She was slightly taken aback by Haley's reaction. "You and Kurt looked so cute together," she snickered in response.
Her eyes widened. "Oh my god, how many people saw?" Haley slumped down into her desk worried for the answer.
"Pretty much everyone…"
"What?" she screeched. She ignored the looks that she received from her other classmates.
Kitty shrugged. "Sorry…" She cracked up, not being able to keep a straight face. The whole situation was too funny. "How'd you guys manage to get to school? The prof, Mr. Logan, and Ms. Munroe left earlier this morning on some business." She chose her words carefully.
"How do you think?"
"He can't teleport all the way to school," Kitty said lowering her voice.
She made a face at the memor. "Yeah, I know. We had to swim part of the way, if you know what I mean." She paused for a moment, hoping the other mutant wouldn't take that in a sexual way as most "if you know what I mean's" were.
Kitty cringed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to put you through all that trouble. You're not mad, are you?" She was worried that her new friend still didn't trust her after their little fight.
Haley thought about the event that wouldn't have happened if they hadn't overslept. "No," she replied grinning.
"Good, besides it was all Scott's idea."
"Scott?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah," Kitty nodded, her ponytail bobbing up and down. "He said it'd be funny to teach you guys a lesson."
Haley frowned, thinking. "Well, he's on my hit list. Why'd he think that we needed to be taught a lesson, anyway?"
She rubbed the back of the neck, not quite sure as to how to put it. "Um…well he thought…you and Kurt had been uh…"
"OH MY GOD! He is so going to die! What about him and Jean?"
Kitty put her hand on Haley's shoulder to calm her down. "Don't worry, everyone else knows you guys hadn't, but we just didn't feel like arguing with him. You don't know how anal he can be when people go against him."
"I'm surprised Jean didn't stop him."
"She left early for a meeting," Kitty replied with a shrug.
"Just my luck," she muttered as the bell rang.

"Pietro, no," Haley said, knowing he was there before he said anything.
He furrowed his brow, confused as to what she meant. "No, what?"
"I can't be with you, okay?" she said with finality.
"You haven't even given me a chance!"
"I kissed you. What more of a chance do you need?"
"People can kiss others when they're drunk all the time. It doesn't mean anything. Come one, let me take you on a date."
"No, Pietro." With that said, Haley walked away from him. She thought that she had done her job and was now free of him. However, Pietro Maximoff is not easily deterred. He grinned devilishly, a plan already forming in his head.

Kurt's head had been light all day. She had accepted him. They had kissed! It seemed for once his looks didn't get in the way of a relationship. This might actually work out. This was good.
He walked to lunch, his stomach full of butterflies. It was a nice change from hunger. In fact, he had hardly noticed the fact that he didn't have breakfast that morning. However, that still didn't stop him from piling up more than the normal amount of food.
Kitty had spotted him. "Kurt," she said gleefully. "You have to see Haley she's going at it with Scott." She found this hilarious and was itching to get back to see the fight. Haley was really pissed.
He raised an eyebrow. "Scott's the reason why you guys didn't get waken up this morning," she replied to his silent question.
"When you say going at it, you don't mean they're using powers, right?" Kurt asked as he shoved a few fried in his mouth.
"No, she's just bitching him out in the courtyard, but it's still funny."
Kitty started going towards the exit, but Kurt grabbed her arm. "Katzchen!"
"What, Kurt?" she asked, anxious to get to the show.
He grinned at her. "She kissed me. Well, I kissed her, but she didn't pull away!"
She hugged her best friend, glad that Haley had made the right choice. "How did Mr. Wagner muster up that courage?"
"Haley kissed me on the cheek…and I decided it was then or never."
"Why'd she kiss you on the cheek?"
Nightcrawler was exasperated by Kitty's ignorance. "I saved her life, you ought to know that by now. You see her for first."
"She conveniently left out that entire part," she muttered.
"Scott Summers, you are SO going down today after school," Haley growled at him.
Scott crossed his arms and smiled smugly. "Why don't you teach me a lesson right now?"
"You very well know why the fuck I can't. I highly doubt that you could do any worse to me right now either. But how fucking dare you assume such things!" She stomped the ground angrily. "I mean I could assume what you and Jean have done! How dare you try to punish me for something that a) is false and b) is something that you would do if you had the chance! You are a fucking jackass." Haley sure did enjoy her swears when pissed.
"Excuse me?" Scott roared, now enraged that Jean was being brought into this. "You don't know anything about me and Jean!"
"And you don't fucking know anything about me and Kurt!" Haley shot back.
"Touché," Evan called from the sidelines.
"Shut up, porcupine!" they shouted in unison.
Kitty and Kurt ran out into the courtyard. "Haley, stop this," Kurt said as he grabbed her arm.
She whirled around. At first, she was mad, but then she saw him and her heart melted. "Kurt…" she said, her voice softer.
"I KNEW IT!" Scott yelled at her reaction.
Jean marched over to him. "Okay, and that is enough from you," she said dragging Cyclops away by the ear.
"Have you been there the entire time?" he asked meekly, cringing at the thought and the pain she was causing him.
"You bet, Mister." She turned to Haley. "You and I are going to need to have a little chat today after school."
Haley rolled her eyes. "I hope it's not the talk…" Kitty giggled.
"Well, I guess I'm not getting a ride home from him," Haley sighed as she cooled off.
