(Macas P.O.V.)

I walk back towards my dorm, just like yesterday… no, it wasn't yesterday, it was today. But it couldn't be today… anyway; I walk back like before. The whole way I get that same feeling. That Déjà vu feeling. I remember seeing Sissi walking towards me like before, and avoided her this time. God she's annoying. I remember that younger girl… Millie? She was going to walk up to me before, but Sissi told her to scram. I walk over by her and she comes up to me again.

"Hello, are you Macas Keloly, the new kid at school?" She asks kind of timidly.

"Yah, that's me." I reply

"I was supposed to give you this note from the principal." She says, handing out a note.

"Thank you… What's your name?"

"Millie…"

"Thank you Millie." I say and walk towards the principal's office.

"Wait!" She says. "Would you mind if I asked you a few questions afterward?"

"No, but why would you want to ask me about anything?"

"Because I run the school newspaper and Ulrich is a close friend of yours."

"No, I wouldn't mind. How about you meet me over by the science classroom at 6:30? This should be over by then…"

"Sure and thank you!" I walk over to the principal's office.

Why would a girl from the school newspaper want to talk to me about Ulrich?

His secretary just shoos me in there, knowing I would be coming.

"Hello sir, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes Mr. Keloly, it's extremely important. Please sit down." He says and I take the offered chair.

"Now then, I have been informed that you have been causing trouble at school."

"You have? Well, that's odd, I haven't done anything wrong to my knowledge."

"Well, my informant says that she saw you being extremely violent with Ms. Yumi Ishiyama." He says.

What? I haven't done anything to Yumi.

"What do you mean by violent sir?"

"I mean that you repeatedly struck her until she passed out. And then Mr. Ulrich Stern managed to subdue you and take Ms. Ishiyama to safety."

Say what? I have no idea what he's talking about. I didn't hit Yumi!

"I have no recollection of any such event. Are you sure your informant has correct knowledge?"

"Yes she is a reliable source."

"And who might this informant be? Maybe if you were to call her in here, we would be able to work out this matter. I am sure I have not hurt Yumi Ishiyama in any way."

"My informants are none of your business, and as of right now, she is busy." He says quickly.

Hmm, he seems to be defending her. I have a feeling this informant is Sissi. She was leading on to something like this last time I talked to her.

"I'm sorry sir, I did not mean to intrude upon your informant's privacy. But I'm sure I did not harm Yumi."

"I'm sorry, but I am going to have to keep you in detention until Jim can locate Ms. Ishiyama and bring her here."

"And how long will that be sir?"

"I sent Jim to find her, he should be back within an hour."

"Then may I go and find something to do until then?"

"I guess, what might that be?"

"I have some music class homework due tomorrow that I need to finish."

"Why certainly, just bring it here. I'll have Sissi escort you to your room and back."

Damn. I thought that maybe he would let me go alone. That would give me time to think about my predicament. With Sissi coming along, I won't be able to think about anything.

"Okay sir." I say, and walk out. Sissi meets me in the outer office and walks along with me.

"Well Macas, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time? Oh right, as if I didn't already know."

"And how would you know about that?" I asked.

"Because I am his 'informant.' I tell my daddy anything I feel like. Usually it helps me do whatever I please."

"Then why did you give him bad information about me?"

"Because you ruined my chances of getting with Ulrich." She says with an indignant air.

"By doing…?"

"You locked their dorm room on Saturday, knowing I would try to get in there!"

"I did lock their dorm room. I had no idea what you had planned, I did it because I thought it would be a good idea."

"Liar." We arrive at my room, I run in and grab my homework, like promised, and head out again. On second thought, I also grabbed a notebook. Knowing Yumi, if she didn't want to be found she wouldn't be. I would probably be sitting in the principal's office for a couple of hours.

This would be a good time to do some drawing. I haven't done that in a while.

I walk with Sissi back to the principal's office in silence. After being told to wait for a while in the outer office, I sit down and begin my music homework. The 12 major scales were due today, but since I had just got there, the teacher decided to give me en extra day to do them. I work quickly and silently, this stuff comes easily to me.

Good thing mom signed me up for piano lessons while I was still young. I knew I would need some music skills later.

After finishing my homework, it was only 5:00. I have been sitting here for a half-an-hour, and I'm bored. I pull out my notepad, and start drawing. I draw a girl with pink hair. She has elf ears, with two short pink lines coming out from her eyes. She is actually quite pretty. I have no idea who she is; she's just a doodle. I stop for a second and admire my work.

Weird. It looks pretty close to Aelita, as if she was some kind of video game character. The hair is a little different, and she has elf ears, but other than that, it's a close resemblance.

I take my drawing and label it 'Aelita' just for fun. I'll show it to her later. On the back I start drawing again. Just some little symbol that came into my head. It's one circle in the middle, with two rings around it. The outer ring has four thicker lines coming out of it, one on top and three on the bottom. I label it X.A.N.A. Just another name that popped into my head. I just start doodling on another piece of paper. Random lines here and there… I stop and look at it.

Now that's creepy. It looks like Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich in a video game. Why am I imagining everybody in video games? Ulrich looks pretty cool as a samurai, the Geisha warrior looks good on Yumi, and Odd… a catboy seems appropriate for Odd.

I examine more of my doodle, they seem to be fighting some machines. That one looks like a crab, that one looks like a hornet, and that looks like a cannonball… This is weird. Usually my doodles don't look this detailed.

Another word just popped into my head. 'Lyoko.' I decide that this is what I'll call this little video game. Lyoko… it fits. I look at the clock. It's 5:45.

Wow, Yumi's pretty good. She managed to evade Jim for this long- oh wait there she is.

Yumi and Ulrich just stepped through the door of the office, followed closely by Jim.
