Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men. I don't own the song either 'Girl Next Door' by Saving Jane. And don't worry, not every chapter will have a song. There's probably only going to be one other towards the end.
SPY
Prologue: Girl Next Door
Small town homecoming queen
She's the star in this scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Rogue hated the new mutant. Some may say she was being harsh. Of course, she was quiet and hardly spoke her thoughts. But Rogue couldn't help it. She hated Carol Danvers as much as she hated the song that was playing on the radio.
Tell myself that inside she's ugly
Maybe I'm just jealous
I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her
The song wasn't the problem. It was the fact Carol hated Rogue above everything else. Of course, when around others, she acted all sweet and innocent, it was when they were alone chaos ensued.
She is the prom queen, I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door
Everyone loves the smart, powerful, beautiful Carol Danvers. She was 'perfect' in every single way. How could you not love her? She helped everyone with their work, and was loyal in the danger room. But Rogue hated her to pieces.
Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutant
Everything that you want
Never to harsh or too demanding
Rogue had her reasons, but she wished she could talk to someone, but it was nearly impossible. It was hard to tell someone you were hurting. She didn't just mean the cuts and bruises, and on one occasion, broken ribs, she meant the feeling of betrayal.
Maybe I'll admit it
I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her
But I just wanna hit her
Nobody was there for her anymore. Not like they used to. Logan was always off in his own world, thinking about the deceased Jean, and Bobby had begun to float away from her. Ever since Alkali Lake, he had been spending less time with her, and more with Carol. It was almost like she wasn't even dating him anymore. Pyro had ditched her in the Blackbird and hadn't been seen of again, but everyone knew he had gone to Magneto. That was where the most hurt came from.
She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door
Oh and I'm just the girl next door
Rogue missed John more than anyone could understand. Rogue often wondered if she had ever truly loved Bobby. But John was officially the enemy, so she couldn't afford to let her thoughts stay on him too long. No, their was only one person there for her. It was the firecracker Jubilation Lee, but even then, Rogue could only tell her limited information. So, nearly everything stayed with Rogue. In her mind and in her heart.
I don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself
I spend all my time wishing that I was someone else
But Jubilee wasn't the problem, nor was John. It was Carol Danvers. Carol Danvers and her cruel ways. Yes, Rogue was pretty much abused by Ms. Marvel. For reasons Rogue couldn't understand, Carol hated her from the first moment she laid eyes on her. Rogue wondered if Carol was oddly jealous of her, or if she just liked to show she was stronger, and better than pitiful little Rogue. Rogue later came to the assumption it was because she didn't like her absorption powers.
She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
Everything Rogue was mopping about, was why she was sitting here, in the food court of the mall, all by herself. Her head was bowed, in a defeated kind of way. Rogue growled, she hated this song. It reminded her too much of her current situation. Prefect Miss Carol Danvers. Mantrap, cruel, evil, little, petty, petty thief-bitch that Rogue wanted to pound into the dirt. She was so absorbed in her thoughts she didn't notice someone sit across from her.
I get a little bit, she gets a little more
She's Miss America and... she's Miss America
I'm just the girl next door...
A/N: Yah! Another story I'm working on! And there is a Rogue pairing for this story, and that person will end up becoming like, the secondary character, but I don't want to say who it is yet. Though I think most of you will figure it out (because let's face it, you guys are smart... or at least smartter than me) Anyways, tell me what you think of my new story and I'll continue it if you like it.
