Chapter Two
Rogue woke up to a sunny morning.' Where am I?' Rogue thought, then remembered the day before. She got out of bed and looked around the room. She noticed how small it was, with no pictures in it. The only thing in it was the bed. Rogue got on some of her clothes and left the room. Everyone else was already up.
"Good morning,'' Angie said,'' Have some breakfast.''
Rogue sat down and Angie gave her a plate with some eggs and baccon on it. Rogue ate her food slowly.
"What happened to Remy? Ben asked,'' He said he would be over for breakfast.''
"He called and said he'll meet you at school,'' Angie said, then looked over at Rogue.'' I never asked, how old are you?"
"I'm seventeen,'' Rogue said.
"Why did you come here, to our town?" Angie asked.
"To get a break from my friends and the school, they were driving me crazy.''
"It's almost 8:00,'' Greg said,'' We must get going.''
"I have to be at the bar in five minutes,'' Angie said,'' I don't have time to drive you to school. Rogue, can you please drive them to school? Ben was suposed to have his license, but got in too many accidents.''
"It won't be a problem,'' Rogue said and Angie handed her the keys to the car.
"After you drop them off,'' Angie said,'' Drive back to the house and walk to the bar.''
"Okay,'' Rogue said,'' No problem.''
They went outside. Angie showed Rogue the car and walked off. The car was blue, with one of the windows broke. Rogue got in the front seat and the boys got in the back.
"I don't bite,'' Rogue grinned,'' Anymore.''
"It's okay,'' Ben said,'' We'll sit back here.''
"Is there a problem with me?"
"No,'' Greg said,'' Not at all.''
Rogue started the car and started down the rode.
"Where is the school?" Rogue asked.
"Left,'' Ben said and Rogue went left.'' Right.'' She went right.'' Right again.'' She went right again.'' Left.'' She went left.'' Right.'' She went right.'' There it is.''
Rogue parked the car in the parking lot.' How am I suposed to remember that?' Rogue thought.
"Bye,'' Ben said.
"Tell Remy I said hi,'' Rogue yelled out the window.
"Okay,'' Ben yelled back.
Rogue smiled and left the parking lot.' Right, Left, right, right, left, and I think right,' Rogue thought,' No left.' It took her awhile to find the right way. She parked the car where it was before and ran to the bar. She quickly ran inside the bar to see that Angie was waiting for her.
"Find the place?" Angie asked.
"Ya,'' Rogue said putting on the apron that Angie just handed her.'' The boys told me where to go.''
"Good,'' Angie said,'' You never told me why you wanted this job.''
"I need the money,'' Rogue said,'' Trying to save some money up for a ticket back home. I don't want to hitch hike back.''
"Well,'' Angie said,'' You may start by cleaning the tables and at three you must go pick up the boys from school and bring them here. I need to talk to them.''
Rogue nodded and started wipping off the tables.' Boring,' Rogue thought.' What does M stand for? I must know. It will bug me if I don't find out.' Rogue finished wipping off the tables and went over to Angie.
"You never told me what M stands for,'' Rogue said.
"Oh,'' Angie said,'' M stands for...um... I'll tell you later. Right now you got to get the empty glasses.''
"Okay,'' Rogue said.
Rogue started picking up the glasses, which were on every table.' She needs more help,' Rogue thought.' Why won't she tell me? It can't be that secret. Someone in this bar must know.'
"Excuss me,'' Rogue said to a guy with grey hair and a cane.'' Do you know what M stands for?''
"The name of the bar,'' He said, then looked at Angie, who shook her head.'' I don't know. No one ever tells us.''
"Thanks anyway,'' Rogue said.
Rogue went back to picking up glasses.' This is too weird,' Rogue thought,' I thought the mansion kept secrets. This whole town is keeping secrets.' Rogue picked up the glasses, washed them, picked up some more glasses, and wiped off some more tables. She kept thinking about the name of the bar.
"Rogue,'' Angie yelled,'' It's almost 3:00.''
"Okay,'' Rogue said taking off the apron and putting it in the back.'' I'll get the boys.''
Rogue left the bar and walked back to the house. She got in the car and drove down the rode.' What way was it?' Rogue thought,' Left, right, right, left, right. There it is.' Rogue parked the car and waited. She heard someone scream and quickly got out of the car. She ran to the noise. Rogue saw Greg on the ground, with a bloody nose.
"Stay away from my girl freak,'' Someone said.
Rogue ran over to Greg and helped him up. Ben was there in about a minute.
"Leave my brother alone, Alex,'' Ben said.
"We don't want you freaks in our school,'' Alex said,'' You all need to die. Stupid mutant.''
"Hey,'' Rogue yelled.
"Do you want something?'' Alex asked.
Remy was right next to Ben. Rogue walked over to Alex.' Humans,' Rogue thought, taking off one of her gloves.' I'll teach him.'
"We should go,'' Greg said, through tears.
"One second,'' Rogue said,'' You shouldn't call mutants stupid.''
"Why do you care what I call them?" Alex asked, laughing a litte.
Rogue shook her head.
"I warned you,'' Rogue said.
Rogue touched Alex face with her hand. The boys stiffened up and started having trouble breathing. Rogue removed her hand and the boy fell down, passed out. His girlfriend screamed and ran off. Rogue turned around and walked back over to the others.
"Lets go,'' Rogue said.
The three boys quickly ran to the car, not wanting her to get mad.' Stupid memories,' Rogue thought,' Get out of my head.' Rogue got in the car, but didn't start it.
"Is somet'ing wrong?" Remy asked.
"Stupid boy memories,'' Rogue almost shouted.
"Is there anything we can do?" Ben asked.
"Can you remove the memories?' Rogue asked and they shook their heads.'' Then shut up.''
Rogue started the car and left the parking lot. The boys had to remind her to turn every now and then. Soon they were at their house.
