Chapter 2: His Arrival
Odd woke up slowly. It was Saturday, no need to rush. Jeremy was gone, he noted, probably sulking. That fight last night sure was strange. Odd thought. Jeremy and Aelita never fight. Oh well, I guess there's a first for everything. Odd walked over to Jeremy's computer. Next to it on a notepad were the instructions on how to contact Aelita in Lyoko. Odd was never good with computers, but this was simple enough. He typed in everything, and Aelita appeared.
"What?" she snapped.
"Huh?"
"Oh, it's you Odd. I'm sorry, I thought you were..."
"Jeremy, yeah, I know," Odd said quickly. Aelita looked a little embarrassed. "Anyway, so have you heard the news?"
"You mean about Slyzer?"
"Yeah, Ulrich's pal."
"Yes, and I don't think it's all bad. He can help us."
"But we don't even know him, how can we trust him? For all we know he's told everyone and the American military is on the way! But that's not the point." Aelita thought this was a bit deep for Odd. "Are you listening to me?"
"Yes Odd, I'm sorry, continue," she replied.
"The point is Ulrich betrayed us! We swore we'd never tell anybody at all! And he betrayed us!" Odd said it again for emphasis.
"He betrayed us!" Yumi said it again for emphasis. She was talking to Jeremy by the school gate. She was a little teared up about the whole ordeal.
"Uh.. hi guys," Ulrich said, coming up behind them.
"Oh hi Ulrich," Jeremy said rather rudely.
"Listen, sorry about..."
"Yeah whatever."
"Glad you accept my apology guys!" Ulrich said very sarcastically. Odd ran up behind the gang. "Am I late, what'd I miss?" he asked. They were all here to meet Slyzer.
"Here he is now," Ulrich said. They all put anger out of their minds. A 13 year old blonde haired boy walked through the gates, followed by his parents. He was carrying a couple of suitcases. The headmaster spoke with him and his parents, and then Slyzer said his goodbyes. The headmaster spoke again just to Slyzer, and gave him some papers, and his keys to his room.
Ulrich walked over to the boy, after the headmaster had returned to the school.
"Good to finally meet you Slyzer," he said. Slyzer was wearing jean shorts and a light blue t-shirt, which cover a necklace of some sort. His tennis shoes were laced tight, and his suitcases were falling to the ground as he dropped them, arms exhausted from holding the heavy things for half an hour listening to the headmaster.
"Hmmm... I don't believe we've met," Slyzer said. For a second Ulrich believed him, then they both laughed. "Good to meet you too Ulrich.
"So how do you like it here?" Ulrich asked his friend.
"It's alright."
"You live close to the school, right?" Ulrich sounded confused.
"Yeah, 20 minutes..so?"
"The suitcases."
"Oh right. Well, 20 minutes makes a big difference early in the morning." He smiled at Yumi while saying this. She blushed. "So I figured, why not board at a boarding school?"
"Makes sense," Yumi said stepping up. Slyzer held up a picture of her that Ulrich had sent him. It said 'Yumi' on it.
"You must be Yumi. I've heard sooo much about you," he said jabbing Ulrich lightly in the side. Ulrich grinned sheepishly. "Heh..." Yumi blushed a bit.
"You're the one with the picture in your hand." Ulrich said, somewhat pleased with himself.
"I-I was just looking at it. No not like that!" Yumi looked very embarrassed. "I'm sorry," he said, stuffing the picture in his pocket. The words were directed at Yumi.
"It's ok," she said. "So do you like the school?"
"So far. Well, as much as one can like school," he added. Odd smiled, mentally agreeing. Yumi smiled as well.
Slyzer was introduced to Odd and Jeremy, then with much tension and anger clawing at Yumi, Jeremy, and Ulrich.......Aelita.
"It was nice to meet you Slyzer. I hope to see you in Lyoko soon," Aelita said.
"Yeah, you too." Slyzer had kinda picked up on that fact that everyone was not too happy about his knowledge of Lyoko.
"Well, we'll show you around," Yumi said.
"Yeah, yeah, I think I'll stay here," Odd said. "Don't forget to try the hot chocolate." Jeremy smirked.
"I'm gonna do some stuff," Jeremy said and walked out of the room. That was strange... Ulrich thought.
Yumi and Ulrich, although still angry with each other, showed Slyzer around the school. "And that's the light next to Mrs. Hertz's room," Ulrich said pretending to be in awe.
"Wowww..."
Of course no one seemed to notice that the bulb was bearing the Lyoko symbol......
