Code: Lyoko fic, obviously. Still Depressed. I love SamanthaxOdd. Don't own ANYTHING mentioned in here.

She took a deep breath and nervously glanced around the store again, checking if anyone was paying to the girl located between the W and X Cd section. Of course not; people like her were always at the store. She was just another girl to them. This was the best part; the feeling she got, the rush of signals to her head. The fear of being able to get caught, and the amazing feeling when she didn't. She almost got caught one time, when she was with Odd, at his school. Luckily, Odd covered for her. She had never gotten caught before, and she wasn't going to start then.
With one swift motion, she picked up the Cd in the West, Kanye section and shoved it into her Nike book bag between two notebooks. She looked around quickly again, then started making her way to the exit. She waited until someone else started leaving, then walked out behind them. Just like that.
Instantly, the alarms started ringing. As always, the security guards attacked the Middle aged man who had walked out in front of her. Giving her time to run out of the store into the sunny outside world. Her bookbag flew up and down as the girl started running, but she didn't stop.
She ran for a couple blocks or so, just in case. She slowed to a stop at the corner of the third block. Checking behind her, she turned the corner-
-and Bumped into Odd.
"Sammie!" Odd exclaimed, giving her a hug before she had time to register his presence. "What an excellent surprise!"
"Uh- yeah." She put on a slightly innocent look and hugged him back, noticing Ulrich behind him. "What are you doing around here?"
"Well, we're staying over at Yumi's house this weekend, and we were hanging out at this pizza place, when Sissi and her drones showed up. To avoid conflict with her, we all left, but it was kinda crowded and we sorta got lost." Odd finished with a smile.
"Oh. So now you're looking for her?"
"Yeah." Ulrich shuffled forward. It was evident that he didn't have much respect for Samantha. Ever since that day she let Odd take the fall.
"Yeah! Do you want to come with us?"
"Odd! No!" Ulrich started. The other two turned to look at him, who lowered his head in slight embarrassment. "I mean, we might find her faster if we only have two people." This, of course, was not true at all. Samantha and Ulrich both knew that.
"That's ok, Ulrich, Samantha has good senses. We'll find Yumi in no time!" He grabbed Samantha's hand and pulled her in the direction they were walking. Ulrich scowled, but fell into step with the two.
The three had been walking for a good ten minutes up the street. Their search had been in silence so far. It seemed like they were all looking for the same person, just not with each other. Finally, Odd broke the silence.
"So, Sammie." Odd said as he let go of her hand and put his arm around her waist. "What have you been up to?"
Samantha blushed as his hand brushed against her bokbag that held the newly stolen Cd. She knew how he would feel if he realized that it was stolen. She didn't want that to happen. She tried to think up a plan fast.
"Hey, is that Yumi over there?" Samantha said, pointing in another direction. It worked; Odd let go of her and turned in the direction she was pointing in. Luck must have been in her favor today, because Yumi was walking down the street, glancing from side to side in hopes of finding the two boys.
"Hey! Yumi! Over here!" Urich yelled, waving his hand. The dark haired girl looked up, and a grin spread across her features as she saw the three advancing toward her. She jogged up to them. "Hey."
"Yumi! We thought we lost you!" Odd smiled. "Ulrich here was going crazy with worry."
Yumi raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?"
Ulrich blushed.
"Not to change the subject or anything, but have you met Samantha?" Odd gestured to her, standing next to him.
Yumi's eyes traveled over to her, as Samantha managed a small wave. "Hi. I'm Samantha."
Yumi nodded. "Nice to meet you. I'm Yumi."
"I know. I've seen you around before." The two girls exchanged smiles.
"Well, now that we're reunited, why don't we go back to your place, Yumi?" Odd grinned.
Samantha said a silent prayer in her head. Yes, leave me so I could go home and avoid all of this. It's not that she didn't like Odd. As a matter of fact, she love-
"Sure. Samantha can come too."
RIP.
"No, that's ok. I'll just go home." She tried desperately.
"No way! Come on, we have a lot to catch up on!" Odd didn't notice Ulrich scowled again. "Please?"
She turned to look at Yumi, who was nodding warmly. Samantha sighed and turned back to Odd. "Fine."
"Yes! What a great way to spend the afternoon!" The purple-clothed boy's victory cries could most likely be heard in Lyoko.
"Excellent. Let's go before it starts raining." They started walking again, Ulrich glaring at the back of Samantha's head the whole time.
---Yumi's House---
"C'mon, Sammie, just do it once."
"No."
"Please? For me?"
"No."
"Look, if you don't, then Ulrich will beat me! I'd much rather be beaten by you than him."
"Make Yumi do it."
"I've asked her eight times already! She won't do it! You're my last hope!"
"No."
"I bet she's afraid to do it." Ulrich's voice came from across the table. That was it. She would never back away from a challenge, even if it meant her embarrassing herself in front of a lot of people
Samantha raised an eyebrow. "Maybe I am. I'm afraid I will humiliate you."
Ulrich snorted. "Bring it on." He rolled a soda can across the table to the dark-skinned girl. "I dare you."
She looked down at the soda can, a smirk forming on her face. "Fine." She said, picking the can up. She stood up and held the can in front of her. Samantha popped the top, then raised the metal container to her lips. She drained about half of the can, before setting it back down on the kitchen table. Everybody watched her intently. Then-
BBBUUURRRPPP!!!
Odd was the first to break out into applause. "Man, that was great! I could never do one that loud!"
Samantha smirked and folded her arms, sitting back down in her seat. Yumi grinned. "That was impressive." Ulrich 'humphed'.
"Encore! Encore!"
She ignored Odd. "Yumi, can I use your bathroom?"
"Sure." She nodded. "Go up the stairs. It's the first door to your right."
"Thanks." Samantha pushed her chair back and walked up the stairs. She entered the bathroom and just stood there, looking at herself in the mirror. Do I have to be this way? She wondered. Why do I have to continue doing this?
She turned on the water and let it pour into her hands, then splashed it all over her face. She rubbed her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror again. She didn't like how she looked. She looked evil, devious, just the type of kid who would steal things. And she couldn't deny it anymore.
She walked down the stairs then turned the corner to the kitchen. "Thank y- "
She was met with the sight of Odd holding her bookbag, openmouthed and peering into it. Ulrich and Yumi were leaning over the table, trying to get a good look at what was in there.
Samantha stared at them for a moment, until Odd looked up and saw her. Then she turned around and pushed open Yumi's front door, running out into the heavy rain that had started since the got in.
"Sammie! Wait!" She could hear Odd's voice behind her as he ran out after her, but she couldn't stop. Not now. She ran faster and farther than she would if she had stolen something. Unfortunately, she could still hear Odd behind her.
She didn't know where she was running. She knew whom she was running from. But she had to keep going.
And that's when she tripped.
It was either on a tree branch or a stick, but it was enough to send her flying on to the ground. Samantha tried to pull herself back up, but Odd was already there next to her.
"Sammie. Why?" He asked her, kneeling down next to her mud-covered body and placing a hand on her back. She didn't answer, and instead, started crying. He let her.
