Hey guys! I know I'm taking forever to update and stuff, but things aren't exactly how they were 2 years ago when I had so much free time up the ass. Ugh. It sucks becoming an adult! Lol. I've been so tired, and the pollen is really murdering my allergies. Sucks so much. But anyways, I'm sorry for the lack of action in the beginning, but don't worry it's coming. :) Enough of my blabbing, here's the chapter! :)
Chapter 4
Kaitlyn's POV
I woke up in sullen silence. I could hear the sound of birds chirping in the distance, and the sun was shining directly in my window. It actually seemed like a pleasant day.
I reached over to the night stand next to my bed and put my glasses on. What was now blurry up close was now clear. Ugh, the struggles of being far-sighted.
Slowly slinking out of bed; I pulled the covers off me, and went to my closet. I threw on my usual pink turtle neck and khaki skinny pants, and slipped on my pink shoes. As I walked up to my door, and ran my fingers through my tangled long blonde hair to make it look like I at least made an effort to get up out of bed.
I walked downstairs to see Aelita, Jeremie, and my uncle sitting at the table.
"Well well! Look who finally decided to get up!" Uncle Michael said, as Jeremie and Aelita turned around and looked at me.
I reached under my glasses and rubbed my eyes. "Yupp yupp.." I said. "Be glad I'm still alive at this point." I said, as my mind quickly jumped to Peter. My somewhat good mood then sank.
My uncle then got up from the table, and went upstairs. I went over to the pantry and poured myself a bowl of cereal. I picked my bowl up and got a spoon out of the drawer and went and sat by Aelita.
I soaked into my thoughts, while eating my cereal. When all of a sudden..
"Well what do you think, Aelita?" Jeremie asked.
Aelita shrugged. "It's up to you Jeremie, but personally I think Kaitlyn would be good for it. She catches onto stuff quick."
I snapped from my thoughts, and looked up from my cereal. "Wait what?" I asked. "I heard my name." I said.
Aelita looked over at me, then Jeremie. "Go ahead Jeremie, ask her."
I continued looking at them, knowing I had a lost look on my face. "Ask me what?"
Jeremie hesitated. "Well Kaitlyn, if you're up for learning about it and stuff... I wanted to ask if you maybe wanted to be a second runner of the super computer."
I almost choked on my cereal. "Wait what? But why? You're good at it as it is. Why would you need a second person?" I asked.
"Well XANA's been quiet lately, which is strange. But because just in case XANA possesses me or something. He's done it many times before, and the others were always lost on Lyoko. So I was thinking if we could get a second person, it wouldn't be so much on everyone's shoulders." Jeremie explained.
I wasn't so sure about this. I'm not much of a computer nerd. But I'm willing to try and learn something new.. I mean, what could it hurt? I've watched some of the stuff he does on it, and it didn't look THAT hard...
"So Kaitlyn, what do you say? Wanna give it a shot?" Jeremie said, smiling with satisfaction.
I sighed. "Sure, why the heck not? What could it hurt?" I said, taking the last bite of my cereal. I took my bowl to the sink.
"Awesome!" Jeremie said, happily. "When did you want to start learning?" He asked.
I thought about it. "Tomorrow? I guess?" I said. I just needed one more day to myself. Just one more day to clear my head.
Jeremie nodded. "Alright, sounds good to me. We'll go to the factory around noon tomorrow."
I was a little blown away. I never thought Jeremie saw the potential in me to run something so prestigious.
"What makes you think I can do something like this, Jeremie?" I asked, out of curiousity.
Jeremie walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Because you're my sister. I believe in you, Kaitlyn. You're a Belpois, what CAN'T you do?" He giggled.
I smiled. "True." I giggled a little.
In a way, I was kind of excited for this. It would take my mind off a lot at least. And I could get some bonding time in with Jeremie which I haven't gotten lately, because I've been sulking in my feelings for the past month or so. But all in all, my feelings for Peter were kind of fading away, which I guess is a good thing? But anyways, I can't wait to see what's in store for the Super Computer tomorrow
