Hey guys, I've been having this idea for months now and it just won't leave me alone. So I've decided to bring it to life ^_^
BTW, the Code Lyoko gang are 14-16 but the story starts in season 2.
Hope you enjoy my new story!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN CODE LYOKO ONLY MY CHARACTERS
Third Person POV
To the average person, the Resuvine family looks picture perfect. Andrew Resuvine, CEO of Resuvine Corp. The title was passed down to Andrew from his father. Kassandra Resuvine, his wife who only because of her father, is married to Andrew. Their two children, eighteen year old Adam and fourteen year old Katherine are spitting images of their parents. Adam is off in university majoring in business and preparing to take over his father's company. While Katherine, has spent most of her life at a boarding school for rhythmic gymnastics. For reasons unbeknownst to her, Andrew decided to move Katherine and send her to Kadic Academy where she will be a boarding school student. How will she take this transition?
Katherine's POV
'Katherine take that look off of your face' my father said to me in his usual stern voice.
'How can I? You just moved me from one of the best rhythmic gymnastics school in the world to send me to some mediocre school that doesn't even offer my sport' I shouted at my father.
Have I lost my mind? Did I just shout at my father? The no-nonsense-I-will-never-smile-even-if-you-beg-me-man.
'Katherine, don't speak to your father that way' my mother said in her usual soft voice.
My mother was the most beautiful person in the world inside and out. Her medium length blonde hair was always styled neat and perfect; not a hair would be out of place. Her eyes were light blue and enchanting and her skin was absolutely clear of any blemishes. Everyone says I look like her, but I don't see it.
'You dare raise your voice at me? I am your father Katherine and whatever I say goes. No if, ands or buts. Do I make myself clear?' he said raising his voice.
'Yes, father' I said averting my eyes from him.
'Look at me when you speak to me' he said narrowing his eyes at me.
'Yes father' I said again, this time making sure to look into his eyes.
My father was a tall, heavy built man with light brown hair and green-gray eyes that always looked mean when you looked in them. It is sad to admit, not once in my lifetime have I seen a genuine smile from my father. If I'm lucky, he might smirk but I'll only be for half a second. He was a no-nonsense kind of person and he takes life way to seriously in my opinion. But deep down he loves all of us, I think.
'Katherine, I'm sure Kadic will be wonderful, and the principal even said that you can still study your rhythmic gymnastics' my mother said.
'It won't be the same' I said with a sigh.
'Sir, we are approaching the school' the driver said in the front of the limousine.
Yes, I said limousine. My father owns one of the biggest companies in the world. That is another reason why I don't want to love to another school. We are on Forbes richest families list. I'm sure someone will recognize me and make a big fuss about it.
'Sir, we have arrived' the driver said.
He got up out of the driver's seat and came to the door to open it. After helping my mother out, he then grabbed my hand and helped me out of the limousine. Kadic academy was bigger than I expected it to be, but I was still not as big as my old school. An SUV containing my other belongings came after the limousine.
'Mr. and Mrs. Resuvine, you've arrived right on time, I am Principal Delmas. This is your daughter Katherine, I presume' he said.
Principal Delmas was a chubby man with gray hair, a gray beard and glasses. If he had on a red coat and hat, I would've thought that he was Santa Clause.
'Yes this is her,' my father said resting his hand on my shoulder. He gave it a little squeeze which meant 'introduce yourself'.
'Hello Principal Delmas, I'm Katherine Resuvine, I am honoured to be attending such a fine establishment' I said with my fake voice.
I usually reserve that voice for when I'm at a social gathering with my family and one of my father's colleagues asks me a question. Adam would see through it every time. I really miss Adam, when I would come home for breaks, we would always spend every moment together having fun. But now that he's in college, I haven't seen him in 4 months.
'Such a well-mannered young lady, your parents have raised you wonderfully' Principal Delmas said.
'Thank you' my mother answered.
'Now, I know that you requested that Katherine has her own room, but we have no more available' Principal Delmas told my parents.
Are you serious? Not only do I have to move to this school, I have to get a stupid roommate too? What if she's mean or gross or both?
'Can't you just move out one of the students who live in a room and let them share?' my father suggested.
'Sadly no, the students have already paid and we can't refund the money' Principal Delmas said.
'But no worry, the young lady who Katherine will share a room with is very well- mannered and is one of our brightest students' Principal Delmas said trying to assure us.
'Well Katherine, it is either Kadic or Arista' my father said looking down at me.
Arista academy was an all-girls school. One of my friends used to attend there and she said that it was full of snobs. But Kadic could also be full of snobs. But then again, I'm already here, we'll have to catch another plane to get to Arista…Kadic it is then.
'I'll just stay here' I said.
I saw Principal Delmas let out a sigh of relief. He's just happy that the daughter of Andrew Resuvine is staying at his school. I'm sure that the press will find out about my new school and be here tomorrow morning, asking me for an interview. Ok, maybe I'm getting a bit too ahead of myself.
'Wonderful, I'll call your new roommate out of class so that she can show you around' Principal Delmas said.
'Can you tell us which room my dorm is so that it can be ready for tonight?' my mother asked.
'Room 34 in the West Wing upstairs' Principal Delmas said.
The decorating crew that my father hired went to work, pulling out things from the SUV and walking towards a big building I presume to be the dormitories.
'I'll leave you all to say your goodbyes. Katherine, I'll be waiting right here when you're finished' Principal Delmas said as he walked towards the main building.
I turned towards my parents and looked at them. My mother engulfed me in a hug and I hugged her back tightly.
'You'll grow to love Kadic so much that you won't want to come home for holidays' she said still hugging me.
'I doubt it, mom' I said pulling back and smiling at her.
Her smile got even bigger. I haven't called her 'mom' in a while.
'I love you Katherine' she said kissing my forehead.
'I love you too' I said.
She moved away from me and I faced my father. I don't really hug him much but I guess now won't hurt. I gave him a one armed hug and he returned the gesture. It was quite awkward to say the least.
'Be good' he said pulling away.
'I will' I promised.
My mother hugged me one last time before her and my father made it back to their limousine and the driver pulled away. The decorating crew was still there and I was shocked when I saw that most of the things were almost out.
'Ready to start your new life at Kadic' Principal Delmas said walking towards me.
'Ready as I'll ever be' I said with a tight smile.
'Well let's get you acquainted with your roommate and she'll take on the responsibility of giving you the grand tour' Principal Delmas said walking into the building.
I took one last glance behind me before I sighed and followed him.
Aelita's POV
Jeremy, Odd, Ulrich and I were all trying to fall asleep in Mrs. Hertz class. We had spent all night in the factory with Jeremy while he was creating some new program for us while we were on Lyoko.
'Aelita Stone please report to the principal's office' a voice said over the intercom.
The guys all looked at me in confusion and I returned the expression. What had I done wrong? I slowly began packing my things and I walked towards the principal's office. While I walked I mulled over what could have caused me to called to his office, I just arrived at Kadic not to long ago, what could I have possible done? I hesitantly knocked on his door and opened it.
'You c-called for me s-s-sir' I stuttered as I started at Principal Delmas.
'Yes, come in Ms. Stone' he said.
I slowly sat down in one of the chairs.
'Don't worry, you aren't in any sort of trouble' he said smiling slightly at me.
I let out an audible sigh of relief and I heard a chuckle next to me. It was only now that I noticed someone else was in the room. I turned to my left and saw a beautiful blonde girl sitting next to me. Her eyes were olive green and her skin was so clear and smooth. She was wearing a blue dress and black flat shoes. Even though she wasn't wearing anything fancy, I could tell that this girl was well groomed and was 'high class'; she just had that aura about her. Her legs were crossed but I could see muscles in them and in her arms, signifying that she did some kind of sport. But they didn't make her look masculine. Overall she was gorgeous and I felt very plain sitting next to her.
'Aelita, this is Katherine Resuvine, she's new to Kadic and your new roommate' Principal Delmas said.
Roommate? Oh great, that's exactly what I needed. I'm always sneaking in and out of my room, with her there, it'll just complicate things.
'Nice to meet you' she said in a soft high-pitched voice.
Her voice sounded forced, like it wasn't her natural tone of voice.
'You too' I said with a small smile.
'Well Aelita, you can give Katherine a tour of the school and-'Principal Delmas started but Katherine cut him off.
'If its ok Principal Delmas, I would like to start my classes now and receive my tour at the end of the day' she said.
I was shocked. Most people would be happy to miss a whole day of school but she wants to jump right into it. Maybe she likes school work.
'Oh of course. Aelita, you are in all Katherine's classes so you can lead her to whatever class you have now' Principal Delmas said.
'Ok, come on Katherine' I said.
'I hope you enjoy your time here Katherine' Mr. Delmas called back to her.
She gave him a curt smile before following me out the door. It was quite awkward walking with her. If it weren't for me being able to see her from my peripheral vision, I would've thought that she ran away.
'So-' I started trying to make a conversation.
'So-' she started as well.
We both stopped and laughed.
'You first' she said.
'I was just going to ask where you're from' I said.
'Oh, I'm from a Rhythmic Gymnastics boarding school in London, but my father suddenly decided that he wanted me to change schools so now I'm here' she said with a shrug.
'Wow, I bet it's a huge transition for you' I said.
'You could say that' she said playing with her gold bracelets.
'What were you going to ask me?' I asked her.
'I just wanted to know what class we had?' she asked.
'Oh, we have science right now. In fact, we're here' I said to her.
We had arrived in front of Mrs. Hertz science class. I looked back at Katherine and saw that she looked nervous.
'Hey no need to be nervous, you'll do fine' I said reassuring her.
She nodded at me before taking a deep breath. I opened the door and everyone's head snapped towards us. I walked over to Mrs. Hertz and told her about the new student. She nodded at me and instructed me to take my seat. I sat down in my usual seat next to Jeremy and I looked at me with raised eyebrows.
'Who is she?' he asked.
'New girl and my new roommate' I said.
He was about to say something else but Mrs. Hertz voice cut him off.
'Alright class we have a new student, this is Katherine Resuvine' Mrs. Hertz introduced.
A lot of people gasped when her name was called did I miss something?
'Did she just say Katherine Resuvine? As in Andrew Resuvine's kid?' Odd said behind me.
'Katherine, if you'll introduce yourself?' Mrs. Hertz said.
'Hi, my name is Katherine Resuvine, I'm 14 years old and I love rhythmic gymnastics' she said with a small smile.
'Are you Andrew Resuvine's daughter?' a girl in the front of the class asked.
'Yes I am?' she said playing with her bracelet again.
'Who is Andrew Resuvine?' I asked.
'He's a multi-millionaire who owns Resuvine Corp. They make weapons and machinery for the military' Jeremy explained.
'Oh' I said understanding.
No wonder she's so prim and proper, her father is practically a celebrity; she probably lived in a huge mansion and has a bunch of clothes. Clothes that will make my tiny room even tinier.
'Now, Ms. Resuvine, since there are no more available seats at the moment, I will allow you to sit at the desk with Jeremy and Aelita' Mrs. Hertz said.
I watched her eyes scan the room until they fell on me. She slowly made her towards our table and sat in the chair that was placed between Jeremy and me.
'Hello Katherine, I'm Jeremy Belpois' He said extending his hand.
'Nice to meet you Jeremy' she said taking his hand.
'I'm Odd Della Robbia, nice to meet you cutie' Odd said from behind her.
Katherine turned around shocked at seeing Odd.
'Nice to meet you too…Odd' she said in an unsure tone of voice.
'I'm Ulrich Stern' Ulrich said to her.
I watched her eyes linger on him for a while before she answered him.
'Nice to meet you' she said timidly.
Did I just see her blush? Katherine hasn't been here for five minutes and she's already blushing at Ulrich.
Katherine's POV
Get yourself together Katherine. You can't be blushing; he only said three words to you. Three words. But he was so handsome, his dark brown that fell a bit into his eyes and his mysterious brown eyes. He had the whole quiet guy thing going for him. I shook all thoughts about Ulrich from my mind and tried to focus on Mrs. Hertz, I noticed she wrote an equation on the board that was wrong. Didn't anyone else notice that it was wrong?
'Umm Excuse me Mrs. Hertz, but that equation is wrong' I said.
'Oh really' she said stepping back to examine it.
'Yes, it is supposed to be 2 HCl + 2 Na → 2 NaCl + H2' I said.
'Oh yes you're right, well done Katherine' she said praising me.
'Looks like we've got another braniac' Odd said.
'I'm not a braniac' I said turning to face him.
'If you can remember all of that from memory, I consider you a braniac' Odd said.
I smiled slightly at him before turning back around in my seat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIME LAPSE-LUNCH TIME~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Finally, I'm starving' Odd said as he bust through the cafeteria doors.
Aelita had offered me to sit with her friends at lunch and I happily agreed. I went to get some food and was appalled at the food they served here. Greasy hamburgers and pizza would not go well with my diet. As a gymnast I have to be very careful as to what I put into my body. I opted just to get an apple and a bottled water; I wasn't that hungry anyway.
'That's all you're eating?' Aelita asked me as I sat down at the table.
'Yeah, it's the only healthy thing there?' I said chewing on my apple.
'Healthy, smhealthy' Odd said waving me off.
'You can say that but I have to be on a strict diet.' I said to him.
'Oh yeah you do gymnastics right?' he said stuffing a slice of pizza into his mouth.
'Yeah rhythmic' I said.
'Is that when you twirl around that long ribbon?' he asked.
'Yeah, but you can use a ribbon, ball, clubs, hoop, rope or you can just use nothing. I prefer the ribbon though' I said eating more of my apple.
'Sounds neat?' Odd said as he ate more pizza.
'How can you eat all of that and still be so scrawny?' I blurted out before thinking.
I quickly covered my mouth in shock. What's wrong with me, that's the second time I've spoken out of turn for the day.
'I'm so sorry Odd, I didn't meant to say that' I apologized.
'hey its ok, and by the way I'm not scrawny, I'm svelte' he said.
I giggled at him, when suddenly, an Asian girl dressed in all black stood by the table. Her hair was black and was cut chin length. She was also tall.
'Who are you?' she asked staring at me with a raised eyebrow.
I was about to answer when Ulrich beat me to it.
'She's Katherine Resuvine, the new student and Aelita's new roommate' he said staring at her.
Even though I haven't known Ulrich all that long, I can tell that he has a thing for this girl. Just the way his eyes lit up when she walked up to the table. Sigh, looks like he's taken…What is wrong with me. I just met the guy and I'm already thinking about dating him.
'Katherine Resuvine? You mean as Andrew Resuvine's daughter' she asked with a raised eyebrow.
I hate it when people say that. I'm my own person. I don't need to be referred to as Andrew Resuvine's daughter every time I tell someone my name.
'Yes' I said in an annoyed tone of voice.
I wasn't annoyed at her per say, just at that stupid title everyone labeled me with.
'Hey, no need to get annoyed with me. I didn't do anything to you' she said stepping closer to me.
'I wasn't annoyed at you I was just…..never mind' I said frustrated.
Once again she took it the wrong way.
'Spoiled brats, now a days' she said.
'Yumi!' Aelita and Jeremy said.
'Excuse me' I said offended.
'You heard me' she said.
I was suppressing the urge to get in her face and show her just how 'spoiled' I can be. But this was my first day of school and my father would murder me if he found out I got into an argument on my first day. I just closed my eyes and took a deep calming breath. I need to relax.
'Aelita, can you please tell me where the gym is' I asked her.
'I'll show yo-' she started but I cut her off.
'No, just tell me I'll find it' I said.
'Ok, when you walk out of here, take a left then down the stairs, it's the double doors on your right' she instructed.
'Thanks' I said as I grabbed my water bottle.
'I'll see you guys later' I said giving them a curt smile.
'Wait Katherine, you don't have to leave' I heard Odd say.
But I was already out the door and following the direction Aelita gave me. What is that girl's problem? This is exactly why I didn't want to switch schools. I opened the doors to the gym to find it surprisingly empty. I thanked God that I wore my spandex training shorts under my dress. I took off my shoes and took out my I-pod. I played a soft classical ballad and began a free routine. I executed all the kicks, jumps and leaps perfectly. This is just what I needed. I heard the music come to a stop and I looked up to see Ulrich standing there. What was he doing here?
'That was amazing? I didn't think you were that good' he said walking closer to me.
'Thanks, what are you doing here?' I asked.
'I just wanted to check on you, you seemed pretty upset in the cafeteria' he said.
'Yeah well' I said drinking some of my water.
'By the way, Yumi isn't usually like that. She was just angry about something that happened earlier and she ended up letting it out on you' he explained.
'Well that…nice to know that she wasn't really angry with me' I said.
'Yeah' he said quietly.
It was an awkward silence between us and I was praying that something happened to end it. My prayers were answered when his cell phone beeped in his pocket. He looked at it and his face turned serious.
'Sorry Katherine but I have to go. See you' he said running towards the door.
'See you?' I called.
He suddenly stopped and turned around.
'You know how to get to your dorm right' he asked.
'Yeah, Aelita told me' I answered.
'Ok then, bye' he said running out the door.
I watched as the double door shut loudly. I started to play more music from my I-pod and began another routine, trying to forget the troubles of my life.

Is it good, bad, ugly? Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask or tell me anything. I'm open to all constructive criticism.
