Code: Newbie Chapter 9

Yes yes I know cue list of excuses! But anyway I'm back and going to be writing more until I have finished the story which I am almost done with it. Anyway… here we go! This took me awhile because I typed this with fake nails. : /

Chapter 9: Trusting Issues

Katie's POV:

I didn't trust Conner at ALL. And I guess it was VERY evident because the others kept telling me "give him a chance." And "he's a nice boy" and I would agree he is a good kid but he just seemed like William when he was first on the team according to Yumi. One of the main reasons I didn't trust him was because he kept flirting with me and I HATE that! *ring-ring* my phone goes off Uhh what know?! "Hello? WHAT?! You're joking right? Ummm… be right down."

Normal POV:

Katie walked slowly into Jeremie's room only to find that everyone else was there. "Katie! Why don't you take a seat." An overly excited Aelita said. Katie took a chair and sat down in it. Jeremie started to talk, "Katie we need to tell you some bad news and some worse news, the bad news: XANA has gotten stronger, and the worse news: we need someone to join us." Jeremie said. 'oh, god please no…' Katie thought. "We have agreed to have Conner join the group- "NO! NO! NO!" Katie screamed and ran out of the room as fast as she could. "I'll go talk to her." Yumi said.

Yumi's POV:

I ran down to the factory and looked up in the rafters. Sure enough, Katie was there laying staring at the roof. I climbed up to her level and sat of the rafter. "Hey… what's the matter Katie?" I asked. "nothing…" she said in a monotone voice. "Is this about Conner?" I asked. "Yes! He is a total creep." She exclaimed. "well we need your commitment before we ask Conner to join." I told her. "Can you give me some time before I tell you my answer…?" She asked. "ok come back to Jeremie's room when you are ready.

Back in Jeremie's room, Normal POV:

Yumi came panting when she entered his room, "Well?" Ulrich asked. "She asked for a couple of hours to think about it." Yumi answered. "I need to go do something." Yumi told the gang before she left.

Conner's POV:

I was waiting for Yumi next to the vending machine. I saw her running toward me and was panting when she got to me she was trying to explain quickly, "ok Katie gave me some sort of answer she said 'she needed some time to think about it' is that ok?" Yumi asked. "that's fine. But she will say yes. You know that right?" I ask. "Yes, I know." Yumi answered. I sighed and looked off into the sky as Yumi walked away. Why Katie? Why do you need to take SO long for these kind of things. You know I like you. Can't you see that by know? I suddenly snapped back to reality when someone was waving their hand infront of my face. It was Katie, and she was starring at me. "Hey umm Conner I was wondering, umm, we have some kind of group and we fight things everyday and I was wondering, uhh," "If I would like to join." I finished. She nodded slowly. "you know we take this seariously, and you can't act like a child you know right?" she asked. I nodded quickly. She inched forward a little, and before I knew it her lips were on mine. But as soon as that started, it was over and she was backed away and blushing madly. "Umm…" she mumbled before sprinting away as fast as she could. "Katie! WAIT!" I yelled. But it was too late she was already out of ear shot.

In the shadows:

A XANA possessed Odd laughed to himself and said, "So warriors that's your plan huh? Well I would be waiting, gang, I will be waiting."

YAY! Another chapter DONE! R&R! and now I am going to think of the next chapter! So… stay tuned!
