and tiny rouge red lips, that were capable of making anyone realize the reality of their lives. Being an outsider made it possible for Rogue to look in on everyone's life and see the truth. She often kept what she saw to herself in fear of offending anyone.
Being in the freakishly ocean blue striped room was making Rogue feel suffocated. She decided to take a walk someplace where she could forget everything, forget her surroundings and problems. She climbed out her window and down the tree that was conveniently outside the window, making it possible to escape. She headed to Bayville park, to just walk and think about absolutely nothing. At one of the near by benches she toke a seat and started to read. Rogue never went anywhere without a book; never knowing what boredom lies where she is headed. After awhile had passed, Rogue could feel a pair of eyes pierce through her back. She had felt the feeling a little after she had started to read. Getting up calmly and walking in the direction she felt the eyes, she scanned the area for the one who dared to stare at her. She spotted someone in a trench coat leaning against a tree, with his head bowed yet peering under the bridge of his hat at her. From his eyes she could she a tint of mischief playing in his eyes as if he knew something she did not.
