Chapter One: Hidden

~How could you give your love to someone else and share your dreams with me?~

Darn it. There he was again, sitting with me at the back of Scott's red car. I nodded my head, pretending to listen to his constant jabber about how Amanda looked at him and winked back in Math class. Thank heavens I wasn't there! I would've snapped my ruler in two and walked right out of the window.

I could always tell him to bug off and quit talking to me like that, but part of me wouldn't let that happen. Nah ah. Yeah, of course I could have done that but I wouldn't want to hurt my best friend's feelings, would I? I mean, Amanda's the only source of his happiness and I wouldn'twant to repay Kurt that way after all he's done for me. After my huge breakup with Lance? He was always there. He always had that extra time for me. To share my burdens with me, even if that meant getting hurt in the process. All I could do is to give him what he wants.

Amanda is such a great girl. Who would say 'no' to a girl like her? Definitely not Kurt Wagner. He likes Amanda, who didn't know that? The way he sets his sappy eyes at her as she waltzes right by me and greets him. He practically wooned and said 'Keety, did you zat?' or 'Keety, she looked at me!'. Sometimes I've wanted to stick my head inside my locker and not hear a word that he says. But would Kitty Pryde do that? No. She's right there. Flashing an award winning fake smile and nodding as if she was interested in what he was talking about.

Ever since that day at the school dance, he never talked about anything else but her. About how his three fingered hand held hers perfectly. Or how his prehensile tail fit her waist so well. Or how he looked at her smile and started to melt. I shook my thoughts away in disgust. I was talking like I was jealous. I've learned my lesson and I'm not ever falling in love ever again. I could be a nun or something. I wouldn't want to risk everything I have and end up losing the game all over again.

"Keety?" I heard his stupid German accent fill my ears again. I pushed my thoughts away. "Aren't you going get out?" he asked. His image inducer was turned off, his ears standing pointedly on their edges. I blinked and saw that everyone was gone, except Kurt and Scott who were looking at me with perplexed expressions.

"Yeah, like, I am." I replied and phased out of the door leaving them with a more quizzical look. I almost lost my mind as I phased through Logan in the second floor hallways.

"Watch where yer going, Half-pint. " he said, casting an aggravated look at me.

I smiled faintly and again phased into the room me and Rogue were sharing. I flopped down on the bed and scattered my books on the floor. I totally hated Thursdays. That meant an extra load of homework on my back. Exams were coming the week after next and I still wasn't ready. I started on my homework. I was almost finished. I only had to read a couple of pages in my Literature book and I was done. I flopped on my bed and started reading.

Because of tiredness and exhaustion, I fell asleep in the bed. After a couple of hours, I felt someone shaking me. I groaned and turned over. The hand kept shaking me. Sighing in despair, I looked to my bedside and looked for where the hand was coming from. A pair of golden yellow eyes were watching me in the darkness and white, pointed teeth gleamed. I skid back a couple of inches, terrified of the figure looking at me.

"Keety, I'm sorry if I voke you up. But I really need a favor to ask you."

I recognized the silly German accent and switched on the small nightlight. "Yeah? Like what time is it?" I asked, rubbing my eyes and yawning.

"It's only 10 ," he replied.

"What's it that you want?" I asked.

"Keety, can ve talk?" he said, seriously.

"Yeah, and we aren't talking right now?" I asked, raising an eyebrow, wanting to get straight to the point.

"Uh, can ve talk someplace private?" he said, and I watched him side glance over to a sleeping Rogue.

I shrugged. "Okay," I replied as I stood up and wrapped my robe around me.

I slipped on my slippers and held on to Kurt's shoulder. A puff of smoke and the smell of sulfur and we were gone. He had 'ported us to a nearby playground. It was quite old, but still nicely furnished. I took the swing and sat on it. Kurt bamfed and I saw him sit at the foot of the slide, facing me.

"Okay...?" I asked as the tensions rose between us. He glanced at the crescent moon and the twinkling stars above us. I heard him sigh.

"Keety, I have zis big problem."

The seriousness in his voice made me quiver. A cold rush of wind made me hug myself tighter.

"Anything that I, like, could help you with?" I asked with uncertainty.

"I have a friend."

I nodded to show I was listening.

"Who has a friend."

"And?" I was getting impatient.

"Who wants to know what kind of flowers does a girl like," he replied, blushing slightly.

I almost laughed at his statement but I preferred to keep quiet. My heartbeat raced as thoughts made their way in and out of my mind. I shook my head.

"Kurt, will you please get to the point?" I asked, my impatience growing a bit more.

"Uh, okay. I guess ze friend thing didn't work out zat vell on you." He sighed and shifted his hands to his knees. "Keety, since you're my best friend and all, I need advice."

I leaned forward, as if wanting him to go on. This was the most interesting thing that I've heard from his mouth since who knows when. I nodded to show I was listening.

"Keety, I-"

He paused suddenly. My throat went dry as I searched for words. I was about to say something but he opened his mouth first.

"Keety, I think I'm in love."

My eyes widened with shock. Emotions filled my eyes as I looked at him, he glued his eyes to the ground, as if finding it interesting.

"Huh? Like what do you mean? In love? With whom?" I asked, eager to know who the person was. I leaned forward more, almost dropping from the swing where I was sitting. Cold sweat dripped from my forehead as he opened his mouth and his fangs gleamed to the moonlight. It shone right behind him, giving him the glow I needed to see his face clearer. I bit my lower lip as I fiddled with my hands.

He looked at me straight into the eye. "Keety, I think I'm in love vith-"
