Chapter 7: Pieces of life

Disclaimer: I own all my original characters.

A/n: ok ok. So there MIGHT be some Nicole/Jason pairing. Depends on what you guys want. Let me know in a review.

"Nikki. Up. Now." Yumi said dumping the brunette out of bed. "

do I have to?" she yawned from the floor.

"Yes you have to go to school." Yumi opened the curtains. Forcing herself up, Nicole took a quick shower and got dressed in the usual.

"is Dylan going to school?" she asked brushing her hair.

"No. He's gonna stay at the factory with Jer and Aelita. Just in case." Yumi said as they walked out the door. Jason was waiting on the front walk when they came out the door.

"you guys want a ride? I'm going up to the factory." Yumi asked getting into her car.

"Nah I need the exercise." Nicole waved. They walked 3 blocks in silence before Jason decided to break the silence.

"Are.. You ok?" he asked. Nicole gave him a quick glance.

"why do you keep asking that? I'm fine. Wanna blood test to prove it?" Jason laughed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry you just seem distracted." Nicole nodded.

"I'm still worried about Dylan. I hope he's gonna be ok." she sighed. Jason nudged her a little.

"He's almost as hard headed as you, he'll live." Nicole stepped on his foot. "

hey!" she laughed and shook her head.

"Dad called last night. They decided to build off of Aelita's anti-virus." Jason explained. "

that's good." Nicole nodded as they got onto school grounds. Jason sighed.

"listen Nikki. I don't know if you're still mad at me. I know that jerk Bryan never leaves you alone, but try to let it go. The more it bothers you the more he's gonna pick on you." Nicole glared at him.

"never talk about him." Jason stopped short.

"Nicole come on! He's a loser and he wont leave you alone. The crazy part is he likes you. You hate him. It's obvious because you always say it. But let me beat him up." Nicole started cracking up.

"I'm kidding Nick. I wouldn't beat him up but let me tell him off ok?" Jason asked more seriously.

"He's coming this way isn't he?" She asked. Jason flashed her a smile.

"fine." she sighed.

"hey angel. Where's your other tag along? Isn't there normally two of them?" A boy about Jason's height with dark black hair and brown eye's was smiling smugly at Nicole.

"one day I'm not gonna be here and she's gonna snap and kill you." Jason said coldly.

"Angel wouldn't kill me. She loves me." Nicole growled. Jason had her back though.

"she's tougher than she looks and she hates you. Besides she has a boyfriend." he said folding his arms. Bryan looked at Nicole.

"who?" he asked.

"none of your business!" she snapped.

"come on Nikki, class." Jason said with a smile. He could tell she really enjoyed yelling at him. They ran into class and made it on time, beating the bell by 20 seconds.

"why did you tell him I have a boyfriend?" Nikki asked. Jason shrugged.

"had to make something up." Nicole hit him lightly as class started.

Factory

"Yumi will you take Dylan to the scanner room please?" Jeremy asked.

"dad I can handle it." Dylan laughed. "ok. never mind. Go down to the scanners." he sighed. Aelita smiled.

"come on Ai. Let's go get the guys some lunch." Yumi said putting a hand on her shoulder. Aelita turned to Jeremy.

"we got it hun. I'm just putting up the first part of the anti-virus so Xana cant continue to infect him more. Go get something to eat." Jeremy said putting on his head set.

"alright. We'll be back. Call us if you find anything." Aelita sighed. The girls headed out of the factory towards Aelita's.
