Code Lyoko: Revolutions and Evolutions

Chapter 61

AN: I am so delighted to bring you this chapter, and I was thinking long and hard on various attempts, and the guidance God has given me is so much simpler and more fun in my personal opinion than what I originally had planned. I hope you have a great time reading and want to shout out to a surge in my Canadian fanbase. Thank you, and welcome aboard.

Finally, thank you, all of you, whose support in reading and reviewing this work has been wonderful and immensely encouraging. Read, Review, and Enjoy,

Love,

Pagliacci-11.

Aelita had just returned to her dorm, and as she opened the door, she saw Jeremy sitting on one of the beds, and he looked surprised to see her.

"Where were you?" Jeremy asked, "I didn't see you at breakfast."

"I had some things I had to take care of, that's all," Aelita replied as she sat down on the bed opposite Jeremy.

He looked at her and seeing irritation on her face, asked, "Are you alright? You seem a bit—tense."

"I'm fine. I just needed to talk with Yumi for a bit. That's why I went early. I figured if I could catch her before her day started, I could get a few things sorted out." She laid down on the bed.

"I wouldn't get comfortable." Jeremy cautioned, "The official transfer to Mercier begins today. Jim's already going dorm to dorm."

Aelita gave a short exhale as she replied, "Great. But wait, aren't we early?"

"We are, but I think also we have a greater influx of students than even Delmas anticipated. So, they're making as much room as possible, starting with what I assume are the most labor-intensive dorms."

"Something bothers me, though." Aelita said, turning her head to face him, "If we're being transferred anyway, why were you so viciously territorial with Alfonse when he first arrived as in divvying up the room?"

"Simple." Jeremy replied, "Mr. Kruger and I will be roommates transferring over to Mercier. It's kinda' how it works traditionally. That way, we meet our roommates here, and we get used to them. Unlike most aspects of the traditional period, this summer break is an acclimation while Mercier clears out its own students for graduation."

Aelita nodded, "So, what does that say about me? Amelia was my first roommate, but that wasn't my fault. But what about Jacqueline? I mean, you know how teenagers are, you know what a rumor-mill Kadic is. Do you think this will taint me in at Mercier?"

Jeremy shook his head, "Amelia was not your fault. Jacqui wasn't your fault, either. I mean, forgive me; it's not like you've fallen to the blight common to teens, pregnancy. But we've been careful, so it's not that bad."

"It's odd that you see it as a blight. Seems such an odd way to describe pregnancy." Aelita replied.

"Allow me to correct myself; pregnancy is just something that happens all too often, especially in our more advanced grades. So, yeah, not so common in our current grade, but later on, statistics dictate at least one pregnancy of those in our acquaintances."

"Well, so long as we continue to ensure our safety, we should be alright, correct?"

Jeremy nodded, "Correct."

"So, when will my transfer begin, do you know?"

"Judging by how much Jim as to do. Even with the usual help he has, I'd say anticipate you being started to be moved around midday. I mean, this kind of thing has almost all teachers on deck. But they are allocated per gender to avoid awkwardness. I mean, if I heard right, even Yolanda is pitching in with our move."
