Douglas's POV:

If anything ever happened to you, I don't know what I'd do… Sam's voice echoed in my head. I should have been elated; Scott wasn't her boyfriend, and Sam had just said she cared about me. But she didn't mean that she cared about me the way I had hoped. She only saw me as a friend, nothing more.

"Douglas, what are you doing?" Warren asked from behind me.

I realized I had walked past our room while I was thinking. I turned, and walked inside, shutting the door behind me. Bobby and Spiro were sitting on their respective bunks. Warren sat down next to Spiro, and motioned for me to sit down next to Bobby. I did so warily.

"Dude, I'm not going to freeze you in a block of ice. Chill." Bobby said, then laughed, "Not pun intended."

I relaxed. Maybe I could make some new friends here. "So why are we all here?"

"Because we're supposed to be inside, and none of us felt like going to someone else's room to hang out." Spiro said. "Except Bobby. He wanted to go see Rogue."

Bobby hit him with a snowball that disappeared before it hit the bed. "Anyway, we wanted to talk."

Oh no.

Sam's POV:

I found the student dorm rooms, and was about to enter my room when I realized it wasn't mine anymore. I was staying with Rogue now. I turned, and found Douglas's room. Rogue had said that our room was five doors down from it, and on the other side. I followed her directions, and opened the door. Rogue was lying on her bed, reading. She looked up as I came in. "Hey."

I plopped down on the other bed, and felt like I could fall asleep right there.

"Look out the window." Rogue told me. "Isn't it beautiful?"

I smiled as I saw the brilliant pink and orange rays of the sunset. Then I froze, remembering something Logan had told me once at sunset. Before I could do anything, I fell to the floor, my mind blacking out.
