This chapter is in Kitty's point of view.


Chapter 3

To deceive. To deceive a person who was almost like your big sister. You know what? Practically anyone older than you here at the institute was like an older sibling, except if they were only older by a few years, and you happened to kiss them. And of course; if they kissed back.

Deceive.
1. To lead into error; to cause to believe what is false, or
disbelieve what is true; to impose upon; to mislead; to
cheat; to disappoint; to delude; to insnare.

And that was exactly what Bobby and I were doing to Rogue. Deceiving her. Misleading her. Insnaring her in a web of lies. We were leading her into error. I could go on practically forever, just taking things out of dictionaries. But I couldn't, I had way too much stuff on my mind. And why didn't Bobby do something? Like break up with her? Or just forget about us. Or maybe both.

But my overstuffed mind was interuppted by a very red in the face, and happy, Robert Louis Drake.

"Kitty!" he said excitedly as he grabbed my hands. "Kitty!"

A puzzled expression on my face, but a happy one, nevertheless, I pulled my hands away lightly.

"What?" I asked, the puzzled expression still apparent on my face.

"I broke up with Marie!" he almost squealed.

But I did squeal. I squealed so hard, I think I burst Bobby's eardrums. Or perhaps just one. Anyway, here's what happened:

Me: Oh my god, no way!

Bobby: Yeah! You wanted it, right? I mean, I wanted it, didn't you?

Me: (Squealing in excitement) Eeeeeeeeeee!

Basically, that's how it went. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't really know what happened the rest of the time, because Bobby and I ended up making out. And perhaps even further than either of us planned.

Rogue was so startled when she came into my room, me with my hands on Bobby's bare chest, and Bobby with his arms around my waist. And the fact that we were giggling really didn't help at all.

"Umm," went Rogue. "I'm interuppting something here, aren't I?"

And she just turned around and left. So I loooked up at Bobby, pretty sure that there was a wide blushed splayed on my face.

"I think you should put your shirt back on," I whispered, even more sure that the blush was widening. So Bobby put his shrirt back on, and I went to look for Rogue.

And I found her. I found her at the pond at where I had my first kiss.She was just sitting there, facing the gentle rippling of the water.

"Marie?"

She sniffled but didn't turn around. So I took a step forward.

"Marie?" And just as I was about to say "Are you okay?", I stopped myself. Instead, I said, "I'm sorry."

And she turned around, her eyes puffy and red. "What are you sorry about?"

"W-Well... You are crying, aren't you?"

Ah, she still had something to argue with. "But who says it's because of you?"

"No one." I found my voice. "But I just happened to think that because you're like this right after you saw me and Bobby... You know."

She stood up and look at me with cold brown eyes.

"Who cares what you think?" She took another step forward. "So why don't you just go and... And cuddle with Bobby or something?

Rogue's hands were at the side of head. "I hate you. I hate Bobby. I hate the world." Her hands swung forward, a wild gesture.

"I hate this world," she repeated. And she walked away, leaving me in a daze, staring after her.
