Summary: Lexington's beautiful, smart, funny, blunt, sarcastic, rude, athletic, cocky, and she's not right for Ulrich. But is she right for Ulrich?

Yumi's P.O.V.

Standing in Aelita's window I watched Ulrich walk into the cafeteria with Odd. He looked handsome in his green t-shirt and grey Adidas sweatpants.

"You know he's not going to wait around forever."

Turning around I saw Aelita leaning against the doorway with her arms crossed.

"Who isn't?" Questioning her I moved away from the window and sat on her bed.

"Don't play dumb with me Yumi." Rolling her eyes my best friend moved away from the doorway and joined me on her bed. "I'm talking about Ulrich. He isn't going to wait around for you forever. You guys have been going back and forth since you were fourteen."

"We're just good friends." Avoiding her gaze, I gave my usual answer every time we had this conversation.

"Right. Reality check Yumi you're not. You and Ulrich have liked each other for forever!" But all you do is push him away and tell everybody that you're "just friends". Another girl's going to come and you're going to get left in the dust." Aelita continued visibly frustrated. "I'm just worried you're going to get hurt later on is all."

Inwardly I prayed that that day would never come but I couldn't admit that aloud to the younger girl.

"Don't worry about it Aelita I won't. I'm fine." Responding I decided to play it safe.

"Excuse me ladies."

Looking up we saw Jim standing in Aelita's open doorway.

"I was looking for you Aelita. We have a new transfer student and she's your new roommate." Our gym teacher explained writing something on his clipboard.

"Yay! That's great." Aelita exclaimed smiling and standing, she had been wanting a roommate for a long time now.

"Lexington." Jim called down the hallway.

"I'm coming!" A feminine voice called back before sliding by Jim and entering the dorm with us.

"Here she is, Lexington Sterling. She's a transfer from Kingston." He explained to us before turning back to the new girl. "Lexington please stay out of trouble."

"No promises Coach." She said smirking as Jim muttered something about having other things to do elsewhere.

"I'm Aelita Stones and this is Yumi Ishiyama." My pinkette friend introduced us as she moved closer to study Lexington.

Lexington was about my height with brown skin, looking to be biracial. Her hair was black and curly pinned up in a ballerina bun. She was dressed in a dark green v-neck, a pair of athletic shorts, and black converse. She was beautiful in a laid back way, like she didn't even try. Still there was something about her that I didn't like.

"Welcome to Kadic." Aelita smiled greeting her new roommate.

"Thanks. It's cool to be here." Lexington smiled placing her suitcase on her bed.

"Um, it's time for lunch." Tentatively I interrupted the blossoming friendship.

"Ohh food." Lexington nodded as she started down the hallway.

"You know which way to go?" Following her along with Aelita, I questioned.

"Yeah. I've been here a million times." She shrugged shoving her hands into the pockets of her shorts.

Entering the cafeteria, we joined the boys at our table.

"Guys, this is-"

"Lexington?" Ulrich questioned looking up from his phone and interrupting Aelita.

"Hey Stern." The new girl replied dropping into a seat in front of the brunette.

Frowning at the fact that she was in my spot, I sat in front of Odd.

"What are you doing here?" Ulrich continued giving her his full attention.

"Troy traded me for one of yours. They just decided it this morning." She shrugged as she swiped a carrot from his tray.

The brunette halfheartedly swiped her hand away. Frowning I didn't like the way their hands grazed for a second too long.

"And you went along with it? I'm surprised. I thought you would have them gave them hell."

"I wanted to come. I needed a change of scenery." She answered her voice lowering as they locked eyes. "Otherwise I would have."

"How do you two know each other?" Asking I interrupted their private conversation.

"We were in the same soccer camp this summer." Ulrich answered not taking his eyes off of the girl.

"I know her too! She pushed me out of the way this morning and almost knocked me down the stairs." Odd accused in his usual over dramatic way that made the rest of us roll our eyes.

"Well I did say excuse me." Lexington laughed placing her palm in her hands and batting her eyelashes innocently.

"After you pushed me."

"At least I said it though."1 `

"Meanie." Odd said sticking his tongue out.

"Scrawny." Lexington replied rolling her eyes and continuing the banter.

"Even she thinks so." Ulrich said as he and Aelita laughed at the new dark haired girl.

"I AM NOT SCRAWNY." Odd yelled drawing attention towards himself.

"Sit down and shut up." Ulrich commanded pulling his best friend back down into his chair.

"Hey. Who is this?" Jeremy asked as he and William showed up and joined us.

"This is Lexington." She introduced herself proudly sitting straight up in the chair.

"I'm Jeremy."

"Nice to meet you." She said smiling brightly as she reached across to shake hands with the genius.

"William." The blue haired boy greeted before turning to me. "Hi Yumi."

"Hey." I replied not really wanting to talk to him but enjoying the attention he gave me in front of Ulrich.

I watched Ulrich roll his eyes before turning towards Odd and Lexington.

"Let's go get in line for desert." He suggested standing up.

"Coming." Odd agreed always down for food.

"Bring me something back Ulrich." Lexington requested leaning back in her chair.

"No Lexington." Ulrich called over his shoulder.

"Ulrich!"

"Say please."

Lexington sighed dramatically and rolled her eyes before giving in, "Please."

"No."

Ulrich and Odd laughed before getting in line.

Lexington just shrugged not seeming bothered by Ulrich's answer, "He'll bring me something back."

"Are you and Ulrich close?" Questioning her I tried to keep the jealousy out of my voice.

"Define close." She requested taking a sip of water.

"Like you know each other well."

"I guess so." Lexington shrugged. "We spent a lot of time together during our camp."

"Here Lexington." Ulrich said rolling his eyes and placing a cupcake in front of the biracial girl.

"Aww it's red velvet. My fave." She smiled taking a big bite of it.

"I know." He smiled softly sitting back down.

"So what grade are you in?" Jeremy asked.

"Tenth." Lexington replied as she enjoyed her cupcake.

"Why did you wait so late to transfer?"

"I used to go to Kingston. They traded me with one of you guys' soccer players. So I only go here to play soccer. Like being on a scholarship, I guess."

"So you're really good then?" Aelita asked.

"Oh I'm the best." Aelita's new roommate answered arrogantly.

"After me." Ulrich interjected with a fake cough into his hand.

"I'm better than you Ulrich." Lexington argued her attention shifting from Jeremy to back to Ulrich.

"No you aren't Lanx. I'm the best. Then you." The brunette argued crossing his arms and leaning back in the chair.

Lanx? He's close enough to her to have a nickname for her?

"Shut up. No one was talking to you." She snapped rolling her eyes.

"Why? Because I was telling the truth." Ulrich fired back passionately.

"I am better than you Ulrich Stern."

"You aren't."

"How about we prove this after lunch? Winner takes the title of being the best." Odd suggested interrupting the bickering two.

"Fine." They said at the same time locking eyes.

"I'm finished. Let's go. I am going to prove to you that I'm better." The new girl announced standing up.

"Whatever Lexington." Ulrich said shrugging as he left the cafeteria with the girl.

"She is one feisty girl." Odd laughed breaking the silence after they left.

"That she is." Aelita agreed smiling. "I love her."

"Well I don't like her."

"And why not Yumi? Lexington's awesome." Odd questioned rooting for the new girl.

"I just don't."

"It's probably just because that Ulrich pays attention to her." He muttered under his breath before shoving more food in his mouth.

"It's not that." Replying hotly my face heated up with embarrassment.

"Hey Yumi?"

"Yeah William?"

"Want to study for the science test tomorrow?"

"Sure." Shrugging I agreed since Ulrich wanted to run off with his new playmate.

"Odd!" Lexington called as they both reentered the cafeteria in their uniforms.

"Yes?"

"You're the referee."

"But I'm not done eating." Odd argued hugging his food close to him.

"We really need a referee. Lexington cheats."

"I do not cheat." Lexington argued crossing her arms. "I don't need to anyway."

"Keep telling yourself that." Ulrich rolled his eyes before tugging on her ponytail.

"What do I get out of this?" Odd asked.

"Loser has to buy you all you can eat for dinner." Lexington bribed

"What?" Ulrich asked shocked.

"What's wrong? Scared?" The cocky girl questioned jutting her hip out.

"Never that. Deal."

"Fine, I'll come." Odd agreed instantly as they left the cafeteria.

"Come on you guys." Aelita urged not waiting to see if we followed or not.

We all followed her outside to see Lexington and Ulrich already on the field.

"The score's two to two. She sure does put up a fight against Ulrich." Odd commented.
