[PIETRO'S SIDE]
As soon as we all arrived, we got out of the van, and headed to school together. All eyes were on us. This was the first time I felt insecure.
Evan saw how nervous I started to become, "Hey man," he put his hand on my shoulder, "just because you're staying at the Xavier's institute doesn't mean you have to stick around with us."
"Are you saying you don't want me around?" I asked as I furrowed my eyebrow
"What he meant was, if you're not comfortable around us you can go ahead and hangout with the brotherhood. We are not forcing you to be by our side." Kitty replied
I looked at the X-Men's face expression, I didn't see any irritation. Alice didn't give any eye contact when I looked over at her.
"Nah, I want to get use to this feeling." I finally answered and took Alice's hand
"I think I'm going to puke." Rogue muttered.
"You need to lighten up Rogue!" Kitty teased as she bumped her hips against Rogue
"Yeah, whatever happened to that guy?" Kurt asked suspiciously
"I don't know what all of yall are taking about." She said as she pulled her hair behind her ear
"Oh you mean Gambit?" Alice asked
"CAN YOU ALL STAY OUT OF MA BUSINESS?" Rogue demanded over at Alice, Kurt, and Kitty.
"They didn't do anything wrong, so there's no reason to yell." I said seriously
"Why don't you worry about your sister Wanda and I'll deal with my own problems okay?" she rolled her eyes and went in the ladies room, "jerks." She mumbled as she swung the door open.
[KITTY'S SIDE]
Like, what was her problem? She flips out every time we talk about relationships, especially when it comes to that Cajun guy, Gambit.
"She's probably having her monthly period." Alice whispered at me
"Like every day? I don't think so." I replied with a laugh
We continued on walking all together until we saw the Brother Hood coming toward us. Scott ignored the warning that Lance gave on his face. So we kept on walking.
Now, we were face to face with them.
Before Lance could say anything, Toad hopped in front of him.
"You're going to start hanging out with these losers Pietro?" Toad asked with a smirk
"Is there a problem?" Scott asked as he was ready to attack
"Nope," Toad replied, "We just wanted to escort Lance over here to talk to his pretty kitty." He winked over at me
"Gross," I mumbled
Lance gave out a cough that sort of meant, leave us alone.
Scott nodded at Lance and turned back to face me, "We'll be in class, call us if there's any problem."
With that, everyone left, and it was just me and Lance.
"Hi," he started
"Hey," I replied trying to avoid his eyes because it might make me blush
"Um…. So how've you been doing?" he asked
"Good I guess…."
"Okay… that's great." He replied trying to sound cheerful to break the awkward atmosphere between us
The first bell suddenly rang. WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN NOW?
I sighed and looked at Lance, "Sorry, I got to get to class." I started walking away until I felt his hand holding mine
"Kitty, I don't want things to be weird around us." He looked at me with his sad eyes and didn't want to let go.
"I don't want it to be that way too Lance."
"I want us to start over," he said with a smile, "there's this cool restaurant that just opened up and I was wondering if you'd like to go there with me tonight for dinner."
"Yeah, I'd love that!" I replied trying not to squeal
"Great, I'll see you after school." before he walked away I pulled him in for a kiss.
Suddenly the second bell rang. DAMN IT!
I pulled away and gave him a quick hug, "I missed you."
