Chapter 1 – Lonely Rose
He didn't want anything to do with her. He was making fun of her. Probably laughing right now. A stupid flirt. Asked all girls for their numbers. She hated herself for thinking he liked her. Stupid, mean, demon-eyed kid. He mocked her for being a mutant. No. He had to be a mutant, too. No. He was wearing contacts. He must have. Rogue threw her books in her locker. Stupid guy. Why was she even thinking about him? She stormed to the cafeteria. She bought her lunch. She sat down. The Flirt smiled at her and sat down across from her. Icy glare.
"Go 'way." She said. He stood and bowed. It seemed to be mocking. The Flirt moved to another table. Her friends slowly came to the table. In pairs or by themselves. They chatted. Rogue stayed quite. She couldn't take her eyes off of the Flirt. He was nice to look at. He met her gaze. He winked. She blushed, red dimmed by makeup. Her friends asked her what she was looking at. She said she was being spacey. The bell rang. Kids pushed and shoved to get out and go to their next class. She lingered behind to avoid contact. The Flirt walked past her. A charming smile. Rogue walked out, the last kid to leave.
The last class of the day. Biology. The Flirt sauntered in. He was bored. He saw her. The charming smile again. He sat next to her, talking to her. She never answered. He never seemed to mind. Finally he gave up. The last bell rang. Freedom! She darted out. She threw her books in her locker. She pulled on a light jacket. She yanked out her backpack.
"Cheri," the French word for 'dear'. Rogue turned to face him. "M' name's Remy." He offered his hand. Slowly, she took it. He lifted her hand. And kissed it. She jerked back. Rouge stormed away. Remy leaned against the wall. The girl was like a rose. Beautiful, but when you touched her you got hurt.
