Chapter 4- Piero gets introduced

"It was really rainy out, we had been fighting. My mother was so upset she had cried. They told me they had to go and buy food for the rest of the week. But they never came back. I had fallen asleep mad. The next day they called our house. My parent's break hadn't worked and on the turn the car had slipped of the road or so they told me. I cried so hard for three hours straight. I never got to say how sorry I was."
"I don't know what to say to you, Shyla," said Odd more upset than before.
"You can't say anything to me. But I think you should head for class right now. You're late."
"Oh, right."
As he went out she began to cry. She didn't say the most important part of the tragedy. The reason the breaks hadn't worked was because some one had cut them. She only found out who it had been 2 months after the accident, she could do nothing by then.

Suichi stared around yet once again at where to sit for dinner, he had to do this everyday since he had gotten there. There was really no point in doing it; he always ended up in a corner table by himself. But today was different; it was the first day Shyla didn't have to go "home".
He saw her sitting with Ulrich and Jeremy. Two of them were missing. 'I really need to get rid of them and Aelita', he thought to himself as he headed their way.
"Hi there. Think I can sit with you guys?" he asked as he gave Shyla a smile and a stare.
"Sure go ahead," answered Ulrich.
"Where are your other two friends?" he asked interested
"Well Yumi lives with her parents and Odd went...on a date," answered Ulrich looking worriedly at Shyla when he said his last comment.
"Oh."
"Well I need to go finish my school work. Detention was too boring and I fell asleep," said Shyla standing up with her tray.
"I'll walk you to your room," said Suichi standing up quickly.
"That's ok, I can do it on my own," said Shyla with an angry face.
"Well I still want to do it."
"But I don't need you too."
She noticed that Ulrich and Jeremy were staring and she decided not to make more of a scene than she already had. "Fine," she said walking away with him. He smiled knowing he had won.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You want to know what I found out about the nerd?"
"No."
"He is trying to find a cure for Aelita. I really can't allow that."
"Once he does they'll disconnect Lyoko and you'll be dead. I hope he succeeds," said Shyla as she sat in the chair in front of her duvet.
"Oh yes and wouldn't you love that. I trusted you with my life when I went in, but I came out infected with a virus!" exclaimed Suichi as he pulled the covers of her bed over him, smiling all the while. He had just given a 20,000-dollar diamond necklace and she was very happy with him, for once. But that's how she was. Anyone could make her happy with material things.
"What can I say? You pissed me off," she said as she climbed in with him.
He put his hand on over her figure. "We need to go over the blue prints for the Pawn right now."
"I'm tired and Valerie will be coming back soon. Leave."
"I really don't feel like it," he said as he tried to move his hand down her pants.
"Well you better," she said and elbowed him near his groin in response. "NOW!"
"Fine," he said and got of her bed with pain in his lower stomach. "But only because I have to go work on a nice plan for the robbery."
"I told you, I wasn't helping you break in."
"Piero is in, why can't you be? We need a computer- smart girl to break the into the alarm system," he told her as he winked.
"No!!!!"
"Then... hey you know what? I have this cool button that will kill one of those son of bitches IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT I SAY!!!!!!!!!"
Shyla jumped when he screamed at her. Just as she was about to say something the door opened and Valerie stepped in.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know you were talking," she said as she put her bag down. Valerie was lying of course she had heard the screaming all the way down the hall, but she feared for Shyla.
"If you're sorry then why aren't you leaving?" he said pissed off.
"It's her room too," answered Shyla as she pushed him out the door and closed it behind her.
"I am so sorry about him," she apologized to Valerie.
Suichi left quickly for his room. 'Now you are in Shyla,' he thought to himself as he walked away with is hands in his pockets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Who was your date last night?" Shyla questioned Odd while they drank some soda.
"Um... Sam. Who told you I was out?"
"Ulrich did. I'm glad you found someone else," she said as she played with her can.
"Yeah, right back at you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ok. I have broken into the alarm system. You have less than ten minutes to work," said Shyla into the microphone in front of her mouth.
"Which way now?" asked Suichi, as he looked left and right not knowing which side to turn.
"Right."
They moved quickly into the dark room that held the wonderful possessions they desired.
"Don't forget to get the tape," she said.
"Oh I won't," said Suichi.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Did you hear? There was a robbery last night at the Pawn!" commented Melanie as she tried to plat a purple flower into the dark ground.
"I heard, actually," said Shyla looking at her.
"It's awful. My mother had things there since she got a loan for the new car..."
"I feel sorry for you guys," Shyla said it without meaning it and it was obvious, "she must feel awful."
"Yes. Hey look," said Melanie excitedly pointing at a boy who was with Suichi, "who is that with Suichi?"
"I don't know. Are you almost finished? I want to go see."
"Uh-huh. Go and then come to tell me who it is!"
Shyla got up and walked over to where Suichi and the stranger sat. "Suichi who is he?"
"Shyla, Piero. Piero, Shyla."
"This is him?"
"Yes or I wouldn't have just introduced him with the name," he exclaimed, laughing all the while.
"You don't have to be such a smart ass about it!" she said pissed off.
Piero had dark blonde hair, in bangs that covered his eyes, but left enough for him to see and not bump against things. His eyes were sky blue, lips full and good enough to eat. He had the look a model should have. He was probably 2 years older than Shyla. He wore baggy khaki pants with a green shirt advertising a camp, and a blazer over it. 'He has to be a model with his looks,' thought Shyla.
"Nice to meet you," she said, extending her hand.
"Yeah," he answered in a husky voice, but never moving. Shyla pulled back her hand angry at how rude it had been on his half not to shake it.
Cici, Herb, and Nicholas approached them, Shyla never saw them coming. Piero got up and hugged as if they were a couple.
"What a wonderful time I had last night," he said as he walked away tracing her hips with his hand. As he passed Cici he winked at her and smiled. And all the while Suichi had the biggest grin on his face.
"It's not funny, Suichi," said Shyla and walked away.
"Oh but it is little one, it is"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Here is your share of the loot," said Suichi handing Shyla a bunch of gold jewels in a big, white bag.
"I don't want anything stolen!"
"You took the diamond necklace."
"You told me you bought that!! HERE thought take it back," she screamed as she took of the necklace she wore under her clothes, and threw it at him. She got up and ran for her room. Truth was she knew it was stolen which was the reason she wore it under her clothes.
"Goddamn why is she so fucking stubborn?" said Suichi annoyed still holding the bag.
