(\ /) A/n: Hello. This is my first fic here so I hope you all like it! I don't own Code
(. .) Lyoko. This is rated high for a lot of things like abuse. In almost every form
c(")(")abuse can be in... except sexual. But I hope this teaches a lesson... And the characters are going to be very out of character in an AU...just a heads up.
Chapter 1: Lies
"So . . . " Odd asked one day during breakfast, as he poured more maple syrup on his pancakes. "Answer the question for me. Why is Sissy in love with Ulrich?"
"Beats the hell out of me," Ulrich said, adding more salt to his eggs. "It's just one of those questions that we will never know the answer to."
Odd shrugged and helped himself to his third serving of hot cakes.
"I know another question that we will never find out the answer," Aelita giggled.
"What's that?" Ulrich asked as he waved to Yumi, who just walked into the cafeteria.
Yumi smiled and waved back. She joined them at the table and sat in front of Ulrich, who was setting next to Aelita. "What are you guys taking about?"
"Aelita is about to tell us an unsolved question," stated Jeremy.
"Ok, here it goes. Where does Odd puts all of the food he eats?" Aelita laughed loudly, along with everyone else.
As they laughed, the sound of a glass cup crashing to the ground interrupted them. Everyone looked up at the noise to see who dropped the cup, except Odd, who remained looking forward.
"Nice going Sissy!" Yumi laughed at Sissy, who was staring at the cup that fell off her tray.
"Humph!" Sissy said, very loudly and walked away with her head held up high.
"Ha-ha! She's such a klutz." Yumi whispered to Aelita, who kept on laughing.
Aelita looked across the table at Odd and noticed that he had stopped laughing...as a matter of fact... Odd had stopped moving.
He had stopped eating, and now he was staring at Aelita, but in a way that seemed as if he was looking right through her. His eyes were wide and unfocused. His mouth was open slightly and his jaw was trembling.
"Uh...Ulrich...what's wrong with Odd?" Aelita asked in a little voice.
"What do you mean?" Ulrich wondered and looked up at him. "...Odd?" Ulrich became very worried and stood up. "Odd! What's wrong!"
Now Yumi and Jeremy were on their feet. "Is...he chocking?" Yumi asked with her hand over her mouth.
Odd's hands were shaking and he began to sweat. His face was drained of all color and showed no emotion except fear. His mouth was moving soundlessly and he was still looking at Aelita as though she was not there. Odd's body began to shake and his breathing was quick and in short pants.
"Odd? Odd! Odd!" Ulrich yelled, scared. "Why were you doing that! Odd! What is it? Why are you acting like that?"
Now every one in the cafeteria, was looking at them. Some people had gotten to their feet for a better look and others had their hands over their hearts or mouths. There was a soft mummer going about asking what was going on. While some people told others to go get help.
Ulrich had made his way directly in front of Odd. He had his hands on the table and leaned closer to him. "Odd! Odd!" He could see that Odd was truly and deeply scared, because he even had tears in his eyes.
Odd, as though he could not hear or see Ulrich, continued to stare and tremble.
"Ulrich! Please! Do something!" Yumi cried.
Ulrich grabbed Odd by the shoulders and shock him as he yelled his name.
Odd flinched and blinked. He looked at Ulrich and flinched again. "...Ul...Ulrich...? What...what is it?"
Everyone sighed a sigh of relief. "Why did you do that?" Ulrich asked, relieved that Odd was back to normal.
"...Do...Do what? What did I do?" Odd asked with a forced smile, which no one noticed it was forced. He had stopped sweating and his eyes were now focused, but he was still pale and trembling.
"You...were completely out of it. Staring off into space," Jeremy said, quiet calmly.
"You scared us..." Aelita said, wiping away some tears.
Yumi said in a small voice, "You are still shaking."
Odd looked down at the table and quickly looked back up. He smiled and shook his head. "No, it's nothing. Don't worry."
"What? Don't worry, Odd?" Ulrich said, bewildered.
"Yup. Nothing is wrong." Odd put up another fake smile, but again no one caught it. "I need to go to the bathroom. I'll see you guys in first class." Odd stood up, picked up his try and threw away the pancakes that he didn't finish. He walked out of the cafeteria and headed to the dorm buildings.
Ulrich followed Odd with his eyes until he could see Odd no more. He then turned his gaze to Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremy.
