Chapter one: A new Emotion
It was the day before summer vacation, and Kadic Academy was all a bustle. That night would be an outdoor movie on the soccer field. This was a great way to spend the last day at Kadic with all your friends before going away to spend summer vacation with your family. Jim was setting up the giant film screen on the soccer field when the last bell of the day rang. Jeremy, Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita exited from their classroom and were heading to go to their rooms to retrieve some blankets to set up on the grass. It was only five o'clock, but if they wanted a good seat they had better hurry. Jeremy was sitting at his computer when Aelita came in.
"Jeremy? Want to go to the movie with me?" Aelita asked him as she sat on the edge of his bed. He typed briskly before turning to answer her.
"I'm not going. I have to pack, and it's such a waste of a good night. I'm staying here incase XANA attacks."
Aelita just sat there looking at the floor. Jeremy and her were spending less and less time together since XANA had escaped from the supercomputer. The only time they actually spoke was when they had to. She could feel her heart breaking as she began to loose interest in her once true love. She didn't know why, it was just a movie.
"But it's going to be fun! And we could sit together." She said trying to persuade him.
"No Aelita! I'm not going and that's final! So please leave if you're going to keep bothering me." And with saying this he heard her stomp out and slam his door. Aelita ran to her room and jumped on the bed when she got there. She curled up and began to cry. She soon fell asleep.
RING!
Her mobile was ringing. She looked at her clock through her sleepy eyes. It was 7:53 pm and the movie started at 8.
"Hello?" asked drowsily.
"Where are you? We saved you and Jeremy a spot…come on down." Yumi said.
"I don't think I'm going…." Aelita said as she could feel herself loosing control and beginning to cry again, "…Jeremy won't go with me!"
"So what? We can still hang out can't we?"
Aelita thought for a moment and decided that a movie might just cheer her up. "I'll be down soon." She said as she hung up her mobile. She changed out of her teary-wet clothes and into a pair of jeans and a pink tank-top.
As she arrived at the soccer field, it took her awhile to find her friends in the crowd. They began waving frantically when they saw her so it wasn't that hard to find them then.
"Hey guys!" Aelita said as she stepped over a couple people to get to Ulrich and Yumi. "Where's Odd?"
"He's over there." Ulrich said as he pointed into the night. She could just barely make him out. He was on a bench or something she couldn't really tell.
"I wonder why he's not watching the movie. I'll go try to get him." Aelita said as she stepped over the same people as before and began running towards Odd. Ulrich and Yumi just shrugged and began to watch the movie.
Odd was lying down on the bench just staring into the sky.
"What are you doing?" she asked while looking up to see if she could tell what he was watching.
"Looking at the stars." He simply said as he sat up to make room for his friend. She sat next to him and began to watch the stars. "I always wanted to see a shooting star. So that's what I was looking for…" he began breaking the silence between them. "…you know if you can make a wish on one?"
Aelita simply looked at him in amazement. She thought he was just kidding but could see the seriousness in his face. She wanted to learn more but was interrupted by the wind blowing. She shivered slightly; Odd noticed so he reached down next to the bench and picked up the blanket he was going to take to the movie.
"Here." He said as he draped the blanket over both of their shoulders, and simply went back to watching the stars.
Aelita didn't know what was going on, she suddenly felt sick. She liked Odd, but did she happen to like him more than just a friend with all this new attention? She shivered again. The wind was still reaching her from the distance between them. But Odd just pulled her closer and put his arm over her shoulder.
"Better?" he asked. Smiling sweetly at her, she simply nodded. She began to put her head on Odd's shoulder, when he jerked her off as he pointed to the sky and yelled. "There! Look a shooting star! Quick, Aelita, make a wish!"
"No, I can't you saw it. And plus I don't even know how."
"No Aelita I want you to have it. And it's not that hard to make a wish, you just close your eyes and think of something that you really want. Something that you can't live one more day without." He explained to her.
She knew exactly what she wanted. She closed her eyes as hard as she could and slightly bit her lower lip as she wished for the one thing in the world she wanted more than anything else.
