Chapter Two
Flashback
"Agggh, John it ain't no hurry. Slow down! Yah pullin' mah armh out of mah socket!"
"Come on Rogue, we gotta get to the library before all the good books are gone!"
"No offence John, but yah don really seem the type that would worry about things like that."
"Usually I don't, BUT."
"Ah knew it! Ah knew it! Yah have tah git this grade tah pass, don yah!"
"Well, not rea..Ok, Ok, yeah I gotta get this and since partnered with me you can help. So we have to go now, before Bobby gets the good books."
"This is ridiculous. Could yah at least let go of mah arm? And stop pulling me! Ah can walk!"
*Rogue*
*Professor? *
*Yes, could you please come to my office*
*Ah, sure*
"John.John!"
"What?"
"We have to go to the Profs study."
"What for?"
"Ah don't know!"
"Alright, alright. I'll come but it'd better be quick."
Rogue rolled her eyes as John changed their direction and ushered her to the Professors study.
Charles Xavier looked up as a harassed looking Rogue was all but pushed into his room by a harried looking St John.
"Ah, Rogue and John. Wonderful."
"How can ah help yah Professor?"
"Well dear, a new student has arrived today and I was wondering if you would do the honour of showing him around."
"Him?"
"Yes."
"Today, as in now?"
"Yes John, today while it's still light."
"She can't! She has to come with me to the library! Sorry Professor, you'll have to get someone else to do it."
With that John, once again, grabbed Rogue by her arm and dragged her out the door.
*Sorry Professor*
"John! That was so rude!"
"Yeah well, our project is more important. Come on."
Rogue shook her head, but followed him down the stairs. In the foyer they passed without stopping, the startled Scott and Ororo. A stranger was with them and she caught a startled glimpse of red eyes before the door slammed shut behind her.
At the library John did settle down and do some work. For half an hour. Honestly.
A continuously tapping pen stopped Rogue from doing too much. She tried to concentrate on the words before her. John tapped harder. She looked up and glared. He stopped and tried to read. His eyes began to flick around the library. His thoughts were clear on his face. BORING. The tapping resumed. This time Rogue got physical. A sharp kick to John's shins stopped him. But not for long. Rogue threw down her pen, glared at him and snapped,
"John, do some damn work. Ah want this grade as well but ah'm not going ta do it all bah myself!"
"But it's soooo boring!"
"Ah didn't pick the subject, so stop whining."
"I ain't whining."
"Yes, yah are."
"Not."
"Are."
"Not."
"John.."
"Why can't we just get the book out and copy it?"
"'Cause that would be plagiarism and Prof would know we'd copied it."
"Oh."
"Yeah, so just concentrate some more ok?"
Half an hour of silence reigned.
"What's the time?"
"There's a clock on tha wall."
"Hmmm, it's ten to six and the librarian is glaring at us."
Rogue sighed and started packing up the books. John sat back in his chair confused.
"Roguey. What yah doin'?"
She half frowned, half grinned at the nickname.
"The library closes at 6. We need these books. We can git them out and work on it at home."
"Ohhhh so that's your secret plan."
"What plan?"
"Your plan to spend more time with me than with Bobby!"
"John. Pull yoah head in."
"Yes madam." He replied, eyes gleaming.
They made their way to the desk and waited while the man behind the counter gave them evil looks and checked out their books.
By the time they got out it was dusk and John was complaining of hunger.
"C'mon Rogue lets go get something to eat. We don't have to be back till 11."
"Ah dunno, John."
"Oh come on, when was the last time you went out?"
"There's a good reason why ah don't, Johnny."
"Yeah but all we're gonna do is eat and then maybe a movie."
At the mention of the movie Rogue looked at him sharply.
"Oh come on Rogue. Don't look at me like that. You know what it's like for me at the institute. I'm the 'unstable' one. Everyone's always watching me, they always think I'm going to do something irresponsible. I just wasn't to get out for a while. Away from it. Spend a Friday night with a girl, on the town. You could do with it too. Everyone's always on your back, watching. Don't think I don't notice. Even your beloved Bobby flinches if you get too close, since last time. Come on, Rogue. We both need it. We both deserve it."
Rogue had flinched away and half turned at the mention of Bobby, but at Johns closing words she turned back, eyes laughing.
"All raght. What's on at tha movies?
John grinned. "First, we eat!"
