Another Monday, another school day, another day to pretend that she didn't care. For the past two years she had isolated herself from everybody and everything. This was getting really old really fast. What if Allana was actually able to help? She wouldn't have to hide, wouldn't have to pretend anymore. No, she would not get her hopes up, she would not. It was getting harder and harder not to think about it. What would Scott say? Or Pietro? She just hoped that the Professor wasn't listening into her mind right now; it was a hustle and bustle of activity. Think about it after you get to school, her mind demanded. That reminded her, she still needed to talk to Risty. It was breakfast, and Allana was nowhere to be found.
"Are you alright?" Mr. McCoy asked.
"Yes." Rogue lied. She was doing that a lot lately. "Does anybody know where Allana is?"
"No, but where ever she is, she went on foot." Logan answered.
"Professor, I don't find it fair that Allana is allowed to go off whenever she wants." Jean practically whined.
Stuff it, Rogue thought to herself.
"That's a very valid point, Jean, but I believe we should wait to see exactly what she is up to." The Professor settled the complaint with grace without really solving anything as usual. Hurry up, she thought to herself.
"Well, I'm not too worried about her. The Little Twister can handle herself I say." Logan muttered.
"Ah'm done." She blurted. She really wanted to go see if Risty was going to be there today.
Scott looked at her and nodded. "I'm done too. Anybody else done, cause I'm going." Everyone who didn't own a car or skateboard hurried up to finish with breakfast. The car ride was noisy as always but lacked the familiar teasing of Allana. Ah, her locker. But nobody was around, not Pietro, not Allana, and definitely not Risty. Where were they? Just then Risty came up.
"Hey, Rogue, how was you're weekend?"
"Ah lived didn't Ah?" Just barely, she added to herself.
"So what's been going on since I've been gone?"
"Well, Scott noticed me."
"No way."
"Yes way, and Pietro and I went on a date on Friday."
"Maximoff? As in Ego-maniac speed demon?"
"Yeah, and they're like fighting for me... Ah think."
"What do you mean you think?"
"Ah don't know."
"This is HUGE. Two guys battling it out to the death for you."
Rogue laughed, "Yeah."
"Uh oh."
"What?"
"There's one of the lover boys now, with that girl Allana. And they're not having a very loving conversation."
Rogue turned to where Risty was pointing to see that Scott and Allana were indeed fighting. Not unusual, but still, what was going on? She started to walk over there, but Risty held her back.
"No, we can hear over here."
Down the hall...
"Where were you last night?"
"Oh, I didn't know you cared, Boy Scout."
"I don't, not about someone who has so little respect for authority."
"Are you talking about respect for the Professor or respect for you?"
"Can't you work with the system, Allana? People are worried about you."
"People like who, Scott? You? I doubt it, you're just worried that I can't help you with Rogue if I'm gone all the time."
"That's not true."
"Oh, it so is, you wouldn't give a rats ass if I just fell off the face of the earth as long as you had Rogue."
"You are so impossible to get along with."
"I know." With that Allana started to walk off. She stopped and turned to face him again. "Oh, by the way, Scott, you suck as an actor, better stick with what you know, Captain America." Then Allana was gone.
With Rogue and Risty.
"Wow," Risty whispered, "Do they usually fight like that?"
Rogue nodded. She wished they didn't, but it was Scott and Allana, they fought about everything.
