A/N-Wow, I know it's been a like a couple months since I've last submitted
anything and I apologize. I was in my school's musical, which took up a
lot of my time, but I'm back. I hope my old readers haven't given up on
me, but whatever. Review and tell me if I've still got it. In the story
I've made a reference to a drug, it's just a joke, but if you're against
that kind of thing I have given you fair warning.
Another Morning
"Hey dude, what's going on?" Kitty jumped/sat on Rogue's bed, jostling her awake.
Rogue moaned. "Dude?" she inquired groggily.
"It's definitely like 12 and you're still sleeping. What did you do last night? Come on, Rogue!"
"What-? Are you on crack or something?"
"I had caffeine. Now get up! It's almost 1!"
"You just said it was 12!" Rogue rolled over to prevent further hassling. "I have a killer headache."
"Maybe you shouldn't have drank so much last night."
"Mm, maybe."
"What is it with you and drinking lately? You've been getting wasted like every weekend for the past month."
"I have not, and I don't have a 'thing with drinking.'" She said a little too harshly than she had intended. Her headache was putting her on edge. "Okay, okay, whatever. Just get up and we can get you some Advil and breakfast."
"Sounds great. I'll meet you down stairs."
Kitty raised her eyebrows.
"I will, I'm just going to shower first so I don't smell like alcohol."
"Alright, I'll see ya in a bit," she said, making sure to drag out all.
Rogue sighed as Kitty closed the door. The past month had been kind of crazy. Now that it was summer and she didn't have her classes to worry about, Rogue had sort of let go. She had wondered how long it would take for them to catch on.
Rogue entered the kitchen to find Bobby and John fighting over something.
"What are you two doing?" she asked as she opened the fridge.
"John won't let me have the Chinese food."
"I was here first!"
"Ew, Chinese food for breakfast?"
"Lunch, sweetheart, it's noon."
"Oh."
"Where were you last night," Bobby asked as he picked at the chicken.
"Yeah, we missed you. Kitty and Jubilee had this cake eating contest that was totally hot."
Rogue threw John a look. "I'm sorry I wasn't here to partake in that cake eating action." She pulled out some almost gone orange juice and took a swig.
"You should be. It was lonely with you gone. Actually it's been lonely for a while. Where were you?" John said, echoing Bobby.
"Out."
"Out where?"
"I was just out, alright? Nothing to worry about."
"We're just worried about you, kid."
Rogue jumped.
"Jesus, Logan, where did you come from?"
"I'm everywhere, doll face," he said, taking the rest of the orange juice from her.
"What do you mean you're worried about me?"
"Well, leaving every night and not coming home till 3. All that partying ain't good for ya."
"I wasn't-I. I was invited-to go out. And it wasn't a big party or anything," she said, faltering too much to pull off a believable lie. Not that it was that believable in the first place.
"Yeah." Logan nodded. "Smells like it."
Rogue opened her mouth to retort, but Bobby interrupted. "You wanna get something to eat? You looked starved."
"Uh, yeah, sure."
"Okay, Kitty was saying something like pizza, but I don't think that's good for your digestive system first thing in the morning."
"We can just go to that coffee shop café thing. You know, the one a couple miles off campus." John suggested.
Kitty flounced into the room, hand in hand with a giggling Jubilee. They both had large grins on their faces. Kitty bit her bottom lip to stop from smiling and looked at Bobby, then turned to Rogue. "Are you three ready? We just convinced Peter to come with us."
"Oh, so Jubilee's coming then?" Bobby eyed her with a grin.
Jubilee stopped trying to conceal her smile. "Well. Peter's waiting, come on!" she said, dragging Kitty out the door with her.
Logan made a growling noise and muttered something about girls as he left the room with the orange carton still in hand.
Rogue pursed her lips. She wasn't in the mood for Jubilee's giggling and furtive glances over at Peter, wondering if he'll finally notice her. Not this early in the morning anyway. No, afternoon, she corrected herself. With a small sigh she let herself be steered out of the room by John and into Bobby's car.
When they entered the small café, Rogue stretched her back. The ride there was rather cramped, Bobby's car only and held five people and there were six of them. Not to mention Peter took up most of the room in the back.
They found a large booth in the back and settled in. A waiter came by and got orders from everyone, Rogue just settled for coffee.
"You're not hungry?" John asked.
"No, I have a killer headache."
"Hangover?"
Rogue shrugged.
"You know you should really stop drinking so much, it's not good for you."
Rogue began to reply but was over run by Jubilee's shriek. "Oh my God, Kitty! I forgot to tell you something!"
"What?!" Kitty leaned forward, grin in place.
"Well, I can't tell you here, it's kind of a secret," she gave a hearty glance towards Peter, as if wanting him to ask her what it was.
"Well, I think I have to use the restroom," said Kitty, rising.
"Yeah, me too." The two girls set off together, heads together and giggling.
Rogue made a derisive noise.
Bobby looked over at her. "Well, you know how Kitty gets when she's around Jubilee," he said, almost apologetically. It seemed Rogue wasn't the only one that wasn't too pleased about Kitty's vapid behavior.
Rogue scolded herself mentally. It wasn't their fault, she thought, hell if I were in a better mood I'd probably be acting the same way. It's better than this. She added with a sigh. But then again, Rogue was never the one to traipse off to the bathroom in herds of ten, but there was a first time for everything....
A/N-okay, I know that's a terribly lame ending, but I just wanted to get something posted. I'll add more soon, I promise. And don't forget to review, I'd really love it if you'd give me some suggestions about what to do next, I'm kind of at a roadblock. So, you know, review!!
