~One for all~

Kitty Pryde couldn't really be one of us, I mean could she? I had to tell Jean or the Professor. I ran up to Jean and told her what we saw. "Okay well go talk to her but be nice and patient she'll probably deny it" Jean said quietly. Be nice to Katherine Pryde!!!! No way!!! I shouted, but when she glared at me I just said yes ma'am. I went up to her, taking in a deep breath and Risty came with me. "Hey Kitty, are you okay" I asked her stupidly and she looked at me and slammed her locker shut. I could not possibly be nice to Kitty, the slut of the school. She is popular, but now since the fall things changed, Kitty is no longer miss I'm all that, she broke her ankle and is on crutches but no one is helping her, paradise for me no more Kitty cat, so why wasn't I happy. I went up to her in class today I had to do what Jean told me, at least try. I saw her stumbling to get her books; I picked them up and handed them to her. "Hey here you go, umm can I help?" I asked. She snatched the books and ran of "Just like leave me alone". I lost her again. I saw her walking outside and saw her talking to Lance that was my hook up. When she waved good-bye and left he was alone. "Hey Alvers, can I talk to you" I asked. "Whatever" He told me, "I need your help, I need to tell you a story first..." I paused; I didn't know whether I should tell him just yet about Kitty and me so I decided not to. "Never mind" I said and walked away his face stayed expressionless. I caught up to her at her locker, "Hey Kitty umm tell me about what happened in the locker room that night, I saw you" I told her immediately wanting to take it back. She stared with mouth wide open at me. "What do you want from me, leave me alone, why do you care," She yelled, dropped her books and ran. Kitty was scared, I spooked her and that was something I didn't want to do out of everything, she'll never talk to me. So next day, I tried again. I came up to her and asked her to tell me again. Instead of running she broke into sobs. "I'm sorry I just don't have a clue to what's going on with me, my parents don't know anything, what am what did I do to be cursed like this" She whimpered in long painful sobs. "Kitty it's a special gift you have, don't deny it" she looked at me like I was nuts. "What are you talking about, gift, it's a curse, I'm cursed" she yelled. "Kitty look I live at a place with people all like you and me we're different and we admit it we learned to use our powers for good I want you to come and check it out" I told her and smiled I actually smiled at her, she smiled too and nodded.

After school she followed me home and we talked. Kitty was a wonderful person now that she wasn't popular anymore, she can't be a cheerleader anymore, I felt bad for her. I had brought that subject up which I didn't exactly need to do. "See Kitty cheerleader friends don't stick by you like real friends do" That sentence was a mistake. "What do you mean, my friends are real friends and mm I still am a cheerleader so why am I talking to you" She asked and fell a little behind and I rolled my eyes. When we got to the mansion I walked in and called to Jean "Hey Jean we're here" I stretched the 'we're' to tell her Kitty came. She ran downstairs and welcomed Kitty. "Hey Kitty, so Rogue told you about what we are?" Kitty nodded, still a little teary eyed. "Well come and talk to the professor and he'll tell you about us" After she walked over and we talked she seemed to be taking in everything and we thought we had her but them she just freaked "So I am supposed to be in some school for mutant freaks" She yelled, surprised Jean and I stared at each other. "Kitty no..." She ran before Jean had a chance to finish. "That went well," Scott stated putting his hands on his hips. Next day it was the dance and Risty kept begging me to go "Come on it's gonna be fun..." She would say but I didn't want to go. I heard Kitty walk by and say she was going with Lance, what is going on with them 2? I wondered but I soon decided to go, it was another way to talk to Kitty. We got to the dance and I saw them dancing and having fun. About 10 min later Lance left and Kitty didn't seem to notice. After about 30 min. the ground started shaking it was Lance, did Kitty really like him? Everyone ran out but the X- men stayed behind and so did Kitty. "Kitty go now" I yelled but she didn't leave. "I'm one of you guys in a way I'm not leaving," She yelled back and I saw tears streaming down her cheeks, she was really hurt from what he did. "What are you doing and why" She asked. "Kitty he never cared about you, you were just another target in his life" I saw the hurt in her eyes and immediately I regretted what I said, the tears kept coming but she didn't give up, she stayed with us. He was standing on the roof as the building crashed in and she just looked up her golden eyes sparkling in the moonlight. He jumped down and Kitty backed up as he fell beside her. "Kitty get out of here NOW!!" he yelled but she didn't move. "Kitty NOW," he repeated she still didn't move. Her long pink dress spun around her as she turned and ran stopping halfway deciding she wasn't going to leave. "Lance why did you do this, I don't understand, I thought you really cared about me" He just released his fist and looked at her. "Kitty a girl like you never goes out with a guy like me, I thought it was too good to be true but I'm sorry for whatever I did I didn't mean to hurt you in any way I care about you more than you can ever imagine" He walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders leaning over to kiss her but she backed away. "No Lance, I never said I forgave you, I might but I'll never forget what you did...and I just...can't live like that," she said between tears and breaths of air. He released his hands from her shoulders and left. She still seemed hurt and held her flower bouquet tight between her hands and dropped it, splattering the petals everywhere. After the brotherhood walked out I walked out putting my hand on Kitty's shoulder. I was COMFORTING Kitty cat. "I'm sorry Kitty, I really feel bad about this whole thing" I feel BAD for her. She just nodded and moved away. Out of nowhere she just said, "I accept your offer Rogue, I wanna join the X-Men" and she looked up at me. I nodded and led her down to the mansion. I told Jean and she seemed sorry for Kitty and gave her a uniform and a room. "Kitty, Rogue you guys have to bunk together for a while until we get more rooms cleaned up" I stared at the girl in the cheerleading uniform and screamed. "WHAT!!" Both of us at the same time yelled looking towards each other. "I'm not rooming with a stuck up cheerleading hoe," I yelled suddenly not wanting Kitty with me. "Ugh... and I don't even talk to anyone who doesn't like me" She screamed back. There we stood back to back crossing our arms as Jean rolled her eyes.
