Review reply:
renayumi- thanks for the review
Strange fact: for those of you who would like a better idea of what Cyndi looks like, I would like to state that I saw a charter who looked exactly the way I pictured Cyndi would her outfit even looked like something Cyndi would wear: The charter I'm talking about is Sherrie from Zatch bell. Except for the fact that Cyndi's hair is not the same color as Sherrie's that is pretty much what Cyndi would look like
Chapter note: this chapter contains the details of Cyndi's past which I warn you is sad, so don't say I did not warn you.
A code Lyoko novel
Chapter 43- the tale of Cyndi's past
Place: classroom 226
"come here I need to talk you" the teacher said to a lady with blue eyes and long blue hair, she was currently wearing a long pink dress and she was leaving the classroom at the time
"what do you want?" Cyndi asked
"Cyndi I have had enough of you acting like a five year old. I can't have students crying at random times for no reason it needs to stop" the teacher demanded
"It's not no reason at all, if you knew me well enough you would understand" Cyndi told him
"well I don't so why don't you tell me then?" the teacher asked
"I don't like talking about it" Cyndi said sadly
"in other words you don't have a reason. I know your kind you're just a big crybaby, try acting your age for once" the teacher told her
"I do have a reason" Cyndi said through her tears
"I've had enough of your lies get out of my classroom" he said before opening a book
Sandra then slammed her fist on the teacher's desk and said "how dare you talk to her that way, who do you think you are. She does not need to answer to you if she does not want to" she then turned to Cyndi and said "let's get out of here"
After they left the classroom Sandra asked "are you OK?"
"yes I'm just trying to forget some bad memories" Cyndi replied
"that does not work, they just come back" Sandra replied
"really?" Cyndi asked
"let's put it this way how old are these bad memories?" Sandra asked
after thinking for awhile Cyndi said "about sixteen and one half years"
"trust me you will feel better if you talk to someone about it" Sandra told her
"I'll think about it" Cyndi replied
Place: auditorium
Sissi entered the auditorium. The lights were very dim and there was a spotlight shining on the pop rock progressive's interments which were set up on stage, but there was no one there
"who called me here?" Sissi asked
"I did" a voice said, the voice came from the speakers and echoed through the empty room
"where and who are you?" Sissi asked looking around
"my name is Amy and I entering stage right" she said entering the spotlight. She was wearing a purple shirt and a light blue skirt
"what do you want?" Sissi asked
"I want to sing you a song" Amy replied
"then why is it so dark?" Sissi asked
"that was Odd's idea, Jeremie can you turn the lights on?" Amy said
Sissi then took a seat in the 5th row and asked "so what are you going to sing for me?"
"well with the help of the pop rock progressives I will be singing a song warning you about what might be if you don't stop being so rude to people" Amy explained as the band got ready
The music started and Amy soon started to sing
"She's miserable
Why make everyone miserable too?
Oh, can't she see?
What she's putting innocent people through
Miss popular
Everything she does is wrong
and everywhere she goes
They'll be looking
and everywhere she turns
They'll be whispering
Oh, miss popular
What is happening?
She could have used
Her title for a good case
But instead she spits in everybody's face
Miss popular
Everything she does is wrong
and everywhere she goes
They'll be looking
and everywhere she turns
They'll be whispering
poor, miss popular
it is happening
Oh, so now you know how it feels to be insignificant
Oh, so now you know how it feels to be all alone
Oh, when the lights go off you can still dream of yourself
How hot you were
Miss popular
Everybody hates you
Poor Miss popular
I don't feel a bit sorry for you
One, two, three, four
Oh, so now you know how it feels to be insignificant
Oh, so now you know how it feels to be all alone
Oh, when the lights go off you can still dream of yourself
How hot you were
Miss popular
Now she knows
There she goes
And everywhere she goes they are looking
And everywhere she turns they are whispering
They are looking at you"
(Song ends)
"have a nice day and thanks for coming" Amy told Sissi
"whatever" Sissi said before heading for the exit
"thank about it" Amy told Sissi as she left
then Amy's phone started ringing she quickly answered it and said "this is Amy speaking" after about a minute she said "I see we'll be waiting for you"
Amy then ended the call and put her phone back in her purse
"what was that about?" Odd asked
"something from Cyndi's past is bugging her again and Sandra wants her to talk about it however she said the only way she would is if I was there" Amy explained
"can I come?" Odd asked
"you can come if you want to just remember we are trying to help her so if you do come be nice" Amy explained
"I guess I can try to help as well" Jeremie said
"count me in" Yumi commented
"thank you so much for agreeing to help me help me friend, Sandra will be here in 10 minutes to give us a ride" Amy told them, she then told Jim "thanks for helping us set this up Jimbo"
"no problem" Jim replied
"do you think Sissi will be nicer now?" Any asked
"we can only hope so" Odd replied
place: Cyndi / Sandra's room
time: 25 minutes later
"thank you so much for coming" Cyndi told Amy
"no problem, it's what friends do" Amy replied
"and the 3 of you whish to help me as well" Cyndi commented
"yes we do" Yumi stated
"so what's bothering you?" Sandra asked
"before I start I'm just letting you know that this is not easy for me so please no jokes or making fun of me" Cyndi said
"we would never do that" Amy commented
"well OK then it all started when I was seven. I had great parents my mom and dad were very nice and my sister Jennifer was the nicest sister someone could ask for. She was nice, she loved to tell me stories, and she even made me a doll for my 7th birthday" Cyndi told them
"sounds like you had a pretty good family" Sandra commented
"I did" Cyndi replied
"then what's bothering you?" Yumi asked
"I'll get to that" Cyndi replied
"please continue" Amy told her
"well anyways you probably already know I like to sing. So when I saw there was this singing contest on Christmas eve I singed up right away. I knew my relatives visit that time of year and I figured they would all be able to see me sing. The day started off great there was plenty of snow, everyone was able to come and I was having a great time" Cyndi said before she started crying
"what's the matter?" Odd asked
"I don't want to continue it's too sad" Cyndi replied
"it's not going to stop bugging you unless you tell someone what the problem is" Jeremie told her
"really?" Cyndi asked
"he's right, just relax and take your time" Sandra told her
after a few minutes Cyndi continued
"then it was time to go. I remember it like it was yesterday. How there were just enough seats in the van for all 15 of us, the happy expressions on every ones face, what my sister said before dad started the car"
"what did she say?" Amy asked
"she told me don't be too worried about winning just try your best. You have a great singing voice and we know it. No matter what happens in the contest you're a winner to me" Cyndi replied
"so did you win?" Odd asked
"I would have preferred finishing in last place compared to what happened next" Cyndi replied, she then said
"the location this contest took place at was someplace my dad was not familiar with and he got lost, once he finally stopped for directions we were running late and since my dad hates being late he started driving faster about the same time it started snowing again then while going down a hill it happened.
The light at the bottom of the hill turned red but we did not stop, that is when dad admitted the brakes needed to be fixed, the next thing I knew we were sliding towards a busy intersection I don't remember anything after that
The next thing I remember was waking up at the hospital. I immediacy demanded to see my sister but they kept telling me no. After sever hours someone told me the reason why I could not see them it was because out of the 15 members of my family in the van I as the only one was.." she said before she started crying again. She did not finish her sentence but the others knew what she meant
"that's so sad" Amy said trying her best not to cry
"and the worst part is it's all my fault" Cyndi said sadly
"how is it your fault?" Jeremie asked
"If I did not sing up for that contest, it never would have happened. I'm responsible for the death of 14 people. I never should have signed up. It's all my fault" Cyndi managed to say before she continued to cry
"Cyndi it was and accident, there was no way you could have seen something like this coming it's not your fault" Jeremie told her
"he's right it's not your fault there's no way you could have known" Amy told her
"you really mean it?" Cyndi asked
"have I ever lied to you?" Amy asked
"no" Cyndi replied
"then please stop blaming yourself for something that is not your fault" Amy told her
"would you like to hear what happened next?" Cyndi asked
"only if you want to tell us" Sandra replied
Cyndi then said "well after realizing my family was gone I asked them who was going to take care of me, that's when the lady who told me the bad news said she would. She said her name was Mindy and she was a doctor. Two days later she took me to her house and on the way there she gave me my mom's purse which was slightly damaged from the accident and she suggested I keep it"
"is that the same purse?" Odd asked
"yes it is I just can't get rid of it" Cyndi replied
"so how were things at her house?" Sandra asked
"well it turns out Mindy was a single mom with two kids, who were both boys they were twins and 16 at the time, since Mindy was very busy the twins usually watched me but they made it clear they did not like me, however whenever there mom was around they pretended to but when she was gone they loved to tease me and play what they called the crying game" Cyndi said
"what's the crying game?" Amy asked
"it's when the two of them competed to see who could make me cry more" Cyndi replied
"did you tell anyone about this?" Sandra asked
"when I threatened to tell there mom, they grabbed my doll and said if I wanted it to stay in one piece that I was to tell no one, so I agreed and told no one, I then named the doll Clair and for the next 10 years she was my only friend, by then I was 17 and completely miserable" Cyndi explained
"you put up with them for 10 years?" Sandra asked
"yes but then one day things changed" Cyndi said
"so how did things change?" Sandra asked
note: flashback time! the next part will take place at a high school in Milwaukee about 6 years prior to this chapter
place: English class
"look Clair I got an A on my test" Cyndi said (Cyndi was wearing a light blue dress and her long hair was still its original color: brown)
"who are you taking to" a female student said
"my friend, leave me alone" Cyndi replied
"you're a little to old for dolls" she said before taking Clair out of Cyndi's hand and throwing her in the trash bin
"no one treats my friend that way" Cyndi replied before punching the other student as hard as she could the force of the blow knocked her out
"that that" Cyndi said before walking over to the trash bin and taking Clair out of it
"you're going to the principal's office" the teacher told her
Cyndi then walked to the main office once she walked in the secretary asked her "what did you do this time?"
Cyndi said nothing she just handed her the paper and sat down on the bench
A few minutes later a little kid walked in she had black hair and brown eyes she was wearing a light purple dress
Cyndi was amazed because this girl looked like a mini version of her older sister
"can you believe it she looks just like Jessica, do you think we can trust her?" Cyndi whispered to Clair, she then started thinking about if she should talk to her when the girl walked up to Cyndi and asked "how are you doing?"
Cyndi then looked at her and saw the same innocent smile her sister usually had and without any hesitation said "not to well I'm actually very sad right now"
"will this make it better" the kid asked taking a box of dots out of her bag
"I can't take your candy" Cyndi replied
"we can share. Do you have a favorite color?" She asked
"what brings you to a high school?" Cyndi asked
"field trip to the planetarium" she replied
"don't you have a bus to catch?" Cyndi asked
"I got lost exploring the school and it left without me" she told Cyndi
"is it OK If I ask for your name?" Cyndi asked
"I'm Amy Carster" She replied. She then asked "what's your name?"
"you really want to know?" Cyndi asked
"yes please" Amy replied
"my name is Cyndi" she stated
"why are you so sad Cyndi?" Amy asked
"no one likes me" Cyndi replied
"Why? You look like a nice person to me" Amy replied
"I don't know" Cyndi replied, she then asked Amy "would you like to meet my only friend?"
"yes I would" Amy replied
"her name is Clair and she is a fairy" Cyndi said showing Amy the fairy doll
"Hi Clair how are you doing?" Amy asked
"she's doing fine" Cyndi replied
"are you still sad?" Amy asked
"yes but I feel a little better" Cyndi replied
"I can be your friend" Amy said
"do you really mean it?" Cyndi asked
"I would never lie about something like that" Amy replied
"so you really want to be my friend?" Cyndi asked
"yes I do" Amy said before giving Cyndi a hug
end flashback
"so that's how you met Amy" Odd commented
"yes" Cyndi replied, she then said "after that I told Amy about the twins, she then suggested we tell her mom, she then had a talk with Mindy and after Mindy found the notebook they kept track of the statistics of the crying game in they were in big trouble and I ended up in a new home living with nice people across the street from Amy's house, the two of us quickly became good friends and that's pretty much the end of the story"
"that's a very rough past" Sandra commented
"I know I lived it" Cyndi replied
"look at the bright side, the worst is over" Amy told her
"you truly are my best friend" Cyndi told Amy
"thanks" Amy replied
"how about this dinner for everyone, I'm paying" Sandra stated
"sounds good to me" Odd replied
"thank you for helping me you're right I do feel better now" Cyndi told the others
"it's what friends do" Amy replied
