(Macas P.O.V.)

That was too close… I have got to be more careful around him. Luckily, being in a boarding school will keep me away. I wont be getting any more bruises for a while.

I walk over and grab the box of computer stuff, take out each piece, and inspect it for damage. Luckily, the only thing that appears to be hurt a little bit is my keyboard has a slight crack in it. Easily fixable. I set up the rest of my computer: two cases, with two synchronized motherboards, three CPUs and one Internet keyboard w/basic explorer mouse. (A/N: yes, I am a computer geek, and this setup is possible)

What time is it? 12:19, better get down for lunch… where's the lunchroom? Uh oh…

I grab my jacket and shoes and jog down to Ulrich's room, 349 and knock. No one answers… great. I peek inside and there's no one there.

They should probably lock their door… I'll lock it for them.

I lock the door really quick and jog down to the courtyard, hoping I can figure out where the lunchroom is.

(Sissi P.O.V.)

I walk around the corner and spot that new kid looking in Ulrich and Odd's room.

What's he doing there? He should be down at lunch… oh there he goes. Maybe he was just lost. Now let's see what I can find in Ulrich's room. This time I'll find something so good and juicy, Ulrich will have to go out with me…(Smiles gleefully)

I walk down to their room and grab the handle, knowing Odd will have forgotten to lock their door again…

Stupid handle won't budge. Weird, they should get their door fixed. Actually, wait… Macas looked at the door really quick… Oh that brat! He locked the door! He must have seen me around the corner somehow! I'll get him for this!

(Ulrich P.O.V.)

"Hey Odd, did you remember to tell Macas about lunch?" Jeremie asks between mouthfuls. "It's 12:45 and if he doesn't hurry, he'll miss lunch."

"Of course I told him, how could I forget about lunch?"

"Did you tell him where the cafeteria is?"

"Uh… oops" Odd grins sheepishly.

"Great Odd, I'll go find him. I'm done with my lunch anyway." I say and stand up.

"No you're not! You haven't finished your pudding!"

"Here, have it Odd." I push it at him and walk out the door.

Okay, if I was a new kid, where would I be? Well that was easy, there he is!

"Hey Macas!" I yell across the courtyard to him. He looks over and waves. I start jogging to him and he starts walking to me.

"Hey Ulrich what's up?"

"Hey, you're missing lunch."

"Yah I know. Odd forgot to tell me where the lunchroom is." He starts laughing a little bit.

"That sounds like Odd." I laugh with him. "How long have you been walking around?"

"About 5 minutes, I lost track of time in my room."

"Okay, let's go, you don't want to miss lunch today, this is the first time we get something good."

"Oh? And what's that?"

"Pizza Hut pizza. The cafeteria's ovens broke down and they had to order something quick. Plus they have extra pudding and brownies for dessert."

"Wow, I'm having good luck on my first day here."

"Here you go, stand in line here with a tray, go around and get your food, then meet us at the table over there." I say pointing at where Odd, Jeremie and Aelita are sitting.

"Thanks Ulrich."

"No problem." I say as I walk back towards the table.

"Odd I'm amazed that you can tell Macas that lunch is at 12:30 and forget to tell him where lunch is." Aelita says when I walk up.

"Yah Odd, that's unbelievable." I say and sit down.

"Hey, don't blame me. It's not my fault that brains and beauty don't mix very well."

"I'm not sure, Jeremie is managing well." Aelita says casually while Jeremie blushes.

"Here comes Macas." Odd says and we turn around.

"Wow that was fast." I say.

"Yah, I know, I just kind of flew through the line, everyone else just let me through." Macas says as he sits down at the table.

"Weird."

"Hey slow down or you're going to burst. And how did you manage to get six slices of pizza, with five puddings and seven brownies? Not to mention the four chocolate milks." Odd asks looking hungry again.

"It seems that the cafeteria over shot how many kids were going to eat by about two hundred kids. They had plenty of extra and asked if I wanted some."

"Aww, man no fair. They weren't doing that when I got up there."

"Go up and try again, they would probably give you some more. They had like 75 slices left when I was up there."

"Oh hell yes!" Odd yells and runs up there.

"Is he always…" Macas starts to say but I interrupt him.

"Hungry? Yes, always. That's odd for you." We all have a good laugh together.

"The lunch ladies wont let me have anymore, they say I eat too much already." Odd says as he sits back down.

"Here Odd, I have plenty. Take some, but leave some pudding for me."

"Macas, you are my new best friend. No offense Ulrich."

"None taken." I say as I watch Odd and Macas pig out on the massive amount of food.

"Jeez, you must be really hungry Macas…"

"Yah, I haven't eaten anything since the plane this morning."

"Hey guys, I'm going to work on Aelita's anti-virus, I mean uh… oh shit."

Everyone all of the sudden stops what their doing and looks at Macas and he looks like someone just drove a bulldozer through the wall next to him.

(Macas P.O.V.)

"Um, anyone mind explaining?" I say really confused.

An anti-virus? If Aelita has a virus, she should be in bed sick, but how could Jeremie help? This doesn't make any sense! The only other type of virus is a computer virus. How could Aelita have a computer virus?

"Uh…" Aelita says

"Yah, uh, Aelita's computer got infected with a really bad virus, and Jeremie's trying to get rid of it…" Ulrich says quickly.

"Oh, ok. You really had me wondering for a second there!" I say.

Something tells me they're not telling me the whole truth.

"Damn Jeremie, I didn't know you could cuss…" Odd says laughing.

"Well, see you later Jeremie!" Ulrich says, obviously trying to get Jeremie to leave before he says anything else stupid.

"Uh, oh yah. See you later!" Jeremie says, walking out with Aelita holding his head like he has a headache.

"Why didn't Aelita just tell me she had a computer virus?" I ask before taking a drink.

"Her parent's uh… entrusted her with their computer while she's here… and uh… she's ashamed I guess."

"Oh, okay. That makes perfect sense, I guess she didn't want anyone to know she messed up big time." I say, trying to look casual.

"Yah."

I think they're not telling me something. They started stuttering all the sudden, and Aelita looked way to scared from being punished by her parents. Something's up and I think I'll figure out what.

"Maybe I should go and help Jeremie, I know of some pretty powerful anti-viruses you can download easily from the Internet."

"Nah, I think Jeremie wants to do this by himself."

"Okay then. Well, I'm full, Odd do you want the rest?"

"Oh hell yes I do." Odd finishes off the last brownie and pizza slice.

"So what do you want to do for the rest of…" Ulrich never got to finish because Sissi decided to make an appearance.

"Oh Ulrich dear! I just came over to see if you wanted some better company." Sissi said in her high pitched voice.

"Sissi, the only way he could get better company is if…" Odd began.

"Actually, sure Sissi, I would love some better company." Ulrich interrupts as Sissi is beaming in delight.

"What the hell? Ulrich what are you talking about?" Odd says obviously bewildered.

"Yah Ulrich, what's the deal?" I say, wondering how anyone could want to hang out with Sissi.

"I'd like some better company, so I'm gonna go and see if Yumi is here yet… see you later guys." Ulrich stands up and walks past a fuming Sissi while Odd and I are bursting with laughter.

"Wow, he really had me going, I thought he had finally lost his mind." Odd says between breaths.

"Yah, me too. What do you want to do now?"

"How 'bout some soccer?"

"Sure, I haven't played any sports in a while."

We walk over to the soccer field joking about Ulrich and Sissi.
