Here comes another story I've though up! Enjoy! Please Read and Review (R&R).

Chapter 1: The deception

The next mourning, Jeremy decided to skip classes today. That's when Ulrich and Odd came in.

"Hi Einstein!" Odd said.

"School's going to start soon Jeremy." Ulrich replied.

"I'm so close to finding Aelita's Anti-virus program, can you tell the teachers that I'm sick today, I'm going to work on the program the whole day today."

"Ok Jeremy" as Ulrich said as he and Odd left the room.

Yumi and Aelita were waiting for them outside.

"Hi guys, where's Jeremy?" Aelita asked.

Odd said, "You know the usual, he's working on your anti-virus."

"He's working himself to death, hanging out with us and school during the day, and working on the anti-virus program all night." Ulrich said.

"He must be really close to finding the anti-virus program for Aelita that he is skipping all of his classes today, he never intentionally misses a class except for PE." Yumi noted.

They had covered for Jeremy for the whole day except for Jim's class.

"Do you think I was born yesterday? He's probably skipping PE again." Jim said.

"No Jim, Jeremy is…uh…sick. Yea, sick." Odd defended.

"Ok then, I'll go check on him then." Jim then went to his room.

Good thing for him, he was watching the whole masquerade unfold. He got into his bed and put his operation into effect.

Jim barged into the room. "Jeremy! Where are you?" Jim yelled.

"Here, cough, sir" Jeremy looked very bad.

"Sorry, I thought you were skipping classes today."

What Jim didn't know was Jeremy developed a patch yesterday that made him look sick temporarily.

"Didn't my friends tell you?" Jim felt really guilty after that.

"Yea, they did, but I didn't believe them. Sorry. Get better Jeremy."

"See ya Jim."

Jeremy then removed the patch and continued his work. Jim then continued his class, but his friends wondered why they didn't get in trouble and why he said Jeremy was sick.

Odd was the first one to ask after school ended.

"I wonder how Jeremy pulled that off? Even I couldn't fool Jim in thinking that I was sick! He couldn't of made a specter, because he was in his room the whole day. We would of known if he left if he did."

"That was pretty weird. Maybe Jeremy is really sick."

This scared Aelita a little.

"I'm going to check on him." Aelita said.

Odd was going to go with her, but Yumi grabbed his arm.

"They need to be alone." Yumi said.

Odd then nodded his head and the gang watched Aelita go inside the dorm.

Next chapter coming up! For now, it's a cliffhanger!
