I still don't own any of these characters
A/N: I just wanted to thank everyone for the reviews
"Allright class I want you to review chapter twelve as it will be on the mid-term, as will chapter thirteen, so if you would like to read ahead, you may. I also would like you to write a five hundred word essay on how science impacts your everyday life. I want this double spaced with a cover page and it will be due on Tuesday, any questions?" Ororo Munroe looked out at her class, "No? Then have a good weekend,"
Earth science was Anna's last class and she was so glad it was Friday. She gathered her things and raced upstairs to her room. She was going to the mall with Jubilee for a spending spree. Anna walked to her closet and pulled out a pair of blue jean capris and a white blouse. After changing she examined herself in the mirror, she was pleased with her appearance. I look normal, Anna thought. She just wanted to look like any other teenage girl going to the mall.
"Anna!" a familiar voiced called and started banging on her window, breaking her train of thought. Remy was standing on her balcony smiling and waving. They had started to talk and had been spending a lot of time together since their truce. Remy had turned out to be a pretty descent guy, as far as being friends went. Anna still heard a lot of stories about him though, and she had a hard time trusting him because of that. But there was something about him that she couldn't resist. As much as she wanted to dislike him she couldn't help but feel attracted to him.
"What's up Cajun?" Anna opened the window for him.
"Bonjour chere. I was going to catch a movie and thought you might want to come,"
"I'd love to Remy but I promised jubilee I'd go with her to the mall, beside I really need to get some stuff for my room. Maybe you can come by when we get back and help me put my stuff together, and maybe we can catch that movie tomorrow,"
"Sure, that sounds good,"
"You can come if you want,"
"Maybe some other time, I'll see you when you get back,"
"O-kay. Well how do I look?"
"Good enough to eat," Remy snapped his teeth. Anna giggled.
"Great, well I should get going," Anna picked up her purse and started to walk out.
"Are you just going to stare at me?"
"Ah, chere I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave," Anna rolled her eyes.
"You just don't give up do you?"
"If I give up how am I gonna get what I want?"
"Well it's a good thing I know you don't really want me, because I'd hate to disappoint you," Anna turned and left before Remy could reply. That girl was driving him crazy. He had tried to give her what she wanted, by being just friends, but the closer he got to her the harder that got. He wanted to be more than friends, but she thought he was just kidding around.
Remy walked downstairs and went outside looking for Bobby. He saw him hiding behind a bush, watching Scott Summers walk to his car. Bobby was snickering as Scott opened the car door and found the filling the entire car was a block of ice. Scott's face turned bright red.
"Bobby Drake when I catch you you're going to have kitchen duty for a month," Scott shouted as he stalked back into the mansion.
"Hey Bobby," Remy whispered. Bobby jumped.
"Stop doing that. You almost gave me a heart attack. What's up?"
"You want to go to the mall?"
"The mall? I hate the mall. What do you want to go to the mall for?"
"I just thought it would be good to got out for a while,"
"Wait a minute, I remember Jubilee said her and Anna were going to the mall today, is that what this is all about? This thing you've got for Anna? Well I don't want to go if your just going to be spying on her the whole time,"
"Just come with me. Besides you should be anywhere but here 'cus when Scott finds you..." almost as if on cue Scott came outside with Jean following close behind.
"Wait until you see what he did to my car. I can't believe he had the gall to do this,"
"Good point, let's go," Bobby whispered as they snuck off.
"O-kay, I made a list of everything I'm going to need for my room, so we don't forget anything," Anna informed Jubilee once they arrived at the mall.
"What's on your list?"
"Let's see, I need a some pillows, sheets, blankets, a chair, some better curtains, and a lamp. That should do it,"
"Sounds good. So I saw Remy heading for your room earlier, is there anything going on with you two?""Me and Remy?! No we're just friends,"
"Right. I saw you staring at him in physics and you're trying to tell me you don't want him?"
"No. I mean Remy is attractive, but I can't get involved with him. This is all just a game to him. He doesn't really want me he just wants to see if he can get me,"
"If you say so,"
"I do, now let's get busy we got a lot of stuff to buy,"
"There's not that much stuff, we shouldn't be here to long,"
"Remy they've been shopping for five hours can we go now?"
"Yeah let's go," Remy didn't know why he had even come. He had just wanted to see if she was really going to the mall with Jubilee or if she was just blowing him off.
"Hey, Remy, who's that?"
"Who's what?"
"That guy talking to Anna,"
Remy watched the guy laugh and flirt with her and she laughed and flirted in return. He felt anger build up within him. All this time and he had gotten nowhere with her, this comes along and she's all over him. He couldn't believe it. When Jubilee came out of the store they all talked for a minute and then they all left together. Remy wished he had taken Anna up on her offer of going with them.
"So what now man?"
"I don't need her I'll just go find me another girl," Remy started walking off towards some stores.
"Then can we go?"
"Oh my goodness, I can't believe how hot he was," Anna told Jubilee, that night in her room.
"I know girl, he looked good enough to eat,"
"Yeah, he wants to go to the movies tomorrow, I can't wait,"
"Are you going to tell Remy about him?"
"Probably, why do you ask?"
"Because you guys have this thing,"
"We don't have a thing,"
"Sure. That's why he's always flirting with you and you're always staring at him when you think no one's looking, huh?"
"I don't stare at him, and he's not serious when he flirts with me. He's just playing around,"
"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that Anna. So what're you going to wear on your date? Something sexy?"
"Not to sexy. I don't want to look desperate,"
"I'm going to go put my things away, I'll see you later,"
"Yeah, see ya,"
Anna walked out onto her balcony and looked out over the school grounds. She thought about what Jubilee had said Remy. Anna admitted that she had feelings for Remy, but nothing could ever come of that. Remy didn't seem like boyfriend material. Still she wished she didn't have these feelings for him, and she hoped dating another guy would help. As Anna looked out at the driveway she saw a car pull up and a girl and a guy stepped out. Anna looked closer and saw that guy was Remy. She watched him talk to the girl, and then he kissed her. It was along and passionate kiss, and Anna had to look away. She felt like someone had slapped her. She knew she wasn't justified in feeling this way, Remy wasn't hers, he could do whatever he wanted. Anna looked back and they were gone. She sighed and walked back into her room. She started pulling her purchases out of their bags and throwing them on her bed. A knock on her door interrupted her.
"Anna, can I come in?" a familiar voice called.
"Uh, sure come on in Remy," Remy walked in and leaned against her dresser. Anna walked over to her closet and pulled out two outfits.
"Which outfit do you like better for tomorrow? The black pants with the white blouse, or the black skirt with the black tank top?" Remy took the outfits from her, holding each up against her.
"Try this one on," he said holding up the skirt. Anna went into the bathroom to try the outfit on.
"So how do I look?" she asked when she had emerged from the bathroom. Remy picked up a necklace from her dresser.
"You look good but you need something," Remy stepped behind her and put the necklace on. He let his hands rest on her shoulders and moved his face close to her ear.
"I think i like this one," he whispered. The feel of his hot breath on her neck and his strong hands on her arms gave her goose bumps and made her knees weak. Anna closed her eyes and leaned into him.
"That's good I want to look good for my date,"
""Date?!" Remy gasped letting go of her. "I thought you were talking about what you were going to wear when we go to the movies tomorrow," Anna's eyes got wide and her hand flew to her mouth.
"Oh my God Remy, I'm so sorry I completely forgot about that. I can cancel if you want me to I did make plans with you first, I'm so sorry, i can't believe I forgot about you Remy, I..."
"It's o-kay, Anna, don't worry about it, it's not like I can't find someone else to spend the day with me. There's lot's of girls who would never forget about me," Anna couldn't belive what he was saying.
"Yeah, so I've seen,"
"What are you talking about?"
"I saw you with that girl out front,"
"And? Are you jealous or something?"
"No. Like I'd be jealous over you,"
"Then why do you care?"
"I don't why do you care?"
"Why do I care? Why do I care?!! Anna Are you that oblivious to how I feel about you?"
"What are you talking about Remy?"
"I'm talking about this," Remy grabbed Anna and kissed her. Anna's head swam as she tried to think. His kiss felt so good she couldn't string two coherant thoughts together, let alone stop him, but then he stopped. His red eyes looked into hers with a passion that scared her. Scared her enough to clear her foggy brain. Then she slapped him.
"What was that for?"
"How dare you!" Anna shouted. "Who the hell do you think you are kissing me like that after I saw you kissing some other girl not more than five minutes ago. I don't know how you think you feel about me, but it seems to me that it's nothing than lust and I don't want to be someone you have some fun with and then toss to the side. I thought we were friends Remy," tears burned Anna's eyes, but she didn't want him to see them.
"We are friends Anna. I'm sorry that you feel that way, but what I feel for you is more than just lust, and if you can't see that, then I don't know how to make you see how I feel, but I know I can't just stand by and watch you date other guys,"
"What are you saying Remy,"
"I'm saying maybe being friends with you wasn't such a good idea, because I want to be more than just friends and you obviously don't. Look I've got to go Anna, maybe we should give each other some space for awhile," Remy practically ran from her room before she had a chance to respond. Anna had a bad feeling that she had just made a huge mistake.
