Another day, another nightmare.
Truth is, ever since I came here, I find myself being able to deal with them more effectively than I used to.
The people I met at the Xavier School help a lot, only the thought of them makes my day better.
Anyways.
We were in the school yard, eating lunch at one of the tables there. Jean was asking Scott about some kind of party, but I wasn't really paying attention as I used my fork to play around with my fruit salad.
"Going to Duncan's Matthew party? Nah, I don't think so," Scott said.
"Are you gonna finish that milk?" Evan asked while pointing at Scott's mini carton of milk.
"Here, you can have mine," Jean offered and handed him the carton.
"Come on, it might be fun!" Jean exclaimed, to Scott this time, returning back to their previous conversation about the party.
"Matthews is a jerk!" Scott said annoyed and I laughed inside knowing what was really going on.
Scott had started talking shit about Matthews since the day he had gone on a date with Jean.
Scott was jealous, but Jean didn't seem to understand, or did she?
"No, he isn't a jerk! I will gladly go!" Evan said while drinking Kurt's milk.
"No freshmen allowed," Scott replied strictly to Evan.
"Oh, man! Then Matthews is a jerk!" Evan said and grabbed my milk, while I rolled my eyes at Scott.
Scott saw me and sighed.
"Half of the school will be there! Suppose somebody gets too close to Kurt, the image inducer won't stop him from feeling his fur," he said, attempting to sound reasonable.
"Hey! Chicks, dig the fuzzy dude! Right?" Kurt asked me after leaning on me.
An awkward laugh escaped my lips as I pushed his head gently away from mine.
"Yeah, about that..., " I hesitated.
"Yeah, sure, whatever you say," I said, taking another bite from my fruit salad.
"See? She can't resist," Kurt said dramatically to Scott and fixed his hair as I bit my lips trying not to laugh.
Scott groaned in frustration.
"I am trying to be serious here! What if the brotherhood do something? We aren't the only mutants in the school, you know," Scott said, defensively.
"Yeah, we're just the cooler ones!" Evan said and high fived Kurt. I laughed at their antics.
"Come on, Scott! What's wrong with a little bit of socializing?!" Jean said and I could see Kurt getting more and more impatient.
"I am sorry guys, but I still don't think it's a good idea," Scott said and Kurt jumped on the table.
"Dude, it's just a party! Party! Party! Party!" He shouted repeatedly and started dancing on the table. l began laughing, but soon stopped when I saw Kurt's tail.
"Watch the tail!" Scott whisper-yelled.
Kurt was obviously offended.
"You pulled my tail, man!" Kurt shouted angrily.
"Grow up Kurt! " Scott said getting in front of Kurt's face.
"Hey! Lighten up, dude!" Kurt said getting even closer to Scott.
Now both of them looked pissed off.
"You are always fooling around!" Scott complained.
"And you are seriously cramping my style!" Kurt shouted.
"Listen -" Scott began but Kurt cut him off before he could continue.
"No, you listen! There is a sound I want you to hear!" Kurt yelled at Scott and teleported away.
I immediately looked around us, making sure no one had noticed.
Scott had really upset Kurt, not that Kurt wasn't at fault too, but still.
Scott sighed, crossing his hands.
"I messed up, didn't I?" Scott asked
"Yep," I said and looked away, disappointed in him.
"Yeah," Jean said placing her hand on his shoulder comfortingly.
"You nailed it!" Evan said and drank Scott's milk.
"You just need to apologize and everything will be fine," Jean said and got closer to Scott.
"Oh, come on, Jean! You know he jokes around way too much!" he said complaining yet again.
"Is that worth losing a friend over ?" Jean said and we all knew she was absolutely right.
"Hey, I need to grab something from my locker, coming with me Kathryn?" he asked.
Why the hell not?
"Okay," I said and walked away with him.
-Time Skip-
Evan and I were walking down the hallway when I felt the earth shake beneath me and fell against the lockers.
"What is happening?" Evan said, trying to keep his balance.
In the distance I could hear a bunch of people shouting fight and I walked to that direction.
"Hey, wait for me!" Evan shouted, running after me.
"You got to be kidding," I said to myself.
Right there, in all their glory, were Jean and Scott, fighting with Fred and Lance.
Scott was thrown against the lockers by Lance and jean was ready to use her telekinesis on Blob.
What am I supposed to do to stop this mess?
"What's going on here??" Mrs. Darkholme shouted and the crowed of kids parted for her to pass.
"We did nothing! They are the ones who started it!" Fred yelled and pointed at Scott
"Yeah, right," I muttered and Evan looked between me and the scene in front of us.
"Yeah, Summers here attacked us without a reason!" Lance said, pretending to be hurt.
"Oh, I've got a reason!" Scott hissed, ready to jump on him again.
"Enough! You two in my office now!" She pointed at Jean and Scott, who followed her to the office begrudgingly.
Lance and Fred were laughing at them and I just wanted to slap Lance for a second time, to wipe that fucking smirk away.
Once Mrs. Darkholme had left, I walked up to Lance and Fred.
"What the hell did you do?" I asked angrily.
"Hello to you too, kitty. Didn't see you there," he said with that fake-ass innocent smile of his.
I didn't have time for this.
"Cut the bullshit and tell what the fuck happened between you and Scott!" I asked more aggressively this time.
"Language, Scarface," Fred said and laughed.
"Shut up Fred, because this kitty has claws. You don't want a matching scar as hers, do you?" Lance said and reached to rub my scar but I slapped his hand away.
I looked daggers at him and if looks could kill he would have been dead by now.
"Okay, jeez kitten! Something about your boyfriend," Lance replied, still smirking.
Evan was just looking blankly, to be honest for a moment I had forgotten he was here.
"Boyfriend?" I asked genuinely confused.
"You know, the guy you were with, first day at Bayville high, the blue one?" Lance stated as if it should have been obvious from the start.
He was talking about Kurt.
I grabbed his vests collar and shoved him against the lockers.
"What did you do to Kurt?!" I yelled.
"Nothing that concerns you, kitten," he said.
At that moment I wanted to beat the shit out of him right then and there, until he was begging me to stop.
"Kathryn let's get out of here, we are not gonna get any clear answers from them," Evan said and I let go of Lance vest, but not without getting the opportunity to shove him against the lockers one last time.
I nodded to Evan and we began walking towards the principal's office.
"It was nice talking to you, Kitty!" Lance shouted after me and I don't know how I resisted the urge to beat his ass.
"Fuck you!" I yelled, while I kept going without looking back.
I could hear him laughing at my reaction.
This guy does get under my skin.
-Time Skip-
We were walking to the office, to wait for Jean and Scott but Ms, Darkholme ran out of the office like a madwoman.
"Who took my furniture?" She yelled furiously, and me and Evan laughed.
"Do you think she is going crazy?" Evan asked still grinning as we walked into the office.
My eyes widened. The office was empty, not a single piece of furniture inside.
"No, I don't think so," I said.
We saw Jean and Scott standing on the window, so Evan and I walked up to them.
"Now we know what happened to Kurt," Scott said as he looked out of the window.
Following his gaze, I found myself looking at Todd.
He was holding a weird machine which I realized, could make things disappear.
One moment the principal's car was there, but when Todd pointed the gizmo towards the car, a portal opened that devoured it, vanishing it from our sight.
If that's what happened to Kurt...
Then did that mean Kurt was...?
"Is Kurt gone?" I asked stuttering, feeling sick in my stomach.
What if just like that, Kurt was gone too?
"No, he is not gone, he is trapped in another dimension. This thing is a portal to another dimension," Jean explained and I released a breath I never knew I was holding.
Relief rushed over me.
My attention was grabbed again by Todd who kept using the machine, sending whatever he found in front of him to another dimension.
"We are going to have a talk with the Toad" Scott declared and we all nodded.
