XX09's POV

I am 12 now. My room has changed a little since I was younger, and myself has changed as well. My bedspread now sliver and black. My shelves are filled with more adult books than children's books. My desk has pencils and paper and calculators and rulers, etc. I finished my work already. The doctors are planning on letting me actually go outside the lab to go to school as their newer experiments need to adapt to being around people and get to know the world.

I had the picture of my mommy and daddy enlarged so I could hang it on my wall. Now I have a big photo that I go to sleep looking at.

CY05 is still around. He says I look more and more like X03 every day. That's probably why he doesn't come around much anymore. A painful reminder.

"XX09!" A nurse I had come to know as Sarah ran in. She was the youngest nurse here, 22 I believe. She adores me like a sibling which I am grateful for as I can't tell CY05 everything.

"Sarah." I chuckled, opening my arms from my bed, she wrapped me up in a hug and sat next to me.

"You get to start school in a week!" She smiled.

I stared at her in shock. "R-really? I get to leave the lab for the first time...?" I feel my emotions go wild, stuck between rejoicing and crying.

"Of course Angel!" Everyone had slowly started picking up on that nickname. As that is hat I liked to be called. Knowing that's what X03 called me first. He said I was his little Angel.

"Oh my! I don't know how I should react!" I put a hand to my chest and breathed. In one week was also my birthday. Every birthday I got three new things. And I got to choose every one of them.

"Be happy! I'm going to pose as your mom and CY05 will be your dad... Since he's still here and all. Aren't you happy to leave?"

I nodded. Than shook my head. Earning a confused look.

"What...?"

"This is all I know Sarah... What if I mess up out there?" She pulled me into a tight embrace.

"You won't little Angel..."

~one week later~

I have all my papers set up, my "parents" with me, and everything I would need to start off my school year. I have been placed in ninth grade as I am one year ahead of my actual grade level (I'm supposed to be in eighth).

My hands trembled and I felt my heart rate quicken. I jump at the slightest movement. Being here with all these people. I looked up at Sarah and CY05 approached me. I latched onto CY and trembled. "Not yet. Im not ready." I buried my face in his arm. I'm only thirteen and this is the first time I've left the lab.

"You are XX. You even get to use the name X03 gave you Angel. We allowed you to have a name here to fit in. Your okay Angel. your going to be great. I'll also only be a call away. Look, the lab is giving you a phone." he pulled out a simple looking phone from his pocket. it was silver and had numbers and letters. It was a LG slide phone. I took it and nodded.

"Thank you." I looked up at Sarah.

"It has all our contacts in it. Be safe and have a good first day Angel." I nodded and clutched the phone as it was my lifeline.

"Bye Sarah. Bye CY05." I gave them each a hug before they walked out leaving me in the office.

"Hello Angel. I was told to show you around." A boy with freckles littering his face, a blue eye and a green eye, and his cute button nose popped up in front of me. He smiled and put a arm around my tense shoulders. "I'm Micah! Im a sophomore, and your a freshman~ this is so exciting Ive wanted a freshman friend. Your first class is right next to mine."

I stared at him like a deer caught in headlights. He just kept talking. "Ah..."

"Here you are little munchkin~!" He pushed me into the classroom and closed the door behind me, leavening me to awkwardly stand there as everyone stared at me. Curious and judgmental eyes met mine. I flushed red and held my phone to my chest. feeling my hands shake as I took hesitant steps toward the teacher.

She was a pretty looking woman with her brown hair tied back and left over her shoulder in a careless manner, and matching brown eyes which hid behind her stylish glasses. she smiled kindly at me. "You must be Angel. Please treat Angel with kindness." She announced to the class. She pointed to a seat and I scurried toward it.

I sat quietly, not many people bothering me, only occasionally starring at me.

~After class~

I walked out last. Micah was there waiting for me. He caught me and started steering me in the direction of my next class. "hurry Angel hurry!" He pushed me until we reached art and he walked in behind me. I stared at him confused. He just said he had art with me.

The teacher gave us an assignment to draw anything we like and than left us to it. Micah sat next to me and stared drawing... something. I couldn't tell what it was. I picked up my pencil and started drawing just like the teacher instructed us to.

My pen glided across the paper the whole period, not even noticing the wide eyed stares. Everyone gathered around my seat and watched in awe as I drew a perfect image of my parents standing in the middle of a forest near a lake. when I finished the bell rang. I looked up and met everyone's stares. I blushed red and pushed the drawing toward the teacher, grabbing Micah's arm as he was my guide and ran out of the class.

"You have some serious talent there Angel!" he exclaimed.

"T-thank you..." I murmured as he steered me to my next class.

~Lunch~

"You can eat lunch with me an my friends Angel!" Micah pulled me into the cafeteria. I lost my footing at some point and slipped. Falling into someone grasp.

"Careful there Micah. You shouldn't break the new students." A deep voice laughed.

"I-ah... Whoops... Sorry Angel..."

"S'kay," I looked up at who caught me and I felt my breath hitch. He had to be the may beautiful person I had ever seen. His stormy gray eyes bore into my green ones. His slightly crooked teeth formed a warm smile and his nose wasn't angular or to large. Just the perfect size for the perfect face. His high cheekbones resembled my own. His black hair fell almost into his eyes. he had a ring in his lip and it was a shining purple.

"What'chya looking at Angel?" Micah poked my shoulder.

"W-th-m-" I couldn't form any words as I faced this... This god.

He chuckled. "Seems that the little Angel is a little tongue tied." He leaned in close to my ear. "I'm Jared." His breath fanned the shell of my ear causing a pleasurable shudder to flow through me.

"Okay Jared. Stop teasing him. He's mine." Micah grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Jared and pulling off. My blush neither going away or fading. I put a hand to my ear.

Micah pulled me up to a table snapping me out of my thoughts. "Who's this cutie?" A petite blonde quipped. She twirled her salad with her fork.

"Guys~ this is Angel! He's the new kid! He just turned 13!" That sparked some interest around the table.

"So he's a freshy-man?" A brunette giggled. "How sweet. He skipped a grade I presume?" I nodded a little. Tucking some blonde hair behind my ears.

"I ah... Was homeschooled so I learned faster... No breaks..."

"I see." The blonde nodded finishing her salad. "Sorry I gotta leave early for band. Ug. See you guys after school, same time, same place. Love you!" She grabbed her bag and trash and was off.

"That was Bella. She's waiting for her Edward to talk to her." The brunette rolled her eyes.

I frowned confused but Micah beat me to it. "Kayla you know better than to say that. She hates twilight."

"Whatever." Kayla rolled her eyes.

I noticed there was one other person at the table who had yet to speak. He had midnight black hair with red streaking the underside and his bangs.

"Jessie~ say hello~" Micah pressed. He waved his hand in front of Jessie's face. Jessie had yellow eyes. Which freaked me out and I hid behind Micah, causing Jessie, Micah and Kayla to start laughing. "That's not his real eye color, those are his contacts."

"I'm Jessie."

"Angel..." I came out from behind Micah, who quickly pushed me into a chair. Sitting next to me.

"Okay so-"

~after school~

"Not one call Angel." CY05 greeted me with a grin.

"I made friends today CY." I smiled and launched myself into my dads arms.

"You can tell me al about them on the way home okay XX?"

"Okay."

"Wait! Angel!"

I looked around the parking lot trying to find the source if the voice. Seeing Jared running toward me. He came to a stand still in front of me huffing out breaths.

I flushed. "H-hi Jared... Did you need something...?"

"I was wondering if you would come to my sisters volleyball match with me. She forced me to go and I get bored. It would be a good bonding experience." He grinned showing off his teeth.

I returned the large smile turning to CY05, tugging in his arm. "Can I go daddy?"

"Of course X-Angel... But we need to check with... Your mom first." He put an arm around me, knowing full well he meant lab.

"I hope to see you there Angel." He waved and trotted off.

I practically melted when he finally left. I was so giddy.

"Lets get to the car than. Don't want to keep the doctors waiting."

I nodded, grabbing CY's hand. We walked over to the car Sarah was sitting in and we climbed in, me explaining my first day of school.

A/N

This chapter was more the doctor people are finally starting to let their creations out into the open. And if you've noticed CY05 is always happy. That is because he doesn't have as many emotions as XX09. CY05 is a earlier generation.

Hope this chapter was okay~ I felt like this was mostly a filler though XP

X03: my babies so smart! *claps hands*

Me: well duh. He's skipped a grade for a reason~!

X03: *smacks arm* don't sass me please. Let me appreciate my son/daughter as I please.

Me: fine. Sheesh...
