Chapter Four.
A/N: Hey, hey, hey – I'm back from my vacation. Are you all happy? I know I am. I really missed home and you guys – I absolutely missed writing! I hope this chapter's alright and it doesn't suck. Remember I'm still getting back into the grove. Oh yeah, thanks to all those who reviewed the previous chapter – much love!

Rogue and Lance just didn't understand Kitty. They couldn't see what I saw in her, they couldn't see that she was absolutely incredible... Oh who was I kidding? She wouldn't go for a guy like me, she's from Bayville Heights and I'm from... well I'm not.
"Hey watch where you're... oh hi Pietro."
"Um, hey Kitty. What's up?"
"Just heading home. You want to come hang out; I'll show you how the other half-lives. That is if you're not busy or anything."
"Nah my evening's totally free."
"Great, my aunt's picking me up in a couple of minutes, if you don't mind waiting."
"I don't mind."
I should have headed straight home, I'm supposed be on till duty at the store but I couldn't pass up this opportunity. I mean she was inviting me to her house, Kitty Pryde, the most isolated girl in the school. But then again, what if dad was feeling worse and Wanda wasn't able to drop by today? I mean I really should head home...
"There's my aunt. Ready to go?"
I couldn't do it. I couldn't flake out on dad and not to mention Mr. Logan – he'd have my head.
"Um, actually Kitty, I can't. I just remembered I've got to be at work this afternoon. I'm really sorry, can I take a rain-check?"
"That's too bad. I was really looking forward to hanging with you."
"Well you could come with me, that is if... if you uh... if you want to."
"Sure, I'd love too. Let me just tell my aunt."
I couldn't actually hear what they were saying but I could sort of read their lips. Her aunt was grilling her on who I was and where I was from. Geez no wonder she had no friends. Her aunt was coming over; she looked really tough.
"Hello young man. I understand that my niece will be spending the afternoon with you, where are you from?"
"I'm from..."
Kitty put her hand over my mouth. She smelt absolutely incredible.
"He's from around aunt Mystique. Now we've really got to get going Pietro's got a lot to do."
"How will you be getting home Kitty? Do you want me to pick you up?"
"No worries, I'm sure Pietro will safely escort me home, wouldn't you Pietro?"
"Of course I will. She's in good hands ma'am."
"I'll bet she is. I'll expect you home promptly at six Kitty, don't be late."
"Yes ma'am."
That was it. With a really suspicious glance, she roared off in her BMW. Wow she was frosty, a regular ice queen.
"Are you sure you didn't want to go home? I mean you're aunt didn't seem to like me too much."
"And she would have hated you even more if she found out you were from downtown. To my aunt anyone who lives outside of Bayville Heights is just beneath the Pryde standard. Anyways she's a real pain, I'd rather spend the evening at the dentist's than with her."
"And she couldn't see that through this stupid uniform!" I rolled my eyes sarcastically. " Well what about your parents? Do they feel the same way?"
"I wouldn't know I don't have any."
"Oh... how come?"
"Cause I just don't. Now, can we please change the subject?"
"I'm sorry."
There was this annoying silence. I could tell that Kitty was hurt in some way but I couldn't tell how. I guess it had something to do with her parents. She was really fragile maybe even borderline bitter, now I see why she keeps to herself.
Kitty finally spoke up...
"So how are your parents? Are they the in your face type or do they let you have your space?"
"It's just me, my dad and my sister. I haven't got a mom – actually I can't ever remember a time when I did."
Her mouth formed a small 'o'. "I'm sorry Pietro, is it hard for you?"
I cocked a brow at her curiously. "I guess... sometimes it is."
That was the last thing we said to each other for most of the bus ride. I could tell that Kitty wasn't angry but was very upset. I regretted that I brought up the whole parents thing, it was really stupid of me.
"Listen Kitty, I'm really sorry if I said something to offend you, I really didn't mean to..."
"No Pietro you didn't do anything wrong. I'm just thinking that's all."
"But you're so quiet. You uh... you look kind of sad."
"It's nothing really, I just remembered something, something sort of sad. I'm fine, really."
She wasn't, I could tell.
A/N: So how was it? After a month of not writing, I'm sure I've become sort of rusty. Well review and let me know what you think!
