A.N. This chapter is just a little Kietro fluffiness. Hope you enjoy!

Kitty Pryde waited by her locker for Rogue. That was where they met, and from there they met up with Scott at his car for a ride back to the institute. She waited patiently as other students made their way through the halls and toward the buses. Suddenly someone caught her eye. He stood with his back to her, obviously also waiting for someone.

~~ Hellooo hotie! ~~ Kitty thought, as she looked him up and down. He was lean, but slightly muscular with white hair. ~~ Wait! White hair! Oh. My. God! I was just checking out Pietro Maximoff! EWWW! What is wrong with me?! ~~

"Kitty? Hellooo, is anyone in there?"

"Wha? Oh hi, Rogue. Sorry 'bout that. I was just spacing out," Kitty said, startled. ~~ Like when did she get here? ~~ Kitty wondered.

"Ya okay?" Rogue asked, concern showing on her face.

"Like, of course. Why wouldn't I be?" Kitty asked, laughing nervously.

"No reason," Rogue replied, looking at Kitty suspiciously.

"Well, we like better go before Scott leaves without us," Kitty said, changing the subject. She grabbed Rogue's gloved hand and dragged her quickly toward Scott's car where the others waited. ~~ Whew! Close one! ~~

Pietro was leaning against his locker waiting for Lance, Freddy, and Todd to show up. Just as he was scanning the crowd for his friends, his eyes stopped on a girl who looked to be waiting for someone too. Her back was turned to him, but even from the back she seemed hot. She had shinny chestnut hair pulled up in a high ponytail and a shapely body. She was standing with another girl and she seemed a little nervous. Pietro leaned farther over to see whom the hot girl was talking to.

~~ Some Goth girl. Wait a sec! Is that Rogue?! Oh. My. God! That's Kitty Pryde! What the hell? I can't believe I was just checking out Pryde! Isn't that Lance's job? ~~

"Pietro, yo! You there, yo?"

"Huh? What?" Pietro asked, looking around to see who was talking to him. Todd, Lance, and Freddy were looking at him strangely.

"I was just asking if you were alright, yo," Todd replied.

"Oh, yah. Just fine," Pietro said. "Let'sgohome!"

"What?" Lance asked. ~~ I should be able to understand him by now, but sometimes he talks too fast. ~~ Lance thought.

"I said let's. go. home," Pietro said slowly.

"Okay," Lance said looking at Pietro suspiciously. Freddy, Todd, Lance, and Pietro walked out to Lance's truck. ~~ I know you're hiding something from us, Pietro. I'm just not sure what it is yet. But trust me, I will find out. ~~ Lance thought. ~~ You just wait. ~~
