Hey there, dudes!

I'm so happy. I got more reviews then I expected, thnx, everyone.

Now about chars ages, I haven't seen many episodes yet cos the series has only just started where I live, so I don't no their proper ages. Im just gonna stick with the way I had them, which is:

Yumi: 14

Ulrich: 13

Odd: 13

Jeremie: 12

Sam: 13

Aelita: I have no idea, you can choose what age she is.

Ok, that's sorted, on with the story!

Ulrich's Secret

Chapter 2

It was 7 o'clock in the morning when the bell at Kadic School went off. All the pupils groaned loudly, most of them hated that bell with a vengeance, one in particular.

The blonde/purple haired boy cursed rather loudly before stuffing his head underneath his pillow. He hated getting up early. It wasn't fair to be woken up at 7 every day.

'Actually, we do get the weekends off' he reasoned. It brightened his mood when he thought of the weekend. Not just the weekend. The two weeks vacation coming up in just a weeks time. Oh, yeah, sweet, sweet vacation.

Odd didn't bother to get up. He never did. It was the same every morning. The bell would go, he would lie there for 5 minutes, then his faithful room mate, Ulrich would come and drag him out of bed. It had become a kind of daily ritual, really.

So, as usual, Odd continued to lie there, enjoying the softness of his surprisingly comfy school-bed, thinking only of what he was going to eat for breakfast that morning.

While thinking of his future 10 pancakes, 3 bananas and 5 glasses of orange juice, the minutes went by without him realising.

After a while, he noticed that Ulrich was taking a while and lifted his weary head to look at his bedside clock.

He gasped loudly. It had been 30 minutes since the bell had gone and they had already missed half of breakfast!

"Oh, man!" Odd sprung from the bed as if it was on fire, and landed on his feet very like the way he did in Lyoko.

'Great, he must of gone without me, some friend!'

Odd growled "Ulrich! Why didn't you wake me up, you selfish pig…" Odd yelled out loud until he turned towards his room mates bed.

He gasped loudly.

Ulrich was still in his own bed, sleeping deeper then he usually did, which was strange because he didn't even have his earplugs in.

Odd watched him for a while, completely stunned.

'Even with earplugs in, Ulrich never misses the bell. What the hell?'

Odd walked over to his sleeping friend and knelt down next to him.

For the third time that morning, Odd gasped.

His friend did not look good at all. His eyes had large grey bags under them and his skin was quite pale. Even though he was asleep, he looked totally exhausted.

'What's up? He was fine yesterday. Hmm, better wake him up.

He reached his hand out to his friend and shook him gently.

"Ulrich….Ulrich…come on buddy, wakey wakey"

When Ulrich didn't even twitch, Odd shook him harder.

"Ulrich! Come on, dude, we're gonna miss breakfast, now wake up!"

Slowly, Ulrich's eyes opened and heavy eyes looked up.

Ulrich took one look at Odd, before groaning, "Oh…go 'way, Odd." his words came out very slurred as if he had had too much to drink.

"Sorry, dude, but you gotta get up. We're gonna miss breakfast and by the look of you, first and second lessons too. Ha ha."

Ulrich just groaned again, "I'm not in the mood for jokes, Odd"

"Come on, get your butt moving, we gotta go now!"

"Oh………alright, I'm getting up."

With that, Ulrich pulled himself out of his cosy bed. Odd immediately noticed that he was still wearing the clothes he wore yesterday.

"Dude, why you still wearing them?" he said indicating to Ulrich's scruffy garments.

Ulrich didn't answer, just shrugged and made his way to the door.

Odd cringed as he watched Ulrich walk out of the room in the same clothes, but decided not to say anything. It was clear that Ulrich definitely didn't want it right now.

Odd's brow furrowed as he began to follow Ulrich out. In his mind, he decided on a course of action.

'Something's up with him and I'm gonna find out what.'

I know, my writing goes through a story way too fast. And I'm real sorry 'bout that. I can't help it, I swear I'm trying to fix it.

The others will be in the next chappie, so look out for them!
