Chapter Eight.
A/N: Hey thanks for the reviews - inspiration city! Well I'm posting this chapter up because it's a bit short and in my opinion a bit boring - can you say snooze fest! Oops but I shouldn't really say that before you read the chapter should I? You may click off. In that case - STRIKE MY PREVIOUS COMMENT!

Rogue bounded up the mansion stairs two by two so that she could quickly call Pietro and grab her school bag. She picked up the phone and dialled the Brotherhood's number but had a thought. *What am ah doing? Ah could just simply tell Pietro about Kitty at school!* She smacked her forehead lightly and placed the receiver down.
She entered her bedroom and quickly searched around for her backpack, racking her brain to remember where she had thrown it since she came home Friday afternoon. *Oh boy, that's not a good sign! That's means ah didn't do meh homework.* She shrugged - *oh well* - continuing to search on her hands and knees.
Buried deep inside her closet, she could swear she heard a faint tapping on the door. She crawled out and looked up to see an amused Scott standing in the doorway. She blushed faintly.
"Hey Rogue, I'm leaving 15." The older boy smiled at the sight of her dishevelled hair. "Is Kitty awake?"
Rogue cleared her throat... "Um, yeah. She's awake or at least she was when ah saw her."
"Great!" Knocking happily on the doorframe. "I'll meet you downstairs."
"If ah can find meh bag." Rogue snorted.
Scott left and Rogue breathed a sigh of relief. She continued her search for her missing backpack, grumbling to herself.
******************************* AT THE INFIRMARY **********************************
Kitty continued to stare boredly at the ceiling. Her eyelids were getting somewhat heavy but she simply refused to let sleep take her victim. She slipped into a daze, thinking about Pietro and that day at the mall - she smiled to herself at his kind, gentle and caring manner, even though he tries hard not to show it.
Kitty's smile quickly faded though, when she thought about Pietro and Rogue at the park yesterday. Even though she had blacked out, she still vaguely remembered some bits and pieces, seeing a huge picture of Pietro's arm around Rogue's shoulders, something that was now branded into her mind.
Her eyelids fluttered as sleep was slowly claiming her, when her ears were tickled by the sound of something sweet. *Noise!* Scott, Jean, Evan and Kurt were rapidly approaching, Kurt and Evan's loud chatter putting any circus audience to shame.
Kitty smiled widely and bolted up - the four teenagers strolling casually into the room.
"Hey girl, how yuh hanging?" Evan called out, skating around the large infirmary room.
Scott stretched out his hand and yanked him off his board, Evan eating serious marble. Scott smiled. "Yeah Kit, how do you feel?"
Kitty laughed. "I'm fine you guys - just bored out of my mind. Hey aren't you supposed to be getting ready for school?"
"Ja but ve couldn't leave vithout seeing how vou vere feeling." The cute german flashed a toothy grin.
Kitty sighed. "I just wish I was going with you. I'm tired of just lying here with absolutely nothing to do."
Jean walked over to Kitty's side and squeezed her hand. "I'll talk with the Professor maybe he'll let you move back to your room."
Kitty groaned, "so I can lay there and stare at those walls all day?" She flopped back down.
Jean chuckled. "At least you'll have Brad and Tom to keep you company." [A/N: Tom Welling is so uberhot!]
Kitty gave a halfhearted smile. "What's the use of talking if they can't talk back."
Jean opened her mouth to respond but Scott cut in...
"Hey you guys, we should really get a move on." He clapped his hands together - army style. He looked at Kitty, "You little miss, get some rest and we'll see you later." The rest of the guys also saying their goodbyes.
"Yeah, later." She then remembered something and called Kurt back. "Kurt what about my classes. I'll miss so much and we've got midterms next week."
"Don't vorry Keety," Kurt pulled out a tape recorder, "it's all covered."
Kitty smiled as Kurt bamfed away to join the rest of the X Men.
********************************** AT SCHOOL *************************************
DURING LUNCH...
Rogue scanned the crowd filled cafeteria trying to spot Pietro. *Geez, this should be a whole lot easier, seeing as how the guy's the only one with sliver hair!* She glanced over to the table were she and the rest of the X Men usually eat, the jock table, the nerd table, the Brotherhood table but Pietro was no where to be seen. She sighed and walked out of the café in frustration. *Ah mean the guy wants me to tell him how Kitty's doing but when I try to find him, he's not around! Men!*
Rogue walked slowly with her head bent, deep in thought. She hadn't even seen someone approaching until she bumped into something soft and landing directly on her butt. She groaned and looked up.
"Sorry Rogue." Pietro winked. "But I guess you're not the first girl I've knocked off her feet."
Rogue mumbled an "oh brother" as Pietro held out a hand to help her up. She glowered at him. "Where on earth have yuh been? Ah've been looking everywhere for yuh!"
Pietro raised an eyebrow suggestively.
"Get over yuhself. Ah just wanted to let yuh know that's Kitty's fine - that is if yuh were still interested."
He looked at her in astonishment. "Of course I'm still interested. Afterall I've got something riding on this."
Rogue shook her head. "Yeah whatever Pietro. She'll be back at school in a while."
Pietro's brows furrowed. "So I guess she's not going to the dance."
"Ah really can't say but most likely - no. She's having a fit over her swollen arm." Rogue smiled.
Pietro cleared his throat. "Um... are you going?"
Rogue looked at him in amazement and total perplexity, her eyebrow cocked.
