Well, here's a new story I came up with that I would love to share with everyone :D

Just to go ahead and put this out... I do not own Code Lyoko *sad face* But I do own my original character Serena Shay :)

I hope everyone enjoys this!


"Serena Lauraine Shay! If you don't get out of bed this instant, you'll end up missing your flight!" my mom yelled from downstairs. I rolled over in my bed and looked at the alarm clock sitting on the sidetable, which said that it was 6:30 AM. Once it registered through my mind what Mom said and what today was, I sprang out of bed. Today was the day that I am suppose to catch a plane to France so that I could start my junior year at Kadic Academy. Classes start back up tomorrow and the only way that I can get there on time is to get to the airport before 7:45 and catch that plane. Good thing I decided to pack everything up last night before I went to bed or I could have never get everything straight beforehand.

The first thing I did was throw on a pair of skinny jeans, my black Killswitch Engage band tee, and a gray hoodie. Then I sprinted into the bathroom to straighten my hair, put on some makeup, and finish getting ready. After rushing to get all that done, I threw all of my makeup, my straightener, and a few other personal things that I found laying around my room that I could possibly need while I'm gone into a random duffel bag. I took a one last look around my bedroom since I won't be back in here until Christmas break. Once I finished with that, I grabbed my suitcase, duffel, and purse and ran down the stairs to the kitchen.

"It's about time you got up," Mom said as she set out a bowl of cereal on the counter for me, "I went ahead and got you some breakfast. I hope Honey Combs is good enough."

"Yeah Mom, it's fine. Thanks," I replied as I tried to eat the cereal as fast as I could without making a big mess.

"So, are you ready to be a junior this school year?"

"I guess so. It's just another school year that I have to get through to me. I'm not that much excited."

"Well, you should be. You only have two years until you graduate Serena," Mom said, a little disappointed with my answer.

"I know that, it's just school is school. I get up, I go eat breakfast, I do my classes, I eat lunch, I finish up my afternoon classes, then eat dinner, and lastly, I go back to my dorm to sleep and do it all over again the next day. It's pretty routine and nothing too exciting," I told her as I put my bowl in the sink.

"Well, what about your friends? You spend time with them, don't you?"

"Yeah, but not all the time. I'd love to spend more time talking Mom, but I really need to go to the airport now. I'll call you once I've arrived in France. Tell Dad I love him and I'll talk to him later sometime when he wakes up."

"Ok. I set your schedule, letter, taxi money, and plane ticket on the sidetable beside the front door. Don't forget them and I'll talk to you later then," Mom came over and gave me a hug, "Bye Serena. I hope you have a good year. I love you."

"Bye Mom and I love you too," I hugged her back, grabbed all my bags and the envelope left on the table, and walked out the front door. It was almost 7:15 now and I had about thirty minutes to get my bags checked and whatnot before the plane left. I just hope that the taxi doesn't take too long to get here. After waiting a couple of minutes, one finally came into view and I started to get ready to flag it down so I could get to the airport.

"Where'd you like to go?" asked the driver once he pulled over in front of my house.

"I need to get to the airport please. Is it alright if I put my luggage in the trunk?" I asked.

"That's fine."

Once I got all my belongings in the trunk of the taxi, I started to get into the back until I was stopped by some yelling coming from the direction of my neighbor's house.

"HOLD THAT TAXI!"

I looked over in that direction to find a blond haired boy, dressed in purple, running wildly with his luggage towards the taxi. It was only Odd Della Robbia, one of my classmates who happens to live next door to me also. Once he made it to the taxi cab, the driver gave him an unpleasant look.

"I'm sorry, but this taxi's already taken by this young lady."

Odd looked over at me for a second and then opened his mouth to say something, but I cut him off.

"No, it's ok. He's going to the airport too. See, we're suppose to catch the same flight. Could you take him too?" I asked the taxi driver.

"If you both have the right amount of money."

"We do," Odd and I said in unison. Then the taxi driver motioned us both to get in the backseat.

"Thanks Serena," Odd said breathlessly, still trying to recover from running like a spaz.

"No problem. You're just lucky that I think that you're alright, or else I would have left you."

"Well, I guess that's a good thing."

Then the driver took off towards the direction of the airport.

By the time all my bags were checked and I boarded the plane, it was about 7:50, which was pretty good since the plane will take off at 8:00. After putting my duffel bag in the compartment above my seat, I sat beside the window and pulled out my iPod Touch to prepare myself for the twelve hour flight I was about to embark on. Just as I was about to start listening to this amazing mix of heavy rock music, someone came up and sat right in the empty seat beside me.

"Hey there again Serena!" that crazy blond kid known as Odd said once he got his bags in the same compartment as mine.

"Hey Odd," I replied without much enthusiasm. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with any nonsense at the moment.

"Mind if I sit with you?"

"What's wrong with your old seat?" I asked him. It came out a little harsh though.

Odd seemed like he was taken aback a little, "I can move if you really don't want me here."

I sort of felt a little guilty that I was being mean to him so I decided to act sweeter and replied, "No, I was just curious why you'd want to move. I don't mind you sitting beside me."

"Oh," he seemed pretty cheerful again, "Well, I figured that since we're both heading to the same place and know each other, it'll make the flight more entertaining and plus I swear the guy who was sitting beside me lives on a farm. I could smell the odor of every animal from here to Mexico on that dude!"

I couldn't help but to bust out laughing and Odd joined in with my laughter.

"I'm so sorry! I'm glad you moved over here then," I said in between laughs.

"Yeah."

Odd and I continued to have a nice conversation for a while and then I started to get a little tired. I pulled out my iPod once again and rested my head against the window while I closed my eyes. Odd ended up pulling out his Nintendo DS to occupy himself while I tried to nap, since we weren't talking to each other for the moment.

While I was trying to go to sleep, I couldn't help but to let my mind wonder how this school year is going to be like. What I didn't tell my parents was that I really didn't hang out with people a lot last year. I wouldn't consider myself a loner, but I did not have any close friends. Don't get me wrong, I did talk to people everyday, but I just only kept them as acquaintances. I have no clue why I never bothered to try to have friends. Maybe it was because I just didn't want to deal with any drama, and when you have close friends, eventually you'll have some kind of drama. It could also be the fact that I was mostly independent in the first place and don't really need to rely on someone for anything.

Other than the friend situation, I had something else on my mind. It was Odd. I've known this kid ever since he moved next door to me when we were in 8th grade and never out of the three years has he even bothered to talk to me as much as he has today. I just don't understand why he would start to be this friendly to me all of a sudden unless he was trying to get something out of me. I've never had a thing against Odd, but he's not exactly the best person to really be associated with according to everyone else. Yeah, he's quite handsome, has a good sense of humor, and is pretty kind to most people, but he is also known to be a slacker and somewhat of a lady's man. Not only that, he's also close friends with Ulrich Stern, Jeremy Belpois, Yumi Ishiyama, and Aelita Stones and they are one mysterious bunch. I'm not exactly sure if all of that is true, but that's just what I've heard about Odd.

After my mind had finally settled down with all of its wondering, I finally started to doze off. Before I knew it, I was finally alseep.

The plane had been in flight for 8 hours when I woke up from the nap that I took. When I opened my eyes, I found myself resting my head on Odd's shoulder and he had his head resting on mine as he slept. That sort of freaked me out because I didn't want Odd to get the idea that I liked him or something. But then again, I didn't want to wake him up from his nap. That would just be plain hateful.

After a little thinking, I decided that I would stay pretending I was asleep at least until Odd woke up and moved over. It was about twenty minutes later before he even made the slightest movement and I was on the verge of falling back asleep. Then just when I least expected it, Odd finally lifted his head up off of mine and looked down at me to smirk.

"Did you enjoy your nap?"

I just rolled my eyes at him, "I could ask you the same."

"True, but you put your head on my shoulder first. I didn't want to disturb you and I was tired too. It was only fair enough for me to use you as a pillow since you were using me as one."

"Oh, so you do admit you were using me! Thanks a lot Odd," I scoffed.

"You know what I mean Serena. Anyways, you were using me first!" he replied in his defence.

To save us from getting into a stupid arguement about the naps we just took, I pulled out my purse and dug around in it to find the envelope that contained my schedule for this year. Once I found it, I pulled it out to read what classes I'm taking.

"Is that your schedule?" Odd asked me.

"Yeah."

Then Odd reached in his pants' pocket and pulled out a folded up piece of paper. I was guessing that was his schedule that he just pulled out. He then unfolded the paper and compared it to my own.

"Looks like we have every class together."

"Great," I sighed. I really didn't know what to think about that. Could I really stand to be around this kid practically all day, everyday?

"Way to be enthusiastic about it," Odd replied, a little bummed out by my answer, "You don't have to be mean about it."

"Sorry. I'm just a little groggy from the nap. Just give me a few minutes and I'll be pleasant again."

"Ok."

While I continued to look at my schedule, I noticed that there was another piece of paper in the envelope. I pulled it out to read it:

"Dear Miss Serena Shay,

This letter is to inform you that during the upcoming year at Kadic Academy, you will not be sharing a dormitory room with Miss Elisabeth Delmas anymore. Instead, you will be given a dormitory room that has just been opened up across the hall from your previous one, Room 12. I request that you move in as soon as possible before classes start. I hope that this change will not be an inconvienence to you. Thank you for choosing to study at Kadic another year.

Sincerly,

Jean-Pierre Delmas

Headmaster of Kadic Academy"

"Yes!" I was ecstatic about the new change.

"What?" Odd asked.

"I get my own dorm room this year and I don't have to room with Sissi anymore," I told him, smiling as I reread the letter.

Odd's mouth dropped open out of shock, "You were roommates with Sissi?"

"Yeah. Ever since 6th grade I've had to deal with her and all her mess. There's only so much 'Ulrich shall be mine' and 'I'm going to get to the bottom of what Ulrich and his friends are doing' a person can take."

"How'd you not go crazy? I would have gone slam off on Sissi if I had to hear that all the time."

"Eh, there were some times when I had to tell her to shut up and that nobody cares, but I think my iPod is the only way I kept sanity in that room."

Odd chuckled, "I don't blame you. I just can't believe she's that jealous of us though."

"Oh, you'd be surprised," I said, "She can't even go a whole day without mentioning something you and your friends are doing and trying to figure out why. It's driven that kid insane. Sometimes the way Sissi acted was quite strange though. It was like she was possessed by some evil force or something. A few times I heard her like say 'Need to get Aelita' or 'Kill Jeremy' in a demonic voice and it freaked me out a few times, but eventually she would stop or..." I stopped mid-sentence because I realized that I was about to reveal one of my secrets and Odd was already giving me a wierd look for what I told him. Curse me and my big mouth!

"You say she was possessed?" he asked.

"I know it sounds strange, but I swear she was."

"Hmmm..."

Great...Now Odd thinks I'm the wierdo now. He looked at me for a moment like he wanted to tell me something important about the subject, but decided not to say it. Now that was really going to bother me until I found out what he was about to tell me. Then Odd continued on with the subject of roomates since he boards with Ulrich Stern.

Odd and I continued to talk for the rest of our flight and ended up landing at the airport around 6 AM. By the time we would make it to the school's campus, it would be time for breakfast and then we could get our rooms straight afterwards. Well, now is the official start of the brand new year at Kadic Academy. I hope everything goes great.


So there's the first chapter! It's kinda crappy, but I promise you that it will get way better later on in the story. Don't forget to Fave/Subscribe/Review please! Chapter 2 will be up really soon, I promise :)
