Chapter 1: The First Wager

Hallway

Kitty and Rogue walked down the halls of the Xavier institute talking animatedly about the upcoming dance the school was throwing. They were currently so engrossed in the conversation they failed to notice a football one of the younger student had thrown in their direction. No one could do anything to stop it as it hit Kitty square in the face sending her to the ground. Laughter came from down the hall and Rogue looked up to see John on the verge of rolling on the floor with laughter. She glared at him and bent down to look at her friends and see if she was alright.

"Kitty are you alright?" She asked her friend, while the boy that had thrown the ball apologised over and over again. Kitty shook her head trying to get rid of the blurriness in her eyes but this only cause her head to spin even more then before. Rogue told the boy to go and get Doctor Grey and the boy ran down the hall calling for Doctor Grey. Rogue helped Kitty to get to her feet and nearly collapsed under the added weight the younger girl put on her. She glared at John who was still laughing hysterically.

"You know you could help." She almost yelled at him. He regained his breath and smirked at her.

"I don't think so Roguey." She glared at him again. "Your doing a bang up job there." Luckily for Rogue Bobby decided at that moment to walk into the hallway and saw that she was struggling to support Kitty so being the gentleman that he is he took Kitty and draped her arm over his shoulder taking the her off Rogues hands.

"Thanks Bobby at least you were nice enough to help unlike some people." She smiled at Bobby and John flipped the birdie to Rogue.

"No problem Rogue." He smiled back at her and John made gagging noises behind them.

"If that got any sweeter I think I'd get a cavity." This time it was Bobby's turn to glare.

"Yeah well-" Bobby started but was cut off as Jean came running up to them to looked at Kitty and then turned back to the boy who had hit Kitty.

"Honestly Thomas the way you were going on I'd thought young Kitty here was dying." The boy had the decency to look embarrassed.

"I wouldn't rule that out it feels like my heads gonna split in half." Kitty whimpered. Jean turned back to look at her, she examined her face and sighed.

"You'll be fine Kitty probably just a bruise and a headache. I recommend you go to your room and get some rest you should be fine by tomorrow." She smiled and walked back the way she had come. Rogue turned to Bobby and Kitty.

"Hey you think you could help me get here to our room?" He nodded and they started up the hall leaving John to stare after them.

Kitty and Rogue's room

Later that night Kitty and Rogue sat on their beds talking about what had happened earlier.

"I can't believe him! He just laughed and didn't leave a finger to help!" Rogue ranted. Kitty rolled her eyes.

"Well what did you expect Rogue? I mean he is John he doesn't care about anything except himself and his lighter." Rogue sighed and sank back into her bed. "And the way you two fight it's like watching an old married couple." Kitty giggled at the thought. "You guys are so alike it's kinda scary. I could so see you guys getting together."

"What!?" Rogue yelled. "Kitty that is wrong on so many levels." She shuddered at the thought.

"Whatever you say Rogue, Whatever you say." She laid back on her bed and drifted off into a peaceful sleep. Rogue however just sat there.

"I hate John... Don't I?" Rogue whispered falling into a troubled sleep.

Bobby and John's room

"John, why do you have to be such an asshole?" Bobby questioned him. John smirked from his position on the bed.

"Because I can." Bobby rolled his eyes and went back to the book he was reading.

"John I swear to god if you don't stop." He left the threat hanging in the air.

Bobby stood up from his and walked over and grabbed John's lighter heading towards the bathroom John following him the whole way.

"Dude give me my god damn lighter." Bobby smirked and held it over the open toilet.

"I bet you couldn't go a whole day without using this stupid thing." It was Johns turn to smirk.

"Care to put your money were your mouth is?" Bobby raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Your on 'Dyce." He threw the lighter back to John and looked at his wrist watch. "Your not allowed to use your lighter till 11:30pm tomorrow, that includes even opening it and if you can do it I'll give you 50 bucks."

"Easy money Drake." He turned and went back to bed and went to sleep thinking of what he would do with the money he was sure to win.

Okay that was actually pretty hard to write nor did it go the way I wanted but oh well, so tell me what you think. R&R Everybody.
