Yumi sat in her bed sulking in her room, holding her knees close to her chest. Her stomach was flipping all over the place as if she was almost about to puke.

Horrid thoughts played over and over in her head as if she had fallen asleep to the same nightmare every night. Memories of Sissy and Ulrich again continued to pop up insider her head no matter how hard so tried to fight them off.

Lately nobody could see the hurt in her eyes when she looked at them except her friend Odd. He noticed how she wouldn't talk to the gang as much. How she was avoiding Ulrich for the past three weeks. How her grades had been slipping.

Hot tears steamed from Yumi's eyes.

'How could he do that to me?' She continued to ask herself.

Inside she felt hatred towards one pitiful boy that she loved so much, and yet he could easily break her apart. She had never felt so vulnerable…so weak.

Every thought she had included the boy she loved. Ulrich Stern. Sadly she knew he would never return those feelings.

Yumi scooted off to the side of her bed, and nearly tripped over herself as she stood to her feet and scurried over to her desk and rummaged through her drawers.

In one hand she grabbed a pen and in the other she held a piece of paper.

She wiped the wetness from her face a began to write.

"Dear My Closest Friends," she wrote so hard she almost ripped through the paper. In the process of writing she tried wiping away a single tear drop that had escaped from her face.

When she finished she folded it perfectly and laid it down on the center of her desk.

Vibrating in her pocket, she took out her phone and noticed Ulrich was calling her. She quickly hit the ignore button on her phone.

Yumi opened the door to her dorm room, shut it behind her, and proceeded on her way.

With Ulrich

---

Ulrich slammed Jeremie's dorm room door shut and threw himself down on the bed next to Aelita and Odd.

Jeremie turned around in his computer chair to face Ulrich.

"What's sup?" He questioned already knowing the answer.

"I'll tell you what's up. Yumi is ignoring me everyday. She continues to ignore all my calls, and when I see her in the hall and try to ask her what's wrong she makes up an excuse like she has to go. Damn women." Ulrich sighed in frustration.

"Seriously… what is her problem?"

Everyone's eyes looked in other directions.

"Wait…you guys know?" Ulrich asked angrily. His face turned red with anger when no one answered. "What the hell!!! And you didn't bother to tell me…?"

"She saw you and Sissy making out, and she's pissed…" Odd blurted out so fast it was almost hard to understand.

Ulrich's mouth formed into the shape of an O. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I didn't mean….She made me…" He tried to explain. "Aelita look you're a girl…"

"No, really? You just noticed?" She scowled.

Ulrich rolled his eyes. "What I mean is, can you please go and tell her I am really sorry and just to let me explain. She won't let me talk to her."

"Fine, let's go see her then." Aelita flopped off the bed and trailed to the door.

The group quickly left Jeremie's room and headed to talk to Yumi.

Aelita softly knocked on Yumi's door once they reached it.

"Yumi?" Aelita said loud enough so her voice could be heard on the other side of the door.

There was no reply.

"Yumi, I know you are in there!"

Ulrich sighed and pretended to bang his head on the wall.

"You see what I mean?"

Aelita opened turned the door knob surprised to see it was unlocked and swung the door open.

"She's not even in here!" Odd said.

Ulrich mumbled.

"She's probably in study hall or something. Let's check there." Jeremie explained.

"No…" Aelita said. "Look." She picked up a picked up a letter on the desk.

Her eyes ran across the page until she couldn't read anymore.

"She's gone…she left…"

"Wait what…"

Aelita shoved the paper towards Ulrich.

Ulrich read what it said.

"Ulrich it's gonna be okay, she'll come back or well find her…" Odd laid a hand on his buddy's shoulder.

Ulrich crumbled the paper and threw it to the floor and pushed Odd's hand off.

"Leave me alone."

Ulrich ran out of the room.

Odd ran to chase after him but was stopped by an arm.

"Don't Odd, he needs to be alone for a bit, I don't think we could say anything to change how he's feeling."

"Where is Yumi? Is she even going to come back? You can't possibly tell me she's run away, how is Ulrich supposed to take this?"

"I don't know Odd." Aelita sighed.

"We have to look for her." Odd demanded. "I cant sit back and watch this. Somebody go find Ulrich. I know he loves her, and we need him."

I know stupid, but hey you try and think up stories it's hard. But still please review, it is going to change a lot in the next chapter, that is if you want to see it. But review anyways. It's not that bad in the next chappy. Ta Ta for now.
