The New Girl

"Please, I'm sorry. You're not mad, are you?" Pixal sat on the same chair, looking at Zane. He had his head lowered down, as if he's afraid to look at her.

"I'm not mad....just...disappointed....that's how you knew who I was..." Zane slowly muttered. Pixal could hear the sadness in his voice. It's unusual of him, since Zane always had a blank yet soft voice. Something Pixal always liked, but that voice was gone. It transformed into something so saddened, Pixal couldn't help but feel extremely guilty.

"I know, but I had no choice! It was Green's idea and-" Pixal suddenly gasped and cupped her hands over her mouth. Well, she's usually good at hiding secrets. But the sight of Zane being so hurt had her microchip fried up and she revealed yet another secret.

"Green?" Zane slowly looked up. His expression seemed to become more troubled. "He was the one that planned this?" Pixal hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"But why? Master Wu said-"

"Yes, but he's not here, Zane! Look, I don't know why Green decided to do this, but he said that it's important our identities are to be revealed to each other by accident, well...an accident we made on purpose. Except for mine, which is why I..didn't tell you. I'm sorry but Green ordered me not to. He knows something we don't, you can't exactly blame him for not telling us either," Pixal sighed. She knew that soon Zane would have to know the truth, but she didn't expect for it to happen so soon.

"....It's okay, I guess. I'll just have to believe that he has a good reason to do this, and that he will tell us eventually," Zane calmed himself down and eventually looked at Pixal.

"He has a big responsibility on his shoulders, so if he's keeping something from us, we'll wait 'till he feels comfortable to tell us," Zane forced a smile and started packing his things up. "I have to go," He muttered and stood up. Pixal felt something inside her squeeze, and then she grabbed onto Zane's hand.

"Are we still....y'know, friends?"

Zane looked at her, and then slowly caressed her hand. "Of course we are, I'd never leave you just because of a secret you had to keep," He smiled.

Pixal smiled back. Zane was someone very important to her, and she didn't know what she would do if she lost him. But then she couldn't help but wonder, what if they had been more than just friends?

"But I really have to go," Zane glanced at the clock hung above a picture on the wall to his right. "My father's waiting for me at home, he'll worry sick if I'm gone for too long,".

"Okay then, I'll see you later?" Pixal let go of Zane's hand.

Zane smiled again and his caramel contact lens seemed to be twinkling. "I'll see you later,".

Pixal watched as he left, he took a left and disappeared from view. She gave a relieved sigh. Even if she's all metal and wires, she was holding her breath throughout the conversation. It's wierd how emotions can mess up your mind, she felt something she never really felt before, guilt. It was a horrible feeling, trying to consume her thoughts. But she kept herself calm and the feeling slowly faded.

This is so much worse than fighting criminals.

Lloyd had his head down, focused on scribbling down words on his notebook. Everything else seemed completely invisible, including the wierd stares that he received from the students around him. No one really cared what he was doing either, it's just that he really stood out of the crowd with that bright blonde hair.

"Ehm, excuse me...is this class 2A?" A girl with white hair that was stretched down to her waist poked her head inside the classroom.

"Yes, what do you need?" Another girl with bright pink hair tied into a ponytail turned her head towards the white haired girl, standing outside the doorway.
