Hangover Hell

Chapter Nine: A New Rumor

*******

Marissa and Jessica hid behind the corner of the school. So far they saw Pietro's car, Scott's car, Lance's car and a group of people standing around looking like they were having an argument.

"What in God's name is Pietro doing, with ^her^?" Jessica hissed quietly, flicking her hair back and putting on some lip gloss.

"I don't know, why the hell would any guy with half a brain blow you off, a sexy cheerleader, and go off with pitiful Pryde and show up at school with her. God you were even drunk, most guys wouldn't even have thought twice!" Marissa ranted to her friend. Jessica growled through her gritted teeth. Suddenly a thought popped into her head.

"I get it now!" Jessica exclaimed happily, "He saw I was drunk and didn't want to take advantage of me, so he went ahead and got Pryde drunk! I don't she's perfect good-girl virgin Pryde anymore!" Deep down, Jessica knew that it wasn't true, but she convinced herself that was the truth.

"Are you saying that- Ohmigod! Let's tell everyone, even if it's bullshit. That loser Pryde will be the center of unwanted attention!" Marissa laughed, silently she knew her friend was hurting because she wanted to hook up with Pietro BADLY, she knew that spreading rumors about the one who Pietro seemed to like more would cheer her up.

"Amen to that" She agreed slyly, adjusting her cheerleader's outfit, she and Marissa ran off, ready to make Kitty's life hell.

*******

They were walking together, Pietro's arm around Kitty's shoulder, both recovering from what had happened almost 5 seconds ago.

"I can't believe I, like, said all that stuff to Scott" Kitty whispered bowing her head down.

"Shh, it's okay, he's just going to back off a bit that's all, he'll be over it by the end of the day, and I'm sorry I got you into this" Pietro soothed

"You have nothing to be sorry about" Kitty spoke firmly, "I would've been in an even bigger mess if it weren't for you, I'd be lost somewhere walking around in circles, and I'd still end up getting busted by Scott"

Pietro chuckled softly, "I can just see it now, Kitty going around the same block over and over wondering if she's any closer to that lovely mansion of hers" He joked

Kitty punched him on the arm playfully, "Hey I didn't mean THAT lost. I like to think that I can like at least get close" She giggled.

Pietro smiled warmly at her, Kitty felt her cheeks slowly burn as she got lost in his smile. 'Why does he have to be like so god-damn hot!?' Her mind screamed when an annoying voice broke through her thoughts.

"Now what do we have here Kitty, tell me how long did you cry over me last night before you paid this guy for prostitution support?" Her new worst nightmare teased.

"Actually, I completely forgot about you 2 seconds after we broke up" Kitty retorted coolly.

"Uh huh" One of his friends with spiked brown hair remarked sarcastically.

"That's why we've heard you wouldn't come outta your room last night" His other friend made up, not knowing if it was true or not.

"If you knew what was good for ya, you'd fuck off, right about.now" Pietro warned sternly with his fists clenched.

"Or else what huh tough guy?" Jason, Kitty's ex challenged, he then turned to Kitty and said, "Why don't you introduce us Kitty?"

"I don't think there's any point in introducing lowly pieces of bullshit to my friends, it's just not worth my time" Kitty announced, missing that it had pissed Jason off.

"You stupid bitch!" He yelled about to throw a punch at Kitty when Pietro cut in and caught the punch.

"What kind of a sick fuck are ya? You don't friggen go around and punch girls" Pietro sneered pulling Jason's arm and giving him a swift punch followed by a kick at the gut.

Jason clasped his stomach in pain before using all his will-power to stand straight and order his 'boys' to leave the scene with him.

Kitty buried her face in her hands and sank to the floor, Pietro caught her and rubbed her back. She let the tears out and Pietro soothed her softly continuing to rub her back. "Thanks" she whispered in between sobs now crying in his chest. They stayed together like that for a short while with a mutual respectful silence.

*******

"They're just rumors!" Rogue yelled out to everyone in the hall next to Remy, "Kitty would NEVAH EVAH stay in the same room as that motormouth lunatic! Let alone sleep with him! Ah think yah gotta get yuh facts right!"

After staring at her, some people whispered among themselves and Rogue rolled her eyes, "Honestly, haven't they seen Kit and Pietro together? They don't say a line to each other if they're not filled with insults!" Rogue laughed in disbelief

Remy laughed too, not believing her completely different other side. "Yeah chere, Remy believes you, but don't y'think dat mebbe y'roommate abd ex- alcolyte would make and int'restin' match?"

"Yeah, Interestin' would be right, the kinda relationship that is filled with not wantin' tah be near each other, screaming to each other and hatin' each other with all their hearts, very interesting relationship indeed Rem" Rogue ranted sarcastically.

"Y'never know chere, y'always hurt the ones you love" Remy spoke in a challenging tone, causing Rogue to roll her eyes.

"Whatevah swamp rat, the day that'll evah happen will be the day you get into a solid relationship with someone and stop flirting tah othah girls" Rogue summed up, "Besides, let's just get tah class, I really don't want tah run late"

"Okay, whatever you say chere" Remy agreed giving her a lopsided cocky grin. Getting the stuff they needed, they hurried off and headed to class, splitting when they arrived at two doors, Rogue went into computer studies while Remy went into Chemistry.

*******

Jubilee, Bobby and Lance gulped when they arrived at the big door with 'Principal's office' labeled on it.

"We're dead" Jubilee announced, "Congratulations guys, we're so dead"

"C'mon Jubes, it ain't that bad" Bobby tried to say optimistically

"Hmm, what do you say to that Lance?" Jubilee asked in mock sweetness.

"I'm gonna be expelled" Lance groaned.

"Nice to hear your undying support Lance" Bobby joked sarcastically.

"We're all gonna get expelled" Lance corrected, "Together!"

At Lance's last comment they all began to laugh. Bobby and Jubilee secretly thought how much fun it was being with the brotherhood, back with the x-men everyone was so serious, except maybe for Kurt and Evan and maybe Kitty, but half the time they were all serious, it was just good to have a bit of fun every now and again. Life was at its best with the brotherhood.
