"Sissi, what are you doing with this slut?" Herb asked, walkling to where the group stood. Before Yumi could blink, or even raise a hand, Sissi had slapped Herb twice.
" DON'T...YOU...EVER...CALL...YUMI...A...SLUT!" She screamed at him, her eyes flashing daggers of hatred and disgust. As she raised her hand to slap Herb again, she felt a hand wrap around her arm. She stopped and looked up to see Jim standing over her, his face stern but understanding, which almost no one had seen from Jim.
"Miss Delmas, there is no fighting at school, no violence of any kind," Jim said aloud as he let go of her hand,"I'm letting you off with a warning,"
"A warning?" Herb yelled, his face red with anger. Jim looked to him and opened his mouth.
"You know..You should leave now, you have caused enough trouble as it is," Jim told him as he turned and walked back to the locker room, leaving everyone stunned with amazement.
Herb turned around quickly, grumbling as a howling Nick followed.
"What was that about?" Ulrich asked as he and shinrai reapproached the group.
"Sissi popped Herb one!"Odd said, leaning against the wall, howling with laughter. Aelita looked in amazement, as Yumi was shaking, feeling the same as Aelita, but the emotion was amplified. Krista looked on in amusement as she saw Odd fall to the ground, still laughing.
"Sissi, no one else has ever stood up for me before, no one but the friends in this group, thank you," She said, her face red with embarressment.
"It is no problem, he shouldn't have said that, I shouldn't have said it when I did either," she said, her fists clenched in anger to what Herb said. SHinrai hugged Sissi once before turning around and reay to walk to the dorms.
"Where are you going?" Sissi asked and walked against him, standing on her tip toes to kiss Shinrai with all she could muster.
"I have class in 10 minutes, I gotta go get my book," He reached into his pocket and then groaned. He turned to face them all, sighing some, "Umm, Jeremie, can ya walk with me to the dorm room?"
"What, why?" Jeremie asked, not wanting to be away from Aelita for too long.
"I uh...I left my keys on my bed before we left..."Shinrai said, feeling like and idiot. He sighed as Odd began to laugh again, the day had been nothing but comedy for the guy.
'I should kick him' thought Shinrai as Jeremie nodded and began to walk to the dorm room with him.
"You disgust me" Jeremie said with a laugh, indicating he did not mean it.
"Hey Jeremie, even though I just met you, I have a question. I've known Sissi for less than a wekk, but when I look at her I get a content feeling. Is this natural for a girl you've just met?" Shinrai asked as the approached the dorm room. Jeremie unlocked the door and then looked to Shinrai.
"I've never told anybody this, but I think they know, I loved Aelita ever since she had contacted me. I 'll fight her to hell to be with her, that I why I am working on the anti-virus," Jeremie replied.
"I thought so, that is how I feel about Sissi. I do have another question for you, more like a promise,if you will. Can you promise me not to send Krista into Lyoko unless absolutely needed to? She is my only sister, and taking the loss of our parents was hard enough. To have her fight in Lyoko could end up being a bad thing. After we graduate, we will be living on the streets, unless Odd marries her. As I've said before, I've known you guys for less than a week, to be asking stuff of you all is pretty selfish,"
"I understand, trust me, if Aelita didn't have to be materialized to stay on earth, Xana would be shut down so she would never have to fight . Krista will not enter Lyoko unless it is completely important, besides, I need some one to help me in the real world while you save the day anyway," Jeremie told him, chuckling.
"Thank you Jeremie, for both acounts," Shinrai grabbed his keys and his bag and yawned some.
"No problem, I had to get earplugs anyway for me and Aelita, Odd made a new music video," Jeremie replied
"Whats wrong with it?"
"Nothing, but his break dance music is really bad,"
"How bad is 'bad'?"
"Think of a cross between a dolphin and a boyband,"
"Oh lord.." Shinrai said as he walked to the classes, "see you after class,"
Jeremie made his way back to the gym, laughing some as he saw Aelita and everybody, except for Yumi and Krista.
"Where is Yumi and Krista?" Jeremie asked as he stepped beside Aelita, hugging her softly
"Yumi went to science with Shinrai, and Krista went to the little girls room, want to know more?" Sissi said before giggling some, looking down embarressed, before Aelita put her hand on Sissi's shoulder, reassuring her.
Uh...Um.. never mind.."Jeremie said as he heard the bell, signaling the beginning of their english class, and that would be it for the day, it being the half day before a small break over the week.
They all had the same English class, minus Shinrai and Yumi. They had sat there, almost dumbfounded. Odd never realy paid attention, but this time, he was sitting by Krista, his eyes looking her up and down slowly. She saw him and giggled some before looking down to her paper, trying to finish her assignment before whispering to Odd,
"Do your assignment, I like you staring at me, but not while I am doing my work," She giggled out and kissed him on the cheek when the teacher wasn't looking and went back to writing, leaving Odd there standing dazed.
"Hey Jeremie, look at Odd..Jer?" Ulrich groaned out, Jeremie having been captivated with Aelita, the only difference was this. Jeremie accualy did his work. Aelita had finished her work as well and had grabbed Jeremie's hand softly, as their hands connected, Ulrich could see the love that was held in the looks, 'How sick is this' Thought Ulrich.
'I wish Yumi was here, damn Shinrai for being in the same class'
"Mr. Flare, if you will not pay attention, you can leave my classroom! " Mrs. Hertz yelled out at him. Shinrai was sitting in his chair, spaced out, he finsihed the assignments on the doard before she even assigned them, Science being his best subject. Yumi began to smirk and chuckle as Shinrai snapped back into reality. Hertz began grumbling as she turned and began to assign the pages with the partners, Yumi had chosen Shinrai as her partners, so Ulrich would not feel upset if she had another partner.
"What were you thinking about Shinrai?" She asked him as he yawned, covering his mouth politly as he did.
"Just about you all, how you've been nice to me and my sister, even though you have only known me for under a week," He replied, handing her his papers, Yumi understood what Hertz had lectured about, but book work seemed to annoying for her to fully pay attention to it.
"Thank you, oh and we are nice to you because we trust you, I get this kind aura from around you, even when you fought in Lyoko, I heard you protected Aelita with everything, even when ya did not know if you got hit, you wouldn't die," She told him as she began to copy the work onto her own paper. Shinrai leaned back, looking around the room.
"Well I couldn't let her die, now could I? I mean, Jeremie IS my roommate..." Shinrai laughed out quietly.
"Well yeah, there is that too," She said, punching him on the arm with mock furocity. He rubbed his arm and began to write in a notebook, a few scribbles here or there.
"What is that?" Yumi asked as she finished copying the work.
"A few ideas I have, I am a writer sometimes when I don't train in martial arts. The idea of Lyoko has gotten me in the book writing kind of mood, and don't worry, It is and Idea like Lyoko and XANA. Kind of like a way to tell our story without really telling the real thing," He explained to her.
"That makes since, I mean, who believes us any other time, at least if we put it in a story, it will be true, and no one will even think differently. They will think it is a Sci-Fi book, that is brilliant Shinrai," She said, keeping her voice down so no one could hear about Lyoko in their conversation. The intercomm began to sound as Mr. Delmas's voice rang over it.
"Students, I am pleased to announce the 6 students that have been chosen to take the advanced testing to skip a grade level. Their names are: Krista Flare, Jeremie Belpois, Aelita Stones, Ulrich Stern, Elizabeth Delmas, and Odd," His voice was cut off by a loud cheering from the next room, where Ulrich's English class took place.
"Odd?" Yumi began laughing out loud as she pounded the table with mirth."How..." Shinrai was laughing as well as the cheering went on in the other room, knowing the cheering was mostly for Odd, that he was chosen for a test like this. The intercomm rang again.
"The test will happen at the end year testing, we wish you good luck," Principal Delmas said.
"No...Way..." Odd said, leaning back in his chair, stunned. Jeremie patted him on the back and Ulrich congratulated him while Sissi, Krista, and Aelita smiled warmly to him.
"Wow, we all got it... Even Odd.." Jeremie said wistfully, looking confused.
