It was before second period and he was at his locker. He was angry, no he was more than angry, he was livid. Allana was definitely good at pissing him off, always finding some new way to get under his skin. All he had done was worry about her and of course she couldn't accept it. But, he had to wonder, was she right? Was there any truth behind her accusations? Was the only reason he care was because of Rogue? No, that wasn't true. Sure, he appreciated what she was doing for him, and okay, he got upset with her because she liked to start fights, but he did care.

"Hey Boy Scout."

Speak or the devil, Scott thought and turned to face Allana.

"What do you want now?"

"Oh, so mean. Can't I say 'hi'?" She replied sweetly.

"What are you up to?" Scott had every right to be cautious, Allana was usually up to something.

"Do I have to be up to something? That's not fair, can't we get along?"

"Since when did you want to get along?"

"You know what your problem is, Scott, you can't enjoy things. Here I am trying to be nice and all you can do is question in."

"Are you sick or something? Don't you have a class to get to?" Something was way the matter with Allana and he didn't want to be around to figure it out.

"Humph, I see how it's going to be." Allana started to walk away.

"Allana, wait." Scott held onto her arm, "Truce?"

Allana nodded, "For now." The bell rang for class, not good. Something is wrong, go! But he wasn't in the mood to listen to the logical part of his mind. "Since we're late, how about we take to the rest of the day off." Allana was saying.

"Last time you and I took off we got into A LOT of trouble and as fun as it was, I'm not cleaning the jet "

A flash of confusion in Allana's eyes set off alarms in Scott's head that he ignored. "So this time we don't get caught."

"And where would we go?"

"Some where we could be alone, The Bat Cave, the beach, my bedroom."

"Alright, I'm going to ask you again, are you sick?" He felt her forehead. That's when he noticed Rogue down the hall over Allana's shoulder. Allana lifted his hand away and pulled him closer, grabbed his face and kissed him. It took Scott a few seconds to realize what he was doing, he pushed Allana away just in time to see Rogue sprinting around a corner. "Rogue, wait!" And he took off after her leaving a very pleased looking purple haired girl by his locker.

Scott chased after Rogue still not fully comprehending the fact that Allana kissed him, then she ducked into a classroom. He considered going after her, but the assistant principal was heading in his direction. So he started back toward his class. He was angry, but more than that, he was confused. What was going on?
