I think I…

Title: I think I…
Pairings: Odd/Aelita
Squeamish: Nothing that'll totally blow. Only except that Odd's a ladykiller and a bit of a pervert.
Rating: Currently rated "T" for suggestive themes, choice of words and words altogether.
Dedication: No one in particular, unless you want the story to be dedicated to yourself, please review or send me a PM concerning it. So right now this story is currently dedicated to the readers.
Author's Note: This is totally AU. No super computer or anything. It's solely about drama and whatnot. I hope you like it and encourage me as I write this story, even though it's not highly recognized. In this chapter, since Aelita is originally from Japan (how'd I get that? Odd said she was in Italy (or Sweden) and Yumi said she was from Japan. If Aelita was in Japan there would be more than enough reason for her and Yumi to actually have a conversation, you know?
Summary: Odd's the all-time player at his boarding school and everyone knows it. Even though he's got it good with all the pretty little girls in his school (adding the young, weakly informed and naïve teachers to the list) Odd's still not happy with the progress he's getting with all of the relationships. Recently, his mother's sister had visited Japan and got married to a widowed man and gained a daughter in the process. Thinking that her new family should get accustomed with the rest of the family, Odd's aunt decides to move back to France (I think that's where Lyoko takes place at) to introduce them to Odd and his family. Complications arise and jealously flares. What will they do next?
Odd – 16
William – 17
Yumi – 17
Ulrich – 16
Jeremy – 16
Aelita – 15
Previously on chapter four: "What else does –kun mean?" "It's also used for male pets." He asked the question and she supplied the answer, but why does he seem to find that notation interesting? Aelita seems to find nothing wrong with it.
Words to watch out for:Ano is the Japanese term for "um"
Chapter 5: Maybe
Did she actually say that? Did she? Odd couldn't believe his ears. Well, could he believe it in the first place? Well yeah, he could believe his ears. With these ears, he heard the sweet pleasures of…wait; this wasn't the time to be thinking about that, no matter how much it could relate to what's going on right now. He shook his head and blinked. He couldn't get sidetracked, he was going to show his cousin the dormitories and meet up with Ulrich, Yumi and probably Jeremy.
"Uhh…yeah we're here," Odd mumbled, heading for the parkway. Aelita nodded, he guessed that she was confused, but if she had his mind, then she wouldn't be so confused. Odd didn't want to explain to her, she would probably grow wary of him and not trust him with stuff. Plus, she could probably be beneficial in the future, like…bailing him out of class so he can sleep some more. Yep, that would be awesome. He didn't even have to bother with explaining to Jim on where he was during class. Aelita looked like one of those good girls that he could easily take advantage of.
Did he have a conscience? No, not for people he recently met, no. Even if they were suddenly family, Odd didn't really care. Well, yes he did care, but it only varied for different people. Like Ulrich, Yumi and Jeremy, well not so much Jeremy. Odd laughed, he kid, he kid, Jeremy is equally important to him as Yumi and Ulrich were. Wow, he was talking to himself and actually having fun!
'I should do this more often,' he thought to himself. He turned slightly, a group of giggling girls heading their way. He smirked; let's see if Aelita can stir up a little jealousy. "Hey Aelita, don't get out, lemme get the door for you."
"Um…okay"
Odd grinned and popped out of the driver's side, sliding across the hood of his convertible over to Aelita. Clutching the warm metal handle, the blonde pulled the door open, offering his hand to the pink-haired girl. She stared at his hand for a moment before looking at him.
"Like I said before Princess, I don't bite," Odd reassured her. Aelita glanced up at him with her eyes dashing from his hands to his smiling face. Odd could tell that she was already uncomfortable being around him, but that would change, judging by his personality, Odd thought that he was a pretty easy to get along with. Well…if you exclude Sissi…
"Okay." He heard Aelita murmur. He grinned and clasped her hand firmly in his hands. The blonde Italian watched the pink-haired girl ease herself out of the passenger side, gripping her hand tightly. Backing away from the door, he slammed the door, Aelita's hand still in his clutch.
"Oh God. Naomi, it's Odd." Bingo. Odd glanced up at the group of girl goggling him, a few of them glaring at him angrily, but the majority was more of the earlier expression rather than the latter. He smiled at the girl's and sported Aelita's hand. He could feel his cousin's confused stare at the back of his head, but he didn't care, it'll be over soon. He caught the stare of the middle girl, her long black hair brushed back, parts of her hair pulled back, leaving a lump in the middle of her head. Her glasses were propped neatly on her nose; her slanted but cute brown eyes were outlined thinly by black eyeliner. She wore a slim-fitting tank top partnered up with a jean skirt and a pair of black leggings.
'Naomi is so cute today,' Odd thought in his mind, chuckling. He glanced at Aelita and headed towards the girls, their fingers intertwined. The blonde felt Aelita shuffle uncomfortably, falling back behind him. Odd squeezed her hand reassuringly.
'Just wait a little longer. I just wanna see what Naomi's gonna say. Just hold on a lil' more.' He waved at the group of girls with his free hand. A devious smirk plastered on his lips.
"Yo whassup, Naomi and group of Naomi," Odd said cheerfully. The girls around Naomi stared at Odd then at Aelita, a distasteful sneer on one of the girl's lips. Among the girls in that group, someone coughed a bit loudly, the girls chattering rapidly. Naomi smiled slightly and glanced at Aelita, cold and accusing they were. Aelita returned her glance, a bit intimidated by the Vietnamese girl's glare.
"Hey Odd! What's up?" Naomi asked happily, easing her way out of her group of chattering girls. Odd grinned widely and rubbed the back of his head with his free hand. He wrung his hand free out of Aelita's loose grasp and placed his arm around her shoulders, tugging her close to him.
"Just showing this beautiful girl around campus, she's gonna be boarding once her papers get fixed and stuff and then after that, she and I are gonna check out Tropical Café and grab us some smoothies," Odd said winking at Naomi. The girls in her group stared at each other, their eyes widening just a bit, a few putting their hands against their mouth to muffle a 'O M G, I told you' which Odd heard perfectly well.
"Oh…oh really? That's pretty cool of you…for umm…for you to do." Naomi said stuttering over her words. She glanced behind her, the girls expectantly waiting for her to say some more. Odd cocked up an eyebrow and stared at Naomi, silently daring her to say some more, to say something else that'll prove to him that she's even more jealous than she is right now.
"Well, see you later Odd! C'mon girls," Naomi said hurriedly. Her group of girls rushing past Odd and Aelita, one even happened to 'bump' into her before rushing off to the chattering girls. Aelita rubbed her arm, staring back at the girls and back at Odd. Odd shrugged his shoulders, his arm still around Aelita.
"Don't worry about them, they're just jealous that's you're hanging out with the most sought-out bachelor in the whole entire in the school." Odd said pulling her into a walk.
"Anou…Odd-kun, can you please take your arm off of me?" Odd heard Aelita mumble under his arm. So the girl was playing hard to get, huh? That was kinda' weird, but Odd decided that all girls were weird and this one was probably crazed in the head or something.
'I mean, come on! A sexy Italian blonde draping his arm around your shoulders is something every girl would want. Maybe she's testing me' Odd thought to himself.
Author's Note:
Oh jeez, an additional 100 hits on the last chapter boosted up the story hits! Wow, that's amazing. I feel so tingly inside that people are checking out the story and/or reading it, even if they don't review. Wow! I feel so happy. Anyways, I don't really know how Naomi's personality is like so I'm molding her into what I think she acts like. So, if you have any information on how she acts like, then please don't hesitate to tell me otherwise.
On another side note, this is a pretty short chapter, but I don't care 'cause the other chapter, by them time I haveabout three plus reviews, I probably will have it finished.
So, I want four reviews please. I don't care which chapter.
