Upside Down
"Odd get up," Ulrich said. "You're about to miss breakfast!"
"AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Odd screamed. "Not breakfast!"
"Yes breakfast," Ulrich replied. "Now hurry up! I'm leaving in 5 minutes, with or without you." Odd didn't need the last part. He was already up and out of bed when he heard about breakfast. He was in the middle of gelling up his spiky hair when Ulrich started counting "10, 9, 8, 7….."
"I'm done, I'm DONE!!" Odd screamed.
"'Bout time," Ulrich said calmly. Together they walked out of their dorm room, making sure to lock the door behind them, and then made their way through the twisting halls and staircases of Kadic Academy. Now, this is no easy task when you're half asleep. Yes, Odd tripped down at least two flights of stairs, dragging Ulrich down one with him. By the time they finally made it to the cafeteria, Odd's arms and legs matched the purple pants he had throw on while getting dressed.
"Morning sleepy heads!" a cheerful Aelita said when Ulrich and Odd sat down after retrieving their food from the cafeteria workers, normal sized for Ulrich, triple sized for Odd.
"Morning!" replied an equally cheerful Odd, now fully awake after stuffing his mouth full of the scrambled eggs that were served for breakfast. Ulrich on the other hand mumbled something that sounded like "dang morning person".
After Odd ran out of food to eat (after going back for seconds and thirds of course), the gang, that is to say Jeremy, Aelita, Odd, and Ulrich, made their way to the courtyard to meet up with their friends Yumi and Zoe. Zoe was Yumi's childhood friend and she was at Kadic as an exchange student from America.
Odd took a good look at Zoe that day, good look meaning he stared, open-mouthed, at Zoe for five minutes until she said something about it. Why did he stare at her for a full five minutes? He was head-over-heels crazy about her. Now, you may be asking, "What ever happened to Sam?" Well, she and Odd tried the whole "I like you, you like me, let's go out" thing, but it didn't work out so well. That, and Sam moved to Switzerland. Things like that can break people up you know.
Today, in Odd's eyes, Zoe looked particularly stunning. Her shoulder length blonde hair was swept up into a ponytail, showing off her many streaks. She and Tori, her best friend in America (who also used to be, and still is, best friends with Yumi) decided to streak their hair one day, and now Zoe kept it up. Tori decided to put electric purple streaks in her brown hair, while Zoe decided on electric blue, her favorite color. The one color that Zoe, Tori, and Yumi all agreed on was pink, so when Yumi went to America to visit Tori and Zoe, they all put a streak of hot pink in their hair. It wasn't in a place anyone could really see it either. What they had done was they had pulled their hair up into ponytails, then pulled a small section of it out at the bottom of their head, bleached it pretty much white, then dyed it hot pink. Yumi didn't have her hair up much, so the rest of her friends didn't know about it until Zoe showed them. Anyhow, back to Zoe. She had just redone her streaks, so the blue shone vibrantly in her blonde hair. She was wearing a flowy blue shirt with bell-shaped sleeves, light blue jeans with a hole in the knee, and purple Converse that were decorated to the max. Odd just stared at her shocking blue eyes and wished he could just run up to her, bend her over, and kiss her until kingdom come! Unfortunately for him, Odd knew Zoe would totally freak out and be on the next flight to America before lunch.
While the gang was walking towards Yumi and Zoe, the girls began to talk animatedly. Zoe had an excited and mischievous look on her face, while Yumi had an angry and excited look on her. When Odd got within 5 yards of the two, he could hear Yumi shout, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS SOONER??!?!?" She grabbed Zoe's shoulders and started shaking her.
"Well, I wanted it to be a surprise for you," Zoe replied, equally as loud. "I know how you love surprises. You have no idea how hard it was to keep it a secret from you all this time!" Yumi just glowered, but after a minute, she started laughing and jumping up and down in excitement.
"What's so exciting?" Ulrich asked when the group finally reached the yelling duo.
"Well," Yumi started, "SOMEBODY just told me some super exciting news that she's been keeping from me for about, hmm.. let's see.. TWO MONTHS!" she yelled, throwing her hands up in the air.
"And what's that?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah, are Zoe and Odd finally going out?" Ulrich joked. A blush flew over Zoe's face, as well as one spread over Odd's.
"NO!" they both shouted at the same time. Ulrich took a step back and mumbled, "I was only kidding, gosh."
"It turns out," Yumi continued, ignoring the quarreling Odd, Zoe and Ulrich, whom was now in a Zoe headlock being tickled by Odd, "Mine and Zoe's other best friend Tori is coming for a visit day after tomorrow!" she exclaimed. "I couldn't believe Zoe kept this a secret from me!"
"Cool!" Ulrich said, finally getting his head and his breath back having been released by Odd and Zoe by Jeremy and Aelita. "We finally get to meet the famous Tori"
"Famous is right," Zoe laughed. "Her… OW!" Yumi had elbowed her in the ribs. "What was that for?!"
"Ixnae on the ingingsae," Yumi whispered loud enough for only Zoe to hear.
"OOO, right," Zoe returned. "I forgot." She then turned to the rest of the group. "I also heard that pop sensation Scottie McDottie is coming to France next week. Tori has really good connections, so maybe she could get us tickets!"
"No way!" Aelita cried out. "She's, like, my FAVORITE musical artist of all time! I love how she can sing any style or music and still make it sound good."
"Yeah, she's coming alright. I'm UBER excited. I could barely believe it myself," Zoe said, making Yumi snicker, which then of course made Zoe snicker, which made both of them burst out in hysterical laughter.
"What's so funny?" Jeremy asked.
"Oh nothing!" Zoe and Yumi said unanimously. Following that they both plastered big, cheesy grins on their faces that obviously were hiding fits of laughter. Ulrich and Odd looked at their respective crushes quizzically, questioning themselves as to how they were going to get the truth out of the giggling girls. Finally, the school bell rang, alerting the students that school was about to start. "See y'all later," Zoe said, her Texan accent getting the best of her. She and Yumi headed off to their 1st period Drama class while Odd, Ulrich, Jeremy, and Aelita headed of to their first period history class.
Yumi and Zoe could barely concentrate. Their minds kept wandering from their lesson, so they started to pass each other notes. They said things like "how much longer until Tori gets here?" and "what should we do first?!" and such. Luckily, they got through that class without the teacher yelling at them; he was too absorbed in a monologue he was reciting. Sometimes he could be so clueless! As second period rolled around, Yumi and Zoe trudged through the halls and the rest of the day, their heads in Lalaland, dreaming of what they would do when Tori arrived. Even as Zoe was joining Odd for their ritual end-of-the-day meditation (which was really just doing a headstand for 30 minutes) she kept thinking, and she came up with a brilliant idea. 'Life just looks better when you turn it upside down,' she said to herself.
