Odd couldn't help but look at the new girl. She looked kind of familiar, but he couldn't place where he saw her. But besides that, she was cute.
"Odd, your staring might creep her out," Ulrich whispered.
"I'm not staring," Odd defensively replied.
"Sure…" Ulrich said, snickering. "Try talking to her after class, good buddy."
'That's a good idea,' Odd thought. He tried to wait, but the time ticked so slowly. He finally stopped thinking about it and laughed at the kids trying to beat Tianna. It made the time go by a lot faster. It was finally five minutes before the bell rang.
"Odd, let's see what you can do," Jim called.
'Oh great, I can embarrass myself instead,' he thought. He walked towards the springboard.
"You know, on second thought, just try something off the springboard. We don't want to have to take anyone else to the infirmary," Jim said.
Odd readied himself for the fall that was imminent.
Tianna watched the boy that had been staring at her. She figured he probably would fall and evidently injure himself. She mentally thought of him executing a perfect front flip and landing on his feet. That's when she heard clapping. The boy stood there perfectly balanced and Jim was saying something about a perfect front flip. 'Is it possible…do my powers work in this world?' she wondered. She glanced at her wrist. The henna turned silver and her hand disappeared. 'Awesome! I'll be able to fend of X.A.N.A. yet!' she thought. The bell rang and the students headed to change. She slipped on her jean mini-skirt and white tank top. She was tying her white sneakers when someone started talking to her.
"That's a cool tattoo. And I noticed it changes colors. How does it do that?" a pink haired girl asked.
Tianna glanced up. The girl also seemed familiar. 'What is it with these people that look familiar?' she thought. "You're asking me. I just got it a couple years ago in India and it won't stop changing colors."
"You've been to India? Is that where you're from?" the girl asked.
"Yeah, I've been there," she lied. "But I'm not from there."
"Oh, then were are you from?" she asked.
'Will you shut up already?' Tianna thought. "I'm from…Topeka."
"That's in Kansas, right?" the girl asked again.
"Uh-huh. Hey, I'd love to play twenty questions, but can we do this another time? I've got science class to get to," Tianna told her.
"Oh, before you go, my name's Aelita. What's yours?" the girl, Aelita, asked.
"Tianna," a fleeing Tianna called.
Tianna walked across the campus to the science building. She leafed through her one notebook on the way. The notebook contained notes and secrets of LYOKO and the place where she was from, the internet. She was flipping through the section of the digital sea when she heard someone approaching.
"Hey, Tianna! Wait up!" someone called.
The cute blond from gym came up beside her. She snapped her notebook shut and slid it between her laptop science book. "Do I know you?" she asked, slight annoyance in her voice.
"My name's Odd. You're really good at gymnastics," this boy, Odd, told her.
"Thanks, it's all from practice. You weren't too bad yourself," she cautiously replied.
"Actually, I didn't know that I could do that. So, what class do you have next?" he asked, apparently not getting the hint to leave.
"Science," she replied.
"Cool, so do I. Want to sit together?" he asked, hope in his eyes.
"Sure," she answered. His eyes lit up even more.
When they reached the classroom, Tianna took a seat next to Odd. A couple more people walked in. Then the girl that she had met in the locker room, Aelita, came in, followed by a blond boy and a brown haired boy. Aelita and the brown haired boy looked familiar too. 'Okay, what is up with this place?' she wondered in her head. She absentmindedly pulled out her notebook and randomly looked at a page. 'That's it! These people look like the people I met on LYOKO! But is that possible?' She scrutinized Odd, Aelita, and the brown haired boy. They did look like those that she had met. The brown haired one sat across the isle from Odd.
"Hey Ulrich, have you met Tianna?" Odd asked.
"No, I don't think so." He looked past Odd. "Hi Tianna, I'm Ulrich, one of Odd's friends."
"Hi," she replied. 'Come to think of it, their voices sound exactly the same as the people on LYOKO,' she thought. 'I have to see if they are them, but how?'
"Oh yeah and this is Jeremy and Aelita," Odd told her, gesturing to the people behind him.
"Hi," she said. Jeremy nodded and Aelita still looked miffed at her, probably from Tianna's attitude earlier.
"Alright class, settle down now," the teacher, Mrs. Hertz, said. "Now then, you all know that we have our chapter thirteen test today. And, as you all know, you are free to go to the library after you finish." She began to pass out the tests.
Tianna glanced down at the test set in front of her. It was about an in-depth study of Newton's laws. She stifled a yawn. 'How much easier could this be?' she wondered as she penciled in the answers. When she finished she checked the clock. Only five minutes had passed! She shrugged and went up to the teacher's desk.
"Do you have a question?" Mrs. Hertz asked as she pushed up her glasses.
"No, I finished." Tianna held out the test.
This brought a collective amount of stares. The teacher looked at her funny when she took the test. She flipped through it. "My goodness; everything's correct!" she exclaimed.
Tianna smiled. "Where's the library?"
Odd watched Tianna with curiosity and awe. 'She's amazing!' he thought. 'She's pretty, smart, athletic…she's perfect! Maybe if I finish my test I can catch her in the library…' He looked at his test. 'Maybe I'll just catch her at lunch…' he thought after reading the first question. He had only thought of a colorful answer for number one by the time by the time Jeremy was done with his whole test.
Tianna flipped through the books, not really paying attention to most of the titles. She was thinking about the program she needed to design so she could get to LYOKO without going to the factory. She was actually working on another program that would make her immune to X.A.N.A.'s attacks, but she needed to get to LYOKO and get some information. She finally gave up looking through books and sat down at one of the tables. She pulled out her laptop from her schoolbag and opened her program. She flipped through it until she found the page she was looking for, the one with all her latest data. She started typing and fixing her program. She was almost done with it when someone tapped her on her shoulder. She closed her laptop and shut her notebook instantly.
"Little jumpy there, are we?" Odd teasingly said.
She looked at him. "I'm working on something."
"You sound like Einstein," Odd joked.
"Who?" Tianna asked, clearly not getting it.
"That's what we call Jeremy, the one who sat behind us in science," Odd explained.
"Oh," Tianna said, putting her stuff back in her schoolbag.
"So what are you working on?" Odd asked, sitting next to her.
"A program," she replied.
"You and Jeremy would probably get along good; he likes designing programs too. But they're probably different then the ones you make," Odd told her.
"I'm sure," she replied, a double meaning behind that statement.
"So what do you have next?" he asked.
She mentally scanned her schedule. "I think I have math next."
"So do I!" he exclaimed, then was shushed by the librarian.
'Great,' she thought. "Huh, imagine that."
The loudspeaker cackled to life. "Due to an explosion in the ninth grade science room, the lab rats have escaped. Classes are canceled for the rest of the day and students are advised to stay in their rooms and leaving only to use the lavatories and to eat."
"Well, that gives me some time to work on my program," Tianna said to herself. Suddenly, she was hit with a major headache. She rubbed her brow. An image flashed in her mind; the eye of X.A.N.A. and a picture of the activated tower.
"Are you okay?" Odd asked, concern showing in his voice.
"I've gotta go, I'll catch you at lunch or something," she replied, slinging her bag on her shoulder and heading out the door. 'Time to give my program a trial run,' she thought.
Not much fluff in this chapter. It'll come up in some of the next chapters. Please review; this is my first story and I want to know how I did! And also, sorry for any big words; the computer gives me options to change the word into something better, and I like long words! XD
