A/N: A crazy one-shot idea I had after watching a short with a school teacher David Tennant and an annoying student Catherine Tate arguing over Doctor Who, Tennant's Scottish background and Shakespeare. Yeah…and who else would need a snarky, sarcastic English tutor from the grand ol' country of England more than Italian heart throb himself?
Disclaimer: I do not own the show for it belongs to those French dudes. If I did own it, I wouldn't be writing fan fiction for this now would I? Oh, I also do NOT own the Shakespeare sonnet "My Mistress' Eyes" either.
Code Lyoko: My Crazy English Tutor from England
"I can't believe I have to do this…" Odd growled, his eyes glaring at a random bookshelf.
"Oh relax, Odd," his best friend, Ulrich Stern sighed. He batted at a crumpled paper ball lazily with a pen.
"Exactly," Aelita chirped in cheerfully, looking up from one of the books she was reading. "If anything bad happens, we'll be here to save you."
"Or we might just let you crash and burn….you never know," Yumi added in; making the group, besides Odd of course, laugh.
"Oh ha ha, very funny!" Odd looked over at Jeremie, whom was reading through and double checking his home work. "Do you know who my tutor is?"
Jeremie looked up, a confused look written on his face. "Huh? Oh, yeah. I don't know her name but she's an eleventh grader."
Odd rolled his eyes. "That's so very helpful…"
Jeremie smiled and added. "She's also English, meaning she's from England."
"Well, that's even bigger relief. Let's just hope for my sake, she's at least decent to look at."
The door to the library opened quickly. Odd quickly looked over in the direction and saw a tall girl in a black tank top and red plaid skirt. Her black socks were pulled past her knee and she wore black ballet flats. Her auburn, straightened bangs hung over her face, covering her eyebrows and forehead but Odd could see the serious look in her green eyes. Odd took one look at her and knew that she didn't look like fun. He turned his back to her prayed to whichever god was listening that the serious looking girl was not his tutor.
"I'm looking for a…Odd Della Robbia," Her crisp English accent filled the air of the library.
Dammit! Dammit Dammit! Dammit!...
"I'm not here…" Odd muttered, shrinking in his chair. "I'm not here…"
"He's right here for you!" It was Aelita who sold him out, standing out of her chair and pointing at Odd.
The group, once again except for Odd, burst into laughter.
"Oh yeah! Laugh it up!" Odd shouted at them, forgetting that it was a library and frankly not really caring.
"Well, love, are you ready or not?" Odd jumped and saw the English tutor behind him. A cruel smirk was on her face and her moss green eyes glimmered with anticipation.
"Um…I don't know," Odd answered in a quiet voice.
Her smirk grew bigger. "My names Anne Marie Pond and don't worry, I won't kill your friend."
The group greeted Anne Marie politely while Odd narrowed his eyes at her.
"Now, now…don't give me that look!" The English girl snapped at Odd. He immediately shrunk back into his seat. "I don't want to do this either but I have to."
"Why? What are they paying you? I'll triple it!"
Anne Marie scoffed. "They are not paying me anything, you twit. This is part of a charity I just created."
"A charity?" Aelita asked. "What is it called?"
"I call it the "Foundation of Helping Bloody Blokes understand Shakespeare".
"Shakespeare?" Odd squeaked. "No! Anything but that, please?"
"Why not? Shakespeare is amazing and you know it."
"Ulrich! Please help me!" Odd pleaded to his best friend but Ulrich shrugged him off.
"Sorry Odd…You have to do what your tutor says," Ulrich responded with a smirk.
"Blimey…may I take him now?" Anne Marie asked the group.
The group nodded in unison, each bearing an evil smile. Anne Marie returned to them with an evil smile of her own and looked down at Odd, placing a cold hand on his shoulder.
"Brilliant! Shall we, sweetie?"
"Um…no?"
"Aw…too bad!" Anne Marie quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him up. To the other side of the library, Odd was basically dragged by the dark ginger haired girl. Once she found an empty table she directed him to sit down. She took a seat on the opposite side of him and looked at him with serious green eyes. She took out a thick book that had the image of William Shakespeare on the cover. She took out another one and handed it to Odd. "There we are."
Odd looked at Shakespeare and grimaced. "We're in for the long run, Willy boy," he muttered to the book cover. "Well better worthy enough for her to remember."
He looked back up at her. Anne Marie was looking at him with a brow raised. "You okay?"
"Fine…so do you have a boyfriend?" Odd threw the question back at her.
Anne Marie's eyes widened. "Now don't be pulling this with me!"
"So I take it as a no."
Anne Marie growled. "No…but I'd never go out with the likes of you."
"It was worth a try," Odd said with a smile. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Anne Marie's furious expression.
"Hmph…now, open your book to page-"
"How do you get your hair to be so shiny?" Anne Marie looked up from her book to glare at him. "Is it even your natural color?"
"Yes it is! I've never dyed my hair once in my life. Now, turn your book-"
"What kind of shampoo do you use?"
"It doesn't matter!" Anne Marie's voice was getting more irritated by the second. "Now, I got a question for you."
"What is it, Ms Pond?"
"Are you like this for your teachers?"
"No…I just sleep when they talk. I'm having fun watching you get mad. I say you're pretty cute when you are, but that's the only emotion I've seen from you today."
Anne Marie sighed and ran a hand through her long, wavy hair. "I say…how about we just get this over with?"
"Why not take our time? It's not like you have a boyfriend or anything."
"What? Why you-"
"By the way, do you even know a whole Shakespeare thingy or poem or songlet-"
"It's called a "sonnet"…"
"Whatever…you don't really look like the girl who would be into that kind of stuff. I mean, look at how you dress! You don't even look like someone who would be an 'expert' in the English language, even being from the place it originated from."
Anne Marie stood up quickly, her green eyes looking hostile and intimidating.
"My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lip's red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun,
If hair be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
In some perfumes there is more delight
Than the breath with which my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know,
Music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare."
As Anne Marie recited the sonnet, Odd cowered in his chair, trying to hide from her harsh English voice. Hell, even all the people in library were getting a show out of this as Anne Marie beat Shakespeare into Odd's brain. And when she finished, she picked up her Shakespeare book and smirked at Odd, her eyes still dangerously furious though.
"Bite me, Italian boy!" Anne Marie shouted.
Odd sat in his chair with his mouth wide open. Now the entire library was waiting in silence for their next move. A smirk crawled across Odd's face and he stood up out of his chair. He was looking into Anne Marie's moss green eyes. He leaned in and, almost too quickly, he licked the English girl's right cheek.
Her eyes widened and her mouth was wide open, looking at Odd in shock. Her hand was over the spot he licked. A big, stupid grin crossed his face.
"Sorry, I don't bite until about the tenth date."
Anne Marie's face turned from shock to anger. "Odd…"
"Yeah? You ready to admit that I'm irresistible?
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"Uh-oh!" And with that Odd ran out of the library. Anne Marie was hot on his heels yelling British slang and threatening him with death.
Odd's friends were sitting at their table still, trying not to die from laughter.
