Taking One Tower At A Time

She smiled a bit. “I hope I don’t get on anybody’s bad side, really.”

“Don’t worry,” Aelita replied as she opened the door. “I’m sure you’ll be okay. You usually have to be really annoying to get on theirs. Well, here you are?” She led Cassidy in by walking into the room herself.

She blushed. “I mean, I’d really like to be friends with you guys. I’m an outcast, and Sissi—was it—called me one the moment she saw me.”

Aelita nodded as Cassidy got Sissi’s name right. “You sometimes have to disregard what she says. She sometimes just blurts out what she’s thinking. Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll all be glad to have you as a friend.” Aelita looked back at Cassidy. “You get what you needed?”

She nodded. “I just hope I don’t get lost again.”

“I’m sure you won’t.” Aelita looked over at her clock. “Is it that time already!? I guess we need to eat.” As if on cue, her stomach growled.

Cassidy felt her stomach growl, too. She blushed.

“And that answers it. Let’s get going then.” Aelita motioned for Cassidy to follow her to the cafeteria. “After you ma’am,” she said as she stood by the door, faking a curtsy as a joke.

Mun is just reblogging this from her Yumoto roleplay blog. Right now, Aelita and Yumoto are my main characters of priority.

She smiled a bit. “I hope I don’t get on anybody’s bad side, really.”

“Don’t worry,” Aelita replied as she opened the door. “I’m sure you’ll be okay. You usually have to be really annoying to get on theirs. Well, here you are?” She led Cassidy in by walking into the room herself.

“We mean our Jim as in he’s one of our teachers,” Yumi replied as she shifted what foot she stood on. “We all go to Kadic to. That’s why Odd thought it was so funny.”

Kinjiro blinks twice surprise by what he just heard. “Hold on, I think I dropped by jaw since of that surprise.” Kinjiro answers before he acts like he’s popping his jaw back into place. “As much as it was a surprise, I’m glad to hear that you all go there. I won’t feel as nervous. Though, I will be in hot water for quite a while.”

Ashleigh laughed as Kinjiro did the jaw joke. Meanwhile, Ulrich turned to Odd and told the catboy, “Look at that. We have a new joker in the group…And his jokes are way better.” Odd glared and hit Ulrich with his bag. The elevator opened and the group made their way back to the school.

Kinjiro followed behind them, staying within eyesight of them, lest he goes through his usual amount of luck trying to find his destination. “Don’t worry, I’m not often this funny. I usually make sure that it’s fitting to be funny when I do.” Kinjiro admits as he stretches his arms out above his head before placing his hands on the back of his head.

Odd just glared at Kinjiro. “You better watch it,” he murmured as he pointed his finger to the boy. Within minutes, the group was back on campus. “There you go,” Jeremie told Kinjiro.

"To be honest Ulrich, I would prefer to know the way, I may get closer to it every now and then. The school is called Kadic Academy." Kinjiro answers not knowing that they go to that they go to that place. The Jim he had told Yumi about was Jim the PE teacher.

Odd just laughed. “Oh my gosh, what a coincidence.” “Wait,” Yumi stopped Odd’s laughing for a minute. “You mean you know our Jim?”

Kinjiro nods his head, “What do you mean your Jim?” He asks not keeping up between Odd’s laugh and Yumi’s statement. “The Jim that picked me up said that the principal sent him.”

“We mean our Jim as in he’s one of our teachers,” Yumi replied as she shifted what foot she stood on. “We all go to Kadic to. That’s why Odd thought it was so funny.”

Kinjiro blinks twice surprise by what he just heard. “Hold on, I think I dropped by jaw since of that surprise.” Kinjiro answers before he acts like he’s popping his jaw back into place. “As much as it was a surprise, I’m glad to hear that you all go there.

Aelita walked over and put her hand on Jeremie’s shoulder. “You’ll be fine, don’t worry. You might feel some discomfort. No pain though.”

"Okay… I wanted to find Aelita Stones. She’s the only one who knows where our dorm room is." She shyly looked at her shoes. "Plus after what happened with m-me and Mr….

"Sure. That’ll be fine."

“All right.” Aelita turned back to her friends. “I’ll see you guys later.” Leaning into Jeremie’s ear, she whispered, “If anything happens, let me know.” Aelita turned around and walked back to Cassidy. “Let’s go,” she smiled as she walked off to the room.

Cassidy followed her roommate. "Your friends are very nice, Ae-Aelita--I've got to get used to this school. So many great and unique names intermixed. I have a bad feeling about that girl with the long black hair. She looks to be out to get me now that I'm roommates with you."

“They all seem to be...Usually. Sometimes you have to watch out for Ulrich and Yumi on their bad days.” As they approached the door to the room, Aelita unlocked it. “And that black haired girl is Sissi. She may be someone to stay away from. Though I have to admit, she does have her helpful and heroic moments.”

“Uh…Okay. Materialization, Kinjiro.” As soon as he finished the sentence, he pressed the button so Kinjiro would be brought back. Meanwhile, the others were in the scanner room, ready to make their way back up. Odd and Ulrich were arguing whose turn was it to take Kiwi out while Aelita was asking Ashleigh why she didn’t show up in the sector with them, which made the latter reply X.A.N.A. bugged the virtualization program for her.

“It’s no problem,” Jeremie replied to Kinjiro as he took off his earpiece.. “It’s understandable. Actually, we have to get to class too.”  As Jeremie walked over to the elevator, Ashleigh sarcastically commented, “Yeah. Fun time with Ms. Hertz, joy.” “You said it,” Odd replied. Jeremie pushed the button and the elevator closed on the group of seven. “We didn’t formally get to meet huh? I’m Jeremie Belpois. I prefer not to go to Lyoko. You said that you are going to a new school. May I, uh, ask where it is?”

“Well, a name would still help,” Odd said as he grabbed Kinjiro’s shoulders. “We could probably point it out.” Ulrich glared at Odd. “Or maybe he doesn’t want to say and you should stop bothering him Odd. Ever think of that?”
