Odd woke up with a yawn. He sat up and stretched.

"Hey, Ulrich, wake up and smell the coffee." he said, getting up and shaking the brunette's shoulder. Ulrich grumbled a little as he opened his eyes.

"What time is it?" he asked.

"Almost time for class." Odd replied.

Ulrich jumped out of bed. "Why didn't you wake me up sooner? We're gonna be late!"

He rushed around the room, preparing for class, when Odd burst out laughing.

"What?" Ulrich asked.

"Don't worry. It's only 7:45, you've got plenty of time."

"Then why'd you tell me class was about to start?"

"To wake you up. It worked!"

Ulrich glared at him. "Odd, don't do that. We have a field trip today, I don't want to miss it."

"Yeah, yeah, you're going to some factory. Big whoop. I'm stayin' here."

"It's a wheat factory, and I'm not that into it either, but it beats sitting around all day doing nothing."

"Well, while you're watching grass get cut, I'm gonna practice guitar."

"Kay, see ya later."

Ulrich grabbed his backpack, and headed off to class.

After checking on Kiwi, Odd too headed for class.

Odd yawned as his algebra teacher went on and on about integers.

'This is SOO boring...' he thought with a sigh as he doodled on his paper. He glanced at the clock, and saw gratefully there was only 2 minutes left.

"So, Odd, what do you have for the answer?" the teacher asked suddenly. Odd jumped slightly.

"H-huh?" he asked, looking up in confusion.

The teacher smirked as she took his paper. "Let's see your answer."

"Hm, I don't think a dog is the solution to this equation." she said, turning the paper over and revealing a drawing of Kiwi. Odd grinned sheepishly while the rest of the class laughed. The bell rang, and everyone gathered their supplies and headed for the door.

"Odd, please try to pay attention tommarow." the teacher said.

"No problem Mrs. G. See ya tommarow." Odd waved a little as he left the room.

He was glad there was only two more classes before school ended. Ulrich and the rest of the group would leave for the wheat factory after the next class.

'Who would wanna go to some factory that shows how wheat's turned into bread? Bor-ing.' Odd thought as he took a seat in his science class.

"Alright, class," the teacher greeted, "Today we'll be continuing our lesson on genetics..."

Odd tuned him out.

In Lyoko...

In the desert region, the tower, normally with a blue aura around the top, gained a red aura instead.

In the factory, the scanner opened, and William stepped out of it. Instead of regular pupils, the eye of Xana took their place. He left the factory, and headed for the school.

Odd stretched and layed back on his bed.

"Nice to have some peace and quiet." he sighed, Kiwi jumped onto the bed with him and layed next to him.

Ulrich, Jeremy, Aelita, and Yumi had gone on the field trip, leaving Odd as the only member of their group who'd stayed behind. A handful of students had also stayed behind, leaving the school relativily quiet and empty.

"Wonder if they're havin' fun? I know we wouldn't, right Kiwi?" he asked, petting the small dog.

There was a knock on the door.

"Coming." he called, putting Kiwi in the drawer that doubled as the dog's bed.

He opened the door with a wide grin on his face.

"Hiya, how can I-"

He stopped upon recognising the person who had knocked, a look of shock and horror on his face.

It was William. And for the record, he didn't look cheerful.

This is my first Code Lyoko fic, so I hope everyone was somewhat in character. At the moment, Odd is my favorite character. Hope you like this story as much as my other ones! R&R!
