Review...
Soon enough though the peace was broken by yells and footsteps from the halls below. Knowing that the bell had obviously rung Rogue packed up her sketch pad and sung her messenger bag back over her shoulder. She then took a deep breath before opening the door and descending down into the halls below, she didn't want to be late to lunch again.
Chapter 2: Mad Crazy Wade Wilson
Rogue hated the noise of the cafeteria so ever since she could remember she and her friends had always eaten outside under the massive oak tree that grew in the courtyard. Today Rogue was the first one at the tree, she fell onto the grass with a sigh and waited for the others. Thankfully she wasn't waiting alone for long.
"Rogue!" came Kitty's jubilant yell as she carried her lunch tray while Jubilee, Lance, and Tabitha made their way over behind Kitty.
Rogue waved as the peppy brunette sat cross legged, in one elegant motion, beside Rogue while the others filled in around them.
"So Jubes. Tabby. How was that math test?" Lance asked taking a bit out an apple.
"I failed I just know it." Jubes claimed with a frown.
"Ah don't undera-stand why dah two of yah can't just pass dat damn class already." Came John's accented and food filled voice.
Rogue and the others looked up to see Wanda, John, Kurt, Lexa, and Forge walking toward them. Kurt sat beside Rogue a smile on his face as he handed her a paper brown bag. She gave him a smile in return as she took the bag and opened it, pulling out her favorite Nutella and strawberry sandwich along with a peach and a can of Coca-Cola.
"Have Ah eve-a told yah Ah luv yah, Kurt." Rogue asked as she popped the can open taking a large gulp of the bubbly drink.
"Many timez," Kurt chuckled before they both turned back to the conversation at hand.
"I know why they do it." Lexa stated in her normal flat tone.
"You wouldn't." Tabitha gasped a shocked on both her face and Jubilee's, Lexa could only smile.
"They have a crush on Mr. Worthington." a cheshire like grin spreading across Lexa's face.
"NOOO!" Tabitha and Jubilee screamed before dramatically falling over.
"Hey watch it yo!" Todd yelled as Jubilee almost kicked his root beer.
"Sorry," Jubes apologies with a nervous laugh.
"You two do realize he's getting married next month...right?" Fred asked in between mouth fulls of chips as he sat down beside Todd.
"Sadly yes...But I mean everyone knows marriages don't normally last. Someone always cheats at one point or another..." Jubilee trailed in a semi-hopeful voice until Tabitha cut in.
"There's still a chance!" Tabitha yelled with a cheer.
"You guys do realize that we don't live in Hollywood or a reality show right?" Forge asked.
Jubilee opened her mouth to say something back, but closed it unable to form a reply. They all laughed unable to hold it back. Rogue took another bite out of her sandwich and soon leaned back against the tree, content in the lighthearted air that now surrounded her and her friends. "This is how it should be." Rogue thought with a sigh.
"So Rogue, What's been up with you?" Wanda asked while arching a single dark eyebrow.
"Ah'm guessin' dat Johnny an' Kurt happened tah tell yah about class, but yeah. Remy LeBeau ruined a sketch of mine and has been buggin' meh ever since."Rogue admitted.
"Now that doesn't sound like Remy at all." Jubilee murmured softly.
"I like don't know what you mean by that, because he can like so be a brown nose sometimes." Kitty interjected with a flurry of hand motions.
"You're one to talk." Forge stated with a small laugh as he tinkered away.
"GAH!" Kitty gasped before tossing a tiny rock at Forge, who dodged it without looking up.
"Either way. It don't mattah." Rogue sighed ending the discussion, even though Wanda had opened her mouth to add something.
"Oh, no no no girl. Please do continue dis enlightenin' conversation." came a rich southern accented voice from behind Wanda.
They all looked up to see Jean and Belladonna walking toward them, the latter looking very ticked off. Rogue glared them both down causing the two rival teens to stop a couple of steps farther from the group then they looked like they meant to, though Rogue wasn't the only intimidating face in the group. Wanda had conveniently slipped John his lighter as soon as Belladonna had spoken, so now the flame haired boy was busy opening, clicking the flame to life, and then closing the metal lid. Lexa wasn't looking at the two girls, but she was cracking her knuckles noisily. The rest glared just as hard as the preps, showing the group's displeasure at being over heard.
"V'at dah yeh vant?" Kurt asked his accent thickened by anger.
"My my what company you keep Kitty." Jean commented ignoring Kurt's comment.
"I suggest you either answer him, or bug off." Fred said his words enforced by the cracking of his own sausage sized knuckles.
"Shut yah mouth tubby!" Belladonna growled before turning back to Rogue.
"Ah wanna know 'y my cher, been talkin tah a no go'd freak l'ahke yah!" Belladonna stated, blue eyes flashing dangerously.
"Back off you flying hoe!" Jubilee yelled getting to her feet, her yellow coat swishing around her.
"Yellow Bitch." Belladonna rounded on Jubilee her hand flying up ready to swing and hit Jubilee, the only thing that stopped her was Lexa shooting up and grabbing hold of Belladonna's hand before it could hit Jubilee. "Don't touch me!" Belladonna growled, pulling her arm back away from Lexa.
Lexa stared down Belladonna, watching her with narrowed predator like black eyes. Jean was the one who made the next move, kicking Forge's machine from his hands causing it to fly threw the air and land in a puddle.
"NOO!" Forge cried, turning and scrambling after his machine. However Jean already stood in between them with her foot on top of Forge's machine, causing Forge to wince.
"What happened between them? She asked.
"Who?" Forge asked, visibly worried about the state of his machine.
"Remy and her." Jean repeated obviously getting angrier as Forge glanced back at his friends, so she not so gently dug her heal into the machine "Tell. Me."
"Remy messed up Rogue's sketch and now he won't leave her alone." Forge yelled out in panic reaching for the machine.
Jean gave a satisfied grin before lifting her high heeled shoe out of the mangled machine. Forge scooped up his machine, fussing over it as if it were a baby and not a hunk of metal. Rogue growled at the look Jean was making.
"Ah'll just see if dats true." Belladonna glared at Rogue before kicking dirt into Wanda and John's faces.
"I...Hate..Her." Wanda coughed out harshly leaning on John for support.
"Aye, Ah know, sheila." John comforted, patting her head.
"John." Wanda said in a nonsense tone.
"Yes, sheila?" John asked.
"Don't touch me." Wanda stated with a half hidden smile when John pulled his hand back and raised them above his head in surrender.
"Well Wanda you can join the club." Jubilee shot back as she flopped back onto the grass.
"I believe we ALL have a permanent membership to that club." Lance scoffed one arm now slung over Kitty's shoulders.
"Ain't dat dah truth!" Rogue smirked.
"You got a point there." Todd and Fred said together.
"Yup," Lexa chimed in.
"Agreed!" Kurt yelled holding his can in the air.
"To the 'Tortured by Belladonna' Club" Tabitha called, with laughs and cheers they all toasted clinking cans, cartons, and plastic bottles together. Once the toast was done however they all began to eat in silence, at least until Todd spoke.
"Yo, Forge you okay buddy?" Todd asked hopping over to the silently crying genius.
"No...No I am not alright. My baby, my beautiful baby." Forge sobbed.
"Hey man I'm sure you can fix her." Lance encouraged before softly adding "You've already fixed it fives times before."
"That's not the point." Forge murmured, "I don't have the drive to finish it anymore."
"Come on man! You can do it!" John cheered.
"Yeah don't let those bitches get you down." Tabitha added, but Forge continued to shake his head.
They all glanced at each other trying to come up with what to say next, but Fred standing beat them all to it. The large man moved around the circle until finally getting beside Forge and Todd. Fred placed a large hand on Forge's slim shoulder, which caused the genius to jump.
"You owe it to not to your self, but to your creation, to bring it to life." Fred stated eyes hard and serious, "Its like when you fall off a bike or even a bull, you have to get back on or risk never being able to do it again." Still seeing the down look in Forge's eyes Fred continued, "When I'm making a new recipe I can't give up no matter how many times I screw up, or someone else causes me to screw up. I have to keep moving forward in order to finally get that final product, to bring the food to life. If I ever gave up on a dish, it would be similar to killing a still breathing baby. Your the same way. If you leave her here now then she never lives, try again and one day she will. Do you get it?" Fred smiled at Forge.
"Yeah," Forge finally said after a few minutes, "Yeah...Yeah I think get it."
As Forge's smile returned Todd and Fred helped him to his feet just as the bell rang for next period. They all sighed and gathered everything up before moving back into the hallways of Bayville High. Rogue, Tabitha, John, and Wanda waved goodbye to the others before making their way to the theater.
"John give it to me." Wanda stated once the theater doors were in sight.
"But Wands you just given it back!" John continued to whine.
"I know but you know that was an emergency AND that you are not allowed to have anything that dangerous around Mr. Wilson." Wanda stated a smirk on her face as John opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, like a fish.
"She's got yah dere Johnny-boy. Betsy did say dat several timez at dah begin'ing of dah year, hell she even hung up dat poster, 'memer?." Rogue laughed pointing to the said poster that hung on the theater door, which read.

"Yeah that's a weird sign," Tabitha concluded, while John glanced from the poster to Wanda's outstretched hand.
"ALRIGHT!" he finally yelled, slamming his lighter into her hand.
"Better. Now have fun you three." Wanda said disappearing down the hall to her design class.
Rogue, Tabitha, and John then opened the door and walked into the strangest sight of the day. On stage sat their theater teacher Wade Wilson, who probably shouldn't be teaching and should be in an insane asylum instead of teaching unstable teenagers the art of acting, sitting cross legged upon his red plush throne like chair in the center of the stage. Now if you were thinking that was the weird part then you obviously don't know Wade Wilson. No today's oddity was the fact that Belladonna was pinned under the gold legs of the chair, while Wade Wilson pulled what looked like dozens of poison blow darts out of his arm as he sang rather loudly and off key.
"Till everything burns, While everyone screams, Burning in their lies, Burning my dreams, All of this hate, And all of this pain, I'll burn it all down, As my anger reigns, Till everything burns, Ooh, oh!" Wade sang at the top of his lungs as he pulled out the last blow dart.
"Ahem!" Tabitha coughed causing Wade to turn and look at them a little confused, before realization dawned on him.
"Sup, Trouble Tabby? Kind of you and the Marvelous Stripes to return to my little kingdom." both girls smiled and then went to their seats.
"What about ME?" Johnny asked a little panicked asWade studied the orange hair boy.
"Who you?" He asked, all three of them did a face-palm before Rogue went back and slapped John across the face causing a large red mark to appear.
"HAHA!" Wade laughed demonically, "Ok Ok, now I know." Wade stood and patted John's head gently while John rubbed the cheek Rogue had hit, "You can go sit down now, Wimp Wick."
"WHAT ABOUT ME!" Belladonna yelled still pinned under the chair.
"Shut up, SPY!" Wade yelled storming back over to the blonde and poking her cheek with his boot "Who yah work fer? The squirrels? The Georgia Ninja? AH knew it! It's the MEXICANS!"
As Wade continued to rant and rave at Belladonna, while the rest laughed and talked. John continued to rub his cheek as he went and sat beside Rogue whimpering softly, while Tabitha laughed with some of the other girls in the class.
"You hit me as hard as you could didn't you?" John asked in a hushed whisper.
"John, yah would've been through that wall if Ah had." Rogue answered as the theater door opened again.
"Thank God, Remy. Get meh Outa Here!" she yelled as the tall brown haired man walked in his tan duster, with all its many pockets, fluttering as the door shut behind him.
"AHHH..." Wade sighed, "LeBeau. Guess your gonna have me let dis spy out ain't cha?" causing Remy to laugh.
"Aye. Wilson." Remy stated with a wave of his hand.
Wade did as he was told lifting the chair allowing Belladonna to clamber out from under the chair. She dusted off her designer jeans before jumping off the stage and going to sit beside Remy, kissing his cheek dramatically. Wade just rolled his eyes before flopping back into his chair and pulling out his watch. Wade shook his wrist wildly before pulling out a hammer and bashing the watch several times.
"Well well seeing as my watch appears to have broken... again." he stated tossing the hammer over his shoulder where it hit the back stage wall and landed with a distinct 'thud'.
"You wouldn't mind would you?" Tabby asked as she stood pulling out her brightly colored iPod.
"Not at all. Plug it in, Tabby Cat." Wade dismissed her with a wave of his hand as he pulled out his cell phone, "Moldy? Yeah sorry but Betsy said I can't take the job. Why? Oh because Potty Wee Potter is her favorite character. Yeah apparently. Yeah sorry."
Tabitha ignored Wade's phone call and went over to the sound system and plugged in her iPod. After a minute of scanning for a song the blonde settled for an upbeat techno song. Rogue could only smirk as Mt Eden Dubstep "Still Alive" blared threw the theater's speakers.
I've learned to lose
I've learned to win
I've turned my face against the wind
I will move fast
I will move slow
Take me where I have to go
Tabitha laughed happily as the heavy basses assaulted everyone's senses. Rogue sank a little farther down into her seat until the low bass was literally moving her. She smiled a large cheshire smile as John pulled her out of the chair so they could join Tabitha who was already dancing on stage with the other students.
Rogue could see Tabitha and her wild partner in crime, AJ, jumping up and down their colored blonde hair whipping all around their faces. On the other side of the stage was Jared who had his arms around Sam, "One of dah few couples dat I hav' met that actually didn't make meh wannna puke," Rogue thought. Together they were slowly swaying from side to side just relaxing and watching AJ and Tabitha's crazy spectacle called dancing.
I've learned to lose
I've learned to win
I've turned my face against the wind
I will move fast
I will move slow
Take me where I have to go
Rogue watched as Damien came up from behind her and lead John over to Tabitha and AJ who were now accompanied by several other head banging people. They were all quiet a sight with their partly died hair and their slow and fast movements. Rogue on the other hand swayed slowly but meaningfully in place, while Wade's chair stood regally behind her.
I have to go (to go)
I have to go (to go)
I have to go (to go)
There was small scream and an eww from behind Rogue, which cause the normally uncaring girl to turn around to see what was happening. Honestly she wished she hadn't. There off stage stood Remy and Belladonna who were hard core slow grinding in the aisle, while poor sweet Magenta turned and ran back up to the stage her face bright red.
Magenta with her pitch black hair with its bright purple-pink stripes hide beside Rogue, Magenta's breathing a little hitched from her panic. Her face was still a dazzling bright red, which was a large contrast from her dark jeans, black and purple ripped up shirt, and her pale skin. Rogue smiled and roller her eyes when Magenta looked up at her, this caused the younger girl to smile softly. Pretty soon AJ and Tabitha had appeared and pulled both into the circle of dancers forcing both to dance rhythmically to the music that surrounded them.
I've learned to lose
I've learned to win
I've turned my face against the wind
I will move fast
I will move slow
Take me where I have to go
I have to go (to go)
Just as Rogue began to lose herself in the music, the music came screeching to a halt. All the students clamped their hands over their ears, Tabitha was the first to recover to spot Wade Wilson twirling the cord in his hand.
"Bellz rung, kidds. Leave before I sic those squirrelys on yah all." Wade stated with a sickening smile.
They all scurried around grabbing their bags and quickly exiting, demonic laughter drifting out after them. Rogue and Tabitha waved goodbye to Magenta and AJ who were headed up to the band rooms. John soon reappeared after having some type of conversation with Damien and the others about when they were going to have some kind of game night. Rogue's attention drifted away though as she was bumped out of someone's way and into the rambling John.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Rogue screamed rounding on the person and came face to face with none other then Belladonna.
"Watch where yah'r walking, rat!" Belladonna spat back.
Rogue's first clenched and just as she was about to give Belladonna a well earned punch to the face, a large white hand clamped around her wrist. Rogue and Belladonna looked up shocked to see Mr. Logan standing there a glare in his dark grey eyes.
"Ah suggest both yah back away from each other and apologize." he growled while both girls glared at each other before looking away.
"Sorry," Belladonna and Rogue growled at the same time.
"Good. Now Get!" he growled releasing them and waiting for both to trot off to their last class of the day.
Rogue was collected by Tabitha and John, and practically dragged down the hall toward English.
"OOOOO How Ah wish!" She grumbled.
"Now now luv." John said patting Rogue's hand gently, "You'll get'her one day."
"Yeah I mean one day SOMEONE'S gonna give that..." Tabitha began but a light voice cut her off.
"Now Tabitha remember you are in school. Language." Came Ms. Munroe's gentle reprimand as they finally came to English.
"Oh...Sorry Ms. Munroe. I'll..I'll be going now." Tabitha stuttered out, checks dusted red before she took off down the hall.
"Good day children." Ms. Munroe greeted John and Rogue with a warm smile.
Rogue smiled and then walked into the room. If there was one thing she liked about having English at the end of the day it was the fact that her teacher was Ms. Munroe. Ms. Munroe liked to keep her room warm, sunny, and full of plants. Rogue went over to her window seat and set her head down, the last reason she loved it was that Ms. Munroe let her sleep as long as her grades kept up, and with a day like today, Rogue sure needed it.
-Dream-
Rogue stood on a silver walkway as colors swirled on either side of her, shot over her head, and arched under her. As Rogue walked down the path she could hear a tambourine, the soft tingling of bells, and something that she couldn't name. Then she could see something coming down the path toward her.
It wasn't huge per-say, the object was silver, dark green, and shimmering even in the very dull light as it moved down the path toward Rogue. As it came closer Rogue began to look closer at it only to discover the dancing object was several different pieces of clothing! It appear to be a gypsies' outfit straight out of a movie, with the skimpy silvery bra like top that didn't leave anything to the imagination, two slip on sleeves twirled up and around showing off the long flowing green material that cascaded down from a tight silver band, and lastly was the pair of dark green semi-see threw pants with the silver belt at her waist and another set of silver bands just above her ankles that caused the pants to poof ever so slightly. The shoes that rose and fell as if worn by invisible feet where silver flats with the slightest emerald green beading done around the edge of shoes.
There appeared to be no person wearing these cloths, yet they continued to dance and turn before Rogue. She could only watch memorized by them suddenly the dance slowed and the gypsy cloths did an odd sorta of curtsy before pulling a white snowdrop flower out of no where. Rogue tentatively reached for the flower but just as she was about to take the offering the image shattered all around her sending Rogue spiraling backward into the darkness.
-End Dream-
"Rogue?" came a tentative voice as a hand shook the sleeping girl awake.
Rogue's emerald green eyes blinked open to lock with Ms. Munroe's grayish white ones. The English teacher offered the sleeping girl a small smile before moving on toward her desk leaving Rogue to pack up on her own. Rogue blinked a couple times before noticing that Wanda was waiting for her by the door. Rogue quickly grabbed her bag and joined Wanda and together they left the school and began walking toward the main ave, and ultimately the coffee shop.
"AH! Really I can't believe it! They really have lost it you know." Wanda said after Rogue had told her about the impromptu dance party in theater class.
Rogue only shrugged and frowned. The Waking Raven was coming into sight its tan facade and its large, black, ornate raven sign swinging silently in the wind. It was amazingly busy but just the sight of the shop seemed to send chills down Rogue's spine. Wanda looked at her friend a sad smile on her face as she saw Rogue's distress.
"Don't worry Rogue. You'll be far away from her come next year." Wanda said trying to cheer Rogue up.
"437 days." Rogue groaned before waving goodbye to Wanda and entering the coffee shop from hell.
