Kitty looked into the distance. Why didn't Lance want to come out and face her? Was he afraid or something? Nah, afraid? That'll be the first.

She couldn't help but turn back, her eyes drooping. She was clueless on what she ought to do, and hoped somebody she knew would come out and help her.

"Kitty!" Kurt caught sign of Kitty, despite all the pupils walking about. "Oh, hi, Kurt. Listen, I don't feel so good. I think…I'll just forget the lecture. Just grab me some notes ok?"

"Woah, you can't get out of the whole day." Kurt understood how sad Kitty must have felt. After all, he and Amanda had a good relationship, and they were scared they might lose each other, but Kitty? She's had her heart broken already and now that she's found him, he didn't want to come out and meet her.

"All right, you go and rest. I'll tell Rogue."

Kitty waved Kurt off in gratitude and walked off, "Thanks, Kurt, you're a great pal."

"Hey, vhat are teammates for?" Kurt said. Then, he looked around. Lance, that dummy wouldn't have got very far. As far as he could tell, he's a teleporter. And he was smart. He'll find him.

Kurt searched around and the closest hiding place he found was the boy's room. Must ve vit! Kurt got in, and spotted no one else in the toilet but one closed cubicle.

"Lance? Avalanche?" Kurt pounded on the door.

The door was threw open by a very light tremor and Lance came out, having a really mad look on his face. "What do you want, Blue-boy?"

Kurt said, "It's about Kitty. Why don't you go find her in her room? I'll give you her number and-."

"I don't need sympathies from anyone and especially you! And me and Kitty's business is dead none of yours, got that?" Lance shouted at Kurt.

"So, you're just vurning your back on kitty? After she's been trying so many ways to find you for four years and now, you're doing this to her again?" Kurt yelled.

It wasn't often he yelled at anybody and the last time he did was because his image inducer refused to work and now, he was doing it out of concern for a good friend. Lance looked kinda' guilty but he wasn't about to admit it, "Look, Blue-boy, say what you want. I'm outta here, good riddance."

"Vell, I hope you live with your conscience." Kurt passed one last angry look at Lance before porting away.

Lance stared at the puff of smoke fade and got out of the boy's room. He got back to his own dorm and wondered whether he had done the right thing.

Hey, Blue-boy wasn't completely wrong. I did turn my back on Kitty. I didn't care how she felt and I left without a single word. Even that goody professor couldn't track me with his fancy Cerebro.

Lance did love Kitty. After all, she was the only person on Earth that really cared for him. And he was now abandoning her.

Again.

Did he really have to do this?


Kitty faced the empty room. It was in quite a mess still, since they just got here.

Kitty cupped her face in her hand and cried. To heck with Lance Alvers. To think I cared so much for that guy and he was doing this to me again like he did for four years. What was happening to her god-forsaken life anyway?

Kitty played with her dragon plushie, Lockheed. "Lockheed, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

She loved him more than anything, but she really didn't want to make him feel like he was trapped or under attack or something. She just wanted to have a good relationship with the guy she liked.

"Is that really so hard to ask for?"

Kitty decided that once she saw Lance next, she was going to ask him for a proper chat. About their life.

"Wait a second…"Kitty pulled the piece of Lance's timetable out from her pocket. "How idiotic can I get?" Kitty unfolded it.

Kitty looked at his lessons. So, he was planning on doing the Arts stream, just like she and Rogue too. Too bad Kurt had planned on taking the Science Stream, since he was good at that kind of thing.

Kitty smiled. The first lesson he had tomorrow was Music again. And she was having a free period then. No harm in standing outside and peep in, considering that there was a glass window at the door for her to.

And maybe, she would be lucky enough to grab a chat with him.


"Ya' sure bout' it?" Rogue passed her a "look".

"Hey, how hard could it be? I just want to, like, talk you know," Kitty hugged her books tight.

"Well, sure. But when he comes…"

"I wouldn't let him see me yet. I'll hide for a while and when the lesson starts, I'll just watch. How tough can it all be?"

Kurt hoped Kitty knew what she was doing, "But he's still a Brotherhood, remember?"

"Of course I do, I don't have short term memory, ok?" Kitty said.

"Well, see ya'. Ah got to head for the lecture theatre now." Rogue mumbled.

"Yeah, and I'm getting' late for Biology too. Lunch?" Kurt asked.

Kitty nodded and watched her friends leave. "All the better."

Kitty waited for a while before seeing some other students go into the music room and when she caught a glimpse of Lance, she phased through a locker when no one was paying any attention to her.

After when she felt one hundred percent sure that Lance had got in to be the assistant for the male teacher, Kitty then phased out again, facing the very empty hall.

Kitty peeped in. She never knew Lance could even do well in school. Maybe, he's just discovered his true potential. After all, Kitty knew her talent was in with the arts. Dancing!

Kitty looked at Lance help with the music teacher and the clueless students with the guitar. Even though the students were only one year younger than Lance, they still respected him a lot.

From what Kitty could tell, she knew Lance was much happier here than he was in Bayville High. Back then, pupils picked on him, and they never respected him. Here, Lance had made a brand new start, starting by showing she, Kurt and Rogue he was better than a nobody after all.

Kitty hid at the side, watching the students the same age as she was stream out in a single file. And then, she waited for Lance and the music teacher to come out.

"Alvers, I want you to help me every day, understood?" Kitty saw the male teacher come out.

"Definitely, Mr Baxter. I will I promise." Lance said.

Lance caught sign of Kitty and he was indeed shocked, but he didn't stop.

"Lance? Can I talk to you for a moment, please? It's…uh…about Music. Yeah, music." Kitty grinned, showing off her pearly white teeth.

"My, Alvers. Go ahead, since a student asked for your help. But for now, I need to go to the teacher's lounge for a cup of coffee." Mr Baxter said.

Lance rubbed the back of his neck, "Sure, Mr Baxter. Go ahead."

Lance turned to face Kitty and mumbled, "Kitty, you're lying. You don't need help, do you?"

Kitty smiled, "You still know me the best, Lance. I was…you know…wondering if…if you'll like a drink…with me, sometime."

"I'm busy, Kitty. And I'm sure you are too. I don't have time."

"Then, how about lunch with me?" Kitty pleaded. "Lance, I just wanna' talk. Is that so difficult, huh?"

Lance raised an eyebrow at her. Hopefully, she wasn't gonna' ask anything too…too into him, like "Do you still love me, Lance?"

"Fine. This afternoon. But don't blame me if you don't show up, Kitty." Lance had a soft spot for Kitty in him.

Kitty smiled, "I'm sure I will show up."

Lance turned around to walk away, and smiled. He loved that mega watt smile of hers. It just seems to brighten every thing up.

And how could he not keep his word, especially to Kitty?
