"Um, hi. I'm Maya," she said a little nervously.

"Maya," Emily said as she walked over to her and stuck out her hand, "I know I'm a little late but welcome to Kadic."

She smiled and shook Emily's hand, "Thanks." Oh god what else do I say? Maya thought, I didn't even think I'd make it this far!

"Delmas told me that you're two years younger but you're actually in my class. That must have been a lot of work you did when you were younger," Emily said trying to make a conversation.

"Y-yeah. But it was worth it," She smiled.

"Have you gotten used to the teachers? I'm not sure how many days you've had actual classes but I'm sure the classes are about the same as from America right?"

"Mr. Delmas told you where I was from?" She asked.

"Yeah, he told me a few things when I went to see him which was less than an hour ago. I've been cleaning my side since."

"Oh, and um, yeah the classes are about the same. I-its just scary having to be in a room with people older than me."

Emily smiled sympathetically at her, "Don't worry everyone in our class is actually kinda nice. Damn which reminds me, have you made any new friends yet?"

Maya smiled, "Yeah I have actually. A few kids in our class and some outside of class."

"Really! That's great," She sounded genuinely proud of her, "Who though?"

"Yumi Ishiyama and William Dunbar from our class. Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Robbia, Aelita Stones and Jeremy Belpois from the 9th grade."

"Wait. You're friends with Odd? A-and Ulrich. AND WILLIAM?"

"Uh um well yeah. Odd was the first person I met then Ulrich and well Mr. Delmas said I have to tutor him and well I actually knew William before. See he went to my old school before he came here-"

"You and William were friends before?" Emily said cutting her off.

"Um, yeah kinda."

"Oh well um, h-has Ulrich said anything about me?"

"Well he told me you're really nice," Maya said truthfully, "And I know you and Odd had well a thing," She blushed.

Emily laughed, "I wouldn't call it that. Just a warning though, he's not the best person to go out with."

Maya smiled, "Actually I think he's nice."

With that being said Emily took Maya out and showed her around the campus, Maya was too nervous and nice to tell her she's seen everything already. When their lunch period ended the two went back to class together, and they sat next to each other in French class; Emily helping Maya with a few things that would confuse her. That's what classes were like until they all ended, the two talked about how boring Mrs. Hertz was and what they thought of the school and the town until dinner started.

On their way to the cafeteria, Emily asked, "Would you like to eat dinner with me and my friends, or would you feel better with yours?"

"I-it doesn't matter," Maya said nervously; she didn't wanna say the wrong thing and make Emily hate her.

Emily just laughed, "Okay I see, you'd feel better with your friends, don't worry," She took her food and saw her friends, "See ya in the room later," she walked towards her friends table.

Maya smiled and took a tray of food and went to sit with the gang.

"Well, looks like someone is getting along with her roommate," Yumi grinned when she sat down.

"And to think, you were freaking out about meeting her," William laughed.

"Shut up Dunbar," She laughed, "Hey wait, where's Aelita and Jeremy?" She noticed their empty seats.

"They're working on some programs," Yumi said.

"Together?"

"Yup," Ulrich said.

"That's good," She smiled.

"At least that way things would be done faster," William said.

Ignoring William, Odd said, "Hey, so what are you gonna do when she asks why you always leave class… because of Xana?"

Maya choked on her drink, "W-what-" *cough*- "Do you mean?"

Yumi gasped, "Oh gosh! How could we have been so stupid!?"

"Wait what," Maya looked at their worried expressions, "I'm confused."

"Idiot," Ulrich sighed, "Emily will obviously wanna know WHY you're leaving classes and coming back late all the time."

"Oh fuck, what do I tell her?"

"Same thing we tell the teachers?" William guessed.

Yumi rolled her eyes, "You know Emily isn't THAT dumb."

Maya sighed, "I can't be sick every day," She looked at William, "What do you tell your roommate?"

HE smirked, "I have a single, so I'm all good."

"Great," She muttered, "You, Aelita and Jeremy all live alone, Yumi lives at home, and Ulrich and odd share a room; WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!"

"Pray she's brain washed after every Xana attack and never notices?" Odd shrugged.

Maya threw a grape that hid his huge forehead, "There's a time to be funny and a time to be serious," even though she said that, she still laughed.

Jeremy and Aelita were finishing up the programs in Jeremy's room.

"Okay, so I think that's about it," He said smiling and he spun around in his chair and looked at Aelita sitting on his bed.

She smiled back at him, "Yup we made three more vehicles. But how come we had to make replicas of the original vehicles?"

"Well, I didn't have time to come up with new ideas for new versions, but the colors are different so you can figure it out."

"You do know it would have taken longer if you had worked alone," she said proudly.

He blushed lightly, "Y-yeah, sorry you didn't get dinner though."

"Are you kidding? You didn't get any dinner OR lunch because Odd took your share," She laughed.

He rubbed the back of his head and laughed, "Don't worry I'll eat tomorrow… Odd must love this though, I mean he does get extra food."

She laughed a little, "But um, t-try and get some extra sleep tonight kay?"

"Oh so you noticed huh?"

"Are you kidding me, YOUR BAGS HAVE BAGS!"

He laughed, "Sorry, I've been busy with stuff."

"Is it so important you're gonna risk dying from no sleep?"

"I highly doubt you can die from lack of sleep," he scoffed. ((At least I don't think it's possible))

"You'll probably be the first person!" She laughed, "But really Jeremy, promise me that you'll sleep later?"

He sighed, "Fine."

"Promise?"

"Yeah I promise."

Her smile was huge, "Thanks Jeremy!" She ran and hugged him

"And um, thanks for letting me help you with the programming," She whispered.

"Wait you don't mind helping?" he asked.

"Of course not!" She sighed, "I know everyone tells you that you're the brains and that you're the only one who can do these things, but I can help too. Besides I like spending time with you," she blushed.

"Oh um" his throat had gone dry, "I-I like sp-spending time with you too," he said the last part VERY fast.

She kissed his cheek , "Thank you," She looked at the clock, "Wow, um I had no clue it was so late."

"Y-you should go before Jim comes."

Aelita sighed, making Jeremy feel like he should punch himself because he said the wrong thing, "Good night Jeremy," she left his room.

You fucking idiot, he thought as he changed into pajamas

BEEP BEEP BEEP

"What," were his first words as he sprung out of bed trying to turn off his alarm.

Wait outside is still dark? It can't be morning!

Jeremy's computer was flashing showing an activated tower.

"Damn it, again? Don't you ever sleep?" he muttered as he picked up his phone and dialed Aelita

"Hello?" her voice was low.

"Activated tower, ice sector," he said as he pulled on his normal jeans.

"I'll call Yumi and William, you get the others," she said as she jumped out of bed.

He ended the call and dialed Ulrich.

"Jeremy its too early for school," He groaned.

"Ulrich shut up, its xana, come on."

"Ugh okay," he hung up and went to wake up Odd, "GET UP!" He yelled and smacked a pillow on his roommates head.

"Hmm?" Maya said as she answered her vibrating phone.

"Xana, ice sector, tower, come on," he hung on.

"Sheesh that was a warm welcome," she muttered.

When she got out of bed, the floor made a creaking sound that made Emily turn in bed.

Shit! She thought, Okay, be calm. Be quiet.

Slowly she pulled on her blue shirt and black shorts, then pulled on her shoes. She made her way to the door, which was closer to Emily's bed. As she turned the knob on the door, it made a VERY loud creek which made Emily turn and mumble something in her bed. She held her breath and turned the knob again, but Emily's hand swung out and almost hit Maya in the face.

Oh fuck I can't even open the door.

She bit her nails as she scanned the room for another way out.

The window maybe? It was already open due to a very hot room.

She took a deep breath and climbed out the window to the outside. She scooted along towards the edge of the roof, she first dangled her legs off, the she scooted more and more till she was holding on by her finger tips. Oh gosh, she thought and closed her eyes. Then she let go and landed on her butt.

"Dammit!" She whispered frantically to no one in particular as she walked towards the sewer where Ulrich and Odd happened to be waiting.

"Took ya long enough," Ulrich muttered and when down into the sewer.

"You try leaving the room when your roommate is a light sleeper!"

"Transfer Yumi! Transfer William! Transfer Ulrich! Scanner Yumi! Scanner William! Scanner Ulrich! Virtualization!"

When they landed on Lyoko Jeremy said, "I'll bring up the vehicles in a second," then, "Transfer Odd! Transfer Aelita! Transfer Maya! Scanner Odd! Scanner Aelita! Scanner Maya! Virtualization!"
