Chapter 4

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP". Its had rung for 15 minutes over and over before she

opened her eyes to see that it was 7:30 and she was late for class. She didn't

want to go back to class, but she knew that if she didn't she could expect another

dip in the fountain. And maybe the change of scenery would lift her spirit.

After another 5 minutes of staring at the alarm clock and enduring the irritating

beeping, she reached over and it turned off. She dragged herself out of her bed and

closed the window shut. The sound of children yelling and playing seemed more

annoying than the alarm clock. She looked in her closet and started pulling out clothes

to wear. After searching through the piles of flashy, bright coloured t-shirts and skirts

she finally decided to wear her ratty black jeans and grey flanel shirt that she only

wears on laundry days. And her old sneakers that she only wore to gym class, as

opposed to the number of heels and strappy sandles she has closet fulls of. She looks

at herself in the mirror. Her hair a mess and not a bit of make up on her face. Usually

she wouldn't dare to leave her room without atleast mascara on, but now she

couldn't care less about how shitty her face looked. She grabbed one notebook

and a single pen and left her room.

The institute seemed so much smaller then when she first came. The hallways

were empty so that means all classes had already started. She walks over to her

Science class, takes a deep breath and walked in the room. Everyone went silent and

stared at her with disbelief. She went into her room as a cheery, bubbly girl and came

out sad, lonely and confused.

"Well hello Rogue it's nice of you to finally join us. There is a seat in the back"

Said Storm with a Smile on her face.

"Alright back to todays lessons on hurricanes, does anybody know which part of the

world experiences the most huricanes per year."she ask with no responce.

"Rogue maybe you know the answer?" Rogue didn't say a word, she just started at

her. After 10 seconds of Rogue's and Storm's staring competition Storm finally broke

away and ask Jubilee for the answer. Rogue turned back to her notebook and started

wriitting and drawing every thought in her head.

At last the bell rang. As Rogue was leaving the class room one of the student bumped

into her making her drop her notebook. She knelt down to get it and when she looked

over she saw Bobby with a girl. He had her against the lockers and were kissing as if they

were attatched at the lips. Rogue picked up her notebook and ran out of the school and

layed on the picnic table beside the baseketball nets. She stared up at the branches above

her and kept say over to herself in her head she wasn't going to cry.

"Hey" Out of nowhere a girl with a purple mohawk and dazzling blue eyes appeared infront

of her. The girl had surprised Rogue to the point where she nearly fell off the picnic table.

"Your sitting on my bench." Replied the mystery girl.

"Look I'm not in the mood for conversation right now so do you think you could piss off"

Rogue declared as she turned her head away from her.

"Hmm, see you don't understand, I have this preppy little blonde girl in my class with the

IQ of a door knob and if I go back I am going to kill her or myself" Rogue began to laugh, which

was the first time she had laughed in months.

"Alright I'll move, but only because I know how annoying those types of girls could be."

"Thanks, uh my name is Misty, and if you want you don't have to go but you do have to

endure me for the next hour and a half."

"I have no problem with that" Rogue replied.
