Hello everyone! It's me again posting Chapter 2, this one is a bit longer so I hope you enjoy it. :D Please read and review!

Chapter 2. Vivian

Aelita's P.O.V.

"I'm telling you Jeremie, I know her from somewhere." I pleaded with him to believe me but he wasn't budging. Sometimes I wish he wasn't so stubborn.

"Aelita come on, think about what you're saying for a minute, you believe that you know this random girl, who's like 14. Okay, fair enough, I'd believe you if it wasn't for the glaring fact that you were trapped in a virtual world longer than she has been alive! Aelita, let's try to think a little rational here!" He said raising his voice a little, not out of anger but out of frustration.

"I am thinking rationally Jeremie, it could be one of X.A.N.A.'s tricks!" Okay, maybe I wasn't thinking rationally, but I really was telling the truth about feeling like I knew her.

" X.A.N.A.? Really Aelita? We defeated X.A.N.A. years ago! Aelita, are you sure you're feeling o.." Just then there was a knock at the door and it was Jim asking to come in. I let him in and the new girl was with him, what a coincidence!

"Belpois! What are you doing in here? You know it is strictly forbidden to be in the girls dormitory, if you weren't dating this girl I'd tell Delmas right now but if you leave now I'll let you off the hook." And with that Jeremie left me with Jim and the new girl. "Miss Stones, I'd like you to meet Miss Valentino, your new roommate, there wasn't anyone left in her grade and you were the only room with a vacancy left, I trust you won't kill each other in your sleep, now if you'll excuse me I have more important matters to tend to and no, I'd rather not talk about them." Normally I would have laughed at Jim's overused catchphrase of sorts, but I too had more important matters to address. And they were now standing right in front of me! We stood there in silence looking directly into each other's eyes, until she moved her suitcases and threw them on the empty bed across from mine.

"So, like are you a psychopath or something? Do I need to sleep with one eye open hoping that you won't choke me out in the middle of the night or what?" Did she just ask if I was a psychopath? I'm obviously not! "Um hello? Are you alive? Is there any brain activity up there? You never told me your name. If we're gonna bunk together we might as well at least get acquainted with each other." Is this freshman really asking if I have any brain activity going on? Why, I'm the smartest girl in the school! "Guess not, look when you want to speak up, I'll be here, I've got nothing better to do." And with that she laid on her bed and closed her eyes.

"Aelita, and..no I'm not a psychopath, hey do I know you from somewhere?" I snapped out of my trance and asked the girl.

"Vivian, and no, should I? Because if I met you before three years ago then don't bother because I have one killer case of amnesia."

"Amnesia?" I looked at her arm and noticed an eye of X.A.N.A. tattooed on it. "Um..nice tattoo." I said weakly, I was ready to run.

"What, this? Yeah it was there after I came out of my coma, hey why do you look all creeped out suddenly? Shouldn't I be the one still creeped out?" She chuckled but I wasn't, why did she have that tattoo?"

"Sorry, its just that your tattoo reminds me of someone I knew." I managed to choke out.

"Judging by the look on your face, I take it you two weren't very friendly with each other." She was right. "What did they try to murder you or something?" She chuckled again but my face only grew whiter.

"You aren't too far off." I muttered grimly.

"Damn! That's dark, you have to tell me more!" She wouldn't believe me even if I tried to explain everything to her, hell, she'd probably think I'm more insane than she already thinks but I could get some answers out of her.

"Fine I'll tell you, but you have to tell me more about you first." I demanded sternly.

"I assume you mean my life story? Well then you're in for a treat! I don't remember anything before waking up at a hospital in France, the doctors told me I was in a coma for years and that before the quote unquote accident that caused my coma, I was homeless with no parents. They set me up to live with a foster family, but they really didn't care about me, hell the only thing they gave me was their last name. I really didn't fit in anywhere so I developed this style, people call it goth or emo, but I call it individualistic! Anyway, after getting kicked out of all my other schools, my foster parents dropped me off at this dump to fend for myself, the reason I looked scared back in the mess hall was because I was already getting death threats from people because of my looks." Wow this girl was sincere, and it's kinda sad, to think that I was ready to run from her a minute ago because I somehow thought she was one of X.A.N.A.'s spectres. "What about you Aelita, whats your story?

"Look, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you everything." I sighed.

"Oh yeah? Try me."

"All I'll say is I haven't had the greatest life either, maybe one day I'll tell you everything just..not now. If you'd like you can hang with me and my friends, we're not exactly popular but we aren't hated, who knows it may get rid of the death threats." I chuckled

"Th...thanks, you might actually be the first one to show me some hospitality around here. And it's cool, I have ways of getting info out of people!" She joked. "Oh, by the way, if you know anything about this tattoo or, anything relating to my past, I'd really like to know."

"I know a few things about that tattoo, but I'll have to tell you tomorrow after I talk it over with my friends, besides it's way too late and we both need rest" I replied yawning.

"You're right, I'm exhausted! Can't wait to meet everyone else." She said closing her eyes once more. I pulled out my laptop to turn in my latest assignment but it wouldn't start up as its been so long since I had used it that I'd forgotten my password. Just then Vivian came over and started typing away at the keyboard and launched some hidden password recovery program hidden located deep within the computer and I sat there with an obvious look of shock on my face. "Did I mention I'm sort of a genius too?" She smiled while laughing. There certainly was more to this mystery girl than I had originally thought.

"Wow, you really are interesting." I said still shocked

"Why thank you! Anyway, you never answered my question."

"And what would that be?"

"Do I need to be worried about you going psycho and choking me to death in my sleep?" She laughed once again. I could tell she was only being half-serious but I decided to indulge her cheeriness.

"Maybe, it depends, are you a computer program hell bent on destroying the world?" I replied with a half-serious tone.

"My my, you've caught on to my little plan Aelita." My eyes widened. "Jeez calm down! I was only joking! Now I'm really curious as to why you're traumatized, anyway I'm going to sleep. See ya in the morning." I let out a deep breath, tomorrow was a big day, I plan to take her to the factory and run a few tests in the scanners. With or without Jeremie's permission to restart the supercomputer. I had to find out some answers. I looked at the clock which was surprisingly intact from my fist slamming it this morning. It read 10:30, it was time for bed, and I was pretty tired. I finished turning in my assignment and crawled to my comfortable bed and fell into a blissful sleep.

Well guys there's chapter 2! Um chapter 3 will probably be up tomorrow, it depends on how much free time I have left after school, and if by some miracle I don't have school tomorrow chapter 4 might be up as well. Please leave a review! Any feedback is welcomed! :D
