A New Player

I don't own Code Lyoko but Odd is still my favorite.

Tara Masi sat on the ledge of her window and stared outside. It was muggy because it had recently rained. She sighed as small drops of water fell from the roof. For the past two months Tara had lived alone in her house. She was supposed to go to a boarding school the next day. Tara still wasn't so sure if she could ever really belong in a boarding school. "The place is probably full of rich snobs." She remarked. Tara got up from the ledge and slumped over to her mirror. The face of a 13 yr. old girl with emerald eyes, tan skin, and long black hair stared back at her. The girl glanced at her clock. I read 7:00 pm. "I better get to bed so I can wake up on time." With that Tara slipped into her bed and was fast asleep.

Meanwhile, at the same boarding school Tara would soon be attending, Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, and Jeremy were sitting in Jeremy's dorm room. Ulrich gave a yawn and stretched.

"Come on Jeremy!" Ulrich complained to Jeremy. "We've been studying for five hours!" Yumi stood up from one of the beds and picked up one of the textbooks off the floor.

"The Science of Historical Figures," She read from the book. "Like I'm ever going to need to know this stuff later on in my life."

"Aw, come on guys, this stuff is actually very interesting." Jeremy protested. "Your just tired Yumi, right Odd." Odd didn't answer though because he was already asleep, sprawl out over a chair.

"That is Odd for ya." Ulrich joked.

"Maybe we should take a hint from him and go to sleep." Yumi suggested.

"Okay okay, you guys win." Jeremy sighed. He sat up from his desk and showed his friends to the door. "See you tomorrow."

"See ya." The others said to one another. They went to their separate dorms and within 10 minutes everyone was asleep.

Tara stepped out of a cab that took her to the school. She looked around and was amazed that the school was so large. "Well let's get this over with." Tara sighed as she walked into the building.

"I can't believe my alarm didn't go off!" Odd exclaimed while he ran down a hallway at full speed. "Why couldn't school be in Lyoko, at least I can run faster there!" He grabbed some toast from the cafeteria and shoved it into his mouth. Odd ran down another hall and turned a corner only to run into Jim. The force of Jim caused Odd to drop his toast.

"Odd, why are you running in the halls!" Jim demanded. Odd wasn't paying any attention though.

"Aw man, my toast!" He whined. Jim then picked Odd up by the front of his shirt.

"Answer my question now!" Jim barked. Tara, who had been roaming the hallways spotted Jim harassing Odd and ran to his rescue.

"Hey, put him down!" She yelled. Jim looked at Tara and then he looked at Odd. Then back to Tara and Odd. Suddenly, Jim realized what he was doing and dropped Odd.

"I'll let this slide this time Odd," Jim said. "Now you two get to class now!" He gave Odd on last look before he left. Odd went over to Tara and gave her a big smile.

"Thanks, you really saved my neck there." He thanked. "The names Odd."

"Tara." She replied. The two shook hands and they smiled brightly. The two started to walk down the hall together. A few minutes later Odd remembered that he was late for class. Odd quickly turned around and started a dead beat run in the hallway. He stopped though and turned around. Odd gave Tara a big smile.

"Love to stay and chat but I've got more trouble to get into." He explained. "Bye!" Then Odd took off.

"Atleast there are some good things here." Tara said hopefully before taking off down the hall.

Odd ran as fast as he could to Mrs. Dojo's classroom. When he reached the class he sneaked in through the front door and crawled to his seat next to Ulrich and Jeremy.

"Where were you?" Ulrich asked.

"What took you so long?" Jeremy added.

"Sorry, but I got a little side tracked." Odd explained.

"You're late to class again Odd." Mrs. Dojo scolded. "You know what that means."

"Detention." Odd groaned.

What do you think? It is a little boring in the beginning but it gets better. At least that's what my shadow told me. I'll write more and you must review. Give me good ideas and stuff. Peaces to the Middle East, bathe the whales, and pay the hobos.
