Odd's Secret
On the nice warm autumn night when everyone was outside enjoying the weather, Odd was inside of his dormitory thinking and looking out of the window at the other students. He wouldn't have minded being out with his friends this particular night, but something held him back. Odd simply dismissed it as a weird feeling, as he himself didn't want to begin to comprehend it.
"I wonder what's gotten into me, what do you think, kiwi?" he asked his adorable little puppy. The puppy barked in response.
"I've been having weird thoughts and feelings about everything, like Lyoko, but most of all they've been about Sissy. You don't think . . . "Odd said, stopping abruptly, apparently catching was he was about to say. "No, that's impossible, she's too much of a pest, I couldn't possibly be attracted to her."
Giving it no more thought, Odd walked to his bed and went to sleep. The next morning, Odd met up with Ulrich, Jeremie, and Yumi and they headed off into the cafeteria for breakfast. He had no intention on telling them about his thoughts any time soon.
"Where were you last night Odd?" asked Ulrich. "It was a perfect night for all of us to hang out."
"Sorry I missed out." Said Odd quickly.
"It was actually quite fun." Said Jeremie with a grin on his face. "But then again, a day with no X.A.N.A attacks are always fun and enjoyable. Aeilita also enjoyed it."
They all sat and continued to eat quietly until the first period bell rang. "Well, I'll see you guys later" said Yumi as she departed from the remaining three, as she didn't have Mrs. Hertz for her first period. Jeremie, Odd, and Ulrich started toward the Science class.
"You know, now that I think of it, we haven't had a Sissy attack in a while, either." Ulrich stated
"Err, right." Odd said, the shaking in his voice being evident.
"Something wrong Odd?" asked Jeremie, who obviously picked up on the shakiness in odds voice.
"Huh? I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'm fine." Odd stated hastily.
"Okay, We'll take your word for it if you're sure." Jeremie said, taken aback.
They continued on without another word. They entered the class and headed to their favorite seats and then started to converse with each other as the classroom continued to fill.
"So, when do you think the next X.A.N.A attack will be." Ulrich asked nonchalantly.
"Soon, most likely." Said Jeremie. "It's not like X.A.N.A to wait this long before attacking again, so this one must be big."
"I wouldn't put it past X.A.N.A to attack when we least expect it." Said Odd rather smoothly.
The classroom filled, and Mrs. Hertz started to teach. The gang gave no indication of this transition at all, as they continued to converse.
"So, Ulrich, how is your and Yumis relationship?" Odd asked with an unnerving expression on his face.
"Huh? What?" Said Ulrich, who was caught off guard by this question.
"You and Yumi, aren't you guys dating?" Odd rephrased, apparently not thinking that the question was personal.
"Oh, I suppose." Answered a blushing Ulrich. "Why'd you ask?"
"Just for curiosity's sake." Odd answered.
"I see, for a minute there I thought you were gonna ask for some relationship advice"
"Nah, I don't ne-"
"Wow, Odd, are you sure?" Jeremie cut in. "I mean, you seemed tuned in more than usual when you were waiting for Ulrich to answer."
"I'm sure. I'm sure. I don't have a crush or anything right now." Odd said defensively.
"Are you serious? Or are you not telling us something?" said Ulrich.
"I'm serious, I don't have a crush on anybo-"
"You three wouldn't mind if I asked you to continue your conversation after my class, would you?" Mrs. Hertz interrupted.
"Oh, no, sorry Mrs. Hertz." The three of them said simultaneously, and they kept quiet throughout the rest of the class. Odd had started to daydream. It was mostly about Lyoko and their next adventure, but occasionally, there would be some thoughts about Sissy.
