Chapter 3

I was now in bed; I was not very comfortable though. The springs in my bed poked me no matter how I lay and Rogue's snoring didn't help my situation at all. I made a mental note to pretend to snore all night tomorrow. In the end I ripped the sheets from bed off and took my pillow to a spot where I had no fear of Rouge stepping on me in the morning. Now all I had to do was shut up her infernal snoring.

When I woke up I almost screamed; Rogue was looking down at me. I sat up.

"Come on Libby we have to get ready for class." She said as she walked over to the bathroom.

"Oh, that's all? Would you like me to peel you a grape while I'm at it?" I lay back down and closed my eyes.

"All I asked you to do was get ready for class." She said.

"Yea but that's like me asking you to jump ten feet high or something ridiculous like that." I said opening my eyes.

She was standing in the doorway brushing her teeth. "You could go to class, or you could skip and get people to think that you're the female version of John."

"Works for me." I said looking in my itty bitty bag that I brought with me.

I took out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that said I'm with stupid. I looked at myself in the mirror.

"Rogue?" I said searching my bag.

"Yeah?"

"Uh, can I borrow a hair tie?" I said getting up.

"If you come in the bathroom there should be one on the counter."

"Thanks. I guess it would be good if I brushed my teeth huh?" I asked tying my hair in the usual spiky bun.

I left the bathroom to get my tooth brush. "Can I use your toothpaste?"

"Sure." She said turning off the shower.

I got the toothpaste and put some on my brush. It was extremely thick and the color was quite unusual. It was kind of a purple at one minute then you look back again and it's a brown. I decided I would use a breath mint for now and ask Bobby or John if they had different toothpaste I could use.

I decided it would be best if I made my bad before we left. I'm sure you can imagine how that went. I hadn't quite decided if I was actually going to class yet, Rouge said something about John sleeping in, I guess if he is there and he asks I could skip with him. They will understand, it is my first full day here after all. Hmm, maybe I could get someone to tell me where

the fridge is. I skipped dinner last night to unpack. I was so hungry that I could eat a whole pig, that's been roasted on a spit with pepper, and maybe a pinch of salt as well.

Rouge came out of the bathroom and interrupted my thoughts, I thought it was quite rude, could she not see that I was thinking about a roasted pig? "I forgot to ask you, but how come you were sleeping on the floor?"

I looked at her then walked over to my bed. I patted it and a spring shot up and onto the floor. "How could I not?"

She laughed and walked into the bathroom again.

"Think we should wake him up?"

Rouge and I had arrived at John's room,

"And as usual I have to wake him up." Said Rogue.

What I do not understand is why she said she has to wake him up f I am the one that was left to wake him up while she went to get Bobby.

I knocked on the door and yelled at him, "Open the door I need to use some toothpaste."

I heard him moan then open the door, I walked in then looked at him, "You look awful." He said closing the door.

I walked to the bathroom and called back to him, "Well, I don't think you'd be looking to peachy either if you had to sleep on the floor with a girl who's snoring sounds like an ape."

I heard him snicker a little before asking me, "Liberty right?"

"Call me Libby."

"What ever, so, you didn't her toothpaste in your mouth did you?

"No, it looked way to beautiful to eat." I pulled out my toothbrush and put some of his normal looking toothpaste on it.

"I'm changing don't come out." He closed the door.

I spit out the toothpaste and rinsed my brush. John walked in.

"Excited about class?" he asked grabbing gel out of the cupboard.

"Yep, I'm so excited I'm skipping. How's that for a first day?" I leaned on the wall.

"It's how I spent my first day… and for that matter all the rest of them."

We sat in silence for a bit.

"Well," he said putting the gel away and facing me, "I'm skipping, want me to show you where everything is?"

"The only thing that I need to know is where the fridge is."

He smiled, "Come on."

For breakfast I had my usual nutritious meal, ice cream. We ate out of the box because there was less then half left. We had just finished and were heading out when we bumped into a professor.

"Why are you two not in your classes?" she asked.

I answered immediately, "I didn't know where all the classes took place and John offered to show me around."

There was a moments pause then, "Alright, but I want you two in all your classes tomorrow, you especially John."

He nodded his head and she walked away. "You think fast kid."

I smiled.

He half smiled. "You have no intention of going to class tomorrow do you?"

I answered him by saying, "I have no intention of going, but I think Rouge and Bobby will drag me if they have to."

"Just do what I do, get up really early and they won't know that you're gone until they wake up. Tell you what, if you get up at four in the morning then I'll take you out and show the school grounds?"

"Alright."
