Chapter Two:

"What the hell is going on here?" She shouted, absolutely enraged. She looked hard at the bed. The bed in which her boyfriend Bobby and her friend Kitty were making out in. Making out in and not wearing any clothes.

Bobby grabbed his jeans off the floor and hurriedly put them on, Kitty was also scrambling for clothes but ended up putting on Bobby's shirt, something that made Marie all the more furious with them both.

She couldn't believe what she had witnessed, she couldn't believe Bobby would cheat on her. Especially now she had been cured, how long had this been going on? She had noticed some tension between the pair but she never thought that anything would come of it. Marie felt as if she had been cut to the bone, she was hurt. Very hurt. But at that moment all she could feel was anger, anger at his betrayal. Anger at the fact that she got cured for him only for him to be playing away with Kitty.

"It's not what it looks like!" Bobby insisted. Marie couldn't help but let out an overly sarcastic, almost shrill laugh.

"Your really gonna have to come up with something much better than that!" She spat, before turning and walking out of that room, before the hurt she felt brought itself to the surface and she broke down. The last thing she wanted was for them to see her cry.

She got halfway down the corridor from Bobby's room when she heard a cry of "Wait!" She swung around and saw Bobby chasing after her.

"Look can we talk about this?" He pleaded. The students in the rooms around them must have heard the commotion, as now they had an audience of curious teenagers,

"There's nothing to talk about Bobby!" She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes; she needed to get out of there. "As far as I'm concerned you've made your choice!" And before he could say anything she ran as fast as she could back to her room. Thankfully her roommate Jubilee was staying with family for a while so she could just lie on her bed and let all the tears flow freely.

Marie stayed in bed the rest of the day Saturday and all day Sunday. When it came to Monday she decided to stay in bed again and not bother with her lessons. She didn't want to face the whole school laughing at her or have to watch Bobby and Kitty together.

When it got to about midday Marie heard a slight tap on her door she had a feeling that it might be Bobby and didn't want to face him now - or ever.

"Go away" she called, putting her head under her pillow, "Ah ain't unlocking the door!"

"Rogue it's me" a familiar voice called

"Storm?" She said more to herself as she immediately sprung up and opened the door,

"Hi Rogue" she said calmly, smiling, "can I come in?" Marie suddenly felt very self conscious, she didn't exactly look her best and her room was a tip,

"Yeah, of course" she pulled the door open wider to allow Storm entry. She looked around for a moment before seating herself on the edge of Jubilees bed, Marie followed suit taking her seat on the edge of her own bed so she was facing Storm.

"I heard what happened" she said simply, not wanting to push anything. Marie knew that it would be all over school by now,

"Does the whole school know?" she dreaded the answer she would recieve. When you went to a school like Xavier's everyone knew everything about everybody. Storm chuckled slightly,

"Surprisingly no" Marie was surprised. She was downright shocked, "Bobby and Kitty have stayed away from each other. I only found out because I asked Bobby why you weren't in my lesson"

"So he told ya everything?"

"I think I got the general picture. You caught him and Kitty in a rather compromising situation" Rogue couldn't help but crack a smile,

"That's one way of putting it" Storm smiled,

"Rogue, I think you should go to your lesson this afternoon. You can't stay in here forever, you'll go crazy" Marie nodded in agreement, "Although I feel I must tell you that the students know you got the cure" Marie suddenly felt a weight drop on her heart

They know? There all gonna hate me!

"But they all seem okay with it" Storm continued, "I think they know they would have all done exactly the same thing in your position" Marie felt relieved. Things wouldn't have to change, "so, what do you say? You'll get yourself out of this room?"

Marie nodded

"Great" Storm said, satisfied and got up to leave. "I'll see you this afternoon then" she gave Marie one last smile before exiting the room.

Things may not be as bad as I thought she smiled and found began the search for some clothes to wear that afternoon. She felt a new surge of confidence and felt ready to face the school.

Thanks so much to my reviewers, and to Kat: I really considered putting Pyro in this chapter instead of Kitty after reading your review. I was so tempted!
