"Alright everybody out of the car," Scott says before he even turns off the ignition. Jean groans, Rogue smacks her lips, and Kurt grunts. Me? I just roll my eyes for the 100th time today.

"Yea, Yea," Scott says dismissing us. "Out of the car…now!" The group of us piles out of the car. That is when I notice Kurt's oversized shirt, which reads:

"It's not funny until somebody gets hurt…then it's hilarious!"

          I smiled, it's cute real cute.

"Hey Kurt!"

He turns around, "Yea Katchzen?"

"I like your shirt."

He smiles his 1000-watt smile. "Thanks, Amanda bought it for me." "That figures," I think to myself. Amanda is Kurt's girlfriend and the bizarre thing is she's not a mutant. And she actually likes Kurt's normal appearance. Which I find kinda creepy? I mean it took me quite a while to get over seeing him without an image inducer. It took her all about five seconds. Being the nosey person I am, I had to ask why? I stopped her after school one day and asked her. She was oh too eager to tell me.

"Amanda?"

She turned around. "Yea Kitty?"

"Could I talk to you for a minute?"

She smiled, "Sure, but make it quick I've got cheerleading practice in about 10 minutes"

"I have a question about you and Kurt.

She nodded, "Uh huh?"

"Amanda I was uh, sorta wondering----"

"Yea? You were sort of wondering what?"

"Um…" I kept choking up, the words just would not come out. I didn't wanna sound rude or something.

She smiled reassuringly, "Kitty if you have something you wanna know, just ask. I mean it can't be that bad. And I don't bite. So ask me already."

"O.K-I was wondering why you um like Kurt's appearance so much. I mean most girls would run screaming Bloody Mary around him. And you didn't bat an eyelash. Just between you and me do you really think Kurt's hot?"

Amanda laughed before setting down her bag. "Honest to God, I do think Kurt's hot—"

I stared as though she had just sprouted four heads.

"Much better looking than most of the guys here at school. He has this innocent slash devilish look goin on. Plus he's an acrobat which is sexy in itself---"

My eyes must have widened even more because she started to laugh hard.

"Girl you should see your face. Is it really so hard to believe that I find Kurt handsome?"

I smiled sheepishly, "Well he is kinda…"

"Blue," she finished for me.

"Well yea, and he has fur and fangs, not to mention the yellow eyes…it's not normal."

Sobering she looked me straight in the eye, "Are any of us?"

I had to admit she had a good point.

She leaned closer, her voice a whisper. "But I'll let you in on a little secret. Promise not to tell?"

I nodded and leaned closer.

"The main reason I find Kurt hot is," she looked around before continuing. "I've always been into sci-fi. Call it sort of an obsession. I'm talking star trek, final fantasy, werewolves, the works---"

Dumbfounded I nodded, "Uh huh."

"Well a fav sci-fi of mine was the movie Interview with a Vampire. Have you seen it?"

Of course I had, every teen girl in the history of creation who ever loved Brad Pitt had (Tom Cruise wasn't that bad either).

"Yea, I've seen it."

She shifted, "Well ever since then I've been in love with vampires or rather the notion of vampires. So when Kurt came along with the whole fang, I-blend-in-with–the-night-thing, teleporting thing. I was kinda happy." Her voice dropped an inch lower. "It's kind of a turn on."

Wow, who'd have thought Amanda was a freak. That just goes to show that you never really know a person. But I guess her answer did make sense.

"That all?"

"Yep, thanks and I won't tell a soul. Your secret's safe with me. Have you told Kurt?"

She laughed, "No way, being the religious catholic he is he'd probably think I was some kind of heathen freak."

I doubted that, Kurt couldn't think badly of Amanda if he tried.

"You should probably tell him, he might like it. It might be a turn on that you think it's a turn on that he looks like Dracula. Who knows with Kurt?"

She blushed. "Not yet…maybe one day just not today. And I don't think he looks like Dracula…he's more of a Lestat than Dracula."

I laughed, "K. Bye."

Flushed she pick up her bag, "Bye."

 I kinda envy them, ya know? They have a really great relationship (except for the fact that Amanda's parents forbade them to be together). They go out and everything. They're always giving each other gifts and smooching. Sometimes (most of the time) I wish Lance and I could be like that.

I could be like Amanda: loving, loyal, and have some sort of weird sexual fantasy about Lance. Then, Lance could be like Kurt: funny, not a player, and interested in what I have to say, instead of being interested in what's under my skirt.

Humph, I may as well let that dream go. Lance will never be anything like Kurt and I will never be anything like Amanda. Speaking of Lance I start walking to the front entrance and I spot him. His appearance hits me with good and bad news. The good news is that Lance did come to school today.
