Chapter 3: A New Step

An annoying noise was ringing loudly in the distance but my mind tried to push it out. I opened my eyes grumpily to see Aelita looking sleepy and turning off her alarm clock. Oh that's right; she has classes today in the morning. I silently groaned and pushed myself upright.

"Good Morning Terri." Aelita said.

"You too..." I said misty. I'm used to waking up at 9am not 7. Ugh.

We got up, got dressed and basically everything you would think we do in the morning. But Aelita had to go to classes for 4 periods. I was going to sit here and get myself settled. Oddly, Aelita seemed to eying me all morning. It almost looked like she was searching me. Whatever, I'm new, I'm used to it.

I pulled out my laptop, it's sleek shiny glare reflected the sunlight as I opened it. I wondered if I should e-mail my mom and tell her that I got here safely. I decided not too until I got my clothes that she sending me. Next I got up and put all my clothes into the little draws they gave on our beds with served as dressers I guess and before long I was done and checked the time- 8:02am, ugh. And Aelita won't be back until 12:30. This was wonderful.

(Gang's POV)

"I'm telling you guys she feels right to me somehow!" Yumi exclaimed.

The gang was at gym, the only class that they all have together, and were jogging around the school's track.

"Yumi you met her yesterday for merely hours, how can you judge her that fast? You need more than skills than fighting to be a Lyoko Warrior." Jeremy shot back.

"Yes, you need the skill to sit at your computer chair all day and type stuff!" Odd said sarcastically. Jeremy winced.

"Odd, shut up, Jeremy has a very important part to our team!" Ulrich said, annoyed.

"Yumi, I get your point but we don't know if she could keep a secret or go crazy with power like...William." Aelita said quietly. Yumi only held her gaze.

"She's a good candidate though, much better than Sissi." Jeremy teased, the gang managed to smile.

"Did you really expect to just recruit her right off the bat?" Ulrich asked between steps. Yumi stared into his eyes lovingly.

"Well...She just seems right for some reason, and we do need someone with Xana nowadays." Yumi sighed.

"Yumi, we can watch her and see if she can keep a secret." Aelita suggested.

"I guess you're right." Yumi added.

An annoying voice broke their thoughts, "Stop talking you guys and get a move on!" Jim cried over by the finishing line of the track. The gang sighed and ran faster.

(Terri POV)

I was eating lunch with the gang again. I expected them to kick me out of the table when I sat down but they only smiled at me. Wow, weird.

"So Terri, you're gonna start your classes on Monday right?" Odd asked. He was looking straight into my eyes.

"Um...yeah." I said dumbly. I needed work as a people person.

We continued to eat until a boy with black hair walked by our table.

"Hello Jeremy, Aelita, Yumi, Ulrich and Odd. Who's your friend?" The group seemed to tense. For some reason this boy had an odd feeling to him. Like the one when I saw the group but it seemed different. A bit...unreal.

"Oh yes...uh...Terri this is uh...William." Yumi said. She seemed a bit uptight. I really don't know why.

"Hi Terri." William said to me.

"Hi." I replied politely.

"She has some of our classes." Yumi said to William.

"Oh really. Well then I guess I'll see you around." William said. He looked down at the tray of food he was carrying. He must be hungry.

"Kay, bye." I said with no emotion. And with that he walked away.

After the little run in with William we kept eating until Aelita spoke up.

"Hey Terri do you have a cell phone?" she asked.

"Uh...yeah." I felt my pocket to feel the little square shape.

"Can I get your number?" Odd piped up. I gave a blank embarrassed look.

"Yes because Odd wants your number..." Ulrich teased. I shuffled my figures under the table.

Aelita gave Odd a hard look. "Well in since we're all friends and you and I are roommates I thought it was be nice if we can call each other."

"Yeah that would be great." I immediately said. So we exchanged numbers. So here was my contact list- Aelita, Dad, Jeremy, Mom, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi. Pretty long huh?

Later that day after dinner I was lying on my bed. For some reason, Aelita, Jeremy, and everyone else have disappeared. I couldn't find them anywhere. I checked the dorms and no sign of them. They weren't here from 3pm. I was starting to get worried. Where could they have run off to? I decided to get up and take a walk. It would clear my mind.

As soon as I stepped on of the dorm I saw Sissi walking down the hall to her's. She snorted at me. I ignored that.

"Hey Sissi, have you seen Aelita, or Jeremy and them around?" I asked a nice as possible but couldn't help my foot from rubbing against the carpet in annoyance.

"Oh...the always disappear and you'll never find them." She snorted.

My ears pricked and a wave of suspicion and curiosity filled me and made me want to run outside and start to play detective. I held myself back.

"Kay, thanks for the info." I said...eyes twinkling.

"Yeah whatever..." Sissi said snorted, and then walked away.

I walked back into my room and flopped back down on my bed. Wow my walk was short lived. I turned on my I-Pod and let the sound drown out the world, but not my thoughts.

Maybe around an hour later Aelita opened the door quietly. I couldn't help myself flinging my head up and staring at her. I took out the ear phones.

"Hey, where were you. I was looking everywhere?" I asked anticipating an answer.

Aelita stood there for seconds and said nothing, then closed the door.

"Sorry Terri, we were at the mall...shopping for William's birthday present!" she exclaimed.

My eyes kept a blank stare on her." Right...like you went to the mall for 4 hours to get a present for someone and couldn't tell me.

"I forgot to tell you...I'm sorry." Her eyes softened.

"Alright." I guess it was possible.

"Why did you think we went off to some place in another world?" he eyes looking mysterious but also longing for an answer.

"That probably would have been more fun than going to the mall...I only wish." I joked to her. I smiled.

"Why would you help me save the world from an upcoming doom?" she asked. But when she said this I excepted her to say it in a mock tone, but she looked serious.

"Of coarse..." I answered...trying to read her expression. At last she smiled at me. "Alright good."

Turns out this school can be just as boring as my old school also. I teachers are nice but I'm not the type of kid who listens to everything they say. I daydream a lot. Although not to brag but I'm smart just on my own. I pick up things quickly. And it's nice to have Yumi in almost all of my classes. She and I are basically on the same level. We still talk during class, but we do our work. By the end of the first three days of school I felt more at home than I have from the past months.

(Gang's POV)

"Well Yumi I think you were right..." Jeremy noted to Yumi. "I think she's perfect for the job."

"I agree." Aelita said. She's just that type of person.

"So are we going to show her now?" Ulrich asked.

"I don't see why not." Jeremy nodded.

"It's a bit soon though...but if you guys want to I'm up for it." Yumi narrowed her eyes at Terri who was by the soda machines trying to put coins in.

"So gang, final chance...should we?" Odd asked. Everyone murmured "yes" and then they walked over to Terri.

"Hey guys." She smiled and reached down to grab her iced tea with made a "hunk" as it hit the soda machine's bottom.

"Terri...there's something we need to tell you." Yumi started. And this is where it begins.

Alright sorry it skips around so much. And very choppy I know. But I'm trying to get to the good parts so I actually get some more reviews and favorites. So please do that?
