Whee! That was a really sort chapter before. I'll try and make up for it in this one. JEREMIE IS GOING TO ECOME A BIG CHARACTER! WOOHOO! I am so excited. He is always a side character in stories, but I am determined to make him a main in this one.

Ulrich, Odd, and William's Room

Odd came stumbling out of the shower with a smile on his face, his eyes closed, and humming a song. He didn't notice Ulrich and William sitting on his bed, so thinking he was alone, he untied the towel and threw it in the corner.

"TAKE COVER WILLIAM!" Ulrich hollered while he ducked under the bed. Odd's nuts was not something he wanted to see right now.

"YOU +#! PEEPING TOMS!" Odd screeched. The naked blond dove into the pile of clothes in the corner and quickly yanked on whatever he got his hands on.

William said from underneath his blanket, "Is it safe to come out now?" His hands were trembling and his voice sounded shaky.

Odd sighed and mumbled, "Yes Will, I'm not butt-bare anymore." He watched his usually brave and courageous friend cowering behind his pillow as he crawled out of the blanket and chuckled to himself. "Loser," he said to himself silently.

Odd leaped on his bed. "Anyway, why are you two in here? This is my study hall period I never go to. You guys have Algebra now. Did you guys ditch class!"

"Listen Odd, we need to talk," said Ulrich sternly. "It's about Amanda." Odd opened his mouth to speak but Ulrich cut him off. "No Odd, you shut up or we get Terra's friend Alana to give you a one way ticket to geeksville." Ulrich was talking about a girl who was known for spreading gossip that made one kid move to a different country. William told Ulrich and Odd about it on the plane.

Odd's eyes widened and sat down, "Continue."

William stood up and started shouting "Listen Odd, Amanda is not a good person! Just because she is pretty and has nice table manners automatically means their nice! She's a real devil on the inside. Terra told me when she overheard Amanda and Sissy…"

"Terra again? What make you so sure that everything she tells you is true? And she overheard my girlfriend and Sissy talking? So what is Amanda is Sissy's friend? It doesn't mean she is bad! And why would she hurt me! I'm her boyfriend if you forgot!"

"Listen Odd, this girl picked you up from the very outskirts of this damn school. You were a nobody. How can you explain her suddenly deciding to date you? Popular bitchy snobs like her don't date new guys without valid and mostly evil reasons! "

Ulrich decided to but in at this time trying to ease the tension of the fight. "The only reason we are here talking to you is because we don't want to see you get hurt! Why would Terra lie about Amanda anyway? Nobody has anything against her, and vice versa. I guess we just care about you, okay! I'm sorry if it is a sin, but that's what friends do."

Odd crossed his eyes. His eyes brightened up. "That's right Ulrich! What if somebody does have something against Terra! Thanks for helping me, you're a real pal!" He ran out the door and slammed it behind him. Ulrich and William heard the beeping of a number being punched into a cell phone become fainter and fainter.

"This is not what I wanted to happen!" Ulrich called out, frustrated. He fell back onto his bed and groaned.

William laughed, "I don't know if this'll help the situation or not, but Odd just ran out of the room with his shirt on backwards."

Techno Logic: London Computer Store

"Now this is our newest model," explained a store worker whose nametag said Tony. "The prototype was founded by an unnamed European computer expert. He or she sold it to London and now it is distributed all over England! The thing is, this model right here is the exact prototype that was sent. This one is not tested for viruses or anything, but the creator says it is clean."

Jeremie grinned like a little boy in a candy shop. "I'll take it!" he exclaimed. Thrusting his father's credit card into Tony's fat and greasy hands, he grabbed the box and hugged it.

"It is a total of $16,000 including tax. You sure you want it?" Tony asked. But Jeremie didn't hear. He was too busy running out the door with his new computer.

--------------------------

Jeremie's Dorm

Opening the box of his new computer with such care, Jeremie made sure not one crease was made in the box. When the packaging was finally peeled off, and each computer piece was opened, the blond pushed his glasses up and set to work.

First, Jeremie found the outlet of the north side of his room. He moved his bed to the east side, where the window was. At least he could wake up with the sun he thought. Then he shoved all of the drawers to the opposite side of the room. All that remained was half of the dorm as a huge empty space to put in his computer.

Jeremie grabbed the tower and plugged it into the outlet. He selected another main computer head and placed it along side the tower. When all of the memory cartridges were plugged in, he lugged the desk that held up the computer over it. It curved around his shinny chair in an L like formation. The desk had built in keyboards and mouse, so all that was left was the three different monitors and some of the radio disks and antennae.

The tall and lanky blond stood back to admire his work. Jeremie's new computer glinted in the light that came in from his window. He gasped; something was a bit familiar about his new computer. He couldn't place it, but something was very eerie about his super computer. Something was missing though, something that would bring memories flooding back. Jeremie shrugged it off. It couldn't have been anything important. But oh how wrong he was.

School Gardens

"Hey Alexa, I'm so glad you made it," said Odd, grinning. His giddiness from the night before was gone. "I have something to ask you."

"Alright then," Alexa replied, "shoot me."

Odd sat down on the bench that his lab partner was on. "I need you to tell me about Terra. Is she a bad kid? Did she do anything that might provoke somebody to hate her? Arch nemeses or something?"

Alexa giggled. "Nothing really, but then there was that thing in grade school." She saw Odd looking interested so she continued. "Terra was a real fighter in Eagle's Landing. But not like a bad kid, more of a protector. Yes, Mandy, Lisa, and Krissy were popular back then too and they would always tease other kids." Odd thought back to Ulrich and William for a minute, but stayed attentive to the story.

"One day, Terra couldn't take it anymore. She hated seeing Hannah and Alana, her two friends, being picked on. So she pounced on Amanda and Lisa and pummeled them to the ground. She started throwing punches, pinching, and biting. It was so funny! You see this short little brunette with braids in her hair pounce on these two girls with such fury. From that day on, all the teachers stood back around the girl that they never imagined would squish a fly. From that day on, all of her friends ditched her. Nobody liked her anymore. I remember one day when I was playing hide and seek with my friends. She was on the swings and she was crying. Before that I never thought how much having no friends felt like. I guess it was a real sacrifice just to stop bullying. Then Hannah and Alana became her friends in junior high. But before that, everybody hated her. That is what you need to know right?" Odd stood up and started running away. Alexa frowned and scratched her head. "Weirdo."

William, Ulrich, and Odd's dorm

Ulrich and William came bursting through the dorm. "I got your text message, you said it was urgent. What's up?"

Odd sat smiling with his arms and legs crossed on his bed. "I have proof that some people don't exactly like Terra in the least."

"Oh my god, this is never ending!" William exclaimed. Odd only laughed and shook his head in pity. "William William William. When will you learn that the fight is never over and is never won?" He jumped off the bed and sat in the beanbag chair, Leaving William to ponder over what he said in confusion.

"I don't understand?" said Ulrich. "Who doesn't like Terra?"

"Amanda and Lisa," said Odd bluntly. "Terra beat them up because they were picking on Lisa and Amanda."

William laughed, "If Terra wasn't my cousin I'd say that was pretty damn hot." Odd only laughed half heartedly.

"Don't you see Ulrich?" Odd continued. "The reason Terra made up this whole thing about Amanda being bad is to seek revenge for shoving her rep down the toilet! It was her own fault anyway!"

Ulrich thought that it could have been the other way around, but he didn't make a comment.

"So there you have it boys! Case closed. Terra is the evil revenge seeker as Amanda, my perfect little doll of a girlfriend triumphs! Of course she doesn't want to see anybody get hurt in the end. She just really loves me. See you later, I got to meet Amanda soon." Odd walked out of the room smiling.

"Hey Will?" Ulrich asked. "I'm thinking that maybe Terra likes Odd. Do you think she could have lied out of jealousy?"

William nodded, "She's mad, but she wouldn't lie I hope." He shrugged, "Well that's high school for ya."

The Next Day; Jeremie, Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, and Aelita's Science class

The fat, pudgy pig like teacher Mr. Snippet turned on the slideshow. "Hello class, today we will be taking noted of multi-cellular reproduction and division. Take out your notebooks and we will begin."

"Honk-sheww!" Odd whispered to Ulrich. The brunette stifled a laugh; there was the Odd he knew! Ulrich took out his notebook and pen and began writing. Suddenly he got hit in the head with a note from Jeremie. "Ulrich and Odd, come to my dorm at 8:00 tonight. I got to show you my new computer!" He showed it to Odd and he nodded. Ulrich winked to Jeremie and he smiled back.

"Okay class, start copying down what I say as you watch the show on the board." He flipped on the switch and a video of cells appeared on the screen. Crack! The lights went out. Somebody screamed. It sounded like Yumi. At first, Ulrich didn't know why, but then he looked at the projector. An image of an all too familiar sign that resembled a bull's eye faded into focus. Ulrich gulped and tapped Odd. The blonde's eyes widened. This was going to be a long year.

Ooo! The tension is building! Xana is back! Uh oh! Anyway, thanks to everybody that actually reads this. I know it is only select few, and it is a little saddening, but I just like to write this story. I'll try and update soon, I promise for my very little loyal fans
