Chapter 1
The Big Announcement
The bitter cold of winter has fallen upon Kadic. The school was gently covered with a thick blanket of white snow and the snowflakes kept falling.
Though the sky was gray, it was morning and school was about to start.
"Wake up Odd," Ulrich Stern said as he threw a pillow at his dorm mate and best friend, Odd Della Robia.
"Five more minutes mom," Odd groaned as he tossed and turned in his bed.
"I'm not your mother now get up!" Ulrich threw another pillow and Odd finally got up.
"Stop throwing pillows!" Odd shouted tossing both pillows back at Ulrich. Ulrich dodged the pillows and laughed.
"Hey hey hey!" yelled Jim Morales, the gym teacher and Kadic boys dorm supervisor, as he barged into Ulrich and Odd's dorm. "Stop with the noise!"
"Sorry Jim," Ulrich replied.
"Yea, yea," Jim said. "And make it down to the gymnasium. Mr. Delmas has an important announcement!"
"You got it Jim," Odd said as he jumped out of his bed and to his closet. Jim nodded and closed the door. After a minute, the door opened again.
It was Odd and Ulrich's friends, Jeremy Belpois, Aelita Schaffer, and the newest addition to their team, Dani Van Hansen.
"Ready to go guys?" Aelita chirped as she walked in.
"Not yet!" Odd answered as he popped on his red shoes. "There, now I am!"
"You're a fast changer Odd," Jeremy added.
"It's not that hard to put on some pants and a shirt!" Odd replied.
"How about a jacket and a scarf?" Ulrich said tossing a purple coat at Odd. Odd picked up the coat with a confused look on his face.
"Why do I need this stuff?" Odd asked.
"It's freezing outside," Dani answered. "It's been snowing since yesterday."
"It's just a little snow!" Odd scoffed.
"I didn't know 10 inches was 'a little snow'," Ulrich chuckled.
"Whatever!" Odd laughed. "I can handle a little cold." Odd paraded out of the room leaving Ulrich, Jeremy, Aelita, and Dani to follow him.
The four zipped up their winter coats and put on their hats and gloves.
"He has no idea," Jeremy said shaking his head. The friends laughed and followed Odd.
"AHH! It's f-f-f-freezing!" Odd shivered.
The whole student body of Kadic walked to the gymnasium and Ulrich, Jeremy, Aelita, and Dani laughed at Odd's shivers.
"Told you you should've put on a jacket," Ulrich chuckled.
"B-b-b-but I didn't k-k-know!" Odd cried.
"Wow Odd, with that thick head of yours, I thought it would keep you warm," Aelita giggled.
The rest of the friends laughed except for Odd who rolled his eyes.
"Shut up!" Odd said through his chattering teeth. "Besides, what do you t-t-think Delmas is g-g-gonna talk to us ab-b-bout?"
"Isn't it obvious?" screeched a voice behind them. They turned to see none other than Sissy Delmas and her entourage, Herb Pichon and Nicholas Poliakoff. "Oh wait, you guys don't know! Haha!"
"What? You mean don't know that your father is taking everyone to the first annual holiday ski trip?" Jeremy answered confidently.
"Wha-what?!" Sissy gasped. "But how did you know?"
"I have my sources," Jeremy said. "Face it Sissy, you're not the only person who knows a few things around here."
"Whatever," Sissy scoffed and stomped off with Herb and Nicholas following.
"A ski trip?" Ulrich asked Jeremy. "What for?"
"I guess its just a little reward for us before the holiday season," Jeremy replied. "Now come on! We gotta get good seats!"
The gymnasium was full of students from Kadic. There were chairs for all of the students and a small stage with a podium set up.
Ulrich, Jeremy, Odd, Aelita, and Dani finally made their way into the gymnasium and saw their friend Yumi Ishiyama waving at them.
"Hey guys! Over here!" Yumi shouted. Five empty chairs sat next to her. The five friends rushed over and took a seat.
A few minutes passed and Mr. Delmas approached the podium. "Settle students settle," he bellowed. The students kept talking.
Jim pushed Mr. Delmas aside from the podium and shouted, "HEY EVERYONE BE QUIET!" The students became silent. "There you go Mr. Delmas."
"Thanks Jim," Mr. Delmas said. "I have very big news for all of you! This year is the first annual Kadic holiday ski trip at Bear Creek Mountain!"
Students cheered and gasped and gave each other high fives. Soon they quieted down.
"Call it a gift before you all return home for the holidays," Mr. Delmas further explained. "I will be sending you to your rooms to pack and report to your homerooms at 9:00 sharp or else the buses will leave you behind! Dismissed!"
The students dashed out the gymnasium in excitement while Ulrich, Jeremy, Odd, Yumi, Aelita, and Dani gathered to meet each other.
"This trip is gonna be so much fun!" Aelita replied. "We better get packing now."
"Wait," Jeremy said before everyone left. "What about you-know-who?"
"Jeremy has a point," Yumi agreed. "Maybe one of us should stay behind."
"Well I'm not!" Odd shouted. "This trip is just what I needed from the hardships of school."
"Hardships?" Ulrich said. "You don't even do anything."
"Yumi's right," Dani replied. "I could stay behind."
"No I think I'll stay," Yumi said. "After all my parents probably wouldn't let me go anyways, and its a free vacation for me. You guys go ahead."
"Thanks Yumi!" Odd cheered. He gave her a hug and skipped back to his room. "This trip is gonna be great!"
