What They Say About Us
The note was shoved into Rogue’s locker between second and third periods. She unfolds it and rolls her eyes.
“What have you got there?” Kurt asks.
“Another love note. You’d think they’d come up with something original if they really want to rile us up.” Maybe she should be grateful that the words DIE, MUTIE SCUM are scrawled on a piece of paper, instead of across the locker itself.
“Be careful what you wish for,” Kurt says grimly.
Rogue meets his eyes. “Good point.” She didn’t forgive him right away for keeping his distance when they were first invited back to school, but she can’t pretend that she doesn’t understand. Unlike some mutants, he’s had to fight all his life to prove that he wasn’t as dangerous as other people believed he was.
On the way to her next class, she tears the note into the tiniest pieces possible, shaking them off her gloves and into the trash. She can’t forget that, unlike some mutants, she’s exactly as dangerous as other people believe she is.
