Chapter 3
The Joys Of MSN Messenger
I walked back to the dorm Kitty and I shared in a rather bad mood. This was my fourth detention in the last six months, and I was prettymad about it.
"Why couldn't they just make us stay home from the field trip?" I complained to Kitty as I flipped open my laptop.
"Maybe they think if they lock you in a room alone with John enough, you guys'll snap and kill each other, and then they won't have to give you detention anymore, since you both don't seem to learn." Kitty responded.
"Who asked you?" I snapped irritably, opening MSN Messenger.
"Uh… you did." Kitty told me with a grin.
"Shut up."
I watched as my screen name popped up (Snootch) and my Buddy List after it.
-Rogue- (offline)
-Shadow- (offline)
-Jubes- (busy)
-Bobby- (away)
-Piotr- (offline)
-Zippo- (online)
-SNIKT- (offline)
-Storm- (busy)
-Scott- (offline)
-Jean- (away)
-Professor X- (offline)
I went to sign out when I saw that the only person on was John, when a message popped up.
Zippo says:
Happy?
I stared at the screen for a second, and then typed back.
Snootch says:
Screw you, you flamer.
Zippo says:
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
I signed off.
"Anyone on?" Kitty enquired, closing her Algebra II book.
"No one that mattered." I said, flopping onto my bed, wincing as my ribs hit the mattress and stared at the ceiling.
It was quiet for about ten minutes, before Kitty asked me if I wanted to go to the Commons with her for a while. I didn't have anything else to do, so I followed her out the door.
