X-men - Trev
Angelica & Roberto walked across the cafeteria, holding hands, secretly gloating at the shocked stares they got from everyone that was there. They could hear whispers & chuckles but they didn't care. They were dating now, they could show affection. But the main controversy was that everyone was under the impression that Roberto was gay. "So whats going on?" people wondered.
The couple went and sat down at their usual table & with their usual friends. But something seemed unusual. Roberto had neither confirmed or denied his sexuality, even to his closest friends, so none of them were sure what they should say. They all sat for a while, trying to think of other things to talk about until Rahne sat down at the table and said "So when you two shack up?"
"Rahne!" Sam said outraged, while Xi'an just laughed.
"Don't worry Sammo" Angelica said with a laugh, "Someone was bound to ask."
"Well?" Xi'an asked, leaning on the table.
Angelica looked around & noticed people looking at her. Mainly telepaths & kids with ultra good hearing.
"I'll tell you later"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night the girls (Angelica, Rahne, Xi'an & Dani) all met at Dani/Angelica's room for a girls gossip session, while the guys (Sam, Roberto, Doug, Johan) assembled at the cabin in the woods, planning to spend the whole night having an "Alias-a-thon".
Girls:
"So..." Xi'an said awkwardly
Angelica looked around the room to see all eyes were on her. They all wanted to know what had happened between her & Roberto. She took a deep breath & started right from the start.
"On Monday, me & Roberto both had a free & we were playing pool. We were the only ones around. We were chatting idly until I asked "How did you & Sam know where we were?" Well...he seemed nervous after that & tried to change the subject but he must have realised i'd hound him until I got my answer.""
Boys:
"I had been there before" Roberto said, trying not to look at Johan. "Before I came here, I thought I was gay & still did once I was here. I had a friend who said they'd take me out & see, if I was, y'know, gay. So we went out, to Haven, & had a good time. But someone from school saw us. We tried to hide but they saw me. Thats why everyone thinks I'm gay."
Sam & Doug let out an "Ahhhhh" like they had figured something out. Johan just looked at the floor sheepishly.
Doug then got an idea & smiled. "So are you?"
Girls:
"No he isn't" Angelica said sternly to Rahne as a sly smile snuck on her face "I'm very sure he isn't. I found out for myself!"
"I told you." Dani said from across the room. Her "projecting" was now starting to die down. She was now starting to get over what happened at Haven. She had gone to classes the last few days but she was still feeling tired & miserable.
"You did?" Xi'an asked, confused. She thought that her & Johan were the only ones that truly knew about Roberto.
"Yeah" Angelica replied, "When I first came here, I wanted him so much. You have to admit, he is a spunk."
She looked at Rahne & Xi'an. Rahne looked awkward, not knowing what to say while Xi'an just smiled, & then said "I wouldn't know."
The four girls all started laughing & once they were done Angelica got back to the story.
"So, once Berto told me he wasn't gay, I was shocked! I had wanted him from day one but thought he was out of reach, but now it was revealed he wasn't. So I did what any straight normal girl would do..."
Boys:
"She asked you to what?!" Sam asked shocked at what he was hearing.
"Prove it. Thats exactly what she said dude!" Roberto replied. He had a huge grin on his face which he was trying so hard to hide, especially in front of Sam who liked Angelica for a while.
"Far out!" Doug said. He had never heard of a girl being so up front to a guy like that. He liked the idea of it. "Your one lucky guy then. I wish a girl would ask me something like that. Don't you agree Johan?" Doug said, elbowing Johan but keeping his eyes on Roberto.
"Heh" Johan exhaled uneasily, looking towards the floor, "I spose."
"You didn't have sex with her did you?!" Sam asked, with a mixture of concern & anger in his voice.
Girls:
"No, we didn't. He said he didn't want it to be like he was proving himself or anything. He said when the time was right." Angelica said smiling. She couldn't help it. Roberto was her first boyfriend beside her two day romance in year 7, & he was respecting he like a man truly should. "Anyways," she continued, "We'd get in to much trouble if we did it on school premises!"
The girls just laughed, Dani commenting with a laugh, "Your such a slut!"
"Yeah" Angelica said, finishing her laughing "We just made out. Past base one I might add"
Rahne & Dani looked at her shocked. Xi'an just smiled.
Boys:
"Dude!" Doug said with a laugh, "Way to go Idaho!"
Sam just looked at Roberto with shame. He didn't think Roberto was the type to brag. Johan just stared at the TV screen, looking kind off sad. Sam looked over & noticed and all started to fit into place.
"Hey, we've run out of chips. Come & get some with me Doug!" he said in a commanding voice as he stood up.
"Wha? Why should I have to go?" Doug said, jumping up
"Coz I said so" Sam replied. Doug realised by the determined look on Sam's face that this was an arguement he wasn't going to win & gave in.
"Fine. But I get to choose the flavour!" Doug said bitterly, walking angrily out the door.
"Whatever you want." Sam agreed nodding at Roberto as he closed the door.
The cabin was now awkwardly silent. Roberto looked around while Johan looked at the TV screen.
"He knows" Johan said sadly, "He knows. Did you tell him?"
"No way!" Roberto said defensively.
"Great" Johan replied sadly, still staring at the TV screen. He then turned to look at Roberto & tears started to roll down his face. "He must have figured it out then. So it's all over now? What we had? What we did? What we were going to do? Is this you way of telling me that we're over? By bragging in front of our friends?"
Roberto looked at the floor. He was used to breaking up with chicks back in Brazil, but not with guys. Anywhere.
Johan glared at Roberto & started to unlease his fury.
"So, you use me for sex, treat me like shit in front of everyone else & then basically cheat on me & then tell me in front of our friends!? Do you know how cowardly that is?!" he yelled, pointing his finger at Roberto accusingly.
"What?!" Roberto yelled back, "We were never dating Johan! It was just casual! You knew that!!"
Johan stood looking at Roberto straight into his eyes.
"No I didn't. You had me under the impression we were dating. That what we did was what boyfriends did! You lied to me, just to help you figure out what you were!" Johan yelled, not caring if anyone was around. He had never felt so used & worthless in his life, not even when his parents kicked him out for being a mutant.
"I'm sorry" Roberto said regretfully, looking at his feet.
"Not as much as I am!" Johan said. With that he packed up all his stuff & stormed out of the cabin, walking through Sam on his way out.
Sam looked at Johan walking away & back towards Roberto & shook his head as Doug ran to the videoplayer they had set up & pressed play, eager to see some more of Sydney Bristow, his favourite television character. As Johan ran up to his room, he overheard people asking each other "Is she really going out with him?" as he ran passed them.
Girls:
The girls had all been talking about other things going on in the school. Who was hot, who was not. They were on the topic of Doug when Rahne blurted out "I kissed him!"
The other three girls looked at Rahne surprised. "Doug?" they all asked.
"Uh...yeah" Rahne replied, feeling embarrassed.
"Whoa! Go Rahne!" Xi'an laughed, pumping her fist in the air.
"Is that why you've been avoiding him?" Dani asked compassionately.
"Yeah. Everytime he talks to me, he wants to talk about what happened & I dunno what to do!" Rahne said, looking like she was on the vurge of tears. "I've never had anyone like me before. People aren't supposed to like me!"
Dani & Xi'an went to ask Rahne why she thought that but Angelica got in first.
"No Rahne, people aren't supposed to like you. They should love you for the brilliant girl you are. And Doug is one of the people that was got it right!"
Rahne burst into tears. That was one of the best compliments anyone had ever said to her in her whole life.
"Don't cry Rahne!" Angelica said sympathetically.
"I'm sorry" Rahne said & got up & ran out of the room. Dani chased after her. Angelica & Xi'an looked at the door sadly. Xi'an then turned around & said to Angelica, "So, tell me about your friend Sally."
Nyx
Nyx noticed one of the boys run past her, and frowned as she saw the signs of tears. She decided to follow him. She knocked on the door he'd closed behind him, opened it, stepped inside and closed it again. She leant against it, arms crossed and quirked an eyebrow. "Wanna talk about it? I am very much of the not telling type. I'm a good listener, most of the time. Except when I'm pissed, in both senses of the word. So, wanna spill, sweetie?"
Johan
Johan looked up at the girl angrily.
"I don't mean to be rude but who the f*** are you? Why do you think i'd want to talk to a complete stranger?"
He sat up on his bed & stared at her waiting for her to answer
Nyx
"Well, I'm Nyx," the catwoman said as if this should be perfectly self-evident. "And sometimes you can tell a complete stranger what you can't tell your friends." She raised an eyebrow. "Particularily on things that leave your heart in broken bleeding pieces on the floor." She knew she'd struck a nerve so she pressed on. "Been there, done that, bought the goddess damned t-shirt a multitude of times. So. Tell a cat what you couldn't tell a human. I could shift, if you'd prefer to talk into my fur instead of to this face."
Johan
Johan just stared at her & then burst into tears.
"I've never felt so used in my life. He only used me for sex! I was worth nothing else, just sex! And he treated me like such shit yet I still liked him! And now he's just suddenly decided that he wants to date a chick even though we've been doing stuff for months. Just like that! I'm dropped without even a warning!"
Johan stopped now. He exhaled & looked back at Nyx.
"You can't tell anyone!"
Nyx
Nyx sat down next to him and hugged his shoulders, one hand going up to run soothingly through his hair. "I won't. But I'd very careful not to use the terms 'I wish' in conjunction with what you want to happen to him." Nyx looked thoughtful. "Or you could. I'm sure Mikhaelivlyar would absolutely *adore* to help you out. Especially if you get creative. Or I could kill him for you. Or something." She ran a thumb down the edge of his face, catching his tears. "You are a special, generous person. *He*, on the other hand, is a degenerate unprincipled bastard who deserves to be impotent for the rest of his life."
Johan
Johan looked at Nyx with an expression of confusion & sadness
"Oh no! I don't want him hurt! I wouldn't want anything to happen to him or Angelica. It's just...i dunno...I feel like shit."
Johan looked at the clock & saw that it was 10:30
"I think I should go to sleep...Have a clearer mind in the morning"
Nyx nodded & stood to leave.
"Thank you." Johan said, looking her in the eyes, "I couldn't have said any of that to Shan. Shes friends with him as well. I don't want anyone else involved."
Nyx
"Friends are important..." Nyx paused at the door and looked back. "You're a lot nicer then he deserved. I would be so out for the fire and flames of bloody vengeance about now. No wishing, unless you want something to happen to him." And with that last warning, she walked out the door. "Sweet dreams, sweetie."
Johan
Once Nyx had left, Johan went to bed, gaining comfort from the fact that he had all that he was feeling, of his chestm & he could start a whole new day tommorrow, forgetting about Roberto.
Kitty and Theresa
Kitty sighed, that poor girl. She thought about Lance. Man, her relationship with his was WEIRD. First they were friends in Chicago. THen they find out they're both mutants and she freaks out. Then she moved to NY and he follows her, just to be near her. Kitty grinned.
"ANgelica, now here's the $64,000 question. Is he a giid kisser?" she said, and evil glint in her eye. Theresa giggled.
Dani and Rahne
Dani was running past the pair looking for Rahne when she heard Theresa ask the question. She turned to see the evil glint & stopped & walked towards the two girls.
"Just wanted to point out girls, if Angelica actually hears you ask that question again, she won't be pleased. I'm sure none of us want a repeat of the cafeteria?" she said, trying to keep a stern look on her face. She knew they were just girls & that they wouldn't intentionally want to annoy Angelica. She was just worried that these girls might tred on shakey ground. Roberto & Angelica would be a hot topic for a while.
Dani looked around & then back at the girls
"I don't mean to sound like a bitch but it's for your own good"
With that she turned & ran, resuming her search for Rahne.
