Chapter Six – Truth begin to be Told

It was 8:00am and school was about to start, the gang (except Jeremie who was still in hospital) took their seats in their first class of the day; Science. The bell rung to signal the start of a new day.

"So how's Jeremie?" Odd whispered to Aelita, she turned around, "He's recovering quite well, the doctors did a full analysis and they say that this time he has no further injuries." She smiled, "Are you sure he's ok?" Yumi asked, "I'm sure, there are ways a person can tell if someone else is ok or not." "Like how well they kiss?" Aelita blushed at this, "Oh look, she's redder than a cherry!" the gang began to laugh.

"All right! Settle down everyone!" The class continued to talk over the teachers voice, she took a deep breath and... "SETTLE DOWN!" The whole class went pin-drop silent. "Ok, class we have a new student joining us today."

A boy walked into the room, He wore all black and had a long black coat running to his knees, his hair was raven black and he had a scar down one cheek, "This is- " The student raised his hand, cutting off her voice, "Yami, my name is Yami." He walked to the back of the class and took a seat beside the window.

Later on after Science class it was time for a short recess. The gang took their usual hangout under the big tree in the corner of the grounds, "It's good to know Jeremie survived the operation. It would've been terrible to lose a team member..." Odd said, "My question is how'd he get like that?" Ulrich questioned, "I don't know, maybe it was a serial killer. You know the type of person who attacks at random without any regard for their victims." Yumi answered.

Aelita shrugged, "All that matters is that he's safe and healthy." The others agreed, "Did you see that new kid, you know Yami, he has this evil thing about him..." "It's probably just his taste in clothing. You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover you know Aelita." Odd said, "I know, but I still don't trust that kid..."

Recess ended and they went into the next class, after school they went to visit Jeremie. "Hi Jeremie!" Aelita said happily, "Hey you guys, the doctors say I will be out in two days. They said apart from the broken rib and arm I had no other serious injury. I'll have to have it in a sling though." Aelita looked at him confused, "Your rib?" the other four laughed, then Yumi spoke, "No, his arm!" "Oh ok."

Ulrich handed him a tin, "What's this?" Jeremie asked, it was his turn to be confused, "A little present." Jeremie opened it, inside was a pad of paper and some question sheets. "It's from Miss Hertz. It's todays work that you missed." The others went into hysterical laughter, typical of Miss Hertz to make sure her top student was up to date on all his work.

Jeremie rolled his eyes and said a very unconvincing "Thank you." to Ulrich. "Hey, at least the other teachers didn't give you any work!" "I'd better get it done now actually. The sooner the better." "Ok, I think we all need to head home anyway." "Ok, see you guys tomorrow." The gang left Jeremie to do his work.

Kind of a boring chapter I know but I thought I'd better throw it in. The next one will be more exciting, I promise! R&R Please!
