Chapter 2

Classroom Drama

"Class! class! Settle down!" Ms. Hertz the science teacher cried over her student's conversations. "Come on! come on! Let's be quiet please!"

The class settled and paid attention to their teacher.

"Now class, please pull out your homework from last night and a textbook."

The students grumbled as they followed their teacher's orders.

"Wow Odd!" Ulrich said as he took out his work and peeked over at his partner's homework. "You actually did the work?"

"Of course I did!" Odd said proudly. "And it's all correct!"

"Yea right," Jeremy said the desk behind Odd and Ulrich. Aelita chuckled.

"Wanna bet?" Odd said.

"And watch me, Jeremy, and Aelita win? Sure!" Ulrich agreed.

"Ten bucks from each of you!" Odd said as he raised his hand. "Ms. Hertz?"

Ms. Hertz walked over too Odd. "Yes Mr. Della Robia?"

"Do you mind if you checked my homework now?"

"Now Mr. Della Robia," Ms. Hertz chuckled as she scanned Odd's paper. "With all due respect, I-WOW! Odd, this is amazing!"

"What?" Ulrich said.

"These.. these... are all correct!" Ms. Hertz stammered. "Excellent job Odd! I am very proud!" Ms. Hertz continued collecting homework.

"I'm expecting my thirty bucks by the end of the day," Odd replied proudly.

Ulrich, Jeremy, and Aelita grumbled at Odd as Ms. Hertz started class. "Now class, let's turn our books to chapter-."

"WHOA!" yelled a student in class. All heads turned at a black-haired boy in the back of the class named Warren. He held his phone in his hand.

"Warren!" Ms. Hertz said with her hands on her hips. "What are you doing?"

"'Odd Della Robia and Dani Van Hansen: Kadic's new power couple'?!" Warren waved his phone around showing the article.

"WHAT?!" Odd screeched. He raced to Warren and took the phone. The rest of the class grabbed their phones.

"It's on !" Warren yelled. The rest of the class logged onto the Kadic rumor website.

"'The two have been really hitting it off?'" read one boy student.

"'They've been caught sneaking in each other's rooms'!" read another girl student.

Jeremy pulled out his laptop and logged on to the website. "Someone wrote about Odd and Dani getting together," Jeremy said.

"This is just too mean," Ulrich added as he read the whole story.

"Who writes these things?" Aelita asked.

Odd walked back to his desk and buried his head in his arms. "This is not happening. I'm not even with her!"

Suddenly the door flung open and all heads turned.

"Hi Ms. Hertz," Dani chirped happily. She waved a yellow pass. "Finished my work early so I thought I should come back."

"Hey Mrs. Della Robia!" yelled a boy student.

"Huh?" Dani said. "What are you talking about?"

"'Dani Della Robia'," said a girl student. "Has a nice ring don't you think?"

Dani ran over to the girl student and snatched her phone, scanning the screen. "WHAT?! ODD!"

"BBBBRRRIIINNNGG!" the bell rang and the students shot out the room. Jeremy, Aelita, Ulrich, and Odd stayed in their seats while Dani marched over.

"Odd what is up with this?!" Dani shouted.

"I didn't do this! I didn't say anything!" Odd said.

"He really didn't," Ulrich added, trying to help.

"Please! Let's not fight!" Aelita replied. "Its just a rumor."

Dani opened her mouth but no words came. "Fine," Dani said. "But this is still unbelievable." Dani angrily made her way out of the classroom.

"So much for her liking me now," Odd said.
