Kitty yawned as she stood waiting for the bus; she shifted from foot
to foot restless even though she had been waiting for the bus for the past
two weeks before Scott had decided to drive her to school that one day.
'You get used to comfort too quickly Pryde,' she thought. She opened her
notebook and went over her notes. A friend from class had mentioned a quiz
that day; she hadn't even mentioned it to Scott.
Her eyes got filled with tears and she looked upwards to avoid having them fall down her cheeks. Regardless of common sense telling her that Jean was right, she still wasn't happy of not being able to nurture her budding friendship with Scott. It had been such a long time since she had found any one interesting at all and now that she wasn't even able to talk to Scott it made her sad as well as annoyed.
She noticed the bus coming and stuffed her notebook back into her book bag.
***
Behind the bus sat Scott in his red car, he had woken up early. Using the excuse that he had to speak to his teachers for not going to their classes the day before; he took his car and made his way early to school. He leaned over the side and noticed Kitty standing at the bus stop. He bit his lower lip and tried to ignore the tug in his heart. He didn't want to loose his friend, but he didn't want to anger his girlfriend either.
The light changed to green and he made a quick decision. Speeding up the car, he went around the bus and parked in front of her.
"Get in," he said. Kitty threw herself into the passenger's side and shut the door. He immediately sped away and without thinking took a different route.
"Where are we going?" Kitty asked.
"To school," Scott stated.
"Oh," Kitty said, he heard the disappointment in her voice and wondered what was behind it. They rode in silence and without knowing, continuously looked over their shoulder as if they were being followed. "Um, I don't think this is a good idea Scott," Kitty said. She had an ill feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"You don't think?" Scott mumbled under his breath. Taking her into his car was a bad thing, in fact everything having to do with her was a bad thing. He was risking everything just by being near her. He gasped and made a 180, Kitty squealed and pulled the seat belt on. He rapidly drove away and Kitty stared at him in surprise.
"Scott what are you doing?" She asked in shock. She turned back around and saw a smiling Jean seated on the bench along with another guy. She unbuckled her seat belt again and sank deep into the seat.
"The coast is clear," Scott said after a few minutes. Kitty straightened up and looked around, her eyes met Scott's, and he shook his head at her. "You're bad luck Kitty Pryde."
Neither one knew who started to laugh first, but once it started they couldn't stop. They just stared out at the clearing, tears running down their eyes as they thought of how bad life could sometimes get and how cruel fate could be.
"So what do we, like, do now?" Kitty asked. Scott shrugged.
"I have no idea, but school is not an option. She's supposedly fixing it up for a summer rally and I don't know where she'll be."
"And we can't go home, or that'll be extra training sessions from Mr. Logan, something I totally do not look forward to," She said, putting her arm on the back of his chair and drew her bare feet under her, leaving her sandals on the floor. "You know giving me a ride was, like, the dumbest thing you ever did."
"And getting into my car was bright?" he shot back, Kitty shrugged.
"I couldn't help myself; I waited for that bus for like an hour." She exaggerated, they remained in silence for a minute till Kitty broke it. "Wanna go to the movies?"
Scott turned to her and licked his lower lip before giving her the sternest face he could muster.
"You know what; right now I question your sanity. My girlfriend is on the verge of breaking up with me. She hates you and you want to go to the movies?" He said, astounded. Kitty breathed a heavy sigh.
"Jean doesn't hate me and I was just giving us something to do, we can't stay here forever." She said. Scott sighed heavily she was right.
"Okay, well it's too early for the movies, so what else should we do?" She gave him a mischievous smile.
"Wanna go swimming?" She said with a smile. Scott rolled his eyes and drove out of the clearing.
***
"This is why I never go bowling," Kitty muttered after she missed the pins for the fifth time. Scott laughed; his perfect score could never be broken. He was the king of bowling.
"It's that you don't know how to handle your balls Kitty," he immediately blushed at his remark while Kitty giggled maniacally.
"I sure hope I don't," and struck out again. Scott got slightly over his embarrassment and took his turn. He stepped back a couple of feet and pulled his arm behind him, than sort of sprinting forward let the ball go, another strike, another smirk and another glare. "Here, I'll show you," Scott said.
He took the time to show her physically what she should do, but when she attempted again, she missed and squealed in frustration.
"Here I'll show you again," this time, Scott stood behind her and moved her arm forward showing her in what direction to throw the ball and how hard to do it. He paused for a minute and breathed in her scent. She smelled like mangoes, he was going insane and he just knew it. Abruptly he backed off. "Now try again."
This attempt fared better than the first. Kitty screamed in delight after knocking over two pins and threw her arms around his neck and gave his cheek a sloppy kiss. She looked back at his face with a grin and noticed that they were only a few inches apart. Her smile slowly faded and she sucked in her breath.
Scott stared down at her not knowing what to do, he watched her lick her lips and felt the overwhelming urge of doing it for her. He leaned down until he felt something slimy hit his face and he quickly covered his eyes shielding Kitty from any blast. Kitty turned to see Toad seated on the chair, she looked around and found he was alone.
"Give me back the glasses slime ball," Kitty said and marched over to him, Toad hopped over her head and flipped to the other side of the aisle.
"I don't think so Kitten. You guys were a little too close for comfort don't ya think? It makes great blackmail, yo." He said, eyeing the glasses in his hand, he knew that Scott was weak without it. If he opened his eyes, he'd only hurt people and Toad took that as an advantage. He hopped over to Scott and threw himself in the air, drop kicking him. Scott fell to his knees and anger consumed him, he was ready to blast until he heard Todd squeal.
"I said give me the glasses!" Kitty shouted and whirled Toad around. Todd never saw it coming, one minute the fist was pulled back and the next he was seeing stars. Kitty took the glasses and wiped it with a tissue. She handed them to Scott who put them back on. "Come on, let's go," she said. They left after Scott washed his face.
***
They made their way to the movies in silence, ordering jumbo nachos, jumbo popcorn and jumbo soda for them to share; they decided to choose the best movie they could find to keep their minds off their biggest worry, Toad's big mouth. They were sure this was going to be found out so they decided to live out their last few moments in peace.
"How about Breathe on Me," Kitty said, pointing to a picture of a man holding a woman in his arms, Scott gave her a look. "Or maybe not."
"How about Breaking Chains," Scott said, pointing to a picture of a man with a long knife stuck through a woman's heart. At her look of indignation, Scott shrugged. They decided on a movie that was a mixture of romance and action and sat in the seats all the way in the back.
Kitty leaned into Scott, bored out of her mind.
"Scott do you think Toad will tell?" she asked, wanting to prepare herself, even though she knew the answer already.
"Probably, he won't keep that a secret. Look, I'm sorry for all that's happening," he said sadly.
"It's my fault I went in your car," she said forlornly.
"Well it's my fault I told you to get in my car," Scott told her, not wanting her to take the blame.
"Well it's my fault I fell asleep on your bed," she announced.
"Well I shouldn't have taught you how to float on your back," he commented. Kitty gave him a weird look, her nose wrinkling up.
"What does that have to do with this?" she asked. Scott blushed, but the darkness of the theater didn't let it on. He looked over to her and wondered if she even remembered what had happened at the bowling alley.
Kitty's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the look coming over his face. She took in a deep breath and her lips parted automatically, Scott stared at them and than ran off. Kitty closed her eyes and pulled at her bangs. A few minutes later, when he didn't come back, she went after him.
"Scott," she called out. She noticed the empty hallway and decided to take a peek into the boy's bathroom, entering the girls she looked through their stalls and stuck her head in the wall, trying to find Scott. She finally found the back of his head while he was sitting on a closed toilet seat.
Scott felt a weird sensation coming over him as he felt something go through his body, Kitty than stood in front of him. He looked at her and a small smile broke on his face.
"Do you ever run out of surprises?" he asked.
"No," she said, "Let's get outta here; it's almost time to go home anyway." She opened the door and led him out; unfortunately a janitor was wiping the floor. And he misinterpreted the blushes on their faces.
***
Kitty phased in through the back door of the institute while Scott walked in through the front, not wanting to get caught with each other. They were now officially banished from 'Tom's theater'. She snickered to herself and made her way to her room, Rogue was seated on the bed.
"Hey Rogue," Kitty said as she smiled at her room mate. Rogue glared at her and stood up, bumping past her. Kitty looked back and wondered what was wrong with Rogue, after she slammed the door. Kitty saw the cordless phone on the bed and gulped.
Picking it up, she re-dialed the last number.
"Why'd ya hang up, yo? I got more stuff to tell ya," Kitty hung up after hearing Toad's voice.
'Oh crap.' ***********************************************************************
Okay, I think that's a good place to leave it. That was eight pages, whoo! Anyway, thanks for the reviews and I hope you guys leave more. I have no idea what will happen next, so we'll just see what happens.
