Chapter 7: Popcorn with a dash of eternal wisdom
Later that evening"MOVIIIIIEE NIGHT" Shouted the mad Aussie.
Some of the students had gathered in the Rec room and since the younger teens (i.e. Jamie) had already gone to bed they could finally watch the movies that would be too scary or too rude for the pre-teens.
Rogue hadn't wanted to join in at first but after seeing Kitty and Kurt cuddled up on the couch she decided she would stick around so she could figure out if Kitty had told him, or if Kurt was still oblivious to her feelings.
So she curled up on the couch so she could here what they were saying. Bobby was sitting in a chair far away from Rogue, he had been avoiding her all day, which was pretty obvious because they normally sat together at dinner but he had chosen to sit by Pyro (who has the worst table manners, excluding Toad of course).
Rogue was listening to the couple babbling about gossip and she swore that they were about to exchange those meaningful words when that Ragin Cajun interrupted her thoughts by sitting down and putting his arm around her.
"Not trying t' eavesdrop now, are we Cherie" He whispered in her ear.
She pushed him away and just glanced up to see Bobby glaring at Remy.
'Aww Bobby don't get jealous' She thought looking over at his reddening face.
Remy must have noticed this too as he attempted to snuggle closer to her. That was it, Bobby couldn't stand to see the couple together so he stood up and stormed out of the
room. Rogue was about to get up and go after him when...
"Howzit going mates"
St. John somehow managed to squeeze in between the two and put his arms round their shoulders.
"Couldn't be better" Muttered Remy wishing that the pyromaniac would sit somewhere else. But to his disappointment he stayed between the pair through the whole of "American Pie: The Wedding" laughing loudly which made popcorn spurt everywhere. After the movie he stood up and declared that he was hungry, since most of the popcorn never made it to his gut.
"Finally" Rogue said relaxing back in her seat.
"Didn know y' were a keen as Remy" He said replacing his arm over her shoulder again.
"Nice try, swamprat" Rogue said standing up and moving to sit in Bobby's empty chair.
Remy pouted at her from across the room but she just shook her head and turned her attention back to 'Gothica'.
The Aussie soon returned with an armful of Chinese food. Everyone gawked at him.
"What! They're open 24/7 now".
After devouring his 'snack' he began handing out fortune cookies. The teens opened them and one by one read out their predictions.
"The truth will, like, set you free" Kitty glanced over at Rogue.
"Never trust ze first impression to a new idea" Kurt wrinkled up his nose trying to figure out the meaning.
"Mahne says 'don't just trust what ya know, trust what ya feel" She tried to force a laugh
to cover how embarrassed she was now that Gambit was staring at her.
There was silence until Remy suddenly realized that they were staring expectantly at him.
"O right 'never eat yellow snow'" They kept staring "OK fine Remy's says dat he should 'try ta consider life through another's eyes', what bout y' Johnny"
"Hey John ate my cookie" Evan yelled "My fortune was still in that!"
St. John ignored him "OK mates, moine says ' a close friend will be in need of moi eternal wisdom".
The room exploded into fits of laughter.
"Eternal wisdom! Man they got yours screwed up" Evan managed to get out between bursts of laughter.
"What! Ohm great at advice, like…um whats black and white and red all over?"
The laughter got louder, so St. John gave up and went back to flicking his lighter.
"Alright bubs go to bed" Logan (who had been disturbed by the laughter) said from the doorway "your own beds" He added thoughtfully glancing at Kitty and Kurt who both blushed.
They all made their way back to their rooms. They had all already forgotten about their predictions, except for Kitty.
TeeHee thanks for reading my 7th chap and please review.
It was really hard writing those fortunes (I don't know how they do it!).
Bye for now.
