Summary:The gang separated, heading their own ways. Yumi approached college with her relationship with Ulrich coming on smoothly. Jeremie's parents had decided to send him to a business college promising Aelita that once he got back, they'll see what will become of their "relationship". Aelita and Odd still remained, going to the same school but yet they've regarded each other in a new light. They practically have ignored each other as the years progressed. Aelita's the president of the chess club, all-subjects-related-to-science club and the junior class representative. Odd drifting in his own personal taste has his own band called "Svelte Chocolat" and it's the school's most favorite local band. Not only that, but he's the school's top artist, trend-setter and player.
When these two meet again, what type of "bad" and "good" chi will they stir up?
Odd – 17
Aelita – 16
Chapter 1: Part I
There was a day that Aelita knew that something wouldn't go the way she planned it. Though, this day came by rather unexpectedly, everything had been going so smoothly, so swimmingly well that she forgot to heed the bad chi that accompanied the good chi. Wherever that good chi went, that bad chi seemed to be following rather close behind, sometimes managing to catch up with the good chi. Bad chi acted overly-greedy, always wanting to devour or overshadow good chi. It wanted to be in the limelight wherever it goes, but it seemed that its' own greediness swallowed the bad chi itself before it actually performed the task it wanted to do.
Aelita never thought that the bad chi would follow the next day, no, not at all.
"Aelita, do you think you can video-tape the performance of Svelte Chocolat tonight? I'm dying to go and see it tonight, but I have a test that's tomorrow and I have to study." Aelita glanced up from the book and the test study guide she was making for the test she was going to take the following week. She saw an anxious redhead hovering over her desk. She had two low ponytails on the side of her head, a thin outline of eyeliner and a glossy layer of lip gloss. She wore a thin sweater over a maroon tank top and a jean mini skirt with black leggings.
"What?" Aelita questioned quietly, cocking up an eyebrow at the young girl. The redheaded girl talked in such a fast manner that Aelita had barely enough time to catch on what she had just said.
"Oh jeez, Aelita, I have a test tomorrow and I need to study for it, 'cause if I can manage to get an A on it, I can change that C I have into a high B or a low A. If my parents see that I have a C, they'll totally freak out and I won't be able to be on the paper anymore!" Millie clasped her hands in front of her, her tone begging as she talked to Aelita. She whimpered and rose her eyebrows, her lips quivering slightly. The puppy look that Aelita grew to hate.
"But…I have to do this study guide and…and" Aelita glanced at Millie's face, hoping to see a look of defeat, yet once she saw the look on Millie's face. The final stage of the puppy-eyed stare, Aelita couldn't help but feel a little swayed.
"…and I have nothing to wear, even if I decide to go," the pink-haired girl finished lamely. A twinkle sparked in Millie's eye and she slammed her hands on Aelita's desk. A wide grin placed itself on her face, it seemed like it could stretch her face off if she continued to smile like that.
"Don't worry! I went shopping earlier and the clothes that I bought were so cute but then I purchased them without checking their sizes and how it'll fit on me so it's a little big on me, but I think they'll be perfect on you! Wait here for a second, I'll get them out of my locker," Millie babbled making her way through the classroom. Aelita stared after her, watching her giggle lightly as she exited the room. Aelita sighed and stared down at her study guide and glanced at the textbook on the other half of the desk.
"I suppose that this study guide can be postponed until this concert is finished," Aelita muttered quietly, closing her textbook shut.
Author's Note:
Okay listen up, this is a five-shot story. I have it all figured in my mind that I seriously can't put line breakers to seperate the different times and scenarios so this will be one of those mini stories. This chapter is especially short but I'll probably have the story later on tonight.
