Thanks for all the reviews, no one even flamed me! FYI, ingenue means 'angel' in French.
Classes
Odd: Anyway, you have Mrs. Hertz's class with us now.
Meg: Um….Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Odd: It depends on how smart you are.
Meg: (smiles and nods) Okay, so I should be fine.
Jeremie: Come on, we should see where you sit.
Odd: (to himself) I hope she sits with me, I hope she sits with me…..
Meg: What, Odd?
Odd: Um….Nothing!
(When they get to class)
Mrs. Hertz: You must be Meghan! Class, please welcome our new student, Meghan Ingénue. (It was the only thing I could think of that didn't sound too American) She is going to class with her sister, Linden Ingénue.
Odd: (whispers) Nice last name, Meg.
Meg: yeah, well, I don't live up to it like Linden, so you'd better watch out.
Mrs. Hertz: Well, it appears our seating is full so you may sit with Odd Della-Robbia and Ulrich Stern.
Odd: Yes! (Blushes) Oh, sorry.
Meg: (At the same time) Cool! Oh, sorry. (They walk over to the table and Meg sits next to Odd at the edge of the table)
Odd: It's a little cramped, care to move a little closer?
Meg: (rolls her eyes) And who will that help?
Odd: Um….Ulrich?
Ulrich: Hmmmm…..
Mrs. Hertz: So, when we left off…..
Odd: (pulls Meg's chair closer to him until they're almost touching) There, that's better.
Meg: Odd! (Giggles) If you pull me any closer, Linden will be sitting on your lap.
Odd: (in her ear) How about you sit in my lap and Linden gets the chair?
Meg: (blushes bright red)
Mrs. Hertz: Ms. Ingénue, could you tell me if you've already learned this?
Meg: (snaps to attention) Yah, I learned this all last year.
Odd: (a few minutes later) How did you know what she was talking about?
Meg: I looked at the board. You are a little behind where I was.
Odd: Would you mind privately tutoring me?
Meg: (Blushes) As long as you don't try anything.
Odd: Are you gonna make me promise you?
Ulrich: I have an idea. Yumi and me should study to make sure you don't do anything.
Odd: (Grins) Yeah, we can double-date!
Ulrich: (mutters) that's not what I meant…
(later that night)
Meg: (writing in her diary)
The first day of school was okay...For someone who just lost her parents…..I have some new friends, as well. Their names are Jeremie, Aelita, Ulrich(I sparred with him yesterday), Yumi, and Odd. I think Odd might have a crush on me……But that might just be me hoping and wishing again……I can tell Ulrich and Yumi like each other, though. Aelita and Jeremie are going out…..I'm very glad because, otherwise, we'd have tons of boys swarming all over our 'group' to talk to her. Aelita also has a way with Linden……Linden climbed into her arms almost the minute she saw her! That's how we met……And I'm so glad we did! They seem to understand when I don't want to talk…I've told Odd about Lyoko and the fire……I'm sorry, Mom! I had to tell someone! It's just so hard to keep everyone away and all the secrets locked up inside myself……Anyway, II have to go now…..Linden needs her song of the night…..She's learned all the words to 'My Immortal' so I think I'll start singing 'My last breath' to her…..
With Love,
Meg
