Chapter Five
Rogue sat on the swing until the bell rang. Kids ran out of the school. She waited for Ben, Greg, and Remy. She waited for about ten minutes before entering the school.' What is taking them so long?' Rogue thought,' It shouldn't take that long to just get out of the school.'
"Hey,'' Rogue said, walking up to some girl.'' Have you seen Remy anywhere?"
"He is down that hall,'' The girl said, pointing down the left hall.
Rogue ran down the hall. The girl watched.' She don't know what she is getting into,' The girl thought. Rogue found Remy with Ben and Greg. Greg was sitting on the ground holding his nose. Rogue walked over to them and looked at Remy.
"What happened?" Rogue asked.
"Alex,'' Ben said,'' This is the third time this week. Maybe you can teach him a lesson.''
"No,'' Rogue said,'' I don't want his memories again. They are very sick.''
Just then some people walked down the hall. It was Alex and some of his friends. Alex had a grin on his face, and his friends were laughing very quietly.
"Well,'' Alex said,'' Look who has come back.''
"Go away,'' Remy snaped.
Soon nearly the whole hall was filled with people, wanting to watch the fight. The people were yelling for Alex to kick their butts and no one was yelling for them to do anything, which didn't shock Rogue at all.
"Dude,'' Alex said,'' Why do you hang out with them?"
"You shouldn't judge t'em on what dey are,'' Remy said.
"They are freaks with weird powers,'' Someone yelled.
"You should just leave,'' Rogue said, removing her gloves.'' Or do you want to me to put you into a coma.''
"I'll sue you if you do,'' Alex said,'' This is a town that don't like mutants and my dad owns this town. I say one word to him and he'll put you in jail.''
"I don't live here,'' Rogue said,'' So how will he put me in jail if I leave?"
"Okay,'' A teacher said,'' Break it up.''
"But,'' Alex said,'' We haven't even started fighting.''
"Oh,'' The teacher said,'' Well, since you want to fight I won't stop you.''
The teacher left. Rogue stood there in shock.' A teacher won't help,' Rogue thought,' That's just great.'
"You should just leave the school,'' Alex said,'' Before you get in trouble.''
Ben grabbed one of Rogue's hands. Rogue's eyes went wide.
"Don't touch me,'' Rogue yelled.
Ben let go, he fell to his knees, trying to breathe. Rogue grabed her head, closing her eyes tightly.
"Stupid memories,'' Rogue yelled.
Just then Rogues hands were on fire. She opened her eyes and looked at them for awhile.' Fire,' Rogue thought,' He makes fire. Cool.' Rogue turned to Alex with a grin.
"Don't you even think about it,'' Alex said backing up.
Everyone else quickly ran away, leaving Alex. Rogue moved closer to him, making the fire bigger. Alex screamed like a girl and ran down the hall and out of site. The fire in Rogue's hands went out. She tried to bring it back, but it wouldn't come back.' Well,' Rogue thought,' That didn't last long.' Rogue turned back to the boys.
"Lets go,'' Rogue said.
They walked down the hall and out of the school. Remy helped Ben walk, while Greg wiped the dry blood off his face. Ben looked up at Rogue, who was smiling.' He screams like a girl,' Rogue thought.
"You used my power well,'' Ben said, giving a small smile.
"You have a fire power,'' Rogue said,'' You make fire. An old friend of my ex-boyfriends would of liked you.''
"What were there power?" Ben asked," Hey, wait, he's not gay, is he?"
"No, is is not gay. He could multiple fire,'' Rogue said,'' But he couldn't make it, so you would of been like best friends.''
"That would be cool,'' Ben said,'' I can't control my power that good.''
"What are your powers, Greg?" Rogue asked.
"I can see through people,'' Greg said,'' I used it to cheat on a test once and someone found out.''
"I thought that was Ben,'' Rogue said, looking at Remy.
"I said I t'ink it was him,'' Remy said.
"My eyes go red when I do it,'' Greg said.
"What's your power, Remy?" Rogue asked.
"I can make t'ings go boom,'' Remy said.
"That really don't give me much,'' Rogue said.
Remy pulled a card out of his pocket. It went red and he through it and it exploded. Rogue watched it explode, then looked back at Remy.
"Wow,'' Rogue said,'' That's a nice power.''
"So,'' Ben said,'' Where are we going?"
"We are going to hitch hike,'' Remy said,'' How far is it?"
"The place is in New York,'' Rogue said,'' And we are in- where are we?"
"In texas,'' Greg said,'' That's is far. It's going to be a long walk.''
"Shouldn't you get some clothes?'' Rogue asked.
"Ya,'' Ben said,'' We also have your clothes stil and we have some of Remy's clothes.''
They walked in silence the rest of the time. They got to the house and went inside. Rogue went to the room she used and grabbed her bag, while the boys went to their rooms. Remy had went to Ben's room, so she guessed that his clothes must have been in there. After gathering their clothes they left the house. They quickly started walking out of town.
