Chapter 7

Yumi and Aki talked and worked together all through biology. They were becoming actual friends, or something like it. The bell rang and the students began packing up their stuff. Aki bent down to grab her bag, and necklace dangled. Yumi looked at it.

"That's a nice necklace. I didn't notice it before." Yumi said, looking at it.

Aki smiled and put the blue orb in her hand. "My brother gave it to me before he left. It's my most treasured possession." Aki said.

"It's really pretty." Yumi replied and grabbed her bag. She began to wonder what happened to Aki's brother, but decided not to ask. Things like that required a bit more trust.

They walked out of class together, talking about things they had in common.. They met Odd outside the lunchroom.

"Hey guys! What took you so long?" Odd asked.

"Have you been waiting for us?" Yumi asked him. Odd blushed.

"W-well… yeah…" He muttered.

Aki smiled. "We were just talking. Thanks for waiting, Odd." She said.

"Oh. It's was nothing." He responded happily.

They walked over to the lunch line and grabbed trays. The food was laid out in front of them to grab.

"What are you going to get, Aki?" Odd asked.

Aki looked at the food strangely. "I have no clue what half of this stuff is…" She whispered.

Odd grinned. "Well, here. Take some Pudding. I love that stuff, you probably will too, and I'm getting Mac and Cheese." He said as the lunch lady put some on his plate.

Aki smiled and grabbed some pudding and a cookie. She decided she'd get macaroni and cheese as well. Grabbing a carton of chocolate milk, she followed Odd to the table where Ulrich, Aelita and Jeremy already sat. Yumi followed and sat next to Aki.

"This is tasty." Aki commented as she bit into the cookie.

Ulrich kept glaring at her subtly, but Yumi threw part of a cookie at his head. "It's alright, Ulrich. She's really a nice girl," She whispered across the table.

"Yumi! She lied about where she's from!" He whispered back.

"So?"

"So!" He repeated and threw a cookie at her.

Yumi ducked and the cookie hit Sissi in the back of the head. Sissi howled in anger.

"Who threw a cookie at me!" She yelled, throwing an open container of pudding at them.

Odd tapped Aki's shoulder and demonstrated how to fling Macaroni and cheese off a spoon. Him and Aki began to fire at Sissi. She ran for cover and the food hit some other kids. They got angry and flung food back. Aki and Odd ducked and the food flew and hit other kids, whom began to fling back. Soon the entire lunchroom was throwing food at one another. Yumi, Ulrich, Jeremy, Odd, and Aki ducked under the table.

"What's going on, Jeremy?" Aelita asked, as she was pulled under.

"Ulrich accidentally started a food fight." Jeremy replied.

"I didn't mean to! Odd and his girlfriend shot Macaroni at them! It's mainly their fault." Ulrich spat, pointing at Odd and Aki.

"I'm sorry…" Aki said, looking at the ground.

"Hey! She's not my girlfriend, and don't try to pass the blame because your angry that you're the only one who still thinks Aki's from Lyoko!" Odd yelled at Ulrich.

The group fell silent as they realized what Odd just said. Aki looked at them.

"L-lyoko?" She asked.

"Nice going, dimwit! Now you've practically told her about it! You idiot!" Ulrich yelled.

"At least I can trust people, which is more than I can say for you and Yumi!" Odd yelled back, glaring.

"Hey! I believe you now, Odd! Don't bring me into this!" Yumi said.

"So now your taking his side!" Ulrich yelled angrily.

"Yes! I am!"

The three glared and got up from under the table and left separate ways. Aelita, Jeremy, and Aki sat there.

"Uh- what just happened?" Aki asked.

Jeremy sighed. "Don't worry about it."

"But it's my fault their fighting, right? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause any problems…" Aki looked at the ground.

Aelita patted Aki on the back. "It's alright. They argue a lot. They'll be friends in no time again."

"You think?"

"I know."

The principle stepped into the lunchroom, and the food fight was over.

Aki left the principle's office and passed the long row of kids waiting to go in. Jeremy and Aelita were waiting for her.

"Did you get in trouble for starting a food fight?" Aelita asked.

"No, not really. He told me since i'm new here, he'd let me off. I can't say much for that other girl. The one with black hair." Aki said.

The three walked together as Jeremy's labtop began to vibrate. They stopped as Jeremy pulled it out.

"What's wrong, Jeremy?" Aelita asked. Aki looked at him.

"I-it's..." He started, knowing Aelita would know what's going on, without Aki finding out. The lights above them suddenly shattered.

"What's up the the lights?" Aki asked, looking at them. Her eyes widdened as she looked down the hall. "More importantly, what's that!"

Aelita and Jeremy turned to see a big creature that looked like a dog on steroids. It had drool dripping out of it's mouth, which burned a hole in the ground.

"Run!" Jeremy yelled and the three ran with the dog thing right behind them.

Another chapter completed. What do you think?

And, actually, Krabes and Bloks are spelt this way. It's on the officail Code Lyoko site I'm a member of.
