------------------------Chapter 2 The Factory

They all fought there way into the cafateria. After that preformance on the field, every soccer fan had to see the new girl who beat Ulrich. Leah laughed as Odd fought his way through to the doors. "Dude, your not getting in if I'm around. Wait...I've got an idea." she said, "I'll be right back." Leah turned and ran toward the dorms. Most people followed, while others shrugged and walked away. They all watched in amazement when she appeared around the corner a minute later. "Ok, who wants lunch?" Leah said with a smile. "What?" she replied to there astonished faces. "How did you do that?" Odd replied. Leah smiled as she walked it to the cafateria, "Odd, thats for me to know and you to never find out."

How did she, she...she's increadible! Odd again pushed these thoughts out of his mind.

"What, Odd?" teased Ulrich, "you fallin for her?" "Let's just eat, ok."stuttered Odd, two red bloches bloom on his cheeks. He silently grabs a tray and gets his food, then quickly walk toward the table where they all where sitting.

"Dude, are you gonna eat that?" Leah asked anyone who would give up their pudding. Odd's jaw dropped. What? Only I...what? She's perfect! Ulrich and Yumi laugh as they give up their chocolate pudding, while Jeremie and Aelita giggle. "I'll give mine to Odd. He always takes my pudding." laughs Jeremie. "Kay, cool. I don't want to, like, steal Odd's pudding." Ha ha ha. He's great. And he likes pudding. Bonus!

Jeremie starts typing furiously on his beloved laptop. "What are you doing?" Leah asked between spoonfulls of pudding. Jeremie snikered and said,"Don't do that you look like Odd." "Whats wrong with that?" Odd and Leah asked in unison. They both blushed as the rest of the group laughed. "You still didn't answer my question, Jeremie. What are you doing?" "Um...er...a...a science project...why?" Leah smiled, she could see right through his lie. She knew something was up, her curiousity was growing. "I have science with you, when did she assign it?" Jeremie knew then that she didn't buy 'a science project' excuse. "About...um...a...a week ago?" he studdered. No way is it a project. "Well, won't i have to do the assignment too? I mean I'm still a student, I just started late. Why do you think that Mrs. Hertz didn't tell me?" "Um...a...go talk to her later, um...she might tell you about it." "Oh, ok."Leah said with a smirk,"Don't worry. I will."

Jeremie then looked sick,"Guys, um...we gotta go." "Go where? Can I come?" They all looked at each other,"Sorry, but you can't come...well, atleast not this time." answer Jeremie. Leah then felt betrayed, as they all got up to leave. "Why can't I come?" she whispered to Odd. "I...I'm sorry, but I really can't tell you. But I will one day, promise." "Ok." she said with a sigh. They started toward the door when Leah noticed that Jeremie forgot his backpack. "Hey Jeremie, wait!" she called, but he didn't hear her. They were already out the door. I know I shouldn't follow, but he left his backpack, and...um...he might need it. Yeah. He might need it. She told herself trying to make even her mind believe that.

She grabbed her backpack and Jeremie's and headed for the door, trying to keep up but not be seen. As she walked through the door, Jim was headed into the cafateria, "Hey you, um...Leah! Yeah, that's right, Leah. Have you thought of..." "Yeah whatever, Jim. Gotta go." she called as she headed out the door. She stopped only for a second at the edge of the forest, well you know what they say. Curiousity killed the cat.

------------------------

When she got to the edge of the forest, the heard voices. "Come on Odd. Let's go." "But..." "No buts, Odd. We gotta go." "Ok, ok. Hold on. I'm coming, I'm coming." For being unusually suspicious, they were kinda loud.

Leah had grown into an excellent sneak and eavesdropper. She moved often and always had to sneak to find out if she was moving or if her Mother's boyfriend was a serious jerk. That was the only time her Mom permitted her to sneak, but she had grown too well at it.

The voices started to echo and their shadows dissappeared, when they came to a little opening in the forest. Where did they go? She walked into the opening and OW! She stubbed her toe on a sewer cap. Bingo! She gingerly moved the heavy metal cap and slid it to the side, so she could climb down in the sewer. "Ok, this better be good, since I'm climbing into a stinking sewer to find them." she whispered to herself.

In the sewer, she quickly followed the voices. She was easily able to keep up, but made sure that she was a safe distance behind. She didn't want her cover to be blown that easily. They would hate her, and to be truthful, they are the only true friends that I've ever had. Then, she followed them (a safe distance behind) up the ladder and outside the factory. Wow. So this is where they were going! It truely was amazing. But then they took the elevator down. Crap. I can't take the elevator down. Wait, there has to be another was down. There. Beside the elevator. A trap door with a ladder going down. Yes!

Her heart raced, she loved doing things like this. It was great to have the adreniane rushing through her vains again. Was she going to get caught? Or would she have to keep it a secret? She climbed down the ladder until she heard Jeremie's voice,"Ok, guys. Get in to the scanners." He was in the room beneath her. She climbed a little further down and hide among the cords and rafters. The rafters! She carefully climbed onto a rafter and made her way closer to Jeremie on a giant computer with multiple screens.

Scanners? What do they need scanners for?

What is an overboard?

Life points? Are they going to be ok?

Where are they? What is XANA? What's going on?

"Odd, watch it! You barely have any life points left!" warned Jeremie. "Odd! Okay, come up here once you return to the scanner room. Sheesh! Does he ever take things seriously?" Leah giggled from her perch. Odd never takes things seriously. She barely knew him, and it had come across to her fast. Very fast.

The elevator opened, and Odd stepped out. The first thing he happened to see was Leah hiding up in the rafters. She had seen him see her, and instantly she put her finger to her lips, trying to keep him quiet. He violently point up, signaling to climb back up to the top floor. "Um...Jeremie, I'm...um...I'll be right back." "Okay Odd. Whatever."Jeremie replied, completely absorbed in the screens.

Odd quickly walked back into the elevator, watching Leah silently make her way back toward the ladder. The metal bars felt fimiliar in her hands as she silently climbed back up to the top. Odd was waiting for her at the top. He helped her up through the square trap door, when she finally got to firmly on the ground, her thoughts poured out all at once," What?...where? ...XANA?...scanners?...Odd, whats going on!" He couldn't lie to her anymore.

"Leah, um...can you keep a secret?" Odd studdered.

"Yeah, why...?"
