CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE

All of a sudden, Storm came running up to them.

"Rogue...Rogue!" she called out as she began to approach.

"Rogue, why did you guys leave me sleeping in class?"

"Ah tried to wake ya up, but ya wouldn't budge a bit. Ya seemed lahke ya haven't had much sleep 'cause ya were pretty knocked out sugah." Just before Storm could make a comment of her own, Jean had to show up and gave Rogue a nasty look in the process, just before she introduced herself to Remy.

"Hi, my name is Jean." Remy looked her over, and Jean couldn't help but smile and blush ever so slightly.

"Bonjour. Mon nom be Remy. How you be doin' petite." Jean continued to completely ignore Rogue and Storm's presence.

"I'm just fine, but I would be much better if you walked me to my class...you know, just to make sure nothing happens to me because you never know when something bad could happen to someone down these halls. Then she gave turned ever so slightly to glare at Rogue. Remy looked at her curiously, donning a smile just as Jean turned her eyes back upon the cajun.

"Sure thing petite." he then turned to Rogue taking her hand and kissing it before she had a chance to pull away.

"Remy be seein' you later chere." In a slight daze at the sight that was just before her, Rogue just nodded and began to slowly walk down the hall with Storm, in the opposite direction. Although, she couldn't help herself from turning back and taking a quick peek at Remy. Almost as if he knew what she was doing, he turned his head to see her quickly head into class.

Just as the bell rang, Remy slipped quickly into the room, sliding into the seat next to Rogue. She was so caught up in her search for the pen she just had, that she did not hear him do so, not that she would have. She nearly jumped at the feel of his breathe tickling her ear.

"Chere, Remy think dat he sit wit you..." she turned to him as he paused, "since he don't really know anybody." he finished almost awkwardly.

"sure, but ya got'ta keep referin' ta yaself lahke that?"

"Like what?"

"Third person."

"But Remy knows dat you like it." Rogue started to laugh.

"Not in this lahfetime sug. But ya sure know how ta make a gal laugh." Rogue then finally found her pen and made herself look as if she was paying attention in class. However, her mind kept wondering back to how weird it was that Remy was the guy in her dreams. It freaked her out a little bit, to say the least. She kept taking quick glances at him, and he would just softly smile at her. It made her want to kiss him just like she was about to in her dream, and that made her all the more weirded out. She didn't know what to feel, if anything...she had just met him. But she couldn't help getting angry over the fact that he not only talked to Jean, but was so nice to her when she so blatantly went out of her way to be so mean to Rogue.

Finally, pulling Rogue out of her many thoughts, the period ended, just in time for lunch. On the way out of the door, Jean, once again showed up out of nowhere. Rogue didn't even bother to wait for Remy, and quickly made her way out.

"You're so cute Remy. You know that? I could be the best thing in your life right now?" Jean said with rosy cheeks. Remy just nodded as looked past Jean.

"Yeah, well, Remy be lookin' for a petite." Remy had thought Jean was pretty, but he never thought she would be this easy. He took a quick glance at Rogue as she was standing by Storm talking. She is beautiful, but not normally his type. She wasn't the type of girl that threw herself at him, much like the others. He was afraid that even if he did get involved with her, that he wouldn't be able to pull him out of that kind of relationship, that he wouldn't want to. She was girlfriend material. His charm worked for him in so many ways. His longest lasting relationship was no more than a week.

Rogue and Storm went to sit at their usual table.

"What are you going to get Rogue?"

"Ah think that Ah'm gonna go get some fries." The two girls put their things down and headed over to the line. As she was looking around, she spotted Remy sitting with Jean.

"Look Storm," she quickly pointed out the two, "she works pretty fast. She wouldn't even bother with Remy, if she wasn't tryin' ta get back at Scott for that ordeal with Emma."

"I know." Storm sighed. The two girls paid for their food and headed back to their seats. But just as they sat down, Scott came and joined them.

"Hey Rogue. What's up?"

"Hey sug." she told him plainly.

"You look really nice today." he told her as he turned to her, and once again, Storm was ignored. Rogue held back a chuckle.

"Thank ya sir, Ah do try."

"Well, maybe you and me could hang out sometime." he then, suddenly, yawned and put his arm around Rogue. She couldn't help but laugh at his lame old trick.

Remy tore his eyes away from Jean, once again, just in time to see this happen. He couldn't help but wonder why she wasn't throwing his arm off of her. Earlier, he saw him picking on some kid named Todd or something, and couldn't help but think that maybe he had this huge stick shoved up his butt. Would explain the way that he walked. Not to mention that he looked like he shopped at gays 'r us. Wait a second, was Remy feeling jealous. No way, he just didn't like Scott. Yeah, that could be it, but he also knew that he likes Rogue. So, what is Remy to do?
