Sadness – Chapter 9 – Broken Hearted
Kurt walked through the hall waiting for Scott, who usually took all the young mutants to school.
"Hey, Kurt!" Rogue called from where she was standing, on the top of the staircase.
Kurt looked up and tried to hide the pain inside his eyes, putting a huge and fake smile on his face.
"Hey!" He finally answered when he felt his voice firm again.
"Did you see the princess?"
"Umm, yeah! She is really fine, by the way. She said she is dying . . ."
Rogue raised an eyebrow.
"Dying of joy that she is back here and that I went there."
"I see. I'll visit her later." Rogue said and walked back to her room to change her pajamas.
As soon as she was gone, Kurt let himself fall on the couch at the foyer. A sigh escaped his lips while he sat. This was the worse thing that would ever happen to him. He unzipped one of the pockets of his backpack and took a small black velvety box. He studied at it for a moment and opened it slowly as if he was showing its content to someone. Inside it, there was a silver necklace with a heart as a pendant. He smiled a little as he remembered the day he bought it some weeks ago, before Kitty got lost.
~*Flashback*~
The mall was full of people talking, kids screaming chasing down each other, but Kurt made his way through the crowd to buy a special gift for his beloved girl. He had been saving his money to buy it for almost two years now. He knew Kitty was dating Lance, but his heart was still full of hope. And judging by the way Lance acted towards her, he knew that their relationship wouldn't last. Mainly because Lance didn't respect her religious conviction and because she never liked bad boys.
He stopped in front of the jewelry shop and stepped in, feeling himself as someone important. Of course the store wasn't a Tiffany or Cartier, he couldn't afford that, but it was still a good and cheap store.
One of the saleslady approached him:
"May I help you?" she said in the tone of voice she was trained to talk with.
"Actually yes. I wanted to buy a small and delicate jewelry for . . . someone I like." Kurt snapped out, feeling a little shy to admit his feelings towards Kitty to someone he had never seen in his entire life, until now.
The woman suppressed a giggle and said as if he was a three years old boy:
"Tell me about her personality. It's kind of important to match the character with the jewelry."
Kurt stopped to think a little, finally he said:
"She's perky and happy, and lovely, sometimes she acts as if she didn't even know me, but it's ok. And her smile make my knees weak." Kurt was blushing furiously now.
The saleslady walked back to the shining counter. She took some trays contenting necklaces, bracelets and rings.
Kurt gave a look at each of them, but it seemed that none of them looked like Kitty's taste. But then, when he was almost giving up this impossible task of giving a gift for a woman, his sight fell upon a simple necklace that was isolated from the other jewelry.
"What about that one?" he said pointing at the forgotten jewel.
"Oh, that. It has been here for years now. We purchased it from a decaying jeweller's shop, but it seems that nobody wants it." She explained and kept taking trays from inside the counter.
"How much is it?" Kurt pressed on.
"It's not at sale anymore."
"But I want it." Kurt said exasperated.
"Well, we can make a deal. You can pay only $ 7.00. Believe me, this piece of shit, sorry about my vocabulary, was not made of gold. It's just silver."
"I'll keep it!" Kurt said again.
The saleslady threw her hands slowly in the air, so the other people couldn't see, and said:
"Fine! I'll wrap it. You can pay to the cashier." And she gave him a coupon.
Kurt paid for it feeling as if had done a great deal. The saleslady gave it to him when he approached the counter again.
Kurt left the mall with a huge and silly smile upon his face.
~*End Flashback*~
"Kurt, are you ready?" Scott said swaying the keys of his red car in front of him.
"Yeah!" Kurt said and dropped the velvety little box inside his backpack again. "Let's go to school!"
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
Kurt watched his first three classes before break and they were as boring as ever, mainly because he didn't have his Kitty near him, so he could have something much more important than lessons to look at.
He was walking through the halls when his blood boiled inside his veins for two different reasons:
One – Lance was making out with a tall, blond and futile cheerleader in front of everybody what obviously put Kitty aside.
Two – He was free to be with Kitty, but after what she had screamed earlier this morning was quite impossible.
Kurt was about to interrupt Lance's make out session to ask an explanation when Evan took him by the back of his shirt and dragged him away. Kurt looked a up a little while being dragged away:
"Why did you do this?"
"The last thing I want is my new skate bud to be all screwed up and I think K-girl will thank me for that later. Let's have our lunch in peace." Evan said and let Kurt go when they reached the cafeteria double doors.
