Rogue watched as Tabby put tiny cherry bombs down the pants of the teacher on café duty. They all laughed, even Jean had to laugh though she tried not to. Suddenly Rogue got the feeling she was being watched. She turned around to see Remy at the guys' table looking at her. She frowned; did he just wink at her? She shook her head to clear her thoughts.
"Like, what's wrong Rogue?" Kitty asked her friend and old roommate. (They now all had their own rooms, though there was a girls' dorm and a boys dorm.) "Ah swear tha Cajun's up ta sohmethang." Rogue replied. That caused all the girls to look over to the guys' table. Really, the guys left them alone, to busy with their stupid bet/challenge to pay attention to the girls other then in the Danger Room or when they needed something. Much to their surprise they saw the guys were staring back at them.
Amanda could only look at Kurt through the corner of her eye, if she looked at him fully she wouldn't be able to stop blushing and walking over there. She couldn't help it, he was cute, and a gentlemen; Kurt was the perfect boyfriend. And unfortunately wasn't her boyfriend. Then a thought struck her, why was he interested now? Another thought struck. The bet! Amanda thought, she knew that occasionally Kurt got dragged into the bet with that saying of his: 'Chicks dig za fuzzy dude.' Well if that's what this was about, maybe she didn't like him after all!
Wanda was Wanda. And being Wanda, when she noticed Todd staring at her, she sent a hex bolt his way. Lately even she had to admit Toad was cute with the whole inducer on, and he had gained manners, not eating bugs in front of people anymore. (Not that she'd tell anyone what she thought, except maybe Rogue, the others wouldn't let her live it down though.) Though that didn't change the fact that he was Toad, even if he hadn't been bugging or following her as of late anymore, she didn't want him to start now.
Callisto had only been at the school for two months, but she knew about the bet. She also knew Evan was staring at her. If she had been over there she would have kicked his ass back down to the sewers, she really didn't want to be involved in the stupid bet. Quite frankly, she didn't know why the guys did it, but then again… they were guys. Normally she didn't mind Evan and the bet, but if he got her into this… Not that he could, she wouldn't let him. Looking at the other girls she guessed they were thinking along the same lines.
Rahne knew that Roberto was normally a nice guy, except when he was arguing with Ray, but this bet had changed her view on him. He was too proud and wouldn't back down from the challenge, especially when Ray got involved. She sighed, why of all people did he pick her for his next 'target'? This just got her confused about her feelings for him! They were just friends, the bet would change that! She growled a wolf-like growl, there was no way she'd let him get to her and confuse her. She already had enough trouble trying to convince her parents to let her stay; she couldn't deal with this too!
Tabby returned Ray's stare right back at 'im. He wouldn't get to her. Sure he was as wild and crazy as she was, and normally she loved that fact, but he had pulled a couple of tricks on her as of late that put him on her bad side. And the bet made her even angrier. Normally, she wouldn't care, but that bet had hurt some of her human friends. By Ray too. As far as she cared if he even tried anything, he was dead. Maybe she'd ask Rogue and Wanda some moves to pull to hurt guys. It was worth a shot, and besides, she was a free person. Not tied down by one person, especially not by Ray.
He's staaaaaaring at you. Jubilee's mind taunted her. He was Bobby. Her best friend, or was till the bet came around, now he was so busy with others he hardly had time to talk to her. As of late she had a boyfriend, but they were through since yesterday, when she caught him cheating. She had tried to talk to Bobby, but had only found out he was on a date. Well, she knew why he was staring at her, and she was ticked. If she really meant that much to him, wouldn't he spend time with her? Hmph. If he even tried now, with that stupid bet on his mind, to talk to her or go out with her, she'd just ignore him; give him a taste of his own medicine.
Jean looked up at Scott then away. Why was he doing this? He was the one who told the others the bet was a waste of time. So why was he doing it now too? Besides, why her? She had just broken up with Matt, or more likely, he had just broken up with her. The bet would just cause more heartache, not just to her, but also to the others. She stabbed at her plate of food, now angry with Scott. If he wanted to be idiotic and take up the bet too, fine! But she wouldn't let him get to her. She was sure the others were thinking along the same line, with out probing their minds. Maybe it was time to show the guys how wrong their stupid bet was.
Kitty blushed, even though Piotr was three tables away she squirmed under his gaze. They were friends, why was he staring at her? It made her blush more; he didn't like her did he? She was outgoing and talked a lot, Piotr liked the quiet kind, right? Right? She would have returned his stare, if only she wasn't blushing so much! Still, was he staring at her because of that stupid bet? Oh, if that was it! She stopped blushing and got mad; she angrily chewed on her sandwich. Why were guys always the same! Like Lance! He'd dumped her for someone who didn't think much. Piotr wouldn't get to her, she'd ignore him, or… or phase through him when he tried to do anything or talk to her! That's what she'd do!
Amara had been the only one not to look at the guys' table, but at the silence from her friends, she looked up. And looked away. John had been staring at her like she was his life force or something. She hated that! Sure, the attention would be nice. But she knew what caused it. Besides, he was probably enjoying this all, if she fought back he would just find a way to get to her, and if he got to her, she'd be left heart broken. And he was never serious about this stuff. He thought girls swarmed to him, which most did, but that wasn't the point! He'd probably expect her to fall for him or something, well, she wouldn't! There was now way she'd let him get to her.
Rogue glared at the Cajun. The Swamp Rat. She hated him. Whenever he did talk to her, he ended up getting her so angry it took all her will power not to kill him, or drain him dry. But if she did that she'd have the Swamp Rat stuck in her head. Something she did not want to happen. Normally he didn't notice her, but with the way he was staring at her right now, you'd never guess that. Right now all she was to him was a challenge. Well, she'd make sure he'd lose this challenge, and pay for all the hearts he'd broken. He wohn't gaht ta mah. Rogue promised herself. She looked back at the Swamp Rat. Oh god! Was he walking over here? Yup. He was. Rogue stood up. "Bye ya'll." She said. Her friends said bye to her, knowing she wanted to get away from Remy. They understood, at least someone did. Unfortunately, she'd be leaving her friends to the guys. But they all got up and split before that happened, so… she didn't have to worry about it.
As she walked down the hall and outside, she felt an arm wrap around her. "Now chere, why you be leavin' so soon." A voice said into her ear. "Laht go, Swamp Rat, or Ah'll hurt ya!" Rogue warned him, growling. How had he caught up to her so fast? Well, that didn't matter now. " 'Swamp Rat', eh, chere? How nice. You go' a name fo' Remy already." Remy said. Rogue was really getting ticked off, and she didn't like the way Remy was touching her. She had to get out of here, fast. She tried to escape from his grip, but found she couldn't. "Damn Swamp Rat." Rogue muttered under her breath.
" 'Ello, love!" John said, popping up in front of Amara. She yelped and stumbled backwards and fell. "Er… sorry, love." He said, reaching out his hand so she could grab it. She ignored his hand and pulled her self up. She glared at him. "I'm not your 'love' and go away!" She yelled at him. John didn't look affected in the least. She huffed and walked away. He followed her. She turned around to glare at him and ran into him, but instead of falling, he caught her. Amara couldn't help but blush.
As Kitty walked away she had a feeling she was being followed. "Katya!" She heard Piotr yell behind her. She ignored him and kept walking. She didn't want to ignore him, normally she would have stopped, glad to talk to him. But not if this was about the bet! Piotr caught up to her. "Katya, did I do something wrong?" He asked. "Yes, like, you did! You, like, took that stupid bet!" She yelled at him. Piotr stared as she walked on. He didn't want to hurt her. So he did something he normally wouldn't do, he lied. "Katya, I did not except the challenge the others put out." She looked at him. "Really?" She asked.
Jean heard Scott walk up behind her. In a bad mood she turned her head as she walked and snapped. "Go away." Scott backed up a second, wasn't she always in a good mood? Rogue, Wanda, and Callisto defiantly were having an effect on her and the other girls. He sighed and walked up beside her this time. She wasn't being very fair, he mused. "Jean I know you're still angry about Matt, but I was wondering…" He began but she interrupted him. "No, Scott, I won't go out with you!" She said and stormed off, leaving him to sigh and catch up with her again.
"Jubes, hey! Wait up." Jubilee heard Bobby yell. She knew she'd regret this, but he had been her best friend… she stopped and waited for him. She glanced at him as he caught up. "What do you want, Bobby." She asked angrily. "I want to go out with you this Saturday." Bobby said in one breath. Jubilee stared at him; she hadn't expected him to be so forward… "Well?" He asked. "…No." She replied sharply. "Why not!?" He demanded. "Because you're doing this all because of that challenge you X-guys have!" She yelled. And with that walked away. Bobby grabbed her arm. "Please! Jubes, I really want to go out with you!" He said. She turned her head away, ignoring him.
"Tabby, my girl!" Ray yelled to her. When did that happen? She wondered. But she had stopped when she had wondered that and all of a sudden, Ray was next to her. "Go away, Ray." She said, sweetly. "Oh, come on, Tabby. You're not still mad about me putting spiders in your shampoo, are you?" He asked, nervously. "No, actually, I forgot about that. I was mad at you for the time you stood up and read half my diary to the café!" She snapped back. "Let me make it up for you, I'll take you out…" He started. Tabby stopped him when she grabbed some guys' arm. "Can't, he's my boyfriend!" She exclaimed. Shocking Ray and… Pietro? (A.N. My friend wanted me to drag him into the story some how.)
Rahne was getting away from Roberto when her cell phone rang. "Hello?" She asked, rushed. She didn't hear anything on the other end but a click. Someone had hung up. Who would do that? She wondered when she heard Roberto say. "Sorry, but I had a feeling that'd stop you." He said. She glared at him and tried to walk away, but bumped into someone. She fell into Roberto, who steady her. She quickly got away from him and looked up to the person she bumped into. "Sorry, Adam." She apologized, blushing. She really liked Adam. Roberto noticed her blush. He was just about to yell at Adam and drag Rahne away when…
Callisto still got lost at the stupid school occasionally. And now was occasionally. She had decided to get away and head to her next class early, but had gotten lost. Finding herself down the wrong hallway she turned around, to find out Evan had just turned the corner. He noticed her and yelled, "Hey, Callisto, wait up!" Callisto didn't run or turn away, that wasn't her style. When Evan caught up he grinned at her. "Isn't your class down there?" He asked, pointing in the other direction that she had just decided was the wrong hallway. "How about I walk you to class?" Evan suggested. Callisto stared at him. "No. And don't you have a class to get to?" She snapped. "Whoa, chill." He said. She turned around and headed down the hallway. "Go find a skater girl, Evan. If you try to get to me, you'll be the one hurt." She yelled, not even looking back.
"Cuddlebumps! Why didn't you wait for me?" Todd asked, semi- hopping/ walking beside Wanda. "I'm not 'Cuddlebumps', you idiot, go away." Wanda said, just about ready to hex him. "Aw, listen, yo, I'm sorry I haven't been with you as much as before, Cuddlebumps, but let me take you out, yo, I'll make up." Todd said. Next thing he knew, he was hexed into lockers. Thankfully, no one else was in the hallway. Todd slammed down, painfully. Unfortunately for Wanda, Todd was used to her hexes by now and just got back up and was beside her again in seconds. She glared at him. "Come on Cuddlebumps, I'm different now. I don't eat bugs in front of people anymore." Todd begged. "The point is you still eat them." Wanda replied, getting really annoyed.
"Amanda!" Kurt said just after he teleported in front of her. Amanda yelped in surprise and stepped back. "Sorry." Kurt said, sheepishly. "Lizen, I vas vondering if you vould go out vith me?" Amanda was blushing so she had to look down. Then, after controlling her blushing, she looked up. "Why don't you go find another girl. After all 'Chicks dig za fuzzy dude.'" She imitated him. Kurt looked fairly embarrassed. "Zhat vas before I met you vough, Amanda, I'd veally like to go out vith vou." Kurt tried. Again with the blushing, what was wrong with her! Amanda berated herself, Remember, he's only here because of a stupid bet. With that in mind, she looked at his hopeful eyes and told him one thing. "No."
Thankfully for the girls, the bell rang. Which meant they all got away form the guys and got to their classes. It was only a few seconds after the second bell rang that the girls got into a telepathic conversation.
…He's being an idiot. He called me 'his girl'! Tabitha complained. They had exchanging stories for a while now.
Listen, we have two more classes before school's out. I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to see the guys at the mansion yet. Jean said. So how about we go to the mall then see a movie. That'll get us out of the mansion for hours.
I'm, like, in. But we won't all fit in your car… maybe I can, like, go home real quick and get my car… Kitty began.
No, Kitty, that's okay. I have my car here, I'll drive. Amanda said, quickly stopping a disaster.Sure, I'll go. I need some new shirts. St. John destroyed half them with that one trick he and Bobby pulled. Amara told them, angrily.
Don't mention that name around me! God, Bobby's so, ugh! Um… anyway, I'll go too. Jubilee said, she sounded tired. And since she was in geography, she would probably fall asleep soon.
I'm in too, I guess. Och! I donnea think I can survive thas class. Ray keeps askin' bout ya, Tab. Rahne sounded annoyed.
Ray's in your class. Sorry. Remind me to put cherry bombs in his closet, that oughta set him straight. Tabitha said. And I'll go too. Tabby shot in after a couple seconds.
I suppose I'll go. Anything to keep away from the mansion and Evan for a while. Callisto sighed.
If it'll get me away from Toad, I don't care if it's a mall, I'll be there. Obviously Wanda.
Ah dohn't want ta bea lehft heare. Ah guess Ah'm in to. Rogue finally gave in.
All right, we'll meet in the cars. Jean told them all before she cut the connection.
