Chapter 4: Week One Part 1
~*~ -Friday, afternoon- ~*~
"BITCH!"
"Rogue calm down! You're seriously overreacting!"
"Ah know what Ah saw! An' you had no right to do that, ya whore!"
"Remy kissed ME! I didn't kiss HIM! Do you honestly think I'd do sucha thing on purpose?! Knowing that you like him and all!?"
Rogue stomped towards Angelica with fury, un-gloving her left hand. "Ah thought we were friends, but Ah guess Ah was wrong! Ya lil' hussy!"
Angelica decided to be on the defensive, so she chose not to unleash her claws and fangs but to use the hand-to-hand combat training she had received in only the past week. It had only been one week, and all she could think now was, ~What the hell have I gotten myself into?!~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*~ -The Previous Monday, morning- ~*~
"And like, this will be your room" bubbled Kitty Pryde, opening a door.
"Wow!" exclaimed Angie when she followed the valley girl into the huge room, "I think this room alone is bigger than my apartment back in the City!"
Kitty giggled at Angie's remark. "You're gonna be rooming with Rogue for right now."
Angie made questioning face, "Rogue?"
Kitty chuckled, "Don't let her name fool you, she has a total heart of gold. AND as a plus," she paused making an advertiser's kind of voice, "you get an in-room bathroom, with all the luxuries of a bathtub, toilet and sink! So you don't have to bother with all the long early morning lines to the communal bathrooms!"
Angie was laughing long before Kitty finished her "ad". "Kitty, you are something!" she said with a smile.
"Well, it's true! If you had been around before the explosion at the mansion, you would have hated every morning. Getting up and going to the bathrooms was like, a total race! It's definitely a plus that the Prof decided to add more rooms with bathrooms in them." Kitty exclaimed with such seriousness.
Angie chuckled at the other girl's "serious" advocacy. Putting her bags on the foldable cot, "Man, it sucks you're leaving tomorrow, I mean I wish we could spend more time together to get to know each other better and all."
"Like I totally feel the same way! I only just met you and I'm leaving tomorrow, along with most of the other students. And you seem like sucha cool person!"
"You too, but I guess we'll catch up after summer, right?"
"Right! Well, if you need anything don't hesitate to grab a crazy person running around the mansion and ask. I swear, everyone always leaves their packing for the last minute!" Angie chuckled once again. Kitty made her way to the door, "Oh! Before I go, the Prof told me to tell you to go down to the Med Lab after you unpack and get settled. He wants you to see Dr. McCoy before you get involved with any 'extra-curriculars' if you know what I mean?" she added with a wink.
"I'm not gonna have to get any needles poked into me, am I?" Angie asked with a wince.
"Only if he's feeling in a good mood." Kitty laughed when she saw Angie flinch, then left the room to let her to unpack.
~*~ -that night- ~*~
Angelica lied face down on her cot reading a book when she heard someone at the door. A girl with brown hair and a white stripe came into the room with several shopping bags in her arms, she was apparently struggling with them. "Uh, do you need any help with those?" Angie asked.
Rogue looked up, startled, "Huh? Who the hell are you?"
Angie got up from her cot and walked towards the struggling girl, "My name's Angelica Ramirez," she grabbed a couple of the other girl's bags, "but everyone calls me Angie" she said with a heart-warming smile.
Rogue felt kind of embarrassed, this was not one of her greatest moments. She had spent the entire day at the mall with Jean... yes, Jean Grey. It was the redhead's idea to spend some "quality time" together since they were going to be the only girls at the Institute for the whole summer. "Might as well get started now!" Jean had said. Rogue decided she had a good point and went along with the idea, what was the harm in spending the day with Jean? Try, over exceeding the maximum amount on your Professor's credit card! ~Damn! The Prof is gonna kill us!~ Coming back to the present, Rogue realized she hadn't introduced herself yet. "Ah'm sorry, Ah've had sucha...rough day. Mah name's Rogue. You can put those next to mah bed."
Angie put the bags next to Rogue's bed. "Well, it's nice to meet ya Rogue."
"You too. Angie, right?" Rogue's head was still wondering.
"Right." Angie paused, "No one told you I was rooming with you, huh?"
Rogue threw herself onto her bed, she was tired as hell. "Huh? What?! No, when did this happen!?" Rogue sprang up.
"Uh...yeah, we're roomies. And as for when, I'm not too sure my self." Angie made a bewildered face.
Rogue laughed, not at Angie but at the awkward situation. She spent the entire day shopping, and when she got home she was greeted by a total stranger in her room who was going to be rooming with her. This was definitely not the average day. "So, you're a mutant, right?"
Angie walked back to her "bed" and sat down. "Well if I wasn't, why would I be here?" she said sarcastically.
"The scenery." Rogue bluntly put it.
Both girls laughed.
"So, what's your curse?" Rogue inquired.
"Curse? Do you mean my power? Or as the Professor put it, my 'gift'?" Angie put up her hands to make quotations marks with her fingers.
Rogue laughed, "Curse, power, gift! Call it what ya will, either way it's a pain in the ass!"
Angie laughed, "I hear ya! It hasn't even been a week since I've had it, and it's already a pain in the ass. Who ever said sharp claws and fangs were fun!?"
"HA! I bet ya mah power is worse than yours." Rogue challenged.
"Ok, what's your power?" Angie was up for a challenge.
"Ah can't touch anyone. EVER! Unless Ah wanna suck 'em dry of their life force."
"Girl! At least you can control what you do with yours! I go all berserk when I bust out these babies!" holding up one hand like a cat about to scratch, and the other pointing at the incisors in her mouth. At that moment, she looked like an incredible idiot.
Rogue burst out into a storm of laughter, she just couldn't hold it in.
"Oh well fine, laugh at my so-called curse." Angie said with a smile. She picked up the book she was reading earlier and lied down, listening to the endless mirth in the background.
After Rogue regained her composure she noticed the title of the book Angie was reading. "Othello."
Angie looked up, "Yeah, I LOVE Shakespeare."
"So do I!" Rogue exclaimed.
"Really! Which one of his plays is your favorite?" Angie was happy to know she wasn't the only freak who loved a 16th century dead guy.
"Romero and Juliet, hands down."
"Oh come on! That is so cliché!"
"Well, what can I say! Ah'm a hopeless romantic. Very hopeless." Rogue added with a smirk.
Angie chuckled, "Well for me it's Hamlet."
"Why?"
"Because it's semi-mystery, semi-love story and full out scandal all in one! And, I guess I kinda have a thing for wild and crazy guys."
Both girls laughed together once again.
For the rest of the night the two girls got to know one another, with bursts of laughter and giggles breaking in from time to time.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*~ -Tuesday, morning- ~*~
"BYE!!!"
"Bye!"
"Later!"
"I'll see ya soon!"
"You take care!"
These were the phrases being heard from everyone out on the front lawn of the Xavier Institute. Most of the students are going home for summer break, to spend time with their families for a much awaited vacation.
"Well, you guys better take good care of my new buddy here" holding Angie by the arm, Kitty was talking to Kurt, Scott, and Logan. "Me and Angie haven't spent that much time together, but I'm sure we're gonna be the best of friends! So, she better be in one piece when I get back!" Kitty eyed Logan with the last remark.
"Don't worry half-pint, I won't work the newbie out TOO hard." Logan gave Angie a smirk.
Angie rolled her eyes.
Kitty wasn't convinced, "That means no dangerous Logan sessions!"
"OK! He heard you! Now can you let go of my arm! You're cutting off circulation!" Angie was getting a little annoyed.
"Opps! Sorry, hehe." Kitty finally let go of her arm.
"Thank you. Well, I guess this is See You Later." Angie admitted.
"Yep, not Good-Bye." Kitty added.
"Yeah, cause Good-Byes just suck."
The girls chuckled, hugged and said their "see you laters".
The guys gave Kitty a hug and a kiss and told her good-bye, then she got in a car and left with the rest of the other students.
The Professor, Ororo, Hank, Logan, Scott, Kurt, Jean, Rogue, and Angie were the only ones left on the front lawn as the cars drove away. These were the only faculty and students that would be present at the Institute for the entire summer. If anything should go wrong in the world, they would be the ones to set it right.
"Ok. Scott, Kurt, Jean, Rogue, I want you all suited up and down in the Danger Room in 20 minutes. Pronto!" Logan barked.
"AW, MAN!" were all whined in unison by the young X-Men.
