"Class!" Mrs. Hertz called. "We have a new student joining us today! Why don't you come in and introduce yourself, dear?"

It was the next morning. Jeremie and Aelita had gotten back last night. They had found something interesting in Franz Hopper's diary that they thought the team needed to see. They, along with Odd and Ulrich, were in Science at the moment. They all decided to go to the factory after Lunch. The new student walked in. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a dark blue shirt with a gray vest over it and a black skirt.

"Hi everyone. I'm Laura Gauthier. I really like quantum physics and I hope to enjoy my time here at Kadic." She said.

Odd turned to Aelita.

"She's smart and cute. Well, Aelita. Looks like you have some competition in the Mrs. Einstein department." Odd said to her.

"Don't be ridiculous, Odd. There can only be one Mrs. Einstein and that's moi." Aelita said.

Laura went to her seat, which happened to be nearby.

"So, you're Jeremie Belpois. It's nice to meet you, Jeremie." She said as she shook Jeremie's hand. "And you're Aelita Stones. It's nice to meet you too." Laura said as she shook Aelita's hand.

Aelita smiled.

"It's very nice to meet you, Laura." She said as she shook Laura's hand.

Laura nodded and sat in her seat. Class soon began. Jeremie was a little bit surprised to see that Laura was just as smart as he was, if not a little bit smarter. Not that he would want to admit it. Science class soon ended and Jeremie and the others headed over to the cafeteria. They got their lunch and sat at their table. Xana, Yumi, and William arrived soon after.

"Well, look who's back. How'd it go, Jeremie?" Yumi asked.

"It went well. We found something in Franz Hopper's diary that might help us solve the mystery of whoever sent those missiles our way." Jeremie said. "Would you like to join us on a trip to the factory?"

"Sure thing, Jeremie." Yumi answered.

"What's this I hear about a factory?" asked a voice.

They all looked up to see Laura standing there.

"Surely, you don't mean the old Renault factory, do you? I don't why anyone would want to go there. But, then again, it's none of my business. Bye, everyone." Laura said as she walked off.

"Who was that?" Xana asked.

"That's Laura, a new student here. Believe it or not, she's just as smart as Einstein here." Odd said.

Jeremie gave a slight glare at Odd as he said that.

"Someone just as smart as Jeremie? Impossible." Xana said.

"Anyway," Aelita said, "let's go to the factory. You won't believe what we found in my father's diary."

The gang finished eating and left for the factory. Laura saw them leave. Still curious as to why they would go to the factory, she decided to follow them.
