BOOK 2, Code Lyoko: Finding Answers IS OUT! And, the GRAMMAR and HORRIBLE writing is here is crazy so bear with the old me xD

~Chapter 1~

"Leonardo Da Vinci invented numerous inventions. One of it was..." The teacher, Mr Giles trailed on as 4 students passed notes to each other in secrecy.

"Sir! Ulrich and his group are passing notes to each other!" Sissi called out to the teacher.

"Urgh! Sissy..." Odd hit his fist onto the table and grumbled.

"Well, what do you know? Sissi and her irritating tattletale habit." Ulrich mumbled.

"Great, now everyone will know what we wrote." Jeremy sighed and looked down to his lap.

"May I have the note?" The Mr Giles asked.

"Sir! Sissi was lying! She... she was just... trying to manipulate us!" Odd shouted while pointing towards Sissi.

"I DID NOT!" Sissi shouted back, causing an uproar.

Silence!" The teacher silenced the whole class while slamming the chalk onto the chalk board, "Give me the note, NOW!"

"Yes sir." Aelita stood up from her seat and slowly walked towards the teacher.

*Knock knock*

"Excuse me, I hope I'm not interrupting anything important. I have a new student to introduce." The principal, Mr Delmas said all serious-minded after knocking on the door.

"No sir, no. Please, Introduce this new student." Mr Giles' sudden change of tone made the students giggle.

The teacher shot a glare to everyone and that immediately halted the giggling. But they can't help it. Reason being that every time Mr Delmas appears, all of the teachers would turn into humble servants who serve a king.

That king would be the principal.

"Hello class, this is Jenny. She just enrolled into our school and will be your classmate from now on. Jenny, would you like to say a few words before you officially join the class?" Mr Delmas asked.

All the boys in the class were smitten by Jenny. Jenny had that 'girl-next-door' feel which any guy would fall head over heels for.

Making them fall even harder for her was her stunning pure white hair. It was as if all the stars fell from the sky and were woven into her hair.

She wore a simple pastel blue blouse and a pair of jeans that had darker tone of blue as compared to her top.

Jenny is stunning.

"Yes sir. Hello everyone. My name is Jenny. I hope we could all get along." Jenny smiled as brightly as she could.

And as if it was planned, all the boys in the room started to smile along with her simultaneously.

"Since Jenny is new to our school, is there anyone who would like give her a tour of the school?" Mr Delmas asked.

Everyone sprang up from their seats all chorusing with the words, "Pick me!"

A little taken back by the sudden enthusiasm, the principal then said, "That's... a lot of people. Well, since it was the first time you volunteered to do something Odd, I'll pick you and... Aelita. You two shall bring Jenny around the school."

The other guys who weren't picked slumped back into their seats while letting out soft grumbles.

"Silence class!" The teacher silenced the whole class by slamming a long and thicm ruler against the table.

He paused for a moment to think before deciding that Jenny will sit beside Aelita. The reason behind that action isn't just because of the one factor that Aelita's sitting alone, the other factor is that he didn't want to let loose a war amongst the boys on who got to seat with the new girl.

Jenny, after hearing her new and first tablemate she shyly walked towards the empty seat next to Aelita.

"I'll be leaving now. I hope everyone can be welcoming to Jenny." Mr Delmas bid goodbye and left.

Sensing that Jenny was feeling a little bit tensed, Aelita decided that she should approach her first.

"Hi! I'm Aelita, nice to meet you Jenny." Aileta greeted cheerfully and extended her hand out to shake her hand.

Jenny smiled at the hospitality and reached out her hand to shake Aelita's but, as soon as their hands touched, an electric wave shot through their bodies.

For a short moment, they both stared into each other's eyes. They were a little taken back by whatever that "jolting experience" was, but they brushed it away as some sort of weird encounter.

A few minutes into the lesson Jeremy started tapping Aelita's back, "Aelita... Aelita..." He whispered.

Aelita leaned her head back and Jeremy passed her a note.

"What's that? Another note?" Aelita asked.

"No! This is the note that we had just now... Destroy it." He whisper-shouted.

"But..."

"Just throw it away or something. We don't want the teacher to read it to the whole class right?"

"Okay, okay."

Grabbing the crumpled note in her hand, Aelita started to slowly and quietly tear the paper into pieces.

Despite being as soft as she could, the sound of papers ripping caught Jenny's attention.

"What are you doing?" Jenny asked looking at the torn up note.

"Erm... It's kind of a long story. Whatever it was, we have to destroy the evidence before the teacher asks for it again."

"Oh... It's an evidence..?"

"Erm.. Well, er.."

"You don't have to explain to me. It's okay. You sound stressed out." Jenny chuckled softly.

"Heh, thanks." Aelita smiled. "Oh yeah! I have to thank you!"

Jenny's eyebrow raised, confused at the sudden gratitude, "Thank me? For what?"

The teacher turned away from the board and glared at the two girls in front of him with a face that reads, 'If you girls continue to talk, you'll get it from me'.

Aelita looked down onto her notebook and as soon as the teacher turned back to the board, whispered, "Jenny, I'll explain it to you later. The teacher knows we're talking and I don't think we'd want to risk getting into detention."

*Class bell rings*

"WOOHOO!" Odd cheered and fist pumped the air.

"Okay class, before you leave please remember to do your assignment. It's a simple one so please don't let me catch anyone not completing it. Especially you, Odd." The teacher said sternly before exiting the class.

"We had homework?" Odd scratched his head like a confused puppy.

"Yeah. You forgot didn't you? Research about William Shakespeare? Man Odd, what were you doing for the past few weeks when the teacher explained to us about the homework?" Ulrich laughed at Odd's ignorant attitude towards homework.

"I don't care anyway. Hey guys, we should ask Jenny to join us for lunch!" Odd enthusiastically suggested.

"Dear Romeo, don't do anything stupid. I don't think she's the type of girl you wanna mess with." Jeremy warned while pushing up his spectacles.

"Who said I was going to "mess" with her? I'm serious this time." Odd said firmly.

"You've said that about a billion times, let's see... who was it that you said you were serious on? Ulrich, any ideas?" Jeremy scratched his chin.

"Was it Stacey? No... It was definitely Hannah. Oh wait... or was it Penny? You've dated countless number of girls and said the exact same thing whenever you wanted to date them. Leave Jenny alone." Ulrich burst out laughing and soon everyone joined in.

All except Odd.

"Real funny." Odd said sarcastically while rolling his eyes.

"Oh come on Odd. It's not the first time you've been teased about this anyway. If you really want to ask her to lunch, shouldn't you ask her now?" Jeremy gently elbowed Odd at his sides as a cheeky grin forms on his lips.

Odd's head whipped to Jenny's direction and his eyes widened as he sees that Jenny was about to leave the classroom. He made a small dash towards her and stood right in her path.

He cleared his throat, trying to act all cool and with the deepest voice he could conjure he asked, "Jenny. Would you like to join us for lunch?"

Jenny's eyes lit up at the thought of making friends. She immediately agreed without any hesitation.

She now stood in front of her new potential friends which made her a little nervous.

She squeezed her hands and took a deep breath. On the inside, she's freaking out while trying to maintain a calm and collected face on the outside.

Although it felt like forever, only 5 seconds have passed before Jenny decided to make a 'big' move.

"Hi." She greeted with a bright smile plastered on her face.

Everyone smiled back immediately.

"Hello! I'm Ulrich and this is Jeremy. You should know Aelita and Odd by now. There's still one more of us, but she'll be joining us during lunch later." Ulrich introduced.

"Nice to meet you all!" Jenny chirped.

"Shall we go for lunch now?" Aelita asked.

Everyone nodded and headed to the cafeteria.

"After lunch, we will bring you around school to get you familiarised with things." Aelita told Jenny as they exited their classroom.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Oh... Come on Rosa give this little boy some more baked beans will ya? Please...?" Odd begged the lunch lady, Rosa.

It was his everyday lunch routine that he had with Rosa. And every single time, Rosa always gives in to his requests thanks to that puppy dog eyes trick that he'll pull.

"Oh alright. Here you go. And that's it." Rosa said and scooped up a big portion of baked beans onto his lunch tray.

"Thanks!" Odd cheered and walked towards where the gang was sitting.

As soon as he placed his food tray onto the table he immeidiately start to gobble everything up, leaving a big stain on his shirt.

"Odd.. I think... You might need a new shirt." Ulrich chuckled. "You eat like a complete kiwi!"

"Oh come on! Don't drag Kiwi into this, he's an innocent dog! I will change my shirt...Later." Odd managed to somehow speak with a huge croissant occupying 3/4 of his mouth.

"Odd. Don't talk with your mouth full." Aelita snapped.

"Yes ma'am!" Odd saluted.

A smile crept onto Jenny's lips as she watched how everyone interacted with each other. She was happy and relieved that everyone was nice.

"Hey guys!" Yumi greeted everyone.

Instead of the usual four people that she always sees, she finds a fifth with striking white hair catching her eye.

"And who's this?"

Jenny quickly swallowed her food and stood up to introduce herself, "Hello! I'm Jenny. Nice to meet you. Erm, your friends invited me to eat lunch with them... I hope you won't mind."

"Oh hi Jenny! I'm Yumi. It's okay if you're joining us. The more the merrier." Yumi shot a warm smile to Jenny.

Everyone resumed eating.

All was peaceful until Sissi opened her mouth.

"Hey Ulrich sweet heart..." Sissi started to flirt with Ulrich and did this hair twirling habit that Ulrich hates.

Yumi started to gripped tightly onto her glass of water.

"I'm not your sweet heart Sissi." Ulrich said coldly.

"Trying to act all cool in front of Yumi huh?" Sissi smirked.

*Beep*

"Huh?" Jeremy took out his phone and saw something he would never expect to see in his life, ever.

It was a symbol of X.A.N.A.

"What?!" Jeremy shouted, catching the gang's and Jenny's attention.

"What is it Jeremy?" Aelita asked.

"Oh a text. Here, look at it." Jeremy passed his phone onto Aelita's hands.
Aelita's reaction was a replica of Jeremy's as her eyes laid on the familiar symbol.

"It can't be..." Aelita shook her head.

"You saw the same thing?" Jeremy asked.

"Yeah. We need to head to the factory Jeremy. No time to waste. It could be an attack."

"Aelita, I don't think we need to make a big fuss over this. It could be an electricity shock from my phone or something."

"Please. This could be serious."

Jeremy leaned back into his chair, debating with himself if he should go or not.

"Why are you hesitating? You weren't like this before."

Jeremy looked at Aelita's sad eyes and his eyebrows furrowed.

He was having a hard time deciding.

"Come on Jeremy." Aelita continued, "What if this is really an attack? Won't we regret it if we chose to ignore it?"

Jeremy gave it a long thought. Which was unnecessary because ultimately in the end, he'll always choose to go to the factory.

"Okay. Fine. But first we need Jenny to leave." He said.

"I got it. I'll tell Odd to bring her around the school while we go check things out in Lyoko."

"Good."

Aelita turned to face the others and to her surprise, everyone was already looking at her.

"So? What happened?" Odd asked.

"Oh, just a stupid spam text. No biggie. Erm Odd, I need to ask you something. Let's go outside for a minute." Aileta left the cafeteria with Odd tagging along behind.

"What was that all about?" Jenny asked as her suspicion rose.

"It's nothing. It's a terrible secret of Odd and I don't think he wants everyone else to know about it. Don't worry." Jeremy lied.

"Oh okay." Jenny nodded.

"Ahem! I'm still here!" Sissi said impatiently.

"Oh! So you're the one that's been making all those annoying noises. I thought it was a pig but turns out it's just you." Yumi's words sparked fits of laughter to break out among the group.

Sissi's eyes enlarged with rage and she stormed off to the table where her two 'sidekicks', Herb and Nicholas were.

Everyone didn't stop laughing until Aelita and Odd came back.

"Hey Jenny! Let's start the tour now!" Odd pulled Jenny away from the table without giving her a chance to speak.

"Mind explaining Einstein?" Ulrich asked.

"X.A.N.A. Let's go to the factory now." Jeremy stood up and ran towards the factory.

Aelita, Ulrich and Yumi followed suit.

Sissi, who's still annoyed by the humiliation earlier saw the gang leaving in a hurry. Her curiosity piqued and so she decided to follow them, leaving Herb and Nicholas behind.
