A/N Sorry for taking for so long to get this chapter or at least it seemed so for me. I wanted to write this chapter but schoolwork was detemined to cut into the time I'd usually write. I had a huge history test (70 questions) and then an essay. For English, I had to write a hero's journey using Greek mythology. I posted it, but in my opinion it's crap. I couldn't write more than seven pages and it had to be double spaced. I kind of bended that by having it 1.5 spaced and spreading out the margins. Anywayz…

Dedication: I'd like to dedicate this chapter to JK Rowling. A lot of people say this but JK Rowling's books got me into reading which got me more into my imagination which got me flipping channels because there wasn't anything really on which last winter break I was flipping channels and came across Code Lyoko (an episode in season 2, I forget which one it was) which got me hooked on the series which got me to thinking Aelita was alone on Lyoko for ten years because Xana trapped Franz Hopper and she was alone which made me daydream during school (a lot) and other places, which led me to write this story and publish it. Wow, so if you think about it JK Rowling led me to have, now, a huge interest in writing. Also, other "which's" would be by daydreaming I failed Geometry and now I'm retaking it, but you know…

Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko, never did, and I'd never say never will cause hey you never know(I have a huge doubt about it though). I own Xenon Smith and this plot for this entire story.

The trip back to Kadic seemed much longer than it actually was. Odd and Xenon didn't talk to each other. Odd thought about how much he had hurt Xenon. One for his drunken threat of striking her which hurt her and he hadn't even touched her. Two, Xenon had seen Sissi and him kissing. Dammit. Odd thought. I didn't even think. I didn't tell her that I had sex with Sissi. But if I had told her, she probably wouldn't even be here. That fact she will hopefully never know. I'll tell Ulrich not to even mention it, not even to Yumi. Odd sighed and put his head in his hands. I shouldn't keep this secret. She might find out sooner or later.

Xenon looked out the window of the taxi. She told herself not to look at Odd. I'm not doing this so he'll stay. Xenon said to herself, trying to convince herself she didn't have feelings for him. It wasn't working. I'm going back to Kadic because… Xenon tried to think of a fake reason why she was doing this. I'm going back because Aelita and everybody need help on Lyoko. She stole a quick glance at Odd. He had his face in his hands. Xenon thought about comforting him and say just give me time. She even moved her hand a few inches from her lap, but stopped herself and continued to look out the window.

They arrived at Kadic at six at night. Darkness loomed over the grounds. Odd offered to carry her suitcase, but Xenon was stubborn and carried it herself. Odd walked her to her room. Xenon ignored Odd as he tired to make a conversation on the way. She slammed the door in his face, not even saying 'bye.' Odd sighed and walked up to his room. Odd was surprised to see Ulrich there.

"How'd it go?" Ulrich asked, looking up from his history book which he had been studying for an upcoming test.

"I don't know." Odd said as he walked in and sat on his bed. "I got her to come back, but she won't talk to me at all."

"Did you tell her about sleeping with Sissi?" Ulrich asked.

"No, I forgot." Ulrich rolled his eyes in doubt. "Really, I did. But I don't think I'll tell her."

"That'll come back to bite you in the ass later."

"I know, but I'd rather deal with it later then telling her and not having her here."

Odd got up early and waited for Xenon to come out of her room. Xenon came out at 5:45 yawning.

"Hey Xenon." Odd said, hopeful that she'd talk to him. Xenon stared at Odd for a second thinking. She remembered what he did to her and that she wasn't talking to him. She walked past him. He followed her till she went into the girl's shower room and sighed.

At breakfast, Xenon continued not to talk to Odd. Xenon sat next to Aelita and across from Jeremie. Odd sat next Jeremie, across from Aelita. Odd noticed Aelita and Jeremie weren't talking to each other. He wanted to ask what their problem was but decided against it. They might ask what was his and Xenon's problem was. Ulrich walked into the cafeteria with Yumi.

"Wow, who died?" Yumi asked jokingly. The four looked at her and then looked back at their food and Jeremie looked at his computer. Yumi looked at Ulrich question on her face. Ulrich shook his head, motioning don't ask anything.

The whole day was in silence. Odd, the life of the party, was quiet and didn't make any jokes. Yumi and Ulrich who were usually quiet seemed to take Odd's role. Ulrich didn't know what Jeremie and Aelita's problem was but planned to ask him later.

During six period, history, was boring. Odd was too busy about how he could get Xenon to talk to him that he didn't even draw. An office aid walked in, cutting into the even lasting boring lecture on Napoleon.

"Yes?" Mr. Fumet asked. The aid gave him a yellow note and left. My. Fumet glanced at who it was for. "Miss Smith." Xenon looked up at him, wondering what she had done. She got up, got the note, and left. Xenon walked to the office. The sectary greeted her.

"Mr. Delmas is waiting for you." She said, and then directed her head back to her computer which she was playing solitaire. Xenon walked to his door and knocked.

"Come in." Xenon walked in. "Ah, Miss Smith, I wanted to talk to you." Xenon sat in the chair in front of his desk.

"Is there something wrong?" Xenon asked.

"No, I wanted to talk to you about your test scores that you took for last semester's finals." He said. Xenon looked at him to continue. "You're test scores are unusual." He paused. "On all of your science, history, and math tests you received a twenty out of twenty and on your other tests you received a nineteen out of twenty. You're average on your finals is 19.6. This school hasn't produced these kinds of scores in its history. The only student who came close to be close to you in Jeremie Belpois who had an average of 19.1 score on his finals."

"What does this matter?" Xenon said, half of her mind on Odd.

"Your scores are fairly high and--"

"Are you accusing me of cheating?" Xenon asked, slightly angry.

"No, I'm not." Xenon didn't relax when he said this. "I looked into your profile after I saw your test scores which I didn't do when you first transferred here." He opened a folder in front of him. "It says you were home schooled till you were twelve. Then you went to junior high school. You had a grade point average of 100. This file also says that in eighth grade you took tests to skip grades. They allowed you to skip to twelve. You did. Last year, you took the ES bac and you passed with jury's congratulations. You could have gotten into any university in France." He stared at Xenon for a moment. "But you didn't."

I don't need this right now. Xenon thought. Why does this matter?

"Instead you went to the grade level that someone your age would usually be in which is eleven. I was wondering why are you did so." He stared at Xenon waiting for answer.

"Why does it matter?" Xenon asked. She was annoyed. She had enough to deal with right now. Though she did expect sooner or later that this would happen. "I mean, sir, maybe I want to be normal and go through high school instead of going to a university when I'm sixteen. Ever think of that?" Inside she felt an anger bubbling up. She wanted, always wanted, to be normal. She tried to different and used her intelligence to gain attention, but she never wanted that. She never had the chance to be normal.

"I understand wanting to fit in with your peers, Miss Smith. You had actually still have to get into any university in France and a good chance at any other universities. But you have an opportunity that some teens wish they could be granted--"

"Well, this is my life, my decision, I don't have to do what everyone tells me to do you know!" Xenon yelled and stood up. "Why does everyone think they can control my life?!" Sadness was embedded in her voice with anger. She walked over to the door, opened it, walked out, and slammed it behind her. The sectary jumped and click out of her solitaire game. She looked at Xenon and she ran by.

"Miss Smith!" Mr. Delmas called as he walked fast after her. He gave up as he saw her run out of the office and onto the grounds. He looked at his sectary. "Get back to work." He barked at her.

Xenon ran across campus and into the park. She wanted to get away, but not as dramatic as she had two days ago. She headed for the Hermitage and didn't stop her pace till it was in view. She knew it was an easy target area. One, Odd or any member of the gang could guess that's where she'd go when she was upset like Aelita would. Two, Xana could attack her there and with no one around he had a high change that he could kill her. Xenon didn't dwell on it as she walked passed the threshold.

Xenon walked up the stairs and into the faded pink room. She remembered the day near Halloween where it had been her first time back at the hermitage since she was six months old. Sadness erupted inside of her that day. She remembered Odd, shirtless, on top of her. Sadness and the thought of Odd made it unbearable to stay in the room. She walked out and ran into someone.

"Xenon, are you alright?" Aelita asked. Her hands were behind to brace herself from the fall. She got up and helped Xenon up.

"No." Xenon said. A tear fell from her left eye.

"What happened between you and Odd?" Aelita asked.

"Something over winter break." Xenon said simply. "What about you and Jeremie?"

"Something over winter break." Aelita said echoing Xenon. Xenon sat on the floor of the hallway and Aelita copied her.

"You first." Xenon said wanting to listen to someone else's problems rather than tell her own.

"No, you."

"That bad?" Xenon questioned. "Mine's probably as bad or worse." Xenon took in a deep breath. "Ok, on New Year's Eve Odd got drunk--"

"Odd drunk?" Aelita asked. "Ulrich told us, after Odd's sixteenth birthday, that Odd can be a mean drunk."

"Anyways, I took him to his room because he was wasted. He thought I wanted sex, but I told him I didn't. He threatened to strike me. I—I---" Xenon took in a shuddering breath and Aelita wrapped an arm around her. "I'm protective of myself. I hate when anyone hits me. I wasn't, you know, abused growing up; I don't know why I act this way. I suppose it's because at the age of four was my virtualization to Lyoko. I mean I grew up with Xana shooting at me with blocks and crabs and stuff. But something about Odd threatening to strike me affect me a lot."

"That's because you love him." Aelita said.

"I ran from him, but I thought I should look after him till at least Ulrich was there, but when I got back to his room…" Xenon's throat choked up. "He was with Sissi. Usually, when he was around me he respected that I wasn't ready. But he was past the point with Sissi at that moment."

"Remember he was drunk." Aelita said trying to smooth Xenon's pain.

"I know, but I'm still hurt by it." Xenon sniffled. "So what about you and Jeremie?" Xenon asked as if her confession never happened.

"Um…me and Jeremie?" Aelita asked. It was clear Aelita didn't want to go there. "It's nothing. So about you and Odd--"

"Uh-uh." Xenon said stopping her. "What happened?" Aelita sighed in defeat.

"Well, like Odd, Jeremie and I got drunk--" Aelita started, but stopped because Xenon had snorted in disbelief.

"Jeremie? Drunk?" Xenon asked. Aelita nodded. "Did hell freeze over?" Aelita gave her a look. "It's just I never imagined Jeremie drunk. Anyways, what happened?"

"Well…"

(Flash back)

Aelita woke up and a headache came. I can't believe I got drunk. She thought as she got up and rubbed her temples. This isn't even my house. I don't even remember last night. She looked around. She didn't see the guest room of white, but a room painted blue. Please, tell me I didn't fall asleep in someone else's room. They've done a lot for me.

She tried getting a better look at her surroundings. She saw a desk with a computer, a dresser with nothing on top, and a picture of Einstein with his tongue stuck out. Oh my god. Jeremie's room. Aelita moved her head slowly to look right next to her.

"Oh my god!" Aelita yelled. She was repelled by what she saw; she fell to the ground and dragging the blanket with her. She had been next to Jeremie, naked. She desperately tried to cover herself while Jeremie woke up by Aelita's yell and the breeze that came over him. Aelita noticed he wasn't wearing anything, looked away, and made sure the blanket was secure around her. Jeremie settled with covering himself with a sheet. Jeremie and Aelita both blushed in embarrassment.

(End flash back)

"Well, I suppose your is more dramatic, but…" Aelita said. "Me and Jeremie aren't having a fight, rather we're just too embarrassed by it and we can't get passed it. So, we're just quiet all together."

"Yeah." Xenon said. They sat there for a while just thinking. "I don't know if I'll ever get past that Odd kissed Sissi." Xenon sighed.

"I know, but eventually you will."

A/N I'm taking French one right now and we learned about the grading system for the bac and etc. So, I actually knew, sort of, what I was talking about. By Monday, nov. 13, I'll probably have chapter 14. I have a four day weekend. And when I do go to school this week, it's half days. So, I practically go to school for no reason. But enough about me. REVIEW!
