First Day
Nova's P.O.V.
Finally my first day of classes here at Kadic Academy. I've only been here a week and it's already been very eventful. I've met people who should be my teachers, turn on a supercomputer where an evil virus bent on taking over the world resides, then I send everyone back in time about 19 years.
Oh and did I mention this evil virus known as Xana tried to make me it's queen and destroy the Lyoko Warriors. It's a good thing they are used to fighting this virus because they knew how to snap some sense back into me. Even though I decided to join Xana, so I could have a life where I didn't have to worry about people telling me what to do, they still made it their number one goal to save me. And that I'm truly thankful for.
Now today after classes they are officially going to initiate me into a Lyoko Warrior. For once in my life I'm actually excited to be apart of a group. I'm not usually good with hanging around with kids but I guess I'll give it a try.
I entered my home room class and saw Odd sitting by himself. He waved his hand. "Nova, over here." he said motioning me to sit next to him. So I walked over to him.
"I didn't know you were in the same grade as me." I said to him still surprised that they decided to be students again. I mean if I was in their shoes I would try to stay away from being a student.
"Yeah. 9th grade sucks." he replied to me giving me a goofy smile again.
The teacher entered the room as the bell rang making all the kids in my class silent. I leaned over to Odd and whispered. "Who's that?"
He whispered back to me. "That's Ms. Hertz." Odd then turned to the front of the room. "Hey, Ms. Hertz." he said and the only thing I could do was look down and shake my head.
She looked at Odd deviously and I knew this was going to be a long year. "Odd, I have to put up with you again." she proclaimed in disbelief.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next I had science with Aelita and Jeremy. Boy was that a nightmare. I watched as the two fought over who was going to answer the questions we were asked. Then we were asked what we already knew about why we needed to know science. That was really creepy. They gave answers so outrageously right that it made everyone in the class plus the teacher look in shock at what they said. I can tell I'm really going to hate them. I just hope their son isn't as smart as them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that was history class. This time I had Ulrich in my class. He's probably the most quiet of the group. He sat holding his head up with his hand. It looked like something was bothering him. So I decided to ask. "What's wrong?"
"Huh." he said as I brought him out of his thinking state.
"What's wrong?" I whispered repeating what I said.
"Can you keep a secret?" he asked in reply.
"Sure." I told him. I didn't talk to anybody so I knew I could.
"It's Yumi." he whispered. "I liked her when we originally went to school. I had a huge crush on her."
"And what happened?" I asked wanting to know the big deal was since I never had a crush on anyone.
"Well, first she went out with Bill. I wasn't too happy about it. Then they broke up and I finally got my chance. After we went out for a few years we had an argument and we broke up for good." he explained to me.
"And now that you have a second chance you don't know if you should go for it or not." I replied.
"Yeah." he nodded.
"Well she is my cousin. Maybe I can talk to her." I told him hoping I could go to meet my Aunt and Uncle at Yumi's house later.
"She's your cousin." Ulrich whispered. I nodded. "That's great. Thank you, Nova." he said with a smile.
End P.O.V.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nova met Odd, Ulrich, Jeremy and Aelita at the cafeteria entrance where they walked in together. Odd pushed through everyone so he could get his lunch first.
Nova turned to everyone else. "What was that about?" she asked wondering why Odd was so excited he pushed everyone out of his way.
"He likes to eat." Ulrich responded.
"Oh." she replied.
After everybody got their lunch they sat at their usual table with Nova sitting with them.
"So Nova are you ready for your initiation tonight?" asked Jeremy staring at her.
"Yes I am. I'm excited." Nova replied with excitement.
"Now remember you can't tell anyone." Aelita added excited because they were getting a new member.
Moments later they were joined by Yumi, William and Bill.
"Hey, guys." Yumi said sitting down next to Nova.
"Hey." everyone said in unison.
Nova looked at Bill. "Hey, Billy." she said smirking knowing that it would anger him.
"Hey, Witch." Bill replied with an angered look.
"What did you call me?" asked Nova angered.
"I called you, Witch." Bill responded.
"Argh!" the blonde girl growled in anger.
"Both of you stop arguing." Jeremy said trying to calm the mood down.
"Save your anger for Xana." Aelita added.
Bill turned away from everyone and crossed his arms. "I'll stop if she does."
"Fine, I'll stop Billy." Nova proclaimed with a smile.
"That's it. I'm going to…" Bill was cut off by Odd.
"Look at the love in the air." Odd blurted out causing Nova and Bill to look at him.
"I could never love… wait a minute. Stop copying me." Nova and Bill said in unison.
"Ah, look. They even talk at the same time." said Aelita making everyone except Bill and Nova laugh.
"That's not even funny, mom." Bill said causing everyone to laugh harder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After lunch all the 9th graders had to go to Gym class.
"Alright 9th graders. We're kicking off this years gym class with a good old fashion race around the track." Jim explained as everyone stood in a line.
"Does this guy always sound like a doofus?" Nova asked whispering to Odd.
"Yeah, but sometimes he's even dumber." Odd replied laughing.
"Della Robbia!" Jim yelled after he heard Odd's comment.
"Yes, Jim." Odd answered smiling.
"Your first." Jim announced. "Your going to race Nova, um, What's your last name?" Jim asked.
"It's Nova Ishiyama." I'm Yumi's cousin." Nova replied with a smile on her face.
"Your Yumi's cousin!" the Lyoko gang except Ulrich said in unison.
"Yes, I am." Nova answered.
"Alright. Nova and Della Robbia. Get ready." Jim ordered as Odd and Nova got on the track." Ready. Set. Go!" Jim said as Odd and Nova took off.
Odd had the lead against Nova. Odd turned his head back to see where she was. "Ha. Ha." he laughed. "I'm winning." the next thing Odd knew he was face first in the ground after he tripped over his feet.
"Ha. Ha, Odd." Nova laughed as she took the lead and crossed the finish line.
"Look at that Della Robbia. Not only did you get beat by a girl but she set a new record with under two minutes." Jim announced to the class.
"Odd got beat by a girl." laughed Ulrich as Odd walked up to him angry.
"That's not even funny. I tripped." Odd said as the entire class laughed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was finally time for Nova's final class of the day. Pencak Silat with Yumi, Ulrich and Bill.
"I'm glad that Mr. Delmas is letting us teach the class ourselves. Jim was just slowing us down." Yumi said as Bill and Ulrich nodded.
Nova stood there not knowing what to do. She was wearing a white tee shirt as usual with black sweat pants. "I've never learned this before so what's first?" she asked clueless.
"Why don't you and Bill show her Ulrich?" Yumi said with a grin on her face.
Ulrich shook his head. "I don't think so. You know what happened last time when we sparred."
"Come on, Ulrich. I'll go easy on you." Bill promised.
"Fine." Ulrich agreed as him and Bill got in fighting stances.
"Let's go." Bill said as Ulrich attacked him with a kick. Bill caught it and tripped Ulrich with a kick making him land on his shoulder. "Here Ulrich. Let me help you." he said sticking his hand out.
"So you see Nova. The premise of Pencak Silat is so you can us it to protect yourself if you get in a fight." Yumi explained. "Who do you want to learn from?" she asked.
Nova thought for a few seconds. "Um. I want my buddy, Billy to teach me." she replied.
"Rrrgh!" Bill growled. "It's Bill. I hate when people add the "y"."
Yumi turned to Bill. "Take it easy on her. After all she is my cousin." Yumi pleaded.
"Ok." he replied. "Come on, Nova. We're taking this outside."
Nova's P.O.V.
We went outside for my lessons I guess you could call it. I have never learned any defensive maneuvers before. So when I picked my classes I guess you could say that Pencak Silat caught my eye and I decided to try it.
I bet your wondering why I picked Bill to teach me. Well I decided it would give Ulrich time to talk to Yumi. I figured I'd be nice and then can anger Bill more.
"So what's first?" I asked once we got to where we were going to practice.
"First try kicking." he told me.
"Ok. Like this. Haya!" I kicked my foot up and ended up fall ing on my butt.
"Ha ha ha ha." Bill laughed after I landed on the ground.
"That's not funny." I said to him embarrassed.
"Yes, it was. I wish I had a camera." he said which mad me even angrier.
"I hate you." I said getting back up.
"Like I haven't figured that out yet." he responded to me.
I smirked. "Ok. Let me try that again." I tried it again. I lifted my foot up only this time I didn't fall and brought my leg down again.
"That was good. Now attack me with a kick." he commanded me.
"Take this." I said kicking him but he caught my foot like he did with Ulrich
"Too slow." he said laughing.
"Little did he know I had a back up plan. I took my free leg and tripped him onto his back. "You didn't see that coming did. I said as I went to see if he was alright.
He kicked up hitting me in the gut knocking the wind out of me. I couldn't move for a moment.
"Nova, are you ok?" I heard him ask.
"I don't know. I said scared I was seriously hurt.
He ran over and looked at me. "What hurts?" he asked in a concerned voice.
"I can't move right now. Help me up." I said almost crying.
He helped me up and put my arm around him to hold me up. We went back to the gym where Ulrich and Yumi were.
"What happened?" I heard Yumi aske once she saw me.
"I kind of accidentally kicked her in the gut and knocked the wind out of her." Bill explained to them while looking at me.
"Are you ok?" Ulrich asked me.
"Yeah, I'll be ok." I was able to move now so I let go of Bill.
"I'm really sorry about this." Bill apologized. "I have to go. See you later." and then he left.
I almost felt bad. I know he didn't mean it and I'm not mad at him for it. He's the most unusual one of their group or maybe I should say our group.
"Are you ok, Nova? We could take you to the Infirmary." Yumi asked me.
"I'm fine now. Really." I assured. I hope they aren't always going to be concerned about me.
"Let's call it a day." Ulrich announced going to the boy's locker room.
"Come on, Nova. Let's get you cleaned up. You have a big night ahead of you." Yumi said to me as we walked to the girl's locker room.
End P.O.V.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night everyone except Bill was at the factory. Jeremy was in the Computer Lab and down in the Scanner room was Odd, Ulrich, Aelita, Yumi, William and Nova.
"Where's Bill at?" Nova asked looking around not seeing him.
"I think he's still upset about hurting you earlier." Ulrich replied.
"I guess I should talk to him after we get back." the blonde girl responded looking a little sad.
"Ok, Nova. Can you hear me?" asked Jeremy over the intercom.
"Yes, Jeremy." she answered.
"Step in the scanner. I'm going to scan you to create a virtual image of you on Lyoko and so your not affected by return trips." Jeremy explained.
"You mean I won't look like what I did before." Nova complained.
"I'm not sure." Jeremy revealed since he didn't know.
"Well just in case. Think of something you like." Odd boasted with a smile.
"Will do." Nova said getting in the scanner.
"Ready?" asked Jeremy.
"Yeah." Nova replied as the scanner closed.
"Scanner, Nova." Jeremy said as a virtual image of her appeared on the computer screen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the dorms Bill was in his room lying in bed. "I can't believe I did that to her. Now Nova probably hates me even more." Bill whined out loud to himself.
Unknown to him his computer screen had a weird cryptic symbol on it.
A/N: Another chapter completed. Nova is officially a Lyoko Warrior however how will she do when she has her first official trip to Lyoko? And what does the weird cryptic symbol on Bill's computer mean? I know what it is but you'll have to wait until next weekend to find out.
