this chapter's a lot shorter then the other too, sorry about that. Lana's actually the first of the digi-destined to enter the digital world and she goes to the same college as Jamie. Vince is the only one from a different area but I may change that later. Next chapter is also about Lana.
Chapter 3: Enter Lana Dupot
A teacher stands in front of his class as he aids them in their lesson. The black board behind him was filled with numbers and complex equations. Most of the students paid attention to his words, taking detailed notes to study for the exam the following week. However some paid little attention to the professor, either out of self confidence in their knowledge over the subject or they just could care less about the class.
One of the students who paid little attention sat in the back of the room. She wore a light blue plaid shirt that was untucked and fell outside her blue jeans. Wires from earbuds fell down from her ears to an MP3 player in hidden in her pocket. She tapped her pencil against the desk to the rhythm of the music. She muttered softly under her breath the words to the song, though no one could hear her. As the song began to reach it's chorus however, the girl lost control of herself and started singing loudly.
"I'mma do the things that I wanna do / I ain't got a thing to prove to you / I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans / Excuse my manners if I make a scene!"
It was then that she opened her eyes and noticed the class staring at her. She had stood up at some point during her singing and now could feel her face growing warm with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry Ms. Dupot but I simply can't excuse these behaviors," the teacher said. Some of the students giggled slightly and the girl slowly sank back into her seat. "Now if Ms. Dupot is done with her show, allow me to return to the lesson."
The boy in the seat next to her leaned close with a smile on his face. "Nice one Lana. Got any more songs you'd like to sing for us?"
"Shut up Ty," Lana said and pushed him away playfully.
"So you never answered me when I asked you out," Ty said.
"I did answer, you just chose to ignore it since I said no," Lana said as she pulled her MP3 player out of her pocket and wrapped the ear buds around it. Class would be ending soon and she figured the MP3 player had caused her enough trouble for one class.
"C'mon. Why won't you go out with me?" Ty asked.
"I told you, I don't like you."
"Bull, tell me the real reason."
"I don't like boys. Well I do, but I'm looking for a girlfriend and not a boyfriend," Lana finally said. Ty sat back in his seat.
"So what? You're a lesbian or something?"
"I didn't say that. I like both, I'm bi."'
"Whatever…" Ty said. He muttered something under his breath but Lana could hear it clear as day. Ty had called her a freak. She hung her head low and sighed. There goes another friend who won't accept me… Lana though. As the class ended Lana quickly gathered her things and rushed out of the class. She went to the campus library to isolate herself and calm down.
"Hey," she said as she walked in and waved slightly to the guy behind the circulation desk. The guy looked up from his work and saw Lana. He didn't know who she was or why she always waved to him, but felt it would be rude to ignore her so he waved back.
"Oh hey…" he said and went back to his work behind the computer.
Lana went to the back of the video lab of the library and sat in the back corner. There was one other student there watching a video and one of the staff members was behind the desk, about to leave. Lana pulled her laptop out of her laptop case and powered it on.
She typed up the web address for where she could find her homework for her classes and pulled up her most recent assignment. She may lack focus in the class room but she was a studious person and aced the majority of her exams. She gathered scratch paper and started to jot notes and examples of equations for her math homework.
However, her mind was elsewhere. As she tried to study she could only picture Ty and his muffled expression towards her. She clenched her pencil tightly in her hand as anger started to fill her body and soon snapped her pencil in half.
"Damn it," she muttered to herself and grabbed another pencil from her bag and went back to work.
It took her a while to finish all her problems but when she did she sighed in relief. The work had taken her mind off Ty. She then went online and decided to check her e-mail.
"Junk, junk, junk," she muttered to herself as she went down the list. "What's this? This isn't your usual junk mail…" she said as she eyed a message from Seraphi at a site called dgworld dot net. Struck with curiosity she clicked the opened the e-mail to see a blue hyperlink to the dgworld website. She clicked the link and was surrounded by a white light.
When Lana regained her vision she was in a lush tropical jungle. She looked around at the vast variety of plants. She stood up and dusted her pants off.
"Something tells me I'm not in Kansas anymore," she said, uttering the first thing that came to her mind.
"Kansas? What's that?" a voice from behind said. Lana quickly turned around to see a little… thing in a kendo suit standing behind her.
"What are you?" Lana asked.
"I'm Kotemon and I'm your digimon," he said and smiled, though you could only tell he was by his eyes.
"Digimon?"
"Short for digital monster."
"So I'm," Lana started.
"that's righter, your in a parallel cybernetic world."
"I gotta lay off the pot," Lana said as she placed her hand on her forehead.
"Now come quickly," Kotemon said as he waddled up to Lana, "for some reason you were summoned earlier then the others."
"Other's?" Lana asked with a surprised tone of voice.
"Yes others. Three of you to be precise. You were chosen by Lord Seraphimon to stop a great evil from taking over our world."
"So what am I suppose to do until the others arrive?"
"Survive," Kotemon said simply.
