Chapter Four
"Wake up,'' Remy said.
Rogue opened her eyes and looked around. She looked at Remy, then closed her eyes. Remy titled his head to the side, giving a small smile.
"No, chere,'' Remy said,'' Time to go.''
"Just five more minutes,'' Rogue groaned, pulling the covers over her head.
"No,'' Remy said, pulling the covers off.'' We are already late.''
Rogue groaned, but got up. Remy smiled and looked at the clock.
"Time to go,'' Remy said, leding Rogue out of the room.
Remy led Rogue out of the house. Remy's parents were watching them very carefully. They had to walk to school, which was far. They passed the bar, and Angie's house. They were quiet for awhile. Rogue finally decided to try to start a conversation.
"So,'' Rogue said,'' Is school fun?"
"All year round school,'' Remy said,'' Not fun at all.''
"Do people treat you nice?" Rogue asked.
"Everyone treats me like a normal person, chere.''
"Why do they treat them like that then?"
"Well, I really don't know. Ben I t'ink used his power in class to cheat on a test. De teacher didn't notice, but some ot'er did.''
"If you brother is a mutant, then the other must be.''
"Ya, t'at right.''
"Wrong, my ex-boyfriend, Bobby, has a younger brother who is human.''
"Oh.''
They walked in silence the rest of the time. When they got to school, Remy turned to Rogue, who was looking at the school, which was a red bricked building.' Is everything in this town made of bricks?' Rogue thought.
"You can stay out here and play on the play ground,'' Remy said.
"Do I look like a little kid to you?" Rogue asked.
"No, chere,'' Remy said,'' We get a break at twelve. I'll see you den.''
Remy walked into the school, where he was met by Greg and Ben. They walked off talking. Rogue looked around and sat down on one of the swings. She slowly began to swing.' I wonder how everyone is doing,' Rogue thought,' Must be going crazy without me there. Poor Kurt, I left without saying goodbye to him. I hope he's not mad about it and Logan. What must he be doing. Probably ran off again. He never stays there for long.' Rogue sighed and got off the swing. She sat down in the grass. She closed her eyes and accidently fell asleep.
"Is she okay?" Someone asked.
Rogue slowly opened her eyes. She was surround by people, who were just staring at her.
"She is awake,'' Someone else said.
"Get away from me,'' Rogue said, standing up.
Everyone backed off and left. Remy walked over to her, followed by Ben and Greg. Rogue looked at the three of them.
"You fell asleep,'' Ben said.
"I didn't mean too,'' Rogue said,'' I didn't even have to stay here.''
"Don't worry, chere,'' Remy said,'' It's time for lunch.''
They walked acrossed the street, where there was a gas station. As normal, it was a red brick building.
"Why are we going here?" Rogue asked as they entered the gas station.
"They won't let us eat in the lunch room,'' Ben said,'' We don't care. There is no good food in there.''
"Who was suposed to have the money?" Greg asked.
"It was Remy's turn,'' Ben said,'' Did you bring any money.''
"No,'' Remy said,'' I t'ought it was your turn.''
"How are we suposed to pay for our food?" Ben asked.
"Well,'' The girl behind the counter said,'' You are our best customers, so I think we can work something out. You will be back tomorrow.''
"Thanks,'' Greg said, grabbing some stuff.
"Who is your new friend?" The girl asked.
"T'is is Rogue,'' Remy said,'' She is here for awhile.''
"I said you can get something free,'' The girl said,'' I never said she could get something free.''
"It's okay,'' Rogue said,'' There is nothing good in this store anyway. What is this place? Half the stuff looks old to me.''
The girl looked at Rogue for a second, then turned to Remy, with a smile.
"So,'' The girl said,'' What are you doing today after school?"
"Going to show Rogue around town,'' Remy said,'' Very busy, Anna.''
"What about tomorrow,'' Anna asked.
"Busy t'en too,'' Remy said,'' Need to find a way for Rogue to get home.''
"What about the next day?" Anna asked.
"Not going to be here,'' Remy said,'' I'm going wi't Rogue.''
Rogue looked at Remy, with a shocked expression. He had never said that he was going to go with her and she didn't expect for him to come.
"Got what we want,'' Ben said.
They left the store. Remy gave Rogue some chips.' Crazy girl,' Rogue thought,' He ain't going with me, is he?'
"Remy,'' Rogue said,'' You were just kidding about going with me, right?"
"No, chere,'' Remy said,'' We are going wi't you. Me, Ben, and Greg. De place you talking about sounds cool and t'ere mom don't mind. T'ey left for about t'ree months last year.''
"Why are you going?" Rogue asked.
"Oh,'' Remy said,'' Because...um... I couldn't let dem go alone wi't you, chere.''
"Time for us to get back to class,'' Ben said,'' We'll see you later.''
"Bye,'' Rogue said, as they walked away.
Rogue went back over to the play ground and began to swing and eat her chips.' They are soming with me,' Rogue thought,' What will Charles say about that? I know, thanks Rogue. You brought some new recruits, they will be perfect for our team. I can see him saying somthing like that. Hey, I never asked what their powers were. I wonder what they are.'
