Odd ran in the direction that Madison had went. He looked up, down, left, and right but he couldn't find her. It was like she had just vanished. A few minutes later he came to the bridge by the factory. Madison was sitting on the bridge looking below at the water. She was slightly crying. Odd went to her and sat down. Odd tilted her head up so they were at eye level to one another. Odd leaned in a kissed Madison with his eyes shut. Madison shut her eyes and kissed back. When they parted, Madison started sobbing lightly.
"What's wrong?" Odd asked her.
"My first relationship and I have to move" she answered sadly.
"I'm your first boyfriend?" She nodded.
"All the guys at my old school either knew me as the sports freak or the math freak"
"You might be good at those things but you're not a freak and you are much more than just a person who's good at math and sports"
"Odd" she said playfully.
"We heave to go to gym!"
"Crap, we have that stupid medical checkup too"
Odd laughed. "Let's go" he started heading towards the school.
"Okay"
"Oh yeah, I believe this is yours" he said as he took her cell phone out of his pocket. "I told your mom that you'd call her back" He put the lime green phone in her hand.
"You talked to my mom!"
"Yeah, sorry, she was yelling through the phone"
"It's okay"
"Let's go to the medical checkup and get it over with"
"Yeah, and then maybe afterwards Jim will let us play some kind of game"
"What game would you like to play?"
"Basketball, Alex owes me a game and I want it before I move"
"Want to race again?"
"You want to lose again?"
"It makes us get there faster"
"Okay"
"On your mark, get set, GO!" They ran off to the gym. Madison got there first.
"I so beat you"
"I want a rematch, you cheated!"
"When, where, and how did I cheat?"
"Umm…."
"Exactly"
"Fine, you win"
"Thank you, I owe it all to the little people" She laughed. Odd laughed too.
"What are you two laughing at?" Aelita asked as she walked up to them.
"I beat Odd at a race, again" Madison answered.
"He and Ulrich are the two fastest people at our school!"
"Not anymore"
"So you seriously beat him?"
"Yup"
"Wow"
"Yeah"
"There you guys are" Alex said running up to them. "We've been looking everywhere for you" He took out his black cell phone and called Ulrich. "I found them" he told Ulrich. "We're at the gym" a few minutes later, four people came up to them and they entered the gym together.
"Sit down someplace, move it, move it, we want to get started here" Jim ordered. Odd slipped his hand into Madison's and laced his fingers into hers. "Hurry up, we don't have all day" Madison looked at Odd and smiled. The group found a place on the gym floor and sat down. "We are going to start at the end of the alphabet and work our way to the front. All we are going to do is weigh you and then you can play some kind of game outside" The school nurse came in carrying a scale and set it down on the floor and got started. A few minutes later, Alex was called up. He went to the scale and stepped up onto it.
"Okay, you weigh 110" Nurse Dorothy said. Alex got off the scale and went back top his friends.
"I'll go reserve a basketball court" he said as he left the gym. A few people later, Aelita was called up. And then another person. Ulrich went up and was weighed. When he was done, he and Aelita went outside and found Alex making some baskets. They joined him. Five minutes later Yumi came out and they played two on two. Yumi and Ulrich versus Aelita and Alex. A few minutes later, Madison came running out ready to get her game on. Alexis came following her shortly after. Alex and Madison had just started their game.
"Madison!" Alexis yelled interrupting their game. Madison put her hands in a T and went to see what Alexis wanted. Alex watched her run off and go to Alexis. Odd came running out of the gym and went to Alex. He was staring at Madison.
"Are you checking out my girlfriend?" Odd asked.
"Not that way, her heart is unhappy" Alex answered.
"Only Madison, Alexis, and I know why, Madison and I are going to tell everybody after classes"
"You mean the Australia thing?"
"How did you know about that?"
"Alexis told us at lunch but we didn't believe her"
"She really is out to ruin Madison's life"
"What?"
"Madison figured it out, she's the reason why Madison has to move"
"That was mean"
"Yeah, and now we're losing a member of the Lyoko gang"
"What about XANA?"
"Exactly"
"I weigh 87 pounds!" Alexis said. "I gained three pounds since last year!"
"Yeah, you also gained two inches" Madison said back.
"Right, how much do you weigh?"
"93"
"So diets really do work?"
"Guess so, why did you really call me over here?"
"I, kind of, accidentally, told them about Australia"
"I was going to tell them after classes"
"Well now you don't have to tell them"
"I know but what if they don't trust me anymore?" Madison said falling to her knees. Odd saw and went running over and knelt beside her. Jeremie came out and went over to Aelita. Alex went over to Odd, Alexis, and Madison. Jeremie, Yumi, Ulrich, and Aelita started talking about Madison's move because they heard Odd say that she really was moving.
"Madison, are you okay?" Odd asked her.
"Yeah, I'm fine" she replied. Odd looked at Alexis knowing that she would tell.
"She's afraid that you guys won't trust her anymore since she wasn't the one who told you about her move"
"Madison, we'll always trust you, we share a huge secret" Alex said. "And everyone has their own personal secrets, I know I have mine"
"Are you going to tell them to me?" Alexis asked, batting her eyelashes at him.
"I don't know, maybe"
"I know things about Alexis that she doesn't even know I know" Madison said.
"Oh yeah, like what?" Alexis asked.
"When we were seven, you found the neighbor's dog and they had a reward for it, but you kept it in your room for three days and then you returned him instead of returning him right away"
"How did you know about that?"
"I heard barking one day when you were at your friend's house and I found him"
"Did you tell mom and dad?"
"No, I wouldn't betray you like you did to me"
"Right…"
William came over to Madison from where he was by the soccer field. "Hey, you're the girl that is really good at sports and math, right?" He asked talking to Madison.
"Yeah, what about it?" she answered.
"Well, I also like math and sports and I was wondering if maybe you would like to hang out tonight"
"Don't you like Yumi?" Odd asked annoyed that William was flirting with "his girl".
"No, I did, but I don't anymore, so, what about it? We could go see a movie or we could hang out in my room because I don't have to share a room with anyone" He sat down on Madison's right while Odd was on her left. Odd grabbed her hand.
"No thanks, I have plans"
"With who?"
"My friends"
"Come on, you can ditch them for just one night" He was going to place his hand on her shoulder.
"Touch me and you're going to wish you were never born" Madison said quickly.
"But if I was never born, I never would have met you" He said putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Exactly" she said as she punched him square in the jaw. He fell backwards hitting the ground with his hand on his jaw. He got up and ran away. Yumi, Ulrich, Jeremie, and Aelita came running over.
"That was awesome!" Yumi said giving Madison a high five. "I've been trying to get rid of him forever"
"We heard and saw everything" Ulrich added.
"He had it coming" Madison said coolly.
"So, are you really moving?" Aelita asked.
"Yeah, to go to a stupid gifted and talented school" Madison said sadly.
"And she doesn't even want to move" Odd piped in. Madison put her head on his shoulder.
"Then you shouldn't have to" Ulrich said.
"Try telling that to my mom"
"We cant let you move" Yumi said to Madison.
"My parents are coming tomorrow morning for me"
"That soon! didn't you just find out this morning?" Madison nodded. "You aren't going to move if we have anything to say about it"
"I wish you guys really could help me but my parents' minds are made up"
"We can at least try"
"Okay"
"So Madison, do you still want to play basketball?" Alex asked.
"It might help me get my mind off of Australia"
"Okay, one on one, first one to five wins"
"Deal" Madison got the ball first and made an easy basket. Then Alex got the ball and missed but got the rebound. Madison got one from half court and then stole the ball from Alex and made another basket. Alex made a slam dunk and Madison got the ball. She shot from the outside and made it. "Are you trying to let me win?"
"Maybe"
"Well don't, I can win without your help"
