Rogue had just had another bad expierence with her ablities. Here she came running out of the kitchen covered in food from the food fight that led to disaster. Rogue ran down the hall weaving in and out through other students as swiftly as she could without bumping into them and up the main stairwell.
She was quite sticky from all of the ice cream, apples, and lord only knew what else from the food fight. Once at the top of the steps, Rogue turned right and proceeded down the hall in a quick pace until she reached the bathroom. She slammed the door shut causing the loud bang to echo throughout the hallway.
Rogue sat down on the toilet and hid her face in her hands and began to cry even more. Wh'ah did this have'ta happen to meh?! Ah didn' ask fo' this...Ah didn' ask fo' this curse.... Rogue thought to herself as she cried even more. Right now that's all that she really needed.
Once Rogue was able to settle down a bit and calm her nerves, she got into the shower to clean herself off leaving her dirty, food covered clothes in the hamper. She had wrapped a robe around herself that was always kept hung up on the back of the bathroom door after she had completely washed off.
Steam filled the entire bathroom covering the mirrors with a think smog. Rogue cleaned off a spot on the mirror to where she was able to see her reflextion. She then raised her right hand up to her face and rested it upon her cheek. This is mah only touch....Mah only feelin'...Rogue closed her eyes and turned her head in the other direction. She took a deep sigh before opening the door to head down teh hall to her bedroom.
Once in her room, she shut her door quietly and turned on the light. She had clothes scatterd all over her bed from tryin to figure out what to wear earlier that day to try and impress Bobby, but she had never seen him. Rogue quickly went over to her bed and picked out a pair of dark blue jeans, a black short-sleeved t-shirt and a long pair of black gloves. She had went over to her dresser for her undergarments and quickly got dressed, putting her gloves on last.
She considered them her "sheild" from all skin-to-skin contact, but today that was proven wrong. Not knowing what else to do she slowly put her clothes away back in their proper place; gloves in the very top drawer. Rogue then crawled into bed and held onto her pillow wishing for touch and began to sliently cry.

After what had seemed to be forever for Rogue, she dicided that she just couldn't isolate herlsef in her room for much longer. Sooner or later someone was going to worry. Whether it was Bobby, Kendall, Jubille, or the Professor; someone would. Rogue sat at the edge of her bed and looked down at the floor as she cleared her face of all evidence of her crying. She then glanced out her bedroom window to see the sun going down. They shoul' all be gone beh now Marie... she thought to herself. Rogue stood up out of bed and went on put on a pair of black ankel socks then headed out of her room as quietly as she could.

"d**n!" Calvin said trying to slow down as he raced down the hall. Rogue had abruptly left her room and going the speed he was flying meant that it was inevitable that they would run into each other.
When they collided Calvin made sure he took the fall by wrapping himself around her. He landed flat on his back with her on top of him. "Uhhh...sorry." He said more then a little guilty and embarrassed. It was by pure luck they didn't make any skin contact.

Rogue wasn't paying attention to see if anyone was in the halls with her. She just wanted to get out of her room and head out somewhere. The next thing she knew, she was hit hard and on the floor on top of some guy she had never seen before. She looked at him in the eyes stunned not saying a word. It wasn't until he said he was sorry that she realized where she was. Rogue quickly scrambled to her feet and took a few steps back from the boy.
"Why don' y'watch where y'going sugah. Y'could really hurt someone yknow." she said in a staggering voice considering the incodent she had just went through earlier in the kitchen.

Calvin sighed. He had been watching where he was going, he was just going to fast to stop in time. "I really am sorry." He said getting up to his feet. "No more flying in the mansion. I promise."
He stuck out his hand to shake hers. "I'm Calvin by the way. Can I do something to make up for running into you?"

Rogue looked down at his hand after he had apologized. She couldn't just not touch peope any more whether or not she was wearing her gloves. she took a deep breath and held it as she took a hold of his hand for a hand shake and looked back up at him.
"It's okay, Calvin? Ah'll be fine. Mah name's Rogue by t'way." she said letting go of his hand. She fetl slightly odd being there, but she stayed and kept her calm all at the same time.

Calvin nodded. He recognized her name because of the Professor. He knew she was having trouble and grief because of her power but he didn't know what she could do.
"Everything alright?" He asked and tried to not use the telepathic power he had stored to simply read her mind. He enjoyed the ability but knew not to use it without permission or as a last case scenario.

Rogue looked at the boy a little oddly. how could he know there was something wrong with her? She was doing her best to hide it, but obviously not good enough. Rogue smiled at the boy as she crossed her arms around her chest.
"Of course! Why whouldn' t'ere be?" she said in a slightly happy yet fake tone. Ropgue walked around the boy and stood on his oppisite side looking him over. She had never seen him around here. Hmm....must'a be a new kid. Tough.. she tought to herself.

Calvin shrugged. "Just something I may have heard. Something about your mutant power." If it was painful or dangerous he didn't want to ask her exactly what it was. He could always read her mind though. He needed to remind himself that he shouldn't again.
"I used to be a student here." He explained. "My codename is Mimic." He hoped sharing information about himself would make her do the same.

Rogue leaned up against the wall more curious now then ever. People must have been talkin about the incodent. She didn't like that not one bit. She eyed Calvin a bit more before raising her eyebrows at him.
So tell meh, love, where'd y'hear this?" she asked just before he finished his last question."Used to be eh? Well fo' someone who's a used t'be sure do seem not t'know an aweful lot. Names really Marie....Everyone jus' calls meh by mah code name.....Any way...if y'used t'be here, why'd y'leave?" she asked tryin to tchange the topic off of her.

Calvin frowned slightly. He didn't want Rogue to think anyone was gossiping about her. He had simply asked about the students and Xavier had mentioned her.
"I graduated and went to university." He explained. He had decided to avoid the earlier question. "I had to leave...because of personal reasons." He really didn't want to talk about that. "Now here I am running into you. World is funny, isn't it?"

Rogue gave him a corner smirk as he finished his last statement. Personal reasons can' be as bad as mine.. she though to herself. She then licked her bottom lip from it being chapped before she spoke. "Heh, y'think y'got personal problems; try bein' meh sugah." she said as he got up from leaning on the wall. Rogue walked closer to him and plucked at his shirt before turning off. "Th'world can only be as funny as y'wanna make it." she said as she slowly started to walk off a few steps down the hall.

"Hey!" Calvin said quickly following after Rogue. She was acting very coy and he didn't think their conversation was done yet. For some reason he liked her. She was different from everyone else at the Institute.
"What kind of personal problems do you have?" He reached out for her upper arm which had some skin exposed. All he wanted to do was stop her from walking away.

Rogue quickly turned around as he yelled after her. She seen him reach out for her arm, and she quickly ducked out of the way. Her facial expression had changed from a happy, care free person, to one angry some body. She looked at him with furious eyes before backing away. "What y'think y'doing?! Don'.....don' touch meh! Please...it's the only t'ing Ah ask."she said trying to calm down.

Calvin starred at her while he tried to make sense of what she was saying. "But we touched earlier..." He reminded her. Nothing happened then so why would something would happen now? "I don't understand." He admitted. "Does this have something to do with your problems and mutant power?"
