A/N I just wanted say that the next few chapters will be short. They'll let you get inside Maria's head a little bit more and let you see what she's going through. I also wanted to thank Yumi#1fansanchez for reviewing. It meant a lot! Please review when you're done. Oh yeah, there will be Lyoko and more of the gang in this in a few chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own Code: Lyoko nor will I ever!

----Maria's dorm 3:30pm----

Sigh. I can't believe I'm actually here. In France. In a private school where the only person I've met so far is a kid who wants nothing to do with me. Sigh. Oh well at least this is better then being with Christon. Anything is better then that.

I closed my eyes as I remembered.

I was standing on a bridge over looking a large river. It's raining and the wind whips my hair around my tear stained face.

No. I don't want to remember. I can't.

"I won't." I said the last part aloud. I open my eyes to see the blank ceiling of my dorm room. I sit up and look out the window. Form my position on my bed I could see the sun. I looked around my room at all the stuff that was there. The room contained a dresser, a bookshelf, a desk, and a bed. On my desk I had set up a laptop computer and a CD player. My bookshelf was full of books in 5 different languages including Spanish, English, and French.

Maybe. Just maybe I learn how to live here. It's not like anybody really knows what happened. All I have to do is walk outside and introduce my self to someone.

I got up and walked a crossed the room and put my had on my doorknob.

Who am I kidding? Everyone here already has their own little group. To them I'm just an outsider. No better then a worm on the sidewalk in the rain. Well, if I can't become part of an existing group that doesn't mean that I can't be outside.

I walk back across my room to my desk. I pick up my purple notebook and a pencil turned and walk outside.

----The courtyard----

As I walked a crossed the lawn I saw a big maple tree. I went over and sat down under to it. I opened my notebook and started to write. As I wrote I started to think again. Memories. So many memories. Why can't you leave me alone Christon? Why can't you go away and leave me alone? I have nothing more that you can have. Nothing. That day in the rain, you took everything from me. So get out of my head and leave me in peace. DO YOU HEAR ME! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!

I stared to cry silently and, ignoring the stares I got, I got up and ran into my dorm. Closing the door behind me I fell onto my bed, crying. I knew the dreams would plague me, the dreams about everything that I had been thinking about for the past few weeks, the dreams about Andrew.
