K yea, this one's a little crappy too. If anyone's confused, Deidra and
Chameleon are one in the same. (but you shoulda figured that out by reading
the other author notes) ;) Anyway, it's another short chapter, forming some
new bits.

Rogue sat at her desk, half of her brain focused idly on the doodle she was making, the other half trying to figure out what Mr. Gerante was saying. Biology was so boring. The only people she knew in this class were Kitty and Lance, and they were busy flirting. Rogue rolled her eyes as she heard Kitty's high pitched giggle from across the room. This class was way too long to be healthy. Rogue was about to ask to go to the bathroom, just to get out of here for a few minutes, when there was a knock on the door. Mr. Gerante went over to answer it. He came back in with a girl. "Excuse me class, but we have a new student coming to us all the way from Virginia. There's extra seat back there, next to Rogue. You may sit there for now."
The other students looked at the girl with interest for a moment, then resumed their activities, finding nothing friendly about her. Rogue sat there, watching her, trying to figure her out. She wore a long black trench coat. Hidden underneath were jeans and a purple muscle tee. She had rusty red hair, and wore sunglasses. Rogue grinned at her as she sat down. She was going to like this new girl. "Ha, Ah'm Rogue." She said, extending a hand. The new girl looked a it uncertainly, almost afraid. "My name's Deidra." She said uncertainly, shaking the extended hand. Rogue grinned. She like Deidra's voice. Sort of raspy and quiet, but it seemed to have a controlled power to it. Deidra shifted uncomfortably in Rouge's gaze. "What are you drawing?" she asked, to get the attention of her. There lay a picture of a cartoon Rogue slamming a locker on cartoon Toad's tongue. Deidra looked at it and paled. "What tha matter? Ya know that creep or somin?" Rogue asked, eyes suspicious. "Oh, no I."
*What do I do?*
Fortunately Deidra was saved from explanation as the bell rang, signaling the end of the class, and of school. Rogue turned to her "Well, if ya need help figurin out this hell hole, Ah'm at the Institute down tha street. K?" Deidra nodded and left the room as fast as she could. She couldn't trust that girl, not after she saw her feelings about Toad. Or was it Toad she couldn't trust? No, that couldn't be, Toad didn't turn her in to them. She wouldn't question her trust in him.
*It doesn't matter now either. I can always leave if he turns on me. But if Rogue told someone at that Institute.*
Deidra shivered involuntarily. Suddenly she felt a wet slap on the back. With out turning around she guessed who it was. "Hello Toad." "Aww, how'd ya know it was me?" Toad whined, hopping next to her. Deidra smiled. "No one else would slap me on the back with their tongue." Toad turned beet red and decided to change the subject. "How's that class? Some annoying people in it I'm guessin." He said, lazily slurping up a fly. People were beginning to look at them strangely so Deidra began walking faster. "Nothing much." She said, deciding not to tell Toad about Rogue. "What about you? Did you decide to go to class?" she teased. Toad rolled his eyes. "Why the hell would I wanna do that yo?" People were definitely staring at her now. Deidra walked faster, Toad having a hard time keeping up. "What's tha hurry yo?" Deidra started to reply as they round the corner, but she ran right into someone and couldn't finished her sentence.
The impact knocked her sunglasses off and she fell to the floor, eyes closed, dazed. She heard Toad's voice. "Why doncha watch where your going ya one-eyed freak. Can't ya see I'm walkin here?" "Get lost Toad. Besides, the one in the trench coat walked into me." This voice wasn't Toad's, but it was another guy's. Deidra groped around, searching for her glasses. Something bumped next to her, the glasses. She put them on and found she was looking at a rather tall red-headed girl. The girl smiled at her. "Sorry about that." "It's OK." Deidra stammered. "My fault." The girl rolled her eyes. "The guys are still arguing over that." she said motioning to Toad, and another guy that she had never seen before. "Men," the girl snorted. Deidra didn't hear her. Fear began filling her. The one Toad was arguing with wore dark sunglasses, just like they had. So they had finally tracked her down to Bayville. Deidra started sweating, looking frantically for a way out. The other girl noticed this. "Are you OK?" she asked. Deidra didn't answer. She just grabbed Toad by the hair and ran out of the school, leaving two very confused people behind. "What was that all about Scott?" Jean asked. "I don't know, but Toad was awful protective about her. Oh well, come on. The professor said he wanted us home as soon as possible." "I know Scott. I got the mental message too." Jean yelled, running after him.
