Chapter 4: Alexander

Odd and Ulrich burst into their room laughing at one of Odd's jokes, not realizing that someone was in there. Alexander stopped unpacking and looked up. Ulrich stopped laughing.

"Sorry" Ulrich said and went and stood by the window looking out.

"Hi, I'm Odd" Odd said introducing himself.

"Is Odd your real name?" Alexander asked.

"Yeah" Odd answered.

"Oh, wow, I'm Alexander but you can call me Alex"

"That's Ulrich" Odd said motioning to the window.

"What's he doing?"

"Looking to see if his girlfriend Yumi is still outside"

"ODD" Ulrich yelled. He then hit Odd so hard that he fell over.

"Ouch" Odd said in pain.

"You deserve it" Ulrich mumbled.

"Can you keep a secret?" Odd asked Alex.

"Yeah, why?" he asked in reply.

Odd opened up a drawer and out popped the head of Kiwi. "We aren't allowed to have pets here but I would die without Kiwi" explained Odd. "If Jim knew, I'd get into big trouble."

"Your secrets safe with me."

"Great."

There was a knock on the door and Ulrich opened it to find Sissi standing there.

"Oh Ulrich, I missed you so much over the summer! I'm so glad your back!" exclaimed Sissi while hugging him.

"Sissi! Let go of me!" Ulrich yelled while pushing Sissi away.

"Sissi, this is Alex, Alex, Sissi" said Odd.

"Hi" said Alex, wondering why Odd had introduced them. He didn't want to know Sissi.

"Hmmm" said Sissi pondering. "Nice black hair, I like the camouflage cargo pants, don't like the black shirt or the hair style" Sissi looks back at Ulrich and said, "If you could look like him, I'd date you" she then walked out of the room waving at Ulrich.

"Rude" said Alex.

"Mmhmm" replied Ulrich and Odd at the same time.
