NOTE: Okey,this is in Pietro's POV, just thought I'd try it out. Tell me if
you like it! review!!
Pietro Maximoff had never been one to call a girl. Girls always ended up calling him. So what on earth was taking Kitty Pryde so damn long? Flashes of their disastrous date kept naggin at his conscience. For the first time in his life, he was dating a girl who was as stubborn as him. Well, he wasn't actually ~ dating~ her. "I'm pretending," Pietro reminded himself aloud, irritated at how guilty he felt.
It wasn't as if the disintegration of his plan was entirely his fault. "So I forgot to use her first name. I'm only human!" Pietro muttered, pacing the length of his room. You promised to be a gentleman, an annoying voice reminded him.
"Siren and I are going out, so hold my calls for me!" Lance's obnoxious voice rang through the house. Pietro gritted his teeth. It didn't take a genius to figure out that his stupid roomate was flaunting his relationship wit hSiren with the express intent of irritating him. And his last hope of getting revenge wasn't even speaking to him anymore, as of last night. "Great, just great."
Either he had to live out the rest of his existence watching Lance and Sire suck face, effectively ruining his reputation at Bayville High forever,...or he could apologize to Kitty and experience the joy of having what was left of his pride shredded into ribbons. Both choices were less than appealing. After an agonizing moment, Pietro swore under his breath, and picked up the phone, and began dialing.
"Whoah, are you calling that Pryde chick?!" Freddy asked, bursting into the room suddenly, with Todd close behind. Pietro slammed the phone down, and crossed his arms over his chest.
"First of all, don't call her that. Her name's Kitty," pietro began, irritated for some reason. "And two, were you guys listening at the door or something? This isn't even any of your business!"
"OOH, 'her name's Kitty'" Todd mimicked, laughing in his usual congested way. Pietro felt his temper rise. Even Freddy was having fun at his expense.
" I heard Lance say that he didn't believe for one second that Kitty'd go for you! She's shot you down, what, twice already?" Freddy chortled, as Todd and him exchanged high-fives.
"if Moron Theatre is over, I need to make a call," Pietro said, glaring at his supposed friends.
Todd snickered. "Sure thing, five bucks says she hangs up on you."
"Have faith in the Maximoff charm," Pietro assessed confidently, and dialed again. The line rang three timees before getting picked up by a breathless Jubilee.
"Hello, Xavier Institute. Jubilee speaking,"
"yeah, uh, is Kitty there?" Pietro asked, hating how nervous he sounded. It didn't help with Todd and Freddy elbowing each other every two seconds and making kissy faces.
"Who is this? ....wait, oh my god. It's Pietro right?" Jubilee's shocked voice came through, causing Pietro to roll his eyes. "Why are you calling for Kitty anyway?" Jubilee asked suspiciously.
"I'm not really up for the Grand Inquisition right now, Lee," Pietro retorted. He could practically hear the unspoken questions that the petite Asian girl was probably dying to askk. The only good part about it was that it meant that, amazingly, Kitty had kept her word and hadn't spilled their plan to her friends.
" Fine, fine. Don't get all worked up, I'll get Kitty for you," Jubilee said reluctantly. Pietro waited impatiently, and felt a sudden grin spring to his face as he heard Kitty's clear voice come through.
"What do you want Pietro?"
"Nice way to greet your boyfriend," Pietro remarked wryly.
" Maybe your brain's working a little slower than usual, but as of last night, I terminated our arrangement, since it's obviously a complete failure," Kitty told him coolly, but Pietro heard an undercurrent of irritation beneat her calm voice. Irritation was good, he thought smiling. It meant he still had a chance.
"Look Kitty, I'm...I'm sorry about last night, okay?" Pietro mumbled. The line was silent for almost a whole minute. Pietro grimaced, as Todd fell off a chair laughing. "Are you still breathing Pry-uh, Kitty?" Pietro asked annoyed, grateful that he covered his little slip.
" Yes, I'm just trying to make sure I wasn't hearing things. Did the great Pietro actually aplogize to me twice in less than 24 hours? Maybe I should call Ripley's," Kitty suggested, sounding as if she were on the verge of laughter.
This was truly mortifying. Pietro briefly considered hanging up, but gritted his teeth. Damn it, the sad fact was he needed her. "Ha, ha you're hilarious Kitty. I think you've bruised my ego enough for today. Are you going to give my plan another chance or what?" Pietro asked, surprised to find that he was holding his breath.
Another silence. She was making him work for it, Pietro realized, feeling a grudging admiration for her. "I don't know. If I do decide to try this insane plan again, there are going to be some new rules," Kitty said, and he heard other voices close by. "Uh oh."
"What do you mean, 'uh oh." What's going on?" pietro asked quickly.
"Hold on a second."
Pietro pressed his ear to the phone. He could hear Kitty speaking with Jubilee and Rogue.
"Why's he calling here anyway? I thought you said last night was just a pity date," Pietro heard Rogue say.
"Um, it was. We're um..partners for a school...project," was Kitty's response. After a few more moments. "Okay I'm back."
"Wonderful," Pietro responded sarcastically. "maybe you can explain why I'm suddenly a pity date, hmm?!"
He could practically hear her smothering a laugh with one delicate hand. "Well it was the only thing I could think of to get them off my back. WAnd besides, I wasn't exactly feeling too charitable about you last night," Kitty reminded him, the edge back in her voice.
"Cut me some slack, all right? haven't I groveled enough?" Pietro demanded, glaring at Freddy who was cracking up once again. God, were they ~ ever~ going to leave?
"Yes, I suppose so," Kitty said slowly, as if htinking it over. "Alright, but from here on out, we're doing things my way. And I promise, I won't tell Jubilee and Rogue a thing, okay?"
" fine," Pietro retorted, feeling a rush of relif. "And I don't really enjoy being interrogated every time I want to talk to you."
" I'll handle Jubilee," Kitty assured him. "But make sure you dont' tell Todd or Freddy anything either okay?" Kitty told him sternly.
" They're completely in the dark," Pietro lied, feeling a stab of guilt as he stared at his housemates. He didn't exactly enjoy lying to her, but what choice did he have, really? If he told her, she'd most likely back out of the deal.
"So where's Lance?" kitty asked quietly. Pietro exhaled.
"Where else? With Siren. They left a little while ago. Listen, what time should I come over to discuss our next step?" Pietro asked.
"Are you crazy? You can't come here! People will see you!" Kitty exclaimed.
"I assure you, coming over to my place is not a good idea either. What do you think it'll look like to people if you come over here alone?" Pietro countered.
" Like we're involved. It could be a good thing," Kitty mused. Pietro almost dropped the phone in shock.
"You're something else, Kitty. You're not quite as innocent as you look," Pietro told her, shaking his head.
"Glad you finally realized it. Now hurry up and get over here while everyone's still busy working. I figure, we have a good hour or so to scheme," Kitty said, determination ringing in her voice.
"I'll be there before you know it," Pietro said, smirking ,and hung up. he turned, and frowned when he saw the baffled stares of his housemates. "What?"
"Man, you are SO whipped," Todd and Freddy said in unison, and laughingly dodged the vase that Pietro hurled in response.
