Chapter 1: Rejected
"Yumi," Ulrich said leaning over.
"Yes Ulrich," Yumi responded.
"How come you're so quiet?" Ulrich asked.
Yumi felt the immediate urge to kick him.
Maybe because when I talk you don't listen, Yumi thought in annoyance.
"No reason," Yumi responded.
"Come on Yumi," Ulrich pressed.
"I just don't feel like talking," Yumi said.
Or being tuned out, Yumi added in her thoughts.
"You know I'll listen to anything you have to say," Ulrich said gently stroking her hair.
If only, Yumi thought.
"Okay," Yumi said, "the gymnasium's going to be used for a party in two months," she told him, "would you consider taking me?"
"You're my girlfriend," Ulrich said matter of factly.
"That's not the point," Yumi said.
Ulrich sighed. He hated when Yumi behaved like this.
"Would you go to the party with me?" Ulrich asked with no enthusiasm.
Yumi jumped off his dorm bed.
"I'm not special to you, am I?" Yumi demanded.
"Of course you're special," Ulrich said sitting up, "you're my girlfriend."
"Is that all I am to you?" Yumi asked.
"What more do you want?" Ulrich asked incredulously.
"You're boring!" Yumi exploded, "I'm the only one trying to give our relationship spice."
Great this again, Ulrich thought.
"I'll do something special Yumi," Ulrich said, "I'll take you to a movie, a candle lit dinner in the summer…"
"Forget it," Yumi said heading for the door, "you know, Sissi gets more heat than I do when it comes to you," she told him.
"Then I suppose you'd like the heat Odd gives Aelita?" Ulrich asked angry.
Yumi glared at him.
"Sorry," Ulrich said backing down.
Yumi growled in exasperation.
He's like a mega-tamed lion, Yumi thought, what do I need to bring out his inner beast? she wondered, hell I'll take a kitten over this ice-cold relationship.
"I don't believe this," Aelita said covering her eyes.
"Um, Aelita, you didn't see right," Odd said, "Emily um, …she was only giving me…"
"Head?" Aelita finished.
"I told you this idea was dumb Odd," Emily said completely embarrassed.
"Idea!" Aelita shouted.
"Nothing, no idea here," Odd said too brightly.
"God you just…" Aelita said, "you're such a jerk!" she shouted and ran off crying.
"Aelita wai…" Odd started.
"She's right," Emily said angrily, "this was dumb."
"Fine I'll go," Odd said getting up.
Emily grabbed his hand.
"I said dumb, not unsatisfactory," Emily said grinning, "your turn."
