Authors note: Anyone think I have too much diologe?

"I wonder who came out of the scanner," Jeremie thought aloud to Aelita.

"Could have been that sword-girl," Yumi pointed out from Jeremie's bed.

"Or that cat-warrior," Odd added from the floor.

"Cat-warrior?" Ulrich inquired from next to Odd.

"Yeah, Eva was her name, she was talking to someone who looked like Aelita's mirror image gone blue. Cindy, Cara, can't remember the other's name but-"Aelita butted in.

"Clarice?" Aelita asked.

"Clarice!" Odd hit himself on the head, "That was her name!"

"What is it Aelita?" Jeremie pried.

Aelita's smiling face went serious, "Clarice and I knew each other well, that's all."

Jeremie could tell there was more.

Yumi broke the silence, "Time for class."

"See ya around/ Later Aelita," was thrown at Aelita as they left the room.

"Have fun," she replied.

O.o

(It's a smiley face)

"Okay class," Ms. Murphy said, "Today you will be working on chapter thirteen, and before anyone asks, yes you can do it in groups, as long as everyone passes in their own sheet of paper in their own handwriting, and you keep it to a dull roar."

The class erupted into noise talking about who was going to work with who, and blurting out answers. A few times the teacher asked for silence.

"Class!" She screamed. The silenced themselves. "The principal has something to say." Ms. Murphy stepped out of the way to reveal the principal, and an obviously frightened girl about Ulrich's height standing at the door.

"Students," he addressed them, "This is Havania Carson, she is going to be your new classmate for the rest of the year, and I know you all are going to be nice to her."

A few kids snickered in the back of the room.

The teacher thanked the principal, "So, Havania, is there anything about yourself you'd like to tell the class?"

Havania looked at the teacher in confusion, she tucked one of her braids of auburn hair behind her shoulder, she then said something the class didn't understand. Upon realizing that, she tried again and again, apparently in different language each time. She kept trying, just as the teacher started to usher her back to her seat with text book in hand Havania said, in bad French, "I have limited French," Seeing the class finally understood her she accepted the text book and returned to her seat.

"Jeremie, mind explaining to Havania what we're doing?" Ms. Murphy asked.

"Nope," he looked up.

"Havania, you go sit by Jeremie, he'll explain," the teacher pointed at Jeremie.

Havania walked over and sat down, Ulrich looked at her strangely, and she gave him the same look back.

"So, we're doing chapter thirteen," Jeremie opened her text book to the page, "And we're only doing odd problems."

Havania nodded and jumped in, she struggled for a bit, but nothing Jeremie couldn't help her with, only problem was Ulrich had the same trouble the same time she did.

After what felt like forever to Jeremie, the bell finally rang. The class stood in unison. The teacher quickly dismissed them allowing them to file out the door.
