Nothing is What It Seems: A Code Lyoko Story

Prologue

      Lacey’s POV

      Let’s just be clear; I never wanted to be here. Never in a million years would I have guessed that I would be in boarding school. I would’ve much rather continued my sad life as a screw-up. Which is how I got here; I screwed up. Thanks to me, my whole family was being threatened and there was only so much I could do about it. But I was here now, in Kadic Academy, ready to do what I was commanded to do.

       But was I really ready to do it? I can’t help but wonder if it was really the right thing to do. But when it came to my family, I knew I needed to protect them, even if they didn’t ever do the same for me.

      I just feel bad for my future “friends”. I already knew who they were going to be and I wasn’t happy about it. Everything was assigned for me, and if I went and did my own thing, I might as well say goodbye to my family.

       Maybe I was ready, but I was pretty sure I wasn’t. Either way, there was no backing down now.
