Rachel sat boredly in her room. She really didn't feel like eating lunch today. Sighing she mentally pulled a book from the shelf. A Clockwork Orange. Not a book many people liked, but still her favorite. She started reading the book, getting very far into it within 20 minutes. Soon she dozed off.

"Aw, Comon Rogue! You can't really like Eric Draven better than Spiderman! Spiderman is a good guy!" Bobby was complaining about Rogue's choices in men. "She likes them tough, don't ya Rouge?" John said, taking a big bite out of his roll, some of it hanging out. Rogue laughed. "Yeah I guess, but not gross!!" John swallowed the roll."Hmm...interesting..." "Hey guys, I'm kinda tired, I wanna go take a nap before 5th period." Bobby nodded at Rogue. "Yeah okay, we'll walk you to your room.""Rogue, do you know where Rachel is?" John asked, trying not to sound too interested. "I don't know, I don't have very many classes with her..." "Oh alright then."

"Hey Bobby, Rogue, John!!" Jubilee called out from the living room. "Hey Jubs!!" Rogue called out. "The Prof. gave us the rest of the day off!!! We are all gonna go see a movie!" Rogue smiled and nudged Bobby. "Lets go okay?" " Wait i thought you were tired?"Bobby asked."I'm not anymore, Lord of the Rings just came out and I wanna see it!""Okay, hey John, do you wanna come?" "Naw guys, that's alright. I'll just go hang around here for a while." "Alright, bye John!" Rogue called out, leaving.

John walked around upstairs, heading for him and Bobby's room. Clicking his lighter, he walked passed Rachel's room. Her door was cracked open, and he could see she was sleeping. John pursed his lips together, and with one last click of his light, slowly opened the door and went in. He walked over to her. "Hmm..." He looked at the book that was by her hand. A Clockwork Orange. His favorite. Rachel had her hair in a loose, messy braid. It looked beautiful on her. "God..." John shook his head. I can't let myself be weak, John said to himself. He gently pushed a straind of hair behind her ear. "God, I'm weak..." He whispered to himself as he left her room.
